There are restrictions, exceptions, exemptions, and exclusions, including a payback over 15 years, so pay attention to the details.

"April 9th"? Anyone suspect that some Congresscritters son-in-law bought a house on the 10th?

The (up to) 20% Mortgage Credit Certificate program is a good deal for first time home buyers who qualify based on income and location.
