I am planning to sell a home and I am financing the purchase. The buyer seems to meet the requirement for a first time home buyer tax credit but I can't find out if owner financing will qualify. I would prefer to make the sale with a quit claim deed ?

As long as the deed will be in the buyer's name they will quailify for the credit. The credit is for anyone purchasing a home (for the first time. There isn't a financing requirement. So in theory if someone wanted to buy a home outright with all of their own funds, then they would still qualify for the credit. However, if the person is still unsure, they should check with their tax professional. In fact, I would put a stiuplation in the contract and/or mortgage that you are not guaranteeing that they will qualify for the first time home buyer tax credit. Because if for so reason they don't, you don't want them coming after you for the credit.

If a prospective buyer does not have good credit, is it still possible to qualify for a loan on a foreclosed property?

No, you are what your credit score is! You may get a loan with an enormous amount of interest on your loan. Also, a lot of banks that buy out the foreclosures want cash not credit. It depends on the company's policy and if you have a co-signer or not.


Can you have already owned a house and still receive the first time home buyer credit?

No, since you are not a first time home buyer. I tried that when I got a divorce and because my husband and I had bought a home I didn't qualify. Not necessarily true. In New Jersey, if you haven't owned a house in the last 3 years, you are considered a first time home buyer and are eligible for the First Time Home Buyer Program funded by the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (NJHMFA). This loan offers a below-market, fixed interest rate and can even help with down payments. I would check with a mortgage company in your state to see if there is a similar program available.

Does an assumed loan show up on the original borrowers credit report?

If the borrower formally assumes the note, another words the bank gives the ok to the new borrower, the bank can notify credit bureaus to delete that entry in credit report. If new buyer takes title "subject to" without the banks permission the original borrower will still show up in their credit report. because as far as the bank is concerned you are still responsible, no matter who pays the note.
