I don't think the tax rebate would qualify unless the home purchase was for your primary home. That eliminates any benefit to "Flippers".

"It would have been helpful if the reporters covering the debate could take a little time explaining these issues to readers." You hit a nerve with me. Any coverage of the matter will be superficial at best. Despite the huge increase in news outlets it is next to impossible to get real information. Without doing your own research one cannot really know the differences between the reps and the dems on the partriot act, torture, etc. This is another example. lj

So my neighbor and I could sell our houses to each other at >= $150k, and we each get $15k. Then we each rent our new homes back to each other. Then, next year, rinse-wash-repeat, if the program is renewed. If neither of us need financing, all we need in closing costs is to download a sales contract and record the transaction with the county. Sshhhh, don't tell Johnny Isakson that there won't be a real estate commission.
