UPDATE:  HUD has withdrawn the program allowing a borrower to use the tax credit for down payment funds.

I have great news for all of you first time home buyerswaiting to save the money for the 3.5% down payment required for the FHA loan.  The government is going to allow your lender to use the $8,000 tax credit as a down payment for your new home. 

According to Shaun Donovan, secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the FHA's approved lenders are going to be allowed to use the tax credit by creating a short-term bridge loans thus allowing eligible first time home buyers to have access the tax credit money at the closing table.

So if you are in the market for a home, NOW is the time to get moving.  The $8,000 tax credit is not going to be here forever.

The Wave of the Future in Banking was quite a shock to me when I entered the new credit union in my area.  I walked in and filled out my deposit/withdrawal slip then I walked over to the information desk to ask, Where do I go now?  Look closely at the photo:

 There were no tellers to be found.  A small screen with a person was the only thing at the kiosk.  It was like something out of the Jetsons.  Of course, my daughter had no idea what I was talking about but none the less, it was strange.  The person on the screen said the credit union set up the lobby this way to protect the tellers from robberies.  I could see the point but what a shock to me.

Spirit of St. Louis Credit Union is locate in Eureka, Missouri.  Stop by and see where the future of banking is headed!
