    the $8000 first time home buyer is a tax credit with the IRS
    you will need to file a form 5405 with your 1040 return and the house must be your residence, must be purchased prior to Dec. 31, 2009 and the $8000 is merely a loan, it will be repaid within 15 yrs to IRS

    It’s a tax credit.
    You buy a home and you file a tax return or amended tax return and get the money from the government. You still need a down payment. No more 0% down loans–which are a horrible idea, anyway. There are only 10 states where you can get a bridge loan and use this money at closing, but you still need the down payment.

    There is no program for advance payment that was nixed month ago in Congress the feeling being that the purchaser should have some investment in the property to help prevent foreclosures or walk aways

    Only a hand-full of states and lenders participate in the “bridge loan” advancement of the first time tax credit. I don’t believe Florida is one of them. Check with your local lenders.

    EDIT: Yes there is such a program…BUT not all states have agreed to this and very few lenders are offering it.
