If you are an active member of our military, a member of an intelligence agency or a member of a foreign service, you still have time to receive the home buyers tax credit. In order to qualify, you would need at least 90 days overseas duty last year during the time period between Dec. 31, 2008 and May 1, 2010. Then you have till April 2011 to get a contract in writing. If a binding contract is entered into by that date, you will have until June 30, 2011, to close on the purchase. Hillsborough County is convenient to Mac Dill Air Force Base, but, Pasco, Hernando and Pinellas Counties have a lot to offer, such as skydiving, horse trails, motor cycle tracks, beautiful beaches and much more. I have members of my family in the military and I know how hard it is for them to get houses in a location that is convenient for them to get to the base, while still having activities for the family. It's a great time to buy because prices are still reasonable and mortgage rates are very low. Florida has plenty of great deals in real estate right now.
