Southland Log Home buyers looking to realize their dreams of log home living, may be eligible for a fully refundable federal tax credit of up to $8,000.
Irmo, SC (Vocus) -- Southland Log Home buyers looking to realize their dreams of log home living, may be eligible for a fully refundable federal tax credit of up to $8,000.
A new law enacted last week expands the federal tax credit to move up homebuyers on purchases of qualifying new homes completed before July 1, 2010. In addition to this expansion, the program has been modified to extend the allowed time for first-time homebuyers and military personnel. Home buyers are eligible for a fully refundable federal tax credit of up to $6,500 on the purchase of a new residence, if they have owned and lived in their home for at least five consecutive years out of the last eight. First-time homebuyers are eligible for a credit of up to $8,000.
“The expansion and extension of the federal tax credit program creates a tremendous opportunity for our log home customers,” said Mike Bertram, executive vice president of Southland Log Homes. “As the provider of America’s Favorite Log HomeTM, we are ready to help buyers realize the unique joys of living in a log home.”
