$8,000 Fast Cash For First-Time Homebuyers

From CNNmoney.com

There is one big obstacle for many first-time house hunters looking to take advantage of the market: cash for a down payment.

As part of the stimulus package, Congress created a refundable first-time homebuyers tax credit in hopes of helping on-the-fence buyers to take the home-purchase plunge. But buyers couldn't collect the $8,000 credit until tax time, rather than at closing time when it's needed.
