Last February, President Barack Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 in order to help kick start the sluggish US housing market. One of the key components of the Act was the creation of the $8000 first time home buyer federal tax credit. “The $8000 federal tax credit is essentially a free gift from the federal government,” says Renner, www.BuyAustin.com broker and a first time home buyer specialist.

The first time home buyer federal tax credit has been received favorably by many consumers, real estate professionals, and home builders across the US. “The first time home buyer federal tax credit has been successful because there is always a positive economic ripple effect each time a home is purchased,” says Renner. In addition, “its success has been fueled by “pent up demand, low interest rates and lower home prices,” Renner continues.

The National Association of Realtors recently reported that 53% of today’s homebuyers are first timers due in part to the $8000 federal tax credit. “Homebuyers just need to realize that the tax gift is going away and that now is the time to take action,” Renner urges.

Renner warns home buyers who wish to take advantage of the $8000 federal tax credit to focus primarily on available housing inventory. Renner adds, “although there are great deals for buyers in the short sale market, foreclosures and with bank owned REO companies, they unfortunately cannot process the contracts quick enough to meet the deadline. Therefore, buyers should focus on builder inventory or resale homes that are owner occupied in order to close before the impending deadline.”

Great discounts. You may think of designer frames as very expensive items to take home. However, with online venues, you get the privilege to have a pair of eyeglasses at a discounted price. Some frames inside the company’s catalogue may need updating in the future in order to introduce other innovations in the market. Do not doubt the quality of these products though. Even if they are offered at a lower price, it does not mean you are getting a pair that is not as durable as the more expensive ones.

Raise questions. It is true that you may always ask for assistance when you buy through local stores. Well, you also get the same with online venues offering eyeglasses. The good thing is you need not get out of your homes just to be able to raise your queries. Simply visit the contact us page and send a message to the provider.

Seattle, WA, June 11, 2009 — Jack Hodges, from Duncanville Texas, was announced as the winner of the Fatherhood Foundation’s 2009 Father of the Year Award. Mr. Hodges was nominated by his family, and made it through to the final round which included 25 top nominees. He was nominated for his tireless work with his children and grandchildren, which his kids appreciated enough to warrant a nomination during the 2009 submission process in January. He was also nominated for his years of award winning civil service, which included thousands of volunteer hours with the First Baptist Church of Duncanville, “Citizens On Patrol”, the Katrina response effort, and more.

His fourth son, Brian Hodges, was pleased with the award. “After all the years of him giving his time, focus, and resources, we thought it was fantastic for him to win this award. The USFF (Fatherhood Foundation) recognizes what we recognize all year – that he is truly a father of the year.”

Mr. Hodges is being formally notified of this award next week, and will be invited to partake in the annual black tie banquet and awards ceremony which will be held in Seattle Washington in August. It is customary for the overall winner to accept their award in person, as well as give a keynote speech to the ceremony attendees.

Mr. Hodges was born in Houston, Texas in 1936, and was a stand-out engineering student at Texas A&M. He also trained with the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets, which launched a unique career with both the Army and Navy, where he rose to the Naval rank of Lieutenant Commander. His engineering career spanned several decades with LTV, Boeing, and Northrop, where he managed a number of high profile, top security, advanced aeronautical programs resulting in airplane technology that is still being used and studied today. He is a seasoned small-plane pilot, and was a former member of the AOPA. He once anchored a city champion softball team as the starting first-baseman, and is still active with golf, poker, and bridge. He is married to Carol Hodges of Duncanville, and the two enjoy traveling around the country to visit their geographically dispersed children. The Hodges’, as a family, also used to run
regular missions of mercy into impoverished areas of Mexico.

Interestingly, Mr. Hodges’ father Jesse “Elmer” Hodges lived a colorful life as well, having met Clyde of the notorious group “Bonnie and Clyde”. Elmer Hodges was also a former professional baseball pitcher, before settling down to focus on raising Jack.

“Once again we are proud to provide this valuable tool to our members and to all of our industry Association Partners.
