Thanks to the recent Real Estate Bailout first-time homebuyers, or those who have not owned in the last three years, can receive up to an $8,000 tax credit. This is fantastic news, especially for those looking to buy a house soon like me! I was so pleased to find out about this.

Here is a video that I found on YouTube about it:

This is helpful in so many ways. Often times new homebuyers have many things that they need to fix or improve in a new home. There are not that many “turnkey” properties out there really. An extra $8000 to help out with mortgage payments is another possible use for the tax credit.

Many first time home buyers struggle with their bills. I think that the idea here is that it will help people not fall into foreclosure.

Some important notes are that this program is currently only good up to April 30th 2010. Although there is speculation that this program could be extended as part of an over all economic stimulus initiative. You can close by June 30th 2010 at the latest and still qualify for this as long as a written binding contract to purchase is in place by the April deadline.

It is important to book your moving services well ahead to secure your ideal moving date.

Important documents and possessions, such as wills, deeds, jewelry, photographs and home videos are impossible to replace. It’s wise to consider moving these and other important belongings to a safety deposit box while you move.

Remember to contact your local post office and fill-out forwarding address forms. Additionally, leaving a small welcome card with your forwarding address for the people moving into your old home is a nice way of asking for any additional pieces of your mail to be redirected.

Do not have your phone disconnected until after loading day.

DON’T polish your furniture! This makes the furniture slippery for the movers or yourself, also when we wrap pads around the furniture it can leave marks on the furniture where the pad was placed, do to buildup of cleaning residue!

Reserve ample parking for the truck. If parking is to be on a city street, it is your obligation to tell the movers of any meters that need to be capped by the city. In the winter, be sure to have the parking area and walkways clear of snow and ice.

Prepare an “Unload First” carton with essentials that you’ll need immediately at your new home (Essential Items). Include a bag filled with hardware from disassembled items, such as dresser mirrors and beds. Good Moving Companies Los Angele will recognize this and take extra care.

Try to keep boxes to 50 pounds or less and always lift with your legs. Tape the bottom of all boxes to make certain they will hold your belongings.

Pack books flat, not standing on end (which may cause damage to the spines). Books are extremely heavy, so don’t pack too many in one box.

Items that can’t be moved with us include: flammable items, combustible items, aerosol cans, hazardous materials (Items that are flammable, corrosive or explosive)
