Get on the Bus Tour: A Social on Wheels
Experience What’s Old, New, and What’s Happening in the Queen City. Join Staying Ahead, Carolina for its Second Annual “Get on the Bus” Tour of Charlotte, Saturday, June 13, 2:00 p.m—4:30 p.m.
This is no ordinary tour. We won’t drown you in historical facts. This tour will be a “social on wheels,” as you take in the rich culture the Queen City has to offer. You will meet new people, sample foods from great restaurants, visit some tucked away spots that you might not have considered, enjoy games, and meet our very own Queen Charlotte. You will know where to take friends and guests when you are looking to experience something unique in town. This is a different tour from last year that we trust you will truly enjoy. Appreciate how Charlotte is taking shape in some of the hot areas of town too.
Be sure to register ASAP. The tour is complimentary but a $25 deposit holds your seat. Please send check or money order payable to Delta Transportation to the attention of Sabrina Brown, Helen Adams Realty, 15235 John J. Delaney Dr., Charlotte, NC 28277.
Finally, please email sbrown@StayingAheadCarolina in advance of mailing checks. Deposits must be received by June 8. Delta Transportation will load all registered guests at the Lynx’s Scaleybark Station parking lot on South Blvd at 1:45 p.m. a.m. and depart 2:00 p.m. sharp. Hope to see you!!
TAX CREDIT CAN BE USED FOR DOWN PAYMENT
More and more housing activity is being generated by the recent policy that offers up to $8,000 tax credit for first time home buyers or those purchasing after renting for three or more years. I am seeing more people entering the market to hopefully take advantage of this offering in conjunction with historically low interest rates offered too. And for Charlotte, the opportunity to purchase in a buyer's market is indeed attractive for many.
Shaun Donovan, secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, recently said the Federal Housing Administration is going to permit its lenders to allow homebuyers to use the $8,000 tax credit as a down payment. The move will allow eligible homebuyers to access the funds immediately at the closing table. Be sure to share this with a friend or family member as the policy sunsets November 30 of this year. Happy to answer questions too.
