"First-time homebuyers will now have access to quick cash to help them with their down payments.
On Friday, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced that first-time homebuyers using FHA-approved lenders can now get an advance on the $8,000 tax credit created by the stimulus package and apply it toward their down payments or closing costs.
'We believe this is a real win for everyone,' said HUD secretary Shaun Donovan in a speech before the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB).
