get rid of the 2008 housing stimulus that has to be paid back,and be able to refianance after bankrupcy.

Created by T.D. on October 26, 2011

The 2008 housing stimulus has to be paid back every year at $500 out of your tax return if you bought your house on or before 12/31/2008. If you close any day after that you dont have to pay it back. So we should'nt get punished for buying a house in 2008. And if you file bankrupcy and keep your home you should be able to refinance at a lower rate to keep your home affordable. Right now you have to wait two years. That does no good when you need to save money now.
