I did the same thing, full market value, went through all the banks BS. No one has been able to explain to me why you cannot claim the credit for that reason. I can understand if it was gifted or inherited, but come on, we went through everything just the same! I dont understand why you cannot purchase from a relative.

Unfortunately, I just found out that I am being transferred out of the area in 2 months!! I will have to rent my house here and will be staying with friends in the new city.

I am really discouraged right about now for (our) government. I bought my home in 02/2008, and this has been our very first home, have not purchased one within 3 years. Do we even qualify??? Hence the word first time home buyers. You know.. talk about government. I am really discouraged right about now for (our) government.

Just another poorly run government program that is not fair to the people who deserve it. I just bought a house at full market value but because my parents were the ones selling it I cannot get the credit but my tax dollars go to people who can. Scumbags. Waht a complete joke.
