Happy 2011!  With the start of the New Year, it's never too early to begin thinking about tax season.  As you know, buying a home can be a huge tax advantage, so I want to be sure that as a new homeowner you know you may be eligible for a Homestead Exemption. Georgia allows homeowners to claim a Homestead Exemption as a tax benefit that could amount to considerable annual savings.  To qualify for the property tax exemption the Homeowner must occupy the residence on January 1st and file for Homestead Exemption at the county Court House or Tax Commissioner's Office in person, by mail or on the web, depending on the county in which you reside.  Filing deadlines and requirements vary by county.

Atlanta Foreclosures - Loft Foreclosures - Townhome Foreclosures With the first-time homebuyer tax credit deadline having come and gone, you may be asking yourself, "What now?" Fortunately, the door is now open to a new wave of savings: distressed properties. For many buyers, the term foreclosure brings up images of run-down homes with no heat and rotting wood.
