<p>Imagine this&#8230;.. you fell behind on your mortgage and you are going to have to move out of the home you spent your hard earned money building to your satisfaction.  Out of anger you do some things to this home to express your frustration of the situation you are now in.  Broken windows, damaged walls, and you decide on your way out you are going to put a nice little hammer to the A/C unit.<br />
Unfortunately, this consumer&#8217;s damaged house needs to be then put up for sale by the bank for some other consumer to purchase.  Who is going to want to purchase a home that requires so many repairs before even moving in?  Fortunately, someone else&#8217;s &#8220;garbage&#8221; is another person&#8217;s treasures.  With a great deal on the home, that home sells to a new consumer who sees so much potential with this damaged foreclosed home.  The new homeowner also did their homework and found out with the Obama Plan, there are tax credits available to homeowners for things such as windows, HVAC, and a few other home improvements.  In an effort to help consumers who are willing to purchase these damaged foreclosure homes, and for those that have to stay in their home and can not sell, the Federal Government rolled out some great <a href="http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=products.pr_tax_credits#s1">tax credits</a> for 2009 and 2010.  The tax credits available are up to 30% of the cost of the designated repairs up to $1,500.  There have been tax credits available to consumers in previous years, however to this level they have never been available.<br />
Leadpile Lead Exchange works with the home improvement vertical and thinks maybe assistance like this, will only help with the demand for this lead type.  Leadpile is currently looking for publishers that can potentially bring in this lead type so we can connect homeowners wanting to take advantage of these credits, with the advertisers that want to provide the services. </p>
