$8,000 for 1st time homebuyers

[Guevara M.]

I thought that I would qualify for this since I am buying my primary house this year but found out that I don't. I bought a small townhome about 5 years ago & since it's in my name they said that I won't get the $8000.00. I have never lived in it. I only lease it out. I thought that since it's not my primary home that I would still qualify, but I was wrong. Does this sound right? I have heard mixed things.
