Has anybody here experienced this problem recently where the local government have given some relief for their area?

As Michael has mentioned, Round 2 is going smoother, but you are still dealing with government.

With cities getting millions of dollars from the government, I believe most will throw a good portion back to the first time buyer programs (so we hope).

In the great depression, there were tenant "strikes" and a lot of pressure on the government to stop evictions.Mike

Also if you don't have a Drivers license ( just saying) you can get a tx Id you needs basic information like birth certificate , government I'd even from another country that has you photo, this will be to lower your Real estate taxes Even if is seller financing, file form for free in the Dallas Central Apraisal, make shure you take with you your closing papers /purchase . 

The government can take your property in the blink of an eye.

Typically this involves the government sending the taxpayer a check for a portion or even all of the amount of the refundable tax credit.For example, if a qualified home buyer expected, notwithstanding the tax credit, federal income tax liability of $5,000 and had tax withholding of $4,000 for the year, then without the tax credit the taxpayer would owe the IRS $1,000 on April 15th.

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

You get job growth there when government gets out of their way.The problem with housing is self correcting once we realize it isn't the disease.

Being in the real estate sector, I like to stay informed about where the industry is headed, maybe I could help you with some questions regarding home inspections as well.
