Do I qualify as a first time homebuyer? Scenario

Posted on: 23rd Aug, 2009 04:25 pm
My divorce was final in 2007. Separated in late 2006. Early in 2006 I lived in a home that was owned by ex husband (husband at the time). I had no vested interest in the house, it remained his after the divorce. Am I a first time home buyer?
