So they do very little for residential housing. <br /><br />They are transferable - but few corporations are interested in purchasing them if they amount to less than $30,000 and if purchased they will only bring a fraction of their face value. <br /><br />So Historic Tax Credits, while great for huge commercial properties; are pretty much useless for the average older home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382985764534737174.post-50407365577821081972011-01-10T00:42:23.232-06:002011-01-10T00:42:23.232-06:00Yeah, this is dry stuff.
