Is a Co-Op shareholder a homeowner?

That would be nice, wouldn't it? But, unfortunately, no. Your co-op is considered a 'home' (for example, as a co-op owner you've probably received the STAR exemption, right?).

i suppose i did.

If you could afford a co-op you probably are over the $75,000 income limit...

No one in NY is cashing that $8000 tax credit because of the income restraints....since banks are requiring those income levels to receive mortgages...

Just another example of the new Washington doing whatever it can to fuck New Yorkers.

i didn't know the income limit. honestly, i don't know any of the details. someone asked me if i qualified because of the "shares" thing so i figured i would find out. thanks for the help.
