The system is simple and, thus far, largely unavoidable. When a user attempts to make a post, Craigslist asks for verification with a viable phone number. It then automatically calls the number and issues a verification code which must be re-entered for the post to go live.
For the purposes of the IRA distributions, a first-time home buyer is anyone who hasn't owned a present interest in a main home for the previous two years. For example, if your parents have promised to leave you their home in their will, that isn't a present interest in the home, so you still qualify.
First-time home buyers at seven-year high. The number of first-time buyers climbing on to the property ladder rose by more than a fifth last year to a seven-year high. A Halifax review said the number of buyers joining the UK property market for the first time jumped by 22% to 326,500 in 2014, which follows a 23% increase the previous year. The average cost of a home bought by a first-time buyer rose 9% to Â£171,870 compared with a year ago. However, the average cost of a deposit for this type of buyer fell 7% over the same period to Â£29,218.
