IRS Resources Compliance & Enforcement Contact My Local Office e-file Forms and Publications Frequently Asked Questions News Taxpayer Advocacy Where To File Selling Your Home Tax Tip 2005-55, March 18, 2005 If you sold your main home, you may be able to exclude up to $250,000 of gain ($500,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly) from your federal tax return. This exclusion is allowed each time that you sell your main home, but generally no more frequently than once every two years. To be eligible for this exclusion, your home must have been owned by you and used as your main home for a period of at least two out of the five years prior to its sale. You also must not have excluded gain on another home sold during the two years before the current sale. If you and your spouse file a joint return for the year of the sale, you can exclude the gain if either of you qualify for the exclusion. But both of you would have to meet the use test to claim the $500,000 maximum amount. To exclude gain, a taxpayer must both own and use the home as a principal residence for two of the five years before the sale. The two years may consist of 24 full months or 730 days. Short absences, such as for a summer vacation, count as periods of use. Longer breaks, such as a one-year sabbatical, do not. If you do not meet the ownership and use tests, you may be allowed to exclude a reduced maximum amount of the gain realized on the sale of your home if you sold your home due to health, a change in place of employment, or certain unforeseen circumstances. Unforeseen circumstances include, for example, divorce or legal separation, natural or man-made disaster resulting in a casualty to your home, or an involuntary conversion of your home. If you can exclude all the gain from the sale of your home, you do not report any of that gain on your federal tax return. If you cannot exclude all the gain from the sale of your home, use Schedule D, Capital Gains or Losses, of the Form 1040 to report it.

It is, however, a cyclical market and one as subject to the laws of supply and demand as any other sector of the economy. Experts will advise that prospective investors should take pains to carefully research the local market and view the business as a medium to long term project. Viewed in that light, it remains a very solid bet and will continue as a popular option for a diverse cross-section of the population. This edition includes dozens of properties which should appeal to those motivated by high rental returns as well as those whose primary concern is capital growth. It also includes details of experienced agents who have made this sector a speciality. So if you're new to the market and need a reliable expert to lead you through the maze, if you're a seasoned player and know exactly what your looking for, or if you live overseas and need a professional all-in-one 'hands off' management service to take care of your portfolio this is the place to begin your search. Learning To Invest 20 Jul 2005 Thinking about investing in property but new to the business? Investment guru Simon Shinerock explains why it can pay to learn from the experts... Simon Shinerock More and more people these days are coming to the conclusion that the only way for them to have a chance of achieving financial security is to buy property. But is it better to leap in and learn through experience or should you attend one of the growing number of seminars on the subject? Simon Shinerock, the founder and Chief Executive of Choices Acquisitions , a very popular auction-buying service for investors, says more and more people are looking for reliable information and advice before they take the plunge. " Our regular estate agency business which started in 1989 manages over 1000 properties as well as dealing with millions of pounds of property sales and mortgages every month. " In addition, for the past four years, we have been providing auction information to potential investors, as well as sourcing investment and buy to let property from developers and agents for our clients. " Gradually it has become evident that many potential clients want more than information and advice, especially at the beginning - they want education. " In response to this need we have created a down to earth two hour seminar to introduce the novice investor to the business and to share with them some of the important lessons we have learned through our own experience." What You'll Learn The seminar business, can, of course, be an expensive route to take but Choices reckon they can teach the basics and introduce participants to their services for much less that the thousands some charge. " We are aware of two day seminars which are available at a cost of £2000 or more but we believe that what we provide for £50 is enough of a taster for most people and we have been very pleased with the positive feedback we have received, " says Simon. Seminars take place on a Saturday between 11.30 and 2.00pm at Choices modern Smallfield office near London Gatwick Airport. To book your place please call 01342 840000 or complete the email response form on their company information page Choices Acquisitions seminars, says Simon, will tell you about 1. The research we do 2. The evaluation and analysis techniques we have developed 3. Our contacts with developers and agents and how we have made them 4. How we find distress sales 5. A hot new area for property investment in the UK 6. How we can help you buy property below the market value Below are some case studies from Choices: Case Study - Buying at auction A client wanted to start a buy-to-let portfolio on a low cost basis, as they were tight on funding we identified Liverpool as a good area, we highlighted six properties at an upcoming auction all of which represented good value based on their likely selling prices (about 30 per cent above guide price and 20 per cent below market price). Our experience has shown that it is pointless going to auction with only one property in mind in these circumstances as the chance of failure is too high. We are able to arrange funding in principle from a short term lender should our client be unable to arrange a buy to let mortgage in time. At the auction we were able to secure the third lot on our list. The client needed to do some cosmetic work but the estimated return on their deposit and costs once let was 25%, on top of which the property had a market value of 15% more than cost. Incidentally at the same auction we were able to secure two more properties for other clients on a broadly similar basis. Case Study - Buying Off Plan We are constantly looking for Off Plan opportunities on behalf of many clients. Through a trade contact of ours we heard about a development which was coming to an end. The developer had seven flats remaining and was prepared to sell them at a 15 per cent discount to market value. After checking the local rental market and speaking to agent contacts we were able to place five of these properties with three clients all of whom were looking at long term rental and capital growth. Case Study - Overseas Property We heard of some excellent opportunities for high yield apartment hotel investments on Miami Beach. We went to Miami to check out the local market and were able to get in on the ground floor of a renovation of a boutique Art Deco Hotel right on South Beach. Based on the figures we were able to obtain this investment should return up to 40 per cent on deposit plus costs plus there is built in capital growth of 20 per cent based on current market values. Each unit is $395000 with a 20 per cent deposit required and guaranteed finance on the balance, the developer is guaranteeing the first year return following the renovation and the investor shares in 60 per cent of the nightly rental ($400 per night minimum 70 per cent occupancy). As a further bonus, the owner can stay in their hotel suite at any time for as long as they want. Case Study - Agency contacts Over 95% of all property sold in this country is sold through estate agents. It therefore makes sense for us to establish good relationships with agents in areas where we expect capital growth and good rental returns. We were approached by one of our contacts on the south coast in respect of a sea front property available through an offshore tax exile who wanted to sell without publicity. We were able to secure the property which comprised of several apartments on behalf of several clients. Some of the units are going to be let, some sold on and some used as holiday homes after renovation.

Foreclosure Property

Foreclosures Real Estate Website Directory [ Home ] [ Add a Website ] [ Modify a Website ] [ New ] [ Top Rated ] [ Email Updates ] [ Search ] Advanced search MAIN MENU TOP 100 SITES HOMES FOR SALE FOR REALTORS ADD YOUR WEBSITE JOIN THE TOP 100 LIST POST YOUR LISTINGS CONTACT SUPPORT ADVERTISING WEBMASTER Foreclosures Tips on buying a Foreclosure There are three types of foreclosure opportunities to look for. Pre-foreclosures, which are in the period before the foreclosure sale. Foreclosures, which exist when the property is taken back by the lender and sold at public sales. REOs, which exist when the lender ends up with the foreclosed property in it's own inventory after the public sale. How do I find the owners and borrowers? Pre-foreclosure Properties – You can approach the owner or borrower up until the time when the property actually is sold through foreclosure proceedings. If the owner or borrower isn’t living in the property, use one or more of these methods to hunt them down: * Don't be shy! KNOCK ON THE DOOR! - Simply be polite and see if you can gather information directly from the homeowner or renter. If you can get in the door you stand a much better chance of making an offer or finding out where the owner is. You are offering folks a way out of foreclosure -and possibly a more lenient approach than the bank might take to when they must vacate- if you buy the home. * By Mail – Send a letter to the owner/borrower at the property address or leave a letter for the owner/borrower at the property address (if you put it inside a mailbox, the USPS requires that you put a first-class stamp on it). In the letter, explain that you understand the property is going into foreclosure, and that you have some options so the owner/borrower can avoid credit problems, or possibly even retain ownership. * Use Public Records – If the owner/borrower doesn’t live in the property, check with the county courthouse. They’ll have the owner/borrower’s name on record. * Ask Neighbors – If the property is vacant, talk with neighbors to see if anyone knows how to reach the owner/borrower. Be sure to tell them you’ve got information to help the owner/borrower. * Open the Telephone Book – If you still can’t locate the owner/borrower, try calling people who have the same last name. You might happen upon a relative. Foreclosure Properties – You’ll find foreclosed properties at a public sales. The day, date, time and place is published in the newspaper. The usual location for foreclosure sales is at the county courthouse, and sometimes, they’re conducted on the courthouse steps. REOs – After the foreclosure proceedings, the lender may end up with the property if no one bids more than the lender’s bid, which is equal to the loan balance. At this point, the property is referred to as an REO or “real estate owned” (by the lender) property. REOs are great investment opportunities.
