Real Estate Software Directory:FederalHomes.com Online Foreclosure Property Searches - Nationwide Merged Home Contents Introduction Category Index Software Index Company Index Get Listed Software Companies: To add your software to our directory, please click here . Real Estate Software Directory: Foreclosure FederalHomes.com Online Foreclosure Property Searches - Nationwide Merged Price: $19.95 Upgrade: Current version: 0.0 Year released: 2003 Year updated: 2003 Copies sold: 1,000 - 9,999 Documentation: • on-line help Computer operating systems: • Web based • Subscription Based Foreclosure Search Service Description: Where does the property information come from? The data contained in the FederalHomes.com Database comes directly from the lending institution that foreclosed the mortgage or trust deed relating to that property. We do not solicit real estate agents, brokers or Realtors for property listings. Property information sources include: banks, mortgage companies, insurance companies, credit unions, savings & loans, auction companies, asset management groups, consumer finance organizations, FDIC, SBA, GSA, HUD, VA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and various housing authorities. How is the listing information collected? FederalHomes.com is constantly receiving foreclosed property information from lender sources. The listing information is received manually and electronically. New properties are entered into the database and sold properties are removed. We do not maintain any foreclosure information reported more than 60 days ago. Almost every lender has different methods of reporting distressed property information. This is also true for government and state agencies and local housing authorities. Some report new information daily, some weekly, and some monthly. Are these properties available now? The properties listed in the FederalHomes.com database have been through the auction process and are owned by the foreclosing lender. These properties are now available directly from the lending institution and/or its marketing agent. Contact information for the lender and its agent, along with detailed property descriptions are available to members of FederalHomes.com. What types of properties are contained in the listings? Lenders foreclose mortgages and deeds to every type of real property imaginable. This includes: Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Land, even Golf Courses and Theme Parks. Property Types include: single family homes, town homes, condos, co-ops, multi-family units, rental & income properties, apartment buildings, offices, hotels, motels, retail, restaurant, mobile homes, vacant land, and more. What details are included with the listings? Some lenders report more detailed information about their property listings, some report less. We tell you everything the lender told us about the property, nothing is held back. Listing details include: state, county, city, address, asking price, listing agency, listing agency contact name, listing agency phone number, agent contact, agent phone number, property type, size/square footage, bedrooms/bathrooms, year built, number of acres, comments and more. How often is the database updated? Our database is updated every Monday (excepts holidays). The properties have been reported as "available" from the foreclosing lender within the last 60 days. How do I find the properties I want? All foreclosure listings in the FederalHomes.com database are organized by State, then County. Each County displays foreclosure listings by City, alphabetically. Single Family Residential listings are displayed first by City, with the newest bank owned properties listed first, followed by the newest government property listings. Multi-Family Units and Commercial listings are also displayed by City, alphabetically, and follow the Single Family Residential listings in each county. Commercial properties are sorted and displayed just like the Single Family Residential listings. What does "Resid" and "Resid Unit" mean? Sometimes the foreclosing lender doesn't tell us whether the property is a single family home, a town home, condo or co-op, but we do know that the property is a "Residential Unit," as compared to a Commercial, Industrial or Agricultural property. When we are certain the property is a "Residential Unit," we label the property, "Resid" or "Resid Unit." This can apply to Single Family and Multi-Family properties. How accurate is the database? Some lenders are less timely with their data, and thus less accurate in the reporting of their foreclosed property inventory. This is especially true for many government agencies. We estimate that 15%-20% of the database listings are under contract or sold at any given time. This produces and Availability Rate of 80%-85%, the highest and most accurate in the industry. As all of our information comes directly from the foreclosing lenders, we are solely reliant on their ability to deliver timely property listings and information. Are there any restrictions for Members of the database service? Your membership enables you to access the FederalHomes.com database 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with no restrictions on the number of times you access the listings or length of time spent on the web site. When you become a member of the FederalHomes.com database service, you agree not to disclose your Member I.D. Number to others. You also agree not to distribute the information contained in the FederalHomes.com database service to any person or organization, by any means, for any reason. + Federal Homes PO Box 62 Galway, NY 12074 Contact: Matthew Landry Telephone: 518-229-5784 Web address: www.federalhomes.com Year business started: 1995 Employees: 5 Note: Survey Methodology.

Real Estate Broker and

NYS DOS, Real Estate Professional Page NYS Department of State Division of Licensing Services F requently A sked Q uestions Applicants for Real Estate Broker and Salesperson Licensure Do I need to be licensed? Generally, Article 12-A of the Real Property Law provides that anyone who, on behalf of another and for a fee, 1) negotiates a sale, exchange or rental of real property, 2) collects rent, or 3) negotiates a commercial loan secured by a mortgage must be licensed as a real estate broker. What is the difference between a real estate broker and a real estate salesperson? A real estate broker is responsible for the supervision and conduct of the real estate brokerage business. He or she applies for and holds the license on behalf of the brokerage. This person is known as the "representative broker." A real estate salesperson works for and is supervised by the representative broker. The salesperson acts as the representative broker's agent. All listings, although perhaps negotiated by a salesperson, are accepted by the representative broker. How do I become a real estate salesperson or broker? In order to qualify for licensure as a real estate salesperson, an applicant must have satisfactorily completed a 45 hour salesperson qualifying education course in real estate approved by the Secretary of State, and have passed a qualifying examination administered by the Department. In order to qualify for licensure as a real estate broker, an applicant must have at least one year of experience as a licensed real estate salesperson or at least two years of experience in the general real estate field (e.g., buying and selling your own property, managing property owned by your employer), have satisfactorily completed both the qualifying salesperson course of 45 hours and an additional 45 hour real estate broker course as approved by the Secretary of State, and have passed a qualifying examination administered by the Department. Who licenses mortgage brokers? Anyone who negotiates or attempts to negotiate any mortgage loan other than a mortgage loan on residential property, in the state of New York, is required to be licensed as real estate broker, or as a salesperson associated with a real estate broker. This license is issued by the NYS Department of State. To negotiate a mortgage loan on residential property (one to four family building) registration with the New York State Banking Department is required. If I am a real estate management company, do I need a real estate broker's license? That depends on what services you provide. If you collect rent or place tenants in vacant spaces on behalf of your landlord client, the answer is yes. If, on the other hand, your services are strictly maintenance, the answer is no. you are not acting as a fiduciary (not handling another person's money). Whom do I call if I am not sure whether I completed my 22.5 hours of continuing education during my license term? Contact the school(s) you attended. Schools are required by law to maintain course completion records for three years. You may request duplicate certificates from the school(s) in the event you are audited. In order to renew my salesperson license, I completed the 45-hour broker qualifying course. Can I apply the extra 22.5 hours to my next license term? No. The law clearly states that continuing education must be completed within each license term. I could not complete the continuing education, but I wish to renew my license anyway. Can I apply for an extension? Please refer to §177.6 in the real estate law booklet. Extensions will only be granted in bona fide hardship cases. You must submit the following, preferably prior to your license expiration: a written request for the extension, completed renewal form, fee, and original documentation demonstrating your hardship; i.e. , medical documentation. I think I might be exempt, but I am not sure when I originally became licensed. Can you tell me when I was first licensed? No. The Department of State only maintains seven years of real estate records. You may possibly determine your original date of licensure if you know when you completed the salesperson course and how long it took you after completing the course to apply for your license. What happens if I do not complete my continuing education and don't renew my license? If you do not renew your license, you cannot conduct any real estate activities that require a New York State real estate license in accordance with Article 12-A of the Real Property Law. There are no grace periods that allow you to continue working while not licensed. You have two years from the date your license expires to renew your license. If you fail to renew within that period, you will be required to pass the state written examination. No continuing education will be required to repeat the licensing process again. When you submit your new salesperson application, you must include the following: your new examination results, application fee, and a copy of your expired license/pocket card or ORIGINAL proof of completing the salesperson course. If possible, it is better to submit original proof of your salesperson course. If you do not have an original certificate, then call the school where you took the course to request another certificate. If you are applying for your broker's license, you must submit ORIGINAL proof of your 45-hour salesperson course and 45-hour broker course, or a copy of your expired broker's license. How do I obtain a waiver from the 45-hour salesperson or 90-hour broker course requirement? You must submit a written request stating the waiver you are applying for along with ORIGINAL proof of course completion, a detailed outline listing topics and hours, and a course description. We only review prelicensing courses from other states that were completed in a classroom setting. (No home-study/correspondence courses.) The prelicensing salesperson's course must be at least 45 hours of classroom instruction and the broker's course, 90 hours. In addition, if you have graduated with a Master's Degree with a concentration in real estate, you may qualify for a 90-hour waiver of the qualifying courses. Please submit an official transcript with your waiver request. If you are granted a waiver, you will receive the waiver letter, the license application, real estate law booklet, and examination schedules. When you are ready to apply for your license, please submit the ORIGINAL waiver letter with your application, fee, passed examination results, and any other required documents. I have been a real estate licensee for many years. Am I exempt from the continuing education requirements? Article 12A statutorily requires all real estate brokers and salespeople to complete 22½ hours of Department of State approved education within their two-year license period prior to the date of expiration. The law does provide for an exemption from this requirement for a real estate broker who has 15 consecutive years of combined licensure as a salesperson and a broker and who is actively engaged in the real estate business as a real estate broker at the time of renewal, or an admitted NYS attorney. Where do I get more detailed information? You may access pertinent law and regulations, applications and exam schedules from this website. You may also request this or other information by calling a Division of Licensing Services customer service representative at (518) 474-4429 or by writing to: New York State Department of State Division of Licensing Services 84 Holland Avenue Albany, New York 12208-3490 [ NYS Department of State Home Page ] [ Licensing Services Menu ] [ Real Estate Professionals Page ]

Rental Property (Including Rental

Tax Topics - Topic 415 Renting Residential and Vacation Property (formerly Renting Vacation Property and Renting to Relatives) Home | Contact IRS | About IRS | Site Map | Español | Help Advanced Search Search Tips IRS Resources Compliance & Enforcement Contact My Local Office e-file Forms and Publications Frequently Asked Questions News Taxpayer Advocacy Where To File Topic 415 - Renting Residential and Vacation Property (formerly Renting Vacation Property and Renting to Relatives) If you receive rental income from renting to others a dwelling unit, such as a house or an apartment, you may deduct certain expenses. These expenses, which may include interest, taxes, casualty losses, maintenance, utilities, insurance, and depreciation, will reduce the amount of rental income that is taxed. You will generally report such income and expenses on Form 1040 (PDF) and Schedule E . If you are renting to make a profit and do not use the dwelling unit as a home, your deductible rental expenses can be more than your gross rental income, subject to certain limits. Your rental losses, however, may be limited by the "at-risk" rules and the passive activity loss rules. For information on these limits, refer to Publication 925 , Passive Activities and At-Risk Rules . However, if you rent a dwelling unit that you also use as a home, your deductible rental expenses will be limited. You are considered to use a dwelling unit as a home if you use it for personal purposes during the tax year for more than the greater of: 14 days or 10% of the total days it is rented to others at a fair rental price. It is possible that you will use more than one dwelling unit as a home during the year. For example, if you live in your main home for 11 months, your home is a dwelling unit used as a home. If you live in your vacation home for the other 30 days of the year, your vacation home is also a dwelling unit used as a home unless you rent your vacation home to others at a fair rental value for 300 or more days during the year. A day of personal use of a dwelling unit is any day that it is used by: You or any other person who has an interest in it, unless you rent your interest to another owner as his or her main home under a shared equity financing agreement; A member of your family or of a family of any other person who has an interest in it, unless the family member uses it as his or her main home and pays a fair rental price; Anyone under an agreement that lets you use some other dwelling unit; or Anyone at less than fair rental price. If you use the dwelling unit for both rental and personal purposes, you generally must divide your total expenses between the rental use and the personal use based on the number of days used for each purpose. However, you will not be able to deduct your rental expense in excess of your gross rental income. If you itemize your deductions on Form 1040, Schedule A (PDF), you may still be able to deduct mortgage interest, property taxes, and casualty losses on that schedule. There is a special rule if you use a dwelling as a home and rent it for fewer than 15 days. In this case, do not report any of the rental income and do not deduct any expenses as rental expenses. Another special rule applies if you rent part of your home to your employer and provide services for your employer in that rented space. In this case, report the rental income, but do not deduct any expenses as rental expenses. Refer to Publication 527 , Residential Rental Property (Including Rental of Vacation Homes).
