First Time Buyer Credit and Seller Credit information

Mike Liess (Remax First) — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 12:06:04 -0600

If you are thinking of buying or selling, you will want to take advantage of this year's fall-holiday real estate market - and I can help!

Changes to the economic stimulus package have been approved!

The $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit deadline has been extended to April 30, 2010 (a firm contract must be in place with closing NO LATER than June 30, 2010) and the program now expands to offer a credit of $6,500 to homeowners who have lived in their current home for at least five years and are seeking to relocate. This means Rochester area buyers will be looking to take advantage of both tax credits before deadline and listing inventory will be plentiful with serioussellers wanting to capture those active buyers.

More details about the econonomic stimulus package changes:

Who is Eligible

- First-time homebuyers, who are defined by the law as buyers who have not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase, may be eligible for up to an $8,000 tax credit.

- Existing homeowners who have been residing in their principal residence for five consecutive years out of the last eight and are purchasing a home to be their principal residence may be eligible for up to a $6,500 tax credit.

- All U.S. citizens who file taxes are eligible to participate in the program.

Income Limits

Homebuyers who file as single or head-of-household taxpayers can claim the full credit ($8,000 for first-time buyers and $6,500 for repeat buyers) if their modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is less than $125,000.

- For married couples filing a joint return, the combined income limit is $225,000.

- Single or head-of-household taxpayers who earn between $125,000 and $145,000, and married couples who earn between $225,000 and $245,000 are eligible to receive a partial credit.

Types of Homes that Qualify

- All homes with a purchase price of less than $800,000 qualify, including newly-constructed or resale, and single-family detached, townhomes or condominiums, provided that the home will be used as their principal residence.

Tax Credit is Refundable

-A refundable credit means that if the amount of income taxes you owe is less than the credit amount you qualify for, the government will send you a check for the difference.

Why Use a REALTOR® When Buying a Home?

Mike Liess (Remax First) — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 00:06:30 -0500

Why Use a REALTOR® When Buying a Home?

A real estate agent can help you understand everything you need to know about the home buying process.

Not all real estate licensees are the same; only those who are members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS^® are properly called REALTORS^®. They proudly display the REALTOR " ^®" trademark on their business cards and other marketing and sales literature.

REALTORS^® are committed to treat all parties to a transaction honestly. REALTORS^® subscribe to a strict Code of Ethics and are expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real estate. An independent survey reported that 84% of home buyers would use the same REALTOR^® again.

Real estate transactions involve one of the biggest financial investments of most people's lifetime. Transactions today usually exceed $250,000. If you had a $250,000 income tax problem, would you attempt to deal with it without the help of a certified professional accountant? If you had a $250,000 legal question, would you deal with it without the help of an attorney? Considering the small upside cost and the large downside risk, it would be wise to work with a professional REALTOR^® when you are buying a home.

If you're still not convinced of the value of a REALTOR^®, here are more reasons to use one:

Your REALTOR^® can help you determine your buying power - that is, your financial reserves plus your borrowing capacity. If you give a REALTOR^® some basic information about your available savings, income and current debt, he or she can refer you to lenders best qualified to help you. Most lenders - banks and mortgage companies - offer limited choices.
Your REALTOR^® has many resources to assist you in your home search. Sometimes the property you are seeking is available but not actively advertised in the market, and it will take some investigation by your agent to find all available properties.
Your REALTOR^® can assist you in the selection process by providing objective information about each property. Agents who are REALTORS^® have access to a variety of informational resources. REALTORS^® can provide local community information on utilities, zoning, schools, etc. There are two things you'll want to know: First, will the property provide the environment I want for a home or investment? Second, will the property have resale value when I am ready to sell?
Your REALTOR^® can help you with negotiations and inspections. There are many negotiating factors, including but not limited to price, financing, terms, date of possession and often the inclusion or exclusion of repairs and furnishings or appliances. The purchase agreement should allow time for you to complete appropriate inspections and investigations of the property before you are bound to complete the purchase. Your agent can advise you as to which investigations and inspections are recommended or required.
Your REALTOR^® provides due diligence during the property evaluation. Depending on the area and property, this could include inspections for termites, dry rot, asbestos, faulty structure, roof condition, septic tank and well tests, just to name a few. Your REALTOR^® can assist you in finding qualified responsible professionals to do most of these investigations and provide you with written reports.
You will also want to see a preliminary report on the property title. Title indicates ownership of property and can be mired in confusing status of past owners or rights of access. The title to most properties will have some limitations; for example, easements (access rights) for utilities. Your REALTOR^®, title search company or attorney can help you resolve issues that might cause problems at a later date.
Your REALTOR^® can help you understand different financing options and identify qualified lenders.
Your REALTOR^® can guide you through the closing process and make sure everything flows together smoothly.

New York State's Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program

Mike Liess (Remax First) — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 22:14:39 -0500

New York State's Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program is an alternative way for SONYMA to assist first-time homebuyers. With an MCC, 20% of your annual mortgage interest can be converted into a tax credit and deducted dollar for dollar from your Federal income tax liability. The remaining 80% of mortgage interest continues to qualify as an itemized tax deduction. The credit can be taken to reduce your tax burden every year for the life of the mortgage loan as long as you continue to live in the home. The feasibility of the MCC and the degree to which it can provide housing assistance is totally dependent upon the extent to which you have a Federal tax liability, which can be offset by the MCC tax credit.

For details, click here to read our term sheet for the program.

The benefits of an MCC to a first-time homebuyer can be significant. For example, for a mortgage of $200,000 with an interest rate of 5.5%, the mortgage interest paid in the first year is $10,933. With an MCC, 20% of interest, $2,186, can be converted to a direct tax credit, a savings of $182 per month. Note that the MCC amount will decrease slightly each year as the amount of interest paid decreases. To calculate your potential savings with an MCC, click here.

Federal law prohibits SONYMA from combining MCCs with its own mortgages. However, MCCs can be used with other fixed-rate mortgages that lenders offer, such as:

Conventional loans (Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac);
FHA-insured loans;
VA-guaranteed loans; or
Other fixed-rate products.

To take advantage of this program, you must file IRS Form 8396 with your Federal tax return for each year.

Mortgagor(s) receiving an MCC can also take advantage of the $8,000 Federal tax credit - which is available for loans closed by November 30, 2009.

All SONYMA Mortgage Credit Certificate Program participants must meet certain Household Income and Purchase Price limits.

SONYMA's Purchase Price Limits.
SONYMA's Household Income Limits.
Learn about special incentives in Target Areas.

How Do I Apply?

To apply for the Mortgage Credit Certificate program you must:

Contact one of our MCC Participating Lenders; and
Apply for a Mortgage Credit Certificate at the same time you apply for a mortgage from one of our MCC participating lenders listed above.
If you are approved for an MCC, you can take a dollar-for-dollar tax credit equal to 20% of your annual mortgage interest costs when you file your Federal income tax return.
The remaining 80% in annual mortgage interest costs remains tax deductible.

All SONYMA Mortgage Credit Certificate Program participants are subject to the Federal Recapture Tax.

The Commercial Real Estate Outlook

Mike Liess (Remax First) — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 07:59:40 -0500

The Commercial Real Estate Outlook (CREO) from the NAR Research Division provides current statistics, forecasts and insights on market factors that influence office, industrial, retail, and multi-family real estate.

For the 3rd Quarter 2009 report, please visit:

http://www.realtor.org/research/research/commercialhome

Distressed properties reflect struggling market fundamentals

Commercial real estate closed the first half of the year with weakened fundamentals and a slow pace of transactions amid difficult economic conditions. Demand for commercial properties dropped precipitously, bringing down prices and rents. In addition, maturing commercial debt was met with little available credit, leading to a jump in delinquencies and distressed properties. As space flooded the market, vacancy rates have been rising across the board. And while the economic decline is showing signs of a slowdown, commercial real estate continues to face strong headwinds.

NAR FORECAST: Commercial real estate will continue to face negative absorption, increasing vacancies for all property types and declining rents. Commercial debt continues to pose a major threat. Extension of TALF funds for commercial lending should provide liquidity, particularly in the CMBS market. Investments may rise due to distressed properties and lower prices.
Additional analysis of fundamentals along with current investment trends will be posted in the following weeks. The reports will be available to all members at:

Investing in Rochester NY - Can you really make money and cash flow?

Mike Liess (Remax First) — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 10:37:06 -0600

As a Realtor here in Rochester I get weekly calls from investors all over the world, asking can you really cash flow properties in Rochester NY. Most investors think it is too good to be true.

The answer to this questions is YES, you can really cash flow and make $ here in Rochester. That being said be careful!!!

Any investor/ Realtor can find properties for $5,000 - $20,000here in Rochester. But what are you really buying?? Are real estate values really that low? Yes they can be but you can also find single family homes and multi family homes here in Rochester for over $200,000 and even over $300,000. So again it doesn't take long to figure out what types of housing your looking at.

I must be careful because as a licensed real estate person I can not steer people in and out of specific locations, and there are advantages to being in High priced areas as well as advantages to Low priced areas. If you are looking for cash flow in a high priced "Trendy" area it is very difficult to find high cash flowing properties. Where as a low priced property, the cash flow upside can be tremendous, but finding paying tenants and keeping repair costs down can at times be a challenge.

There are a few very important elements to investing in an area.

1. Know the neighborhood you are in vesting in.

2. Find an agent / Realtor that will be very candid with you

3. Have Property management - whether it is yourself or a professional manger

4. I believe strongly in this --- Visit the area you are investing in!!
