The Million Dollar
Real Estate Tax Break
Everybody should know that under current tax law
you can sell your primary residence and any
capital
gain up to $250,000 ($500,000 if married) is tax
free.
Wow... is that powerful!... and why aren't more
investors taking advantage if that "loop hole"?
The only requirement is that you live in the
home
for 2 out of the last 5 years... and it is your
primary residence. That means you just must
live in the house 24 months to get the tax
savings.
What if you match that tax break with a FHA
203(k)
loan?
Your heart should begin beating faster if you
understand the 203(k). Look at the features
of this real estate loan...
FHA down payment (3%)
Flexible credit qualifying
Assumable loans
Finance up to 6 months of mortgage payments
Purchase or Refinance AND IMPROVE all in one
loan
Upfront mortgage insurance waived
Get it?... One single loan is used to pay for
the
purchase (or refinance) and the cost of
renovating
the home.
Cheap, easy money that not only gives you the
ability
to buy the home... but also the money to rehab
it...
all in one loan!... with no payments for 6
months!
The FHA 203(k) loan is available to borrowers of
all
income levels, but only to homeowners who plan
to occupy
the property, and for homes with one to four
units.
Types of 203K Loans:
30 or 15 year fixed rates
One year ARMS
Assumable to a qualified buyer, with no money
down
Eligible Properties:
Single family dwellings
Condominium
Townhouse
Mixed Use (Storefront)
1-4 Unit buildings- you can increase or decrease
the
number of units with this loan.
With some leg work you should be able to find
properties
that will allow you to bank $50-thousand to
$100-thousand
at the end of every two year period.
The two year holding period gives you time to do
the
rehab work.
