Taxes and Your New Scottsdale Home by Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team

July 18, 2011 szabogroup

If you’re a homeowner, there are many tax loopholes that can help your home make money for you: If you’ve lived in your home for two years, you can take a tax-free gain of $250K for a single filer and $500K for married (filing jointly). You just have to have used the property as your principal residence for two of the past five years. You can even rent your house out for most of that period and still qualify for the full gain! If you’ve lived in your home for less than two years, you can still take a “reduced exclusion amount” (pro-rated from the full amount according to how long you’ve lived there) if you’re “forced” to move because of “unforeseen circumstances” – which can simply mean that you’ve started (or ended) a home-based business. If you’ve lived in your home more than two years, you can always re-finance it to remove the value. Of course, this assumes that there is significant value in your home with the current market conditions. If the current market interest rates are higher than your existing loan, for instance, get a home equity loan instead. A general rule of thumb is once your gain approaches $250K if you’re single (or $500K if married), it’s time to move. If you decide to rent out a room in your house, you’ve created a home business from which you can deduct relevant expenses against the rental income, as well as the depreciation of the space. And when you sell the house, you can exclude the gain on the pro-rated portion. If your income grows so high that you begin to lose itemized deductions, you can always move the mortgage interest deduction off Schedule A by using the home office deduction, which allows you to deduct a pro-rated portion of the mortgage interest and property tax on a separate schedule. If you wish to take out a home equity loan that’s fully deductible, simply demonstrate that the additional debt above the amount allowable was used for business or investment purposes – such as buying in to an apartment building.

Basics of Land use Law by Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team?

July 14, 2011 szabogroup

By Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team If you wish to make money in real estate, it’s essential to understand at least the basics of land use law. This will not only make you communicate with lawyers more effectively, but will help you become a more active participant in your own land use matters. There are four basic sources of law: 1) Common Law: This is the law found in judicial decisions – case law. It’s important because it can create binding precedents. 2) Constitutional Law: There are 51 constitutions in theU.S.: one Federal and fifty states. What may be constitutional federally may be unconstitutional in your state. Here are a few basic constitutional principles that are important to know: a) Due process – this means you have a right to a fair hearing; you can confront witnesses and evidence. The judges must also be unbiased and objective. Finally, government regulations must be reasonably related to a specific purpose of government. b) Equal protection – if different properties are treated differently, there must be a reasonable purpose, such as a requirement that homes in a flood plain be elevated. c) Takings – the Fifth Amendment says that the government can’t take private property for public use without paying just compensation. If the taking is non-invasive and the loss in value only partial, however, courts usually don’t demand compensation. d) Freedom of expression and religion – government can regulate the placement of signs and establishments (for aesthetic reasons), but rarely their content (unless there’s a compelling reason). Likewise, people can’t be prevented from using their homes for religious purposes. 3) Statutory Law: all state zoning statutes are descended from a model law that the Federal government promulgated over 80 years ago. If you carefully study your state enabling statutes (and their amendments) you may pick up an important clue or two about how these laws can be used to your advantage. 4) Administrative Law: though often tedious, it’s important to know the administrative regulations that enforce statutes, common law, and constitutional law. These can be used as effective weapons in a struggle to support or oppose any development project. If you don’t like a law, change it. People do it all the time. It can be a long, expensive, and risky process, but it may also be worth it. Take the time to figure out whether it’s the right choice for you.

Why Do you Need Title Insurance by Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team

July 11, 2011 szabogroup

Joe Szabo Scottsdale Homes for Sale

By Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team This is one of the most common questions I have heard in my career just after “what is title insurance?” The answer is simple. How do you prove that a seller actually owns the home he or she is trying to sell? You conduct a title search, in which a chain of ownership from the time the home was built until the present is established. Title searches vary from place-to-place, but they’re generally done manually, by lawyers, title companies, or other title specialists, because historical real estate documents are rarely recorded on computers. A title search is necessary because the lender needs to know whether there have been any liens, judgments, or easements filed against the property, which might prevent you from being granted a good title. Title insurance helps protect the buyer from possible “defects” on the title. If any of the documents that establish the title are mistaken or omitted, for instance, and it turns out that the property is less valuable than originally appraised, the title insurer will reimburse them for lost value. If the insurer notes a defect before the sale, however, the buyer is responsible for contacting the seller and correcting it. Title insurance is paid as a one-time premium; the cost is based entirely on the sales price of the home. In most cases, the seller pays for the title search so he or she can guarantee that the buyer gets a good title. The lender, meanwhile, will want the buyer to pay for the title insurance to cover the lender. It’s not strictly necessary for the buyer to cover him or herself, but it’s usually a good idea. If you buy both the lender’s and buyer’s title insurance together, you might get a discounted rate. If you’re working with a real estate attorney, they can also often obtain discounted rates if they work regularly with a title company. Finally, if the seller has only owned the home for a short period of time, the seller’s original title company may be willing to issue the buyer a discounted “reissue” rate.

Advantages of 1031 Exchanges by Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team

July 7, 2011 szabogroup

Joe Szabo Scottsdale Homes for Sale

By Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team The most important advantage of a 1031 exchange is that you can defer all capital gains indefinitely. No limit is placed on the number of such exchanges in your lifetime. An investor can easily start out with a small rental property and regularly “1031 exchange” it for larger properties, eventually leading to a substantial retirement income. As long as you never sell an investment property without exchanging it for another, you’ll never have to pay taxes on your real estate capital during your lifetime. When you die, your heirs may even be entitled to receive a stepped-up basis on your investment property and escape paying taxes on the capital gains you deferred throughout your life. Another popular advantage of a 1031 exchange is trading up. There are two types: 1) Buying a bigger property or increasing the overall amount of your real estate investment. 2) Buying a higher-quality property. Leveraging is another way to take advantage of a 1031 exchange. It’s simply the idea of putting as little of your own money as possible down on a property, and maximizing the financing. It’s a strategy that works great in an up market, but can be disastrous in a down: if the property is too highly leveraged, the rental income will never support the debt. It’s also possible to use a 1031 exchange to buy a larger or more valuable property for the additional depreciation. The adjusted basis of the relinquished property, however, will transfer to the replacement property. That means the replacement property only provides additional depreciation for the amount of value beyond the market value of the relinquished property. 1031 exchanges can simply be used to lighten one’s workload. If you own a high-maintenance property with lots of turnover, you may prefer to exchange it for something with lower turnover and maintenance requirements. If necessary, you can always use a 1031 exchange to relocate an investment nearer to you. This can come in handy if you’re forced to move for any reason (but it only works for property inside theU.S.). 1031 exchanges are also known as “like-kind exchanges” because you have the option of using them for more than just real estate. You can exchange many business and investment capital assets for like-kind property, such as aircraft, boats, trucks or even livestock – the only catch is that they always have to be traded for the exact same kind of property. Real estate can be exchanged for just about any other kind of real estate – as long as it’s used for business. A primary residence, a vacation home, or a second home, for instance, can’t be used in a 1031 exchange.

How to Avoid Potential 1031 Exchange Problems by Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team

July 4, 2011 szabogroup

Joe Szabo Scottsdale Homes for Sale

By Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team The easiest way to avoid future IRS problems is to seek out the advice of qualified professionals, beginning with your real estate agent. After that, talk to real estate attorneys and/or experienced accommodators. Before you make any final decisions, make sure you’re comfortable with whomever you’ve entrusted to handle the exchange, as well as your own knowledge of what’s taking place. Always follow the timing rules. In order for an exchange to be valid, you have to meet two requirements: 1) The replacement property must be identified within 45 days of the closing and transfer of the relinquished property. 2) The replacement property must be received within 180 days of the closing and transfer of the relinquished property or the due date (with extensions) for the transferor’s tax returns for the taxable year in which the transfer of the relinquished property occurs. The IRS takes these rules very seriously, so they must be strictly followed. Any deviation will trigger an audit and your exchange will be disallowed. Partnership splits are particularly complicated when they involve a 1031 exchange. What may seem simple at first glance could easily have unforeseen consequences, so be sure to seek out the advice of professionals experienced with this particular issue. If you’re exchanging with a relative, special rules apply. Basically, if either relative resells or otherwise disposes of the property within two years, the entire exchange will be disallowed and the tax on the original exchange must be recognized as of the date of the later disposition. It’s also possible to transact a reverse exchange, in which the replacement property is acquired before the relinquished property, under certain circumstances. This can be done for a number of reasons: 1) Concern about finding the right property. 2) Picking up a great deal on distressed property. 3) The sale on the relinquished property falls apart. 4) The desire for a customized property. Reverse exchanges are more expensive to undertake because of their complicated nature, but they can still be worthwhile in the right situation.

Ten Ways to Get the Most out of Zoning by Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team

June 30, 2011 szabogroup

Joe Szabo Scottsdale Homes for Sale

By Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team 1) Don’t expect more out of zoning than is realistic. Many other factors, like the market and availability of infrastructure, are stronger determinants of land development success. 2) Zoning’s just a small part of a much larger federal, state, and local system of regulations that govern land use. To have success, you must learn how to juggle the various permits, restrictions, and approvals required to develop land. 3) There are usually several different solutions to any given zoning problem. Always consider alternative strategies, as well as how best to employ them. 4) Thoroughly research zoning regulations. You may find a loophole hidden away in some unexpected corner, like a graphic table or an appendix. 5) Read each word carefully. Properly understanding precise definitions can mean great value (or misunderstanding them, tragic loss). 6) Modest changes in zoning ordinances can sometimes mean vastly increased (or decreased) profits. Know which is which. 7) State and federal laws can sometimes override local regulations. Make sure you know if this applies in your situation. 8) Make sure your neighbors are obliged to provide written notice of any planned changes to their property, to prevent any unpleasant surprises. Consider instituting private covenants so that your neighborhood is protected from such unwanted alterations. 9) Before any local zoning proceedings, make sure you’re thoroughly prepared for any argument, and cultivate as many friends in high places as you can. This may be your only chance to win favorable changes. 10) Develop strategies for every administrative proceeding and litigation so you know exactly what to do to maximize your potential for success.

Using Private Annuity Trusts in Real Estate Transactions by Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team?

June 27, 2011 szabogroup

Joe Szabo Scottsdale Homes for Sale

By Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team Owners of appreciated property can use private annuity trusts to accomplish the following: 1) Defer capital gains taxes on the sale of a property. 2) Defer the tax on recapture of depreciation. 3) Create a lifetime stream of income for an individual or jointly for both spouses. 4) Defer receipt of the annuity payments (and taxes) until retirement. 5) Create a family investment trust with the remainder going to the owner’s family or heirs. 6) Provide a financing vehicle for family members. 7) Remove an asset from the owner’s taxable estate. A private annuity trust simply describes a situation in which one person (the annuitant) gives another person (or entity) a sum of money or other assets in exchange for a promise to provide a stream of payments in the future (an annuity contract). It’s a vehicle by which a property owner can sell appreciated real estate, create a stream of income for life, and defer the capital gains taxes. When appreciated real estate is exchanged for a private annuity contract, no capital gains taxes or recapture of depreciation are triggered. Instead, they’re deferred until the future payments are received by the annuitant. The IRS allows you to defer receipt of payments any time until you’re 70½; deferring payments also means deferring tax liability. In most cases, private annuities are between parents and children, but that’s not required. Unlike 1031 exchanges, private annuity trusts have not caught on very well with the real estate community as an option for tax deferral. This is probably because it’s a complicated legal maneuver, which generally necessitates bringing in more advisors. In addition to its capital gains tax advantages, private annuity trusts can also help reduce estate tax liability. All you have to do is transfer an asset from your estate to a private annuity trust so it won’t be counted upon your death. A private annuity trust is an irrevocable non grantor trust, which means that once it’s set up it’s difficult and expensive to change. Annuity payments are for the lifetime of the annuitant; once the annuitant dies, the trustee is responsible for distributing any remaining trust assets to the predetermined beneficiaries. Because tax liability can be deferred until you’re 70½, a private annuity trust can work just like an IRA or any other retirement investment vehicle. The advantage is that it offers more flexibility in terms of choice of investment. One of the best ways to use a private annuity trust is to buy commercial annuities or appreciable assets. Commercial annuities don’t offer the growth potential of other types of investments, but they do provide security and additional tax deferral. An attorney will charge around $3000 to execute an annuity contract. A professional trustee will charge approximately 1 to 1½% of the trust assets (under a million) to take care of the day-to-day affairs of the trust. Over that amount, the fee may be negotiated. A responsible, competent adult child, however, may also execute these responsibilities. An accountant that specializes in trusts will have to be hired to handle your annual tax returns.

Decorating Tips for Bedrooms by Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team

June 24, 2011 szabogroup

By Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team A bedroom is a room that is completely your own, and should reflect you more than just about any other room, especially if this is where you will be spending a majority of you time. Your bedroom should be what you want to see when you open your eyes in the morning. Do you like cool, calming colors to ease you into the day, or warm bright colors to give you a jump start? Here are some things to consider when decorating the master bedroom. 1. The height of the master bead headboard should be seen above the pillows of the bed. A slip cover of a contrasting color and smaller pillows can help visually enhance this. 2. A bed skirt to match the quilt or headboard will cover the frame of the bed and offer a more flow to the room. Some newer beads do not need a bed skirt at all, but a box spring cover. 3. Pillows are a nice decorative accessory. If this is your style, decide weather you want a more simple or formal style; a simpler style might have just a few, bigger pillows, while a more elegant style might a smaller, more detailed pillows. However, no matter the style you choose, you do not want to have too many pillows. 4. Different comforters can offer different looks from season to season, and can reduce some of the sun damage. Maybe try a darker color for summer and a brighter color for winter, to mix things up. 5. Small night stands might be suitable for smaller beds, however, will not compensate for larger beds. Try using a chest or larger side table for King or Queen beds, these will be more to scale. 6. It is often a good idea to buy two sets of sheets that match your bedroom décor, because the first is bound to get worn out. And when sheets are changed in and out regularly, they last longer. 7. Try decorating the end of a bed with a chest or table. A pair of love seats or a desk can also liven a room up, add dimension, and allow for a place to sit or work in you bedroom. 8. Painting a ceiling the same color between a bedroom and a bathroom (or any other alternative space) will link them together and give the room a more open, spacious feel. Also, if you want a room to look open, but want the two spaces to be painted different colors, try picking out three colors that go well together and assign on the bedroom, one to the alternative space, and one to the connecting ceiling. 9. Throwing a mirror toped table into the mix will add extra sparkle and shine to the room, and gives the look a creative touch. This goes especially will with vanity sets or night stands. 10. If looking to make a room seem more romantic or add an extra touch, try putting up a faux canopy. Even if your bed is not a four-post, you can still hang large metal rings from the ceiling and drape fabric though it. To add a dramatic touch, puddle the fabric on the floor.

Tips for Decks in your Scottsdale Home by Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team

June 17, 2011 szabogroup

By Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team Decks of a home can offer a Zen-like escape, or provide a colorful party scene for entertaining. Whatever the purpose, there are a few things to keep in mind when decorating a deck, or deciding how it should be built. Lighting can be used strictly for purpose and security, or it can be arranged decoratively; however, lighting-gone-wrong can create serious glare problems at night and take away from the aesthetics of your deck. Choosing shielded lighting fixtures, placing lights out of direct eye sight, and keeping the overall voltage low, will help prevent this problem. Remember at night, a little light goes a long way. Patio furniture can be either portable or built-in, which ever you choose, make sure it is most practical for your environment. If you entertain frequently, built in furniture can free up a lot of floor space, but does not allow for the furniture to be moved around. If you like upholstered outdoor furniture, but it rains a lot in your area, furniture that can be moved out of bad weather would be best. Also, when considering built in furniture, do not forget to plan drainage carefully. Another aspect to consider, that can be either portable or built in, are planters. Built in planters add a personalized look, but can cause drainage problems. Movable containers can bring annual, perennial, and even vegetable plants to any corner or outdoor table, however, to have a bunch of pots sitting around is an easy way to use up room and contribute to a cluttered look. Consider a combination of both looks. Railings are another important part of a deck, especially if it is more than 30 inches above ground level. Railings add decoration, and provide safety, especially to smaller children. To blend well, they should coordinate with the look of the house, and should be at least 36 to 42 inches high, with no gaps wider than 4 inches. This will create a safe, yet beautiful environment.

What is a Home Warranty by Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team?

June 14, 2011 szabogroup

By Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team A home warranty ensures—or is supposed to ensure—that when something goes wrong with the house (the roof starts to leak, something breaks, etc.) there is a number to call, report the problem, and have it fixed for free or for a pre-arranged cost.. However, there are often unexpected fees attached and can be more headaches than what would at first be expected. Though we recommend them, it’s important to know just what your home warranty covers and what to add such as appliances, pool equipment and more. This is where a seasoned professional like Joe Szabo and the Scottsdale Real Estate Team can advise you. There are many different kinds of home warranties and they also vary in coverage from state to state. One kind of home warranty is an existing home warranty. Existing home warranties, unlike new home warranties, do not cover everything from appliances to major structural problems. They are more like service contracts and are often regulated by the state. Some warranties allow you to pay extra to cover some appliances, pool equipment or air conditioning units. Instead of covering the cost to fix a broken kitchen appliance or faulty wiring, the warranty often covers any costs that exceed a deductible. These warranties typically cover anything from the water heater to interior plumbing, excluding the major structural aspects of the home. Home warranties are usually paid for out of the closing proceeds, and sometimes a seller’s broker will purchase the warranty. Keep in mind these warranties do not cover service charges, should there be a toll free number to call when something goes wrong (usually ranging from thirty to eighty dollars per call). Many buyers wonder if existing home warranties are even worth the trouble; and while they do carry a deductible, they will relieve much of the cost when an expensive item (such as the furnace or air conditioning) goes out.
