Mortgage Interest Deduction on the Chopping Block?

by

A tax break that has long been untouchable could soon be in for some serious scrutiny. Many home buyers deduct their mortgage interest when assessing their tax bill, a perk that has helped bolster the income of millions of families – and the broader housing market. But as President Obama and Congress try to hash out a deal to reduce the budget deficit, the mortgage interest deduction will likely be part of the discussion.

Limits on a broad array of deductions could emerge in any budget deal.  It is likely that any caps would be structured to aim at high-income households, and would diminish or end the mortgage tax break for many of those taxpayers.

The Real Estate Indicator Screaming "Buy"

by

Buy Real Estate NowI just locked down a 2.875% interest rate, fixed for the 15-year term of the mortgage. No points. With rates like these, I find myself rethinking the idea that I want to pay off my mortgage.

I can do a lot better than 2.875% investing the money. If I just sock it away in gold, I bet I’ll come out way ahead. Finding investments that clear such a low hurdle is not that difficult.

Right now is a great time to do this, if looked at from a historical perspective. The 10-year Treasury rate is 1.64% as I write. That is what investors are willing to accept to lend money to the US Treasury for a 10-year term. It seems absolutely crazy. But the Treasury rate we see is something of a forced smile.

Why Real Estate is Still a Good Investment

by

Now that the housing bubble has crashed, a growing number of academics, journalists, and financial gurus are trying to reassess the value of real estate as a long-term investment class.

There is a growing — and much needed — consensus that much of the conventional wisdom about real estate as a “great investment” is over-hyped and oversold by the National Association of Realtors who also happen to be a powerful lobbying group, dictating our national housing policy.

The Wall Street Journal's Cheapskate columnist looks at housing and reaches a good conclusion (subscription required), explaining that the real financial return of homeownership comes from not having to pay rent: “That's why you should buy as much home as you need — but no more. A bigger home than you need isn't an investment — it's an extravagance, the equivalent of renting a bigger apartment than you need. You may choose to do so, but that doesn't make it a smart move financially.”

Unfortunately though, Cheapskate also makes a key math error in calculating the return on his over the years: “When I constructed a very basic cash-flow model for our home-buying history-selling price minus purchase price, renovations and repairs — it showed a roughly 3.5% annualized return on investment, from 1991 through the summer of last year.”

What You Should Know About HUD Properties

by

imageHUD properties are available all over the United States, and make great investments for anybody that is interested. These homes often get a bad rap for being in bad condition, but in all actuality they are not any worse than other foreclosed homes that are available. Just like anything else, there are some HUD properties that are in good condition, and some that are in need of repairs. It is simply a matter of how well the past owner cared for the home.

HUD properties are homes that had loans which were insured by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). But when the owner fails to live up to the financial obligations that are expected, the bank then takes over the home and it becomes an HUD property. At this point, the Department of Housing and Urban Development is in charge of repaying the lender any money that they lost on the deal. So as you can see, the Department of Housing and Urban Development sticks their neck on the line when they insure the loans on these homes; if the owner doesn’t pay, they are stuck with owing money to the lender.

The Perfect Storm to Buy Real Estate

by

This may be the most amazing buyer’s market in decades!

Think about it.  Interest rates are at historic lows.  Housing inventories are at 20-year highs.  Nationally, housing prices have dropped 16.3% since last year.  Sellers of every kinds (home owners, investors, builders, and developers) are motivated to sell their property to liquidate or stay liquid in these tough economic times.

I’m sure most of you have heard these stats before:  Only 2% of retirees will be financially independent by age 65, while the other 98% rely on family, the government or a job to get by financially.

If you want to make a fortune in real estate, and I’m talking about millions of dollars, then now is the time to buy!  Forget about the uncertainties of the stock market and worrying about a recession.  Now is the time to position yourself for real wealth simply by buying real estate in growth markets around the country.

If you’re not sure how to get started then call me.  I will help point you in the right direction.

2008 is the Year to Invest

by

With interest rates still at historic lows, and investment opportunities in single family homes abundant, 2008 may one of the best years to invest in 30 years.

Even if prices drop a little more within the next twelve months, you may still be getting a great deal over the long term given the low interest rates which may not be around in the years to come.

It is best to stick to well-located detached single family homes in well researched markets that offer good prospects for growth and resale down the road. Middle of the road, bread-and-butter homes might be best in most cases for attracting your largest resale market.

Duplexes also make for smart investments but remember they are a little more difficult to sell because your typical buyer will probably be another investor.

And finally, avoid condos since you lack the control you have in single family units. Condos also require extra due diligence to make sure that you are not buying from speculators or developers at prices above market value or where there is excess inventory for sale.
