Nevada Face of Foreclosure Report

reno ab 284 foreclosureThe Nevada Association of RealtorsŽ published the third installment of the “Face of Foreclosure” reports. Previously published in July of 2009 and 2011 the reports cover many aspects of the foreclosure process including;

  • Reasons for default/foreclosure
  • Public opinion on foreclosure/strategic default
  • Foreclosure stats by area and income range
  • Personal stories

The 2012 report is interesting and worth a read. Serious and non-serious points from respondents include:

  • 45/45 split on morality of strategic default
  • 53% have defaulted due to job loss
  • 36% owned their home for 5 years or less. This is after the predatory lending and ARM loan timelines.
  • 79% said owning a home is still part of the American dream
  • 91% of cellphone users don’t own a land-line. Yet, service providers still try to get us to bundle it.

Is there a real estate tax in ObamaCare?

health care law real estate taxYes, there is but it may not affect everyone. Though just because the minority may be affected doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

First of all, I’m not a CPA and readers are advised to receive counsel from a competent CPA or accountant prior to making any decisions.

This tax will affect individuals with a adjusted gross income over $200,000 and joint return couples with and adjusted gross income over $250,000.

So how does it work?

The 3.8% tax will be forced when a person or couple selling are selling their home and capital gains tax is being applied. A little double dipping from your elected officials.

Oh yeah. The tax goes beyond your principal home to include the following:

  • Sale of non-real estate assets. Meaning your stocks and bonds or as many call them… retirement. Sorry Lankowsky.
  • Gain, interest, and dividends from security.
  • Real Estate investment income.
  • Some rental incomes.
  • Sale of a second home with no rental history aka your vacation home.
  • Sale of inherited investment property.
  • Purchase and sale of investment property.

Renown Real Estate Services on Fox News Radio

reno fox news radioLast week I had the pleasure of being a participant on “State Your Case” of 99.1 Fox News Radio. Eddie Floyd, of Nevada Matters Radio, and Cindy of the Kidder Law Group hosted the show and really eased my nerves with their professional guidance.

The show covered thoughts on AB 284, shadow inventory and why the banks are holding properties, atypical appreciation since January 2012 (20%), and the good and bad of government intervention on private markets.

A big thanks to Eddie and Cindy for having me on and hopefuly more airtime in the future.

Also, if you’re thinking of doing a short sale call the Kidder Law Group first. There are other options that may be a better bet for you.
