borrowed family money to buy realestate here in the us. can i deduct the interest and do i need a contract?

Posted on February 28th, 2010 by admin in realestate properties | 3 Comments »

My fiancee is a non-resident/ non citizen; Is it possible for her to deduct this interest? Can she deduct yearly or only when the house and the property sells? Or can she only deduct a portion of the interest? Will a hard copy of the "loan-agreement-contract", be required as proof for review at filling?

Thank You in advance.

i think you best bet would be to post this question in the tax section!!!

Use proper English if you are going to ask a question. This sentence is total nonsense

How realtor convert the attention of buyer when they ask to show fsbo houses?

Posted on February 28th, 2010 by admin in realtor | 2 Comments »

I want to know that how realtor(real estate agent) react or quote some sentence or behave to buyer when a buyer ask to show them a fsbo (for sale by owner) property?

In my area I market to FSBO. I allow them to continue to sell the home on their own. They really are no competition. In my area, they are ALL over prices and under marketed.

As far as showing? I won’t unless they sign a contract with me to list their home, again they can continue to sell on their own. Before I sell a home I want to make sure it actually can be sold. If a home is listed with a Real Estate Office I can assume that actually can be sold. I do not want to bring a buyer to the table only to find that the sellers ex-wife is still on the title,lives 2000 miles way and won’t return phone calls. I also don’t want to do both the work of a listing agent and selling agent for half a pay check. Call me selfish but who here will go to their boss and ask them to cut their paycheck in half?

I don’t want to waste a buyers time and embarrass myself buy showing a property that can’t even be sold.

Do you realtors have a major disadvantage?

I am 26 and thinking about getting into real estate in upscale areas. Are young realtors ata a disadvantage?

You are not necessarily at a disadvantage.Your best source of customers can come from lenders.I encourage you to move forward in getting your real estate license.I have sold real estate now for three years and am earninga very good income.

I want to sell my home, who is a reputable realty companie to go through?

I dont want to spend too much on commision and closing cost, can anyone recomend a company? What should I look for and avoid?

ask friends, family, neighbors etc to recommend a real estate agent, Having a good agent is more important than which company they work for. Find someone you can trust by getting a personal referral, never cold-call an agent.

the cost (fees etc) is pretty standardized, it won’t vary much from one company to the next. expect it to be 8% to 10% of the total sale price.

Where have LowerMyBills LendingTree and RealEstate gone?

Posted on February 28th, 2010 by admin in realestate com | 4 Comments »

The sites lowermybills.com , lendingtree.com and realestate.com seem to have vanished off the face of the Earth. I read somewhere that Lending Tree was in a court case but that is all I know…

LendingTree and Bankrate.com are both being sued for using bait-and-switch tactics. LendingTree, for example, advertises that "when banks compete you win." However, many leads are sent directly to it’s wholly owned direct lending division, Home Loan Center.

LowerMyBills is having similar issues.
