Real Estate

Mother put in childrens names. She died 2005 house was in childrens names in 1989. Should it be done as a sale of realestate or would it be considered an inheritance? The house was sold for 30,000.00 less than the appraised value.
Was sold for 100,000.00 leaving approx 30,000.00 to each child. I do taxes for people who cannot afford to have their taxes done by the bigger companies. I have only about 50 that I take care of each year. I have never run across this situation before. I need your help!!!!

If the house was already in the children’s names, then there was no inheritance. Therefore it would be considered a sale of real estate. I believe the basis of the house would have been the basis on the date of the transfer, not the appraised value. Don’t forget to add the cost of any improvements to the original basis.

For more information go to the IRS website and download Publication 523 – Selling Your Home. If that doesn’t help, call the IRS directly.

I heard about a good auction at 777 Punchbowl. Do you know a useful website for current information about that? How did you get in?

For Sheriff’s Sales, foreclosures, tax sales and judicial sales as well as any other sales a county or state may have, you’re going to discover every county in every state/province/territory operates and does things a little differently than the one next to it – even when its in the same state or province.

It requires LOTS of time and diligence.

This is what I learned:

The best suggestions I can offer:

For the work which NEEDS to be done BEFORE the sale, there really isn’t any website.

1] Go to your county court house to the Sheriff’s Office. You might even be able to get the info you need on-line BUT there may be a charge for the on-line access.

2A] It doesn’t make any difference whether you live in a large city or a village/borough, make the investment of time to go to the County Court House or City Hall. Visit the Recorder of Deeds Office/County Clerk’s Office or whatever the office is referred. The names are different, but the Office’s function is the same: to record ALL REAL property documents.

The ladies and gentlemen in the City Hall or Court House are there to help the folks who come there to do business and take care of various matters about that city or county.

3A] Ask for the rules for Sheriff’s sales and foreclosures. AND ask for the information you need to participate and bid on property. Ask for a list or if they are hanging on the wall, grab one or two.

3B] JUST for practice you’ll need a specific, actual address – even if its your own, a friend or relative living in that same county or city. The property owner’s name would be very helpful. Ask an employee in that office how to research a property. Write down and/or remember each of the steps you are shown.

3C] After being shown what to do and how to do it, research the one or two properties you have at the Recorder of Deeds Office/County Clerk’s Office.

If you get stuck, ask for help.

4] If you are able to do the research, attend AT LEAST 3 of those Sheriff’s Sales. You aren’t going to bid on any property. You aren’t going to buy any property. You are there STRICTLY as an observer. You want to see how the process works.

5] At the sheriff’s sales and foreclosures, you’ll probably see the same faces at sale after sale.

Offer to take one of those folks to lunch or dinner and discuss your intentions.

Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!

Yes, that is my real last name!

I am currently renting a unit for $340 per week (Australian Dollars) we have ducted air conditioning, this is one of the reasons we chose this property. Recently the air conditioner stopped working and we organised for the realestate to have it fixed. Over the past 4-5 days there has been a heat wave(38 to 43 degrees celcius) so the unit was not livinable as it was like a suana for about 4 to 5 days, we had to move into my partners parents house. Am I able to get compensated in rent as the house was not livinable?
Thanks

I don’t think you’d be able to get compensated. The house was able to be lived in. You could’ve got fans to use.

I have two options available – one is to purchase units / apartments, or one is to purchase a factory. Which is the safer option?

I would prefer the residential.

The reason is because of the predictable rental income.

I don’t have any money for down payments, my income is low, (about 3,500 per month), my credit score is low, and I’m in the process of selling my home in a short sale. I want to create this cash flow as a means of supplement income and then eventually my main source of income. Is this doable?

You may have to wait a bit, but don’t worry, housing prices will probably drop some more.
I suggest buying a rental unit and living in it. Your tenants can pay your mortgage-or at least most of it. Research the tenant-landlord laws in your area as well as financing options and prices of multi-unit homes.
