The Question Every Cash Buyer Should Answer

Thursday, May 1, 2014
by The Hat Team

Paying cash for a home seems like a huge advantage to qualifying for a mortgage and an appraisal.  However, for the fortunate few who don’t need a mortgage, there is a question they should answer before they make that decision: Do you think at any point in the future, you might put a mortgage on this property?

cash purchaseIt’s important because paying cash for a home could affect the ability to deduct the interest if the homeowner should place a mortgage on the home at a later date.

Most homeowner’s know they can deduct the interest on up to $1,000,000 of acquisition debt on their principal residence but they may not understand the limitations of such debt.

Acquisition debt is the amount used to buy, build or improve a person’s principal residence.  The amount is not static but changes over time.  An amortized loan reduces the principal owed with each payment made and the acquisition debt is reduced accordingly.  If a person stays in a home long enough to retire the loan, the acquisition debt is reduced to zero.

Our current federal law allows a homeowner to deduct the interest on the acquisition debt plus the interest on up to an additional $100,000 home equity debt.  If a person pays cash for a home, the acquisition debt would be zero and the only interest deduction allowed would be for home equity debt.

If you answered yes or even maybe to the question, before you pay cash to buy your home, you should discuss your situation with your tax advisor.

Can you spell potential? With as few as 4 of these 12 units rented, you can service the debt on $120,000 loan. From there it should be mostly gravy for a savvy investor. Great location to upgrade and attract military at Maxwell AFB, just 5 minutes away.

Midtown Montgomery Real Estate Market Report for March 2014

Saturday, April 26, 2014
by The Hat Team

The spring buying season looks promising according to BankRate.com. As the weather warms and flowers bloom homes remain affordable and inventories are low, making it a good time to buy.

Here are 5 housing trends you can expect to see this spring:

1. Adjustable rate mortgages are gaining favor.
As rates tick upward, there is a tremendous savings opportunity with an ARM.

2. Homeowners are cashing out with home equity lines.

May homeowners have regained the equity lost in the recession and are taking advantage of new found value in their homes.

3. Mortgage rates will rise...a little!

Mortgage rates will most likely inch up this spring but are not expected to skyrocket. Experts are expecting rates to go higher than 5%.

4. Home prices will increase.

An increase in prices is mostly due to low inventory. Prices are expected to steadily climb through the end of the year.

5. 'Permanent' HAMP rates are expiring.

Homeowners who refinanced with the Home Affordable Modification Program will start to see their rates increase. The 'permanent' rate expires after 5 years.

Interested in buying this spring? Let us help you find the best home and the best financing for you and your family! Contact us today!
