Bank Homes for Sale

Finding a Orange County house for sale for a great price can sometimes be a trying experience. First, you have to find out about all of the houses for sale in your price range in a timely manner - next, you need to preview the inside of these homes - then, after you’ve have selected a few candidates, you need to analyze to see what’s a fair price for each house - Finally, you formulate your offer to purchase…. and by the time that’s all completed, the really good homes with a great value, are usually sold… So what do you do? Follow this 5 step program for buying a house, and you will greatly increase your odds for success…

1.) First - Get with a mortgage lender and obtain pre-qualification letter. We usually recommend mortgage brokers over banks for often times a mortgage broker will have a wider selection of loan programs to choose from as compared to a bank. This step is very important for shopping for a house to buy is challenging enough, and not being confident with regard to your price range makes it even more difficult. The pre-qualification letter (pre-qual), can usually be done in an hour or two, and will tell you how much of house you can afford and what your monthly payments and closing costs will be… valuable information. Shop around for lenders before you give them permission to run your credit, for you don’t want to many inquiries on your credit report at this stage.

2.) I know you have probably heard it before, but is true - Find yourself a good tech savvy Buyers Agent. The services of a good Buyer’s Agent are essentially free to you for the Seller has already signed a contract to pay a commission to the agents who sell their home. So whether you deal with the listing agent, a brand new rookie agent, or a seasoned and professional Buyers Agent, there are no extra costs to you the Buyer! Dealing with the listing agent directly is not such a good idea, for the listing agents fiduciary responsibility and loyalty is first and foremost with the Seller. That leaves you at a negotiating and contractual disadvantage. Also, many listing agents specialize in working with sellers, and many of them don’t have the time, interest nor demeanor to work effectively and patiently with home buyers. Working with a newbie agent with less than 2 years experience f0r the purchase of a $800K house is not such a good idea when you can work with a seasoned professional for the same NO cost! How do you find such a seasoned professional tech savvy Buyers Agent ? - by searching on the Internet or referrals from friends and co-workers.

3.) Once you’ve selected and met with your Buyers Agent, have them set you up on an email alert home finding service that checks the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) every day. When a new listing comes on the market that meets you criteria, it will send you and your Agent an email notifying you of this brand new listing, and the email will contain many details about the house for sale.

4.) When you’re ready, set an appointment with your Buyer’s Agent and go look at all of the houses for sale that meet your needs, wants, price range, etc. In today’s market, that list of houses for sale won’t be to big for the inventory has been low in Orange County for many months. So in one or two afternoons, you can see every house listed for sale. If you didn’t find a house you like, then start using the email alert service (above), and check your email on a daily basis to see if a new listing pops up that is worth seeing. When a new listing arrives, it’s usually a very good ides to hop in the car and have your buyers Agent show it to you as soon as possible. After a month or so, if you haven’t found a house that strikes you interest, it’s probably time to modify your search parameters… ie; maybe look for slightly smaller houses, look in a few more cities, bump up the price a little bit, etc. etc.

5.) Once you and your agent have found a house (or two) that meet your needs and wants, get together with your agent and formulate an offer to purchase. Here an experienced Buyers agent will be very valuable in getting you the best deal possible, and assuring you a smooth, and timely contract closing (Escrow) process.

While the 1031 deferred exchange is a viable means for some real estate owners and investors, many are finding the stringent requirements and the lack of quality properties a barrier to successful completion of a 1031 exchange. With long term tax deferral as a primary objective, many real estate investors are looking for other options to help them eliminate current capital gains taxes.

Though less than 10% of investors are aware of it, the Private Annuity Trust is quickly making its way into the mainstream as a way for investors to not only avoid current capital gains taxes, but also a secure way to protect assets and create a lifetime income.

Affording time to make solid investment choices
Investors don’t want to hand over 30% of their profits to the government when they sell their property. Eager to defer taxation, many investors jump into deals before they’re ready or initiate transactions that don’t provide them with any additional financial benefit simply to avoid capital gains tax. With a 1031 deferred exchange, the property must be identified within 45 days and purchased within 180 days following the sale of the original property.

The Private Annuity Trust puts the power of choice back in the real estate investor’s hands, providing the flexibility to invest in good deals when they arise. With a Private Annuity Trust, capital gains tax isn’t owed until the money is distributed as lifetime income from the Trust. That means that while you’re looking for a profitable real estate development opportunity, the money you would have paid to Uncle Sam is earning interest in the Private Annuity Trust.

Like kind? Affording the freedom to invest in what you choose
One challenge that real estate investors face with the 1031 deferred exchange is “like kind” clause. A 1031 exchange cannot be used for real estate outside of the United States. However, many real estate investors are setting their sites on retirement homes in other countries so a 1031 is not a viable transaction for them to help with tax deferral.

Also, primary residences are not covered by 1031 exchanges, and many homeowners now have significant gain that will be taxable when they sell their home. With a Private Annuity Trust, you have an opportunity to keep all the proceeds from your sale and create a balanced investment portfolio that will fund your lifetime income stream. You have the flexibility to begin taking payments immediately or to defer payments until you need the income.

When are the capital gains property taxes due?
With a Private Annuity Trust, capital gains taxes aren’t due until the money is distributed to the seller. Because the Trust agrees to make lifetime payments, capital gains tax is paid incrementally over the seller’s lifetime as well. For example, if a real estate investor sells a property through a Private Annuity Trust, the entire profit from the sale, including what he would have had to pay for capital gains tax, remains in the Trust.

As long as there are no annuity payments made to the seller, there is no capital gains tax payment due. The proceeds from the sale and the amount owed for capital gains property tax can remain in the Trust collecting interest until the Trust payments begin.

The Private Annuity Trust benefits real estate investors in the prime of their investing careers by giving them the freedom to decide when, where, and in what they will invest their earned money. For many investors, the Private Annuity Trust has been a critical piece to safe, smart, investing.
