Non-Tax Reasons for a Like-Kind Exchange
Most real estate investors are familiar with 1031 exchanges, which permit an investor to defer the payment of capital gain taxes upon the sale of qualifying investment property so long as they acquire like-kind replacement investment property. Many investors only consider the tax reasons for a like-kind exchange. That is, the deferral of taxes and the ability to fully reinvest the equity into the new investment property. However, there are many additional reasons an investor might want to exchange one property for another. Because of the broad definition of what is like-kind real property, investors are given considerable flexibility in changing the type or location of their real estate investment. The following are some typical non-tax motives to exchange:
    • Exchange from fully depreciated property to a higher value property that can be depreciated.

    • Exchange from a stagnant or slowly appreciating property to a property in an area with greater appreciation potential, i.e. reposition their assets.

    • Exchange from non-income producing vacant land to improved property to create a positive cash flow from the rental income.

    • Exchange from a property with maximized or minimal cash flow to a higher cash flow property to generate a larger cash flow.

    • Exchange for a property or properties that may be easier to sell in the coming years.

    • Exchange to meet location requirements. For example, a person moves to another state and wants to have their investment property nearby for management purposes.

    • Exchange to fit the lifestyle of a person. For example, a retiree may exchange for a property requiring reduced management responsibility so they can do more traveling.

    • Exchange from several smaller properties to one larger property to consolidate the benefits of ownership and reduce management responsibilities.

    • Exchange from a larger property to several smaller properties in the same or different localities to diversify investment and possibly reduce risk. Exchanges can also be used to divide an estate among several children.

    • Exchange to a property the client can use in his or her own profession. For example, a doctor may exchange from a rental house to a medical building or office condominium to use for his or her practice.

    • Exchange from a partial interest in one property to a fee interest in another property.

    • Exchange from a management intensive fee interest in real estate to a professionally managed triple net leased property.

    • Exchange from an older property in need of repairs and/or system replacements to a newer property with more efficient and/or reliable systems.

    • Exchange from one property owned free and clear to two or more properties with loans using leverage to acquire more investment properties and thereby increase income and/or appreciation potential.

This is not an all-inclusive list. The potential beneficial (and legal) uses for §1031 exchanges are often limited only by the imagination of investors and their advisors. As with any tax or estate planning, it should be done only after consulting with a tax and/or legal advisor to ensure the investor’s goals will be achieved by the §1031 exchange. An exchange can and should be just another tool of the intelligent real estate investor to acquire and preserve wealth.

Bank Reo's in Stockton. A Bank Repo or  REO is real estate owned by the bank, and many investors consider an REO property to be money just waiting to happen. An REO is different from a foreclosure property in that the bank has already tried to sell it at a foreclosure auction and has had no luck getting bids. Because the property was not bid on, the bank then became the owner of the property. Naturally, the bank does not want to keep the REO any longer than possible, and this makes it a great opportunity for an investor. Clean REO's priced at the market in good areas are receiving multiple offers over the asking price in just a few days.

    5 Top Tips for Home Sellers

    Title & Escrow:  Title insurance is more than a product, it is a process. When a homebuyer and a home seller come to terms, the process opens with the preparation of a contract and closes with the issuance of a title policy. Title insurance is one of the key elements in this process. A prefatory step is the creationhref="California-real-estate-purchase-agreement.htm">contract between the parties. This contract, called closing or escrow instructions in most areas, is usually prepared by s leading to the closing.

Financing Real Estate

    Get Pre Approved:  Getting pre-qualified helps you determine how much home you can afford, based on specific financial information you share with your lender. The lender does not verify this information, and consequently there is no guarantee you will qualify for the loan amount. Getting pre-approved requires that the lender verify your financial information, and does serve as a commitment to lend a specified amount based on that verified information. This gives you significant buying power with a seller who recognizes you will be approved for a loan 

General Real Estate

    Home Inspection

      Home Inspection: In the past, home inspections were unheard of in residential real estate sales. Buyers simply relied on their own impressions of the home and the representations of the sellers real estate agent. Today, the process is dramatically different. Most real estate purchase contracts give the buyer fairly broad rights to order one or more professional inspections of the home before completing the purchase.

    Home Styles

      Residential dwelling styles can be built in a large variety of configurations. A basic division is between free-standing or detached dwellings and various types of attached or multi-user dwellings

    Home Warranty

      Home Warranty: Home warranty protection plans may offer different levels of coverage. For example, by paying a higher annual premium, you may also cover things like air conditioning, clothes washer and dryer and even swimming pool equipment.

    Today, a visit to California’s gold country provides a chance to visit that past. Most of the towns have pioneer museums, some with model working mines, and the narrow streets, old hotels, and Victorian homes clinging to cliffsides remind visitors of the days when the area was abuzz not only with mines but with assayers’ offices, storefront banks, brothels, gambling houses, and rowdy taverns. But more than that, the gold country offers some downright stunning scenery. The two best times of the year are in spring, when the wildflowers carpet the rolling hillsides, and in late fall, when frost lingers in morning shadows and the leaves turn to brilliant reds and golds

For release: Thursday, July 22, 2010 C.A.R. reports June median price increased 13.6 percent; home sales decreased 4.2 percent

Existing, single-family home sales decreased 4.2 percent in June to a seasonally adjusted rate of 492,800 units on an annualized basis compared with June 2009.

The statewide median price of an existing single-family home increased 13.6 percent in June to $311,950 compared with June 2009.

C.A.R.’s Unsold Inventory Index rose to 4.8 months in June compared with 4.2 months in June 2009. LOS ANGELES (July 22) – Home sales decreased 4.2 percent in June in California compared with the same period a year ago, while the median price of an existing home rose 13.6 percent, the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (C.A.R.) reported today.

“Buyers who scrambled to close escrow in May to take advantage of federal and state tax credits before they expired impacted the number of homes sold last month,” said C.A.R. President Steve Goddard. “Although we expect sales to be lower in the second half of the year because of the absence of the government stimulus, they should remain above the long-run average and be significantly higher than the trough in 2007, when sales bottomed out.
