Are You Curious About Tax Ramifications With Your Short Sale?
Hello, I'm Kevin Kauffman. I am part of Group 46:10, one of the nation's premiere short sale and real estate teams located right here in Gilbert. Are you having trouble making your mortgage payments or are tired of being underwater on your mortgage? We at Group 46:10 can offer you various alternatives to alleviate some of these issues. As one of the best short sale groups in the nation, we have closed over 500 short sales in the last 4 years and have a closure rate of over 90%.
I am here today to discuss short sales and tax ramifications. One of the concerns that we hear quite often from potential clients is that they would like to short sell their home, but are concerned about the taxes they'll have to pay after the sale. Perhaps you have heard from others that have done short sales that there were some tax liabilities and wish to find out more.
The Mortgage Debt Relief Forgiveness Act, which expires at the end of this year, allows homeowners, such as yourself, to not pay taxes on the forgiven amount if the home is their main residence and the selling price is less than $2.5million. If you are thinking about short selling your property, you need to act quickly because the transaction needs to be finalized by the end of the year in order to qualify for The Mortgage Debt Relief Forgiveness Act.
Please call us or fill out the form on our website, group4610shortsale.com, to find out more about this act or if you have questions about your particular situation. If you don't qualify for this act, don't let that stop you from short selling your propety. We have a couple of other ways to avoid paying taxes as well. A qualified short sale expert, such as myself and my business partner Fred, can discuss those different options with you.
For more information on short sales and how to avoid foreclosure, visit the Group 46:10 blog or you can also contact the Group 46:10 team and get started today.
