Are You Concerned About Tax Ramifications With Your Short Sale?
Hello, I'm Kevin Kauffman. I am part of Group 46:10, one of the nation's top short sale and real estate businesses located right here in Peoria. Are you struggling to make your mortgage payments or are tired of being underwater on your mortgage? We at Group 46:10 can offer you different options to alleviate some of these problems. As one of the top short sale teams in the country, we've finalized more than 500 short sales in the past 4 years and have a completion rate of over 90%.
I am here today to talk to you a little bit about short sales and tax ramifications. One of the issues that we hear quite often from potential clients is that they want to do a short sale, but are concerned about the taxes they will have to pay after the sale. Maybe you have heard from other homeowners 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 2012, allows homeowners, such as yourself, to not pay taxes on the forgiven amount if the property is their primary 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 has to be finalized by the end of the year in order to qualify for The Mortgage Debt Relief Forgiveness Act.
Please give us a call or fill out the form on our website, group4610shortsale.com, to find out more about this act or if you have questions about your specific 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 skilled short sale specialist, such as myself and my business partner Fred, can discuss those different options with you.
