This is a great article from a local title company which describes some of the more interesting aspects of the ’1031′ tax exchange rules. I am intrigued by this allowance for a couple of reasons…
1. If you need to move out of your primary residence and want to hold it as a rental property, then that might be a great strategy right now.
2. I REALLY like the idea of liquidating investment property and rolling it over into a home that you might like to retire to in future. You can thus defer your capital gains, and as this article describes, purchase your future retirement home, rent it out for 2+ years to enable it to meet the investment property definition for your 1031 exchange and then move into it in your retirement, essentially converting it into your primary residence
As you know, REALTORS can’t give you tax advice, only a tax professional can do this. So you should consult one to ask how this might apply to your personal situation. If you decide it’s helpful… then I’m ready to go to work to help you find that perfect retirement home.
Personal Residence to Rental
Sonoma County truly is ‘ON SALE’ and our prices are better than we ever expect to see again. Take advantage of our wonderful prices, lock in at a lower property tax base and buy your future retirement home now! We have a strong rental market here and I think this all combines to create ‘The Perfect Storm’ for your retirement and tax planning.
I just attended a refresher course on the planning and permit process in Sonoma County. I’m reminded of the fact that many people really don’t know how to respond when contacted by the county about a possible code violation. So I thought I’d share the following…
1. You do NOT have to allow the county access to your property. If they can see the violation from the road or from Google Maps, then they probably have evidence. If it’s inside your home, you do not have to allow them access.
2. If you receive a threatening letter suggesting you have violations on your property… do not offer or volunteer any information. Make sure you understand what they are asking, ask what evidence they have to support this. You do not have to respond immediately. Find out what your options are before responding.
3. Good planning and permit consultants are available who can help you find a resolution at the lowest possible cost and/or effort. It’s almost always worth the price of a consultation to find out if they can help you.
It is important to know what the permit status is on your property. When the time comes to sell it, a buyer will find out if there are any ‘red-tag’ violations; you will have to disclose everything you know and in some cases, permit violations make the property ‘un-lendable’ which dramatically impacts the price. So if you have code violations, now is the time to resolve them, not when you’re trying to sell your property.
Any of course my last piece of free advice… never do any improvements without the necessary permits. When the time comes to sell your property, the buyer will rarely value the improvements at anything close to what they would be worth if they were permitted and often banks will not lend on the property if there are non-permitted units, etc.
For more information on things to do BEFORE you decide to sell your home, please feel free to contact me!
This is a lot of information in a small space. Please feel free to call if you have questions about this or about the market in your specific neighborhood. I’m always happy to help you work on or understand property values.
