Mother put in childrens names. She died 2005 house was in childrens names in 1989. Should it be done as a sale of realestate or would it be considered an inheritance? The house was sold for 30,000.00 less than the appraised value.
Was sold for 100,000.00 leaving approx 30,000.00 to each child. I do taxes for people who cannot afford to have their taxes done by the bigger companies. I have only about 50 that I take care of each year. I have never run across this situation before. I need your help!!!!
If the house was already in the children’s names, then there was no inheritance. Therefore it would be considered a sale of real estate. I believe the basis of the house would have been the basis on the date of the transfer, not the appraised value. Don’t forget to add the cost of any improvements to the original basis.
For more information go to the IRS website and download Publication 523 – Selling Your Home. If that doesn’t help, call the IRS directly.

I live in NC. Im not sure if that matters. Anyways, my friend is looking for a house and he has gone with someone who has just finished up their realestate classes and recieved their license. The realator calls my friend and tells him "Hey I got a number of a guy YOU need to call and talk to…I think he will give you a good rate." He has yet to help him even FIND a mortgage company. I dont think my friend knows where to start. he assumed and so did I that the agent was supposed to help with that. Am I wrong or should the agent be taking the personal information to find him a lendor or at least giving him a list or lenders to contact?
Thanks for all your kind answers!
First of all, I think I would rather work with someone more experienced, as buyers need considerably more expertise than a newbie can provide.
As for mortgage and closing that is up to the buyer. As part of my services, I generally give me clients some names and let them choose. They should talk with at least three lenders to see what different programs are available and of course rates. While I can make arrangement for closing, I always ask if they prefer one place over another. Most folks don’t know title companies like they do lenders.
Nowadays, some Realtors (depending on the client relationship) do not want to know the borrowers financial information. For example, if the borrower is purchasing a property the agent has listed (dual agency), then it’s best if the borrower keeps his financial information confidential. Since I am not a mortgage professional, I leave most of the qualifying up to the lender. I am happy to accompany the client to each lender, but it’s not necessary. If I’ve worked the area for awhile, I know most lenders. And in some places, each real estate company has their own loan divisions and/or title companies. Again, the buyer can select whom they want to work with.
If I can help further, just email me. Hugs from Minnesota!

I heard about a good auction at 777 Punchbowl. Do you know a useful website for current information about that? How did you get in?
For Sheriff’s Sales, foreclosures, tax sales and judicial sales as well as any other sales a county or state may have, you’re going to discover every county in every state/province/territory operates and does things a little differently than the one next to it – even when its in the same state or province.
It requires LOTS of time and diligence.
This is what I learned:
The best suggestions I can offer:
For the work which NEEDS to be done BEFORE the sale, there really isn’t any website.
1] Go to your county court house to the Sheriff’s Office. You might even be able to get the info you need on-line BUT there may be a charge for the on-line access.
2A] It doesn’t make any difference whether you live in a large city or a village/borough, make the investment of time to go to the County Court House or City Hall. Visit the Recorder of Deeds Office/County Clerk’s Office or whatever the office is referred. The names are different, but the Office’s function is the same: to record ALL REAL property documents.
The ladies and gentlemen in the City Hall or Court House are there to help the folks who come there to do business and take care of various matters about that city or county.
3A] Ask for the rules for Sheriff’s sales and foreclosures. AND ask for the information you need to participate and bid on property. Ask for a list or if they are hanging on the wall, grab one or two.
3B] JUST for practice you’ll need a specific, actual address – even if its your own, a friend or relative living in that same county or city. The property owner’s name would be very helpful. Ask an employee in that office how to research a property. Write down and/or remember each of the steps you are shown.
3C] After being shown what to do and how to do it, research the one or two properties you have at the Recorder of Deeds Office/County Clerk’s Office.
If you get stuck, ask for help.
4] If you are able to do the research, attend AT LEAST 3 of those Sheriff’s Sales. You aren’t going to bid on any property. You aren’t going to buy any property. You are there STRICTLY as an observer. You want to see how the process works.
5] At the sheriff’s sales and foreclosures, you’ll probably see the same faces at sale after sale.
Offer to take one of those folks to lunch or dinner and discuss your intentions.
Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!

I don’t have any money for down payments, my income is low, (about 3,500 per month), my credit score is low, and I’m in the process of selling my home in a short sale. I want to create this cash flow as a means of supplement income and then eventually my main source of income. Is this doable?
You may have to wait a bit, but don’t worry, housing prices will probably drop some more.
I suggest buying a rental unit and living in it. Your tenants can pay your mortgage-or at least most of it. Research the tenant-landlord laws in your area as well as financing options and prices of multi-unit homes.
This 2500 sq ft home is located on the shores of Kootenay Lake in Schroeder Creek, about 15 minutes north of Kaslo BC. The home has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a guest cottage which can be rented out, 90 ft of pebbly beach all on almost a half acre parcel of land. $949,000.

I want to rent a house in san diego but am having difficulty finding the time to look for one. I want to pay someone to find one for me, any ideas who to call?
Most large agencies will have rentals.
Here are a few that I see have good ratings on Yahoo local in or near San Diego.

Is there a way to discover which realestate company’s/agents get these? Details/websites appreciated!
One way you can try to find out who lists foreclosures is by picking up a homes for sale guide and reading the ads. The ads that say "being sold as-is" or "proof of funds required" are usually foreclosures. See which Realtors have more listings like that. Another, probably faster, thing you can do is call some real estate offices and ask if they have any agents who specialize in foreclosures or who usually list foreclosures. I used to be a Realtor and there were 2 or 3 people in my office that usually listed foreclosures. If you call a real estate company and ask for someone who lists foreclosures, the secretary will know who to put you in touch with. Also, as long as the foreclosures are put in the multi-list system then any Realtor can tell you about them and show them.
