Hello everyone, can anyone refer a tax attorney or tax professional who knows about using tax credits that the IRS owes them towards the purchase of Real Estate. Need to make sure everything gets recorded and documented properly. Thanks

Quote from @Michael DeCicco:

In a SubTo deal, as the seller, can someone walk me through the lien part? Placing a lien on the property to guarantee payment from the buyer, what if the buyer wants to sell/refi? Does the buyer always have to pay off the existing loan in full before selling or refi? Is there a way around this or a legal agreement you'd suggest? Thanks

There is no lien in a Subject To. The seller is not protected. When you sell on Subject To, you no longer own the property. You have transferred title. You do not control the property. It can be trashed and you really can't do anything about it. The bank will have to foreclose if the new owner doesn't make payments. If the new owner doesn't make payments your credit gets trashed.

Now, your defenses: if the new owner doesn't make the payments you can ask for the property to be returned to your name or you will sue him. 

You can contact the lender and tell them you no longer own the property and understand they can exercise the due on sale clause. If they do foreclose it goes on your credit, not the credit of the person you sold the house to. Remember, even though you no longer own the house, you still owe the debt.

Have a nice day.

 Learn something new everyday, thanks @Account Closed! this sounds really messed up for the seller, almost makes me think why the hell anyone would want to even do this? all the risk is on the seller side so it seems. Now is subject to the same as seller financing?

@Drew Holland so it would be $75k minus any renovations correct? So $15k Reno so total now would be $60K. Taxable income is $60K. $60K at 20%( for example) would be $12K worth of taxes I’d pay. Am I on track here? Is there anything else that goes into this? Thanks

Looking to sell my current property for $710,000 balance remaining is $580,000. Purchased October 2021, so it has not been 2 years yet. 

How much percentage capital gains tax will i pay?

Is the capital gains tax calculated based on the difference of my outstanding balance and and selling price? or

the difference between selling price and outstanding balance minus closing costs, commissions, etc?

what is the total capital gains i will be paying if i sell without doing 1031?

please advise i appreciate your help!

The provided information shows a decrease in AGI and taxable income from 2021 to 2022. However, the federal taxes paid increased in 2022 despite the decrease in taxable income. This could be due to changes in tax laws or other factors. According to tax data from 2022, total income taxes paid rose by $42 billion to $1.58 trillion, a 2.7 percent increase above 2018. Americans are facing a long list of tax changes for the 2022 tax year, and smart taxpayers will start planning for them now. In 2022, Social Security taxes are levied on the first $147,000 of wages, and Medicare taxes are assessed against all wage income. Policymakers can change the tax code in several ways to treat some or all of the unrealized income of the wealthiest as taxable.
