Assembly Bill 1771, also known as the California Housing Speculation Act, aims to change real estate tax policy to discourage investors from quickly reselling properties like single-family homes.Under the proposed bill, an additional 25% tax would be imposed on the gain from the sale of a qualified asset (including homes) within three years of the previous sale.The tax reduction is dependent on the number of years passed since the initial purchase of the qualified asset, ranging from a 20% reduction for sales occurring between 3.01 to 4 years to a 100% reduction for sales occurring more than seven years after the initial purchase.The revenues generated by this tax increase would be deposited into the Speculation Recapture Community Reinvestment Fund, which aims to support affordable housing, local governments, schools, and infrastructure projects.The bill is introduced by Assembly Member Ward, and the proposed tax changes would take effect from January 1, 2023.Assembly Member Ward argues that short-term investors in the market, including fix and flip investors, contribute to rising housing prices, limiting opportunities for Californians to purchase homes.While the bill may discourage short-term speculative transactions, it is worth noting that California's tax laws still provide certain advantages for investors, including unlimited tax write-offs and depreciation benefits.The bill is subject to legislative approval, and Assembly Member Ward will speak publicly about the bill at the San Diego County Administration Center on a specified date.Please note that this is a simplified summary of the bill and its potential impact on fix and flip investors.

Hey everyone,I’m exploring the idea of creating a software tool designed to streamline the due diligence process for commercial real estate transactions.

Or if that’s not allowed sell it to a friend who will then sell it to my personal IRA at a discounted rate so when I turn 65 and sell the properties , I don’t have to pay any tax on all of my properties assuming I don’t sell them until they are in my IRA account…That is a prohibited transaction and not something you can do.

Who is your primary customer, what is your RevPAR, what financing terms are you looking at, who is running the daily operations, are you looking to get under a major flag, i.e.

The PM coordinates cleanings, repairs, maintenance, mowing the lawn, etc.These transactions would involve a TIC.

She worked for a major brokerage and after a few transactions, I grew to know, like, and trust her.

Do the fees add up daily or do you use a different rate?  

This is when the majority of the transactions for the whole year are done.

However, it's important to note that using leverage in an IRA can trigger Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT), and there are strict IRS rules to follow to avoid prohibited transactions.

I work with some of them on a daily basis, I partner with them on deals, etc.
