Earl W. Flat Fee MLS Companies. Are they all the same?
26 April 2024 | 10 replies
The secondary major real estate portals typically fall into the few minutes to a day or two to update - they're normally faster to pick up a new listing but can be slower to get updates to an existing listing.So - flat fee listings are typically limited service listings where the broker is just your onramp to get your listing into MLS and doesn't provide much beyond the required minimum after that - everything else is an upcharge/upsell - the one big ticket item I think every listing should have is a Supra lockbox just for security.

Upon the sale of the condominium, the capital gains on Person C's sale would be calculated as follows:A. 33.33% of the sale price minus the original purchase price to account for the interest acquired via quit claim deed on July 7 2015.B. 16.66% of the sale price minus the stepped up fair market value on 11/17/2020 as capital gains for the 16.66% remainder interest acquired on 11/17/2020 from Person A.C. 50% of the sale price minus the stepped up fair market value on 01/17/2023 as capital gains for the 50% remainder interest acquired on 01/17/2023 from Person B.Total Capital gains would be the sum of items 3A, 3B and 3C above minus any allowed deductions, such as the home sale costs (closing, repairs and so on).As an individual owned rental property, upon sale the only way to avoid the capital gains would be to do a 1031 exchange and then hold the new property that is purchased for approximately 3 years before selling it.

Na Christian Interest-free seller financing

While I am capable of holding onto a property like this, I fear for the newbies who have very real risks of not being able to hold onto the property long enough to get out from underwater.Because the buyer of this property is likely to be inexperienced and not know or think through all of the items discussed here, this strategy may put you in a ridiculous position of power for at least the next decade over the buyer.
