@Casey HamptonThe capital gains tax scenario for selling a primary house entails excluding up to $250,000 in gains as a single filer and $500,000 as a married couple filing jointly.

Within fourteen days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays or other legal holidays, after termination of the tenancy and delivery of possession and demand by the tenant the landlord shall provide the tenant an itemized list of all deductions together with the amount due and payable to the tenant, if any.

Even lending to an LLC, which Dodd-Frank explicitly excludes, will get you hammered if the intent of your borrower is to use the property as a personal residence.For example, you could make a real estate loan against a gas station.

The only way to exclude a mortgage debt (no matter how many payments have been made) is IF the party making the payments is also obligated on the debt.

Note: no - you cannot exclude a mortgage in any case but what you can do is offset the obligation with income from rental income and/or notes receivable.

If you rebate this to the purchase, your broker should exclude the amounts from your 1099.The short answer for you is that if you don't need the cash, waive/rebate the commission to the purchase.

@Michael Magno, if you still have some Property Management recs for Cleveland (excluding Howard Hanna), I'd love it if you could send those my way too.

Avoid ANYTHING condo in western Canada (excluding lower mainland) for the next decade.

There are so many benefits to buy and hold real estate excluding the supposed 10% cash on cash return with a 10-15% margin for maintenance/capex, PITI etc.

Many insurers have started slipping in language that excludes certain coverages on roofing material.
