Account Closed How does new tax plan affect REI?
1 December 2017 | 20 replies
A couple points from a first read of the details though it is far too early to tell:1) Extending the time period requirement for tax free gains on personal residence will hurt,2) There is some discussion of making edits to like-kind exchanges though it is not clear how that will work,3) The $500k mortgage deduction piece and property tax caps are individual tax provisions. 
Haley M. Seller financing for family members
7 December 2017 | 6 replies
Hi @Haley Mistler I don't see how you could do seller financing.For the buyer, seller financing is very similar to bank financing except that the seller (you) is now the lender.You could have done seller financing if you owned the house free and clear.But considering you have a mortgage on the house, you can't really extend a secured loan to your family collateralized on the house without paying off your lender.Ultimately, it seems like you really want to help your family member while no longer having that house as a liability.I am not sure if you have looked at it, but if I were you, I would check with a mortgage broker if there is any way they could get a loan in their own name.I imagine rates have gone down since you bought it, so they could have lower monthly repayment and if they really cannot afford the down payment.Assuming that they have always paid their rent on time for the past years that you have had them tenant, the main concern would be coming up with a down payment.Ultimately, I see great benefits in shifting your liabilties and getting rid of that property and sellling it to them.Considering that the amount owed on the house is what it is worth now, you would saved real estate commissions by selling it to them.Those savings could be used towards their down payment maybe?
