Real Estate Tips

Tax Considerations >Tax Deductions

Here is a question which is often asked about real estate sales: which home loan fees are deductible for income tax purposes? It is good to know the answer to this question before you sign on the dotted line. It may influence which loan you will choose. Loan fees for certain services are not itemized on your fee statement, but are grouped together into a single category.

The most obvious deductible fee is the loan fee paid to acquire a mortgage for a principal residence. The IRS recently ruled that the buyer could deduct the fee in the first year, even if the seller paid it! Other deductions include pro-rated property taxes and mortgage interest. On these items, the buyer may only deduct their share.

Most of the other closing costs are not deductible, but you may add them to your home's adjusted cost basis when calculating appreciation. Among these costs are appraisal, attorney, and inspection fees, as well as title, recording and notary fees. Fire insurance fees are neither deductible nor do they figure into the cost basis. If you are not sure which fees are deductible, consult a professional tax advisor.

I realize that buying and selling a home is one of the most crucial financial transactions of your life. In what can be a confusing and sometimes difficult process, it pays to leave as little to chance as you can. With my help, you can navigate unknown territory with ease. To fill the specific residential needs of home buyers and sellers, the Residential Sales Council of the National Association of REALTORS institutes a class of expert real estate professionals: the Certified Residential Specialists (CRS). Fewer than 3% of all Realtors have earned the right to be called a "CRS". Fewer than 3% have developed special residential sales skills and enhanced their residential sales knowledge through education, dedication and experience. At Bonnie Ferrell & Co., Inc., I am proud of the fact that I have earned the CRS designation, and therefore have the knowledge and experience to assist you through the entire home buying process. Additionally I am also a licensed residential and commercial contractor. I have been actively building new homes since 1996. I invite you to put my vast skills and knowledge to work for you.
