Real estate investors smile at tax time
"Why buy real estate in a flat market?" That is the essence of a question my airline seatmate asked me after he learned I invest in and write about real estate. But rather than answer his question directly, I asked him, "Do you own your home?" "Of course," he replied. Then I followed up by asking him the benefits of owning his home. As I recall, he listed security, pride of ownership, tax savings, market-value appreciation, building equity, investment safety, no rent increases, and perhaps a few I forgot. My seatmate then asked me if I thought he and his wife should sell a rental house they own in Arizona. They seem to be having problems keeping it occupied by reliable renters since it is about 1,000 miles from their primary residence. But then he quickly added, "Our problem, if we sell, is we would owe tax on at least $75,000 of profit." Although I pointed out the current low federal long-term capital gain tax is a maximum of only 15 percent, my new friend seemed highly adverse to paying taxes. So I suggested he make a tax-deferred exchange for a rental house close to his residence so he can better manage it. Looking for a condo in Atlantic Grove?
