HOW WILL THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION EFFECT YOUR INVESTMENTS?

June 11th, 2008 3:50 PM

With the Presidential election just around the corner, have you considered how the next administration may impact the real estate market? One candidate says he will seek to eliminate the existing capital gains tax reduction. The current reduction in the capital gains tax has been a real boost to the real estate market. If we lose that advantage, it will mean less incentive to invest in real estate and lower profits. Now is the time to invest in real estate and take advantage of the lower prices while we still have the lower capital gains tax in effect; just in case that candidate becomes the next President.

Taxes

January 17th, 2008 4:10 PM

Merlin and Carrie,

Thanks, for the posting on our blog. Sorry I have been busy since the holidays. I appreciate your comments. Maybe we can spread the word.

Well it looks like we are going to vote on the new homestead tax proposal. I wish the legislature would have been bolder to provide more tax relief. I would like to see a sales tax replace taxes on our homes. It is not fair to live in fear of losing your home due to ever increasing government growth.

Thanks, david

TAXED OUT OF YOUR HOME

April 26th, 2007 1:29 PM

We should never have allowed government to tax our homestead properties. By doing so we now have a crisis situation that threatens the security of homeowners across Florida. Due to the recent increase in property values, homeowners are now faced with the real possibility that government may take away their homes. The real estate market is faced with challenges that include out of control property taxes and inurance costs. These factors including higer cost of homes, are also keeping the real estate market depressed.

We as taxpayers need to take action by uniting and contacting our representatives. Change is needed; maybe the sales tax is the answer. We need to get taxes off our homesteads. This will help insure the future of homeowners as well as boost the real estate market.

WHAT IS THE CURRENT TREND IN FLORIDA'S REAL ESTATE MARKET?

March 1st, 2007 12:11 PM

With all the news reports about the real estate market trends, it may be hard for the average buyer to know what to do. Should you sell, buy or invest in other markets? The Florida market, especially central florida, is experiencing a gradual return. The high prices as a result of the dramatic increases of the past 2 years have left many potential home buyers out in the cold. Hang in there, there are still good buys out there. Motivated sellers are driving the market down a bit.

What do you think?
