The real estate tax information you don't want to hear about...

Postponing closings are always inconvenient but some are more painful than others.
Yesterday we postponed a transaction and don't think it will close until January.  But this is more than just a delay in closing, there are SERIOUS tax implications.

The new year brings new taxes.  A change in capital gains taxes, as well as ordinary rates (and don't forget the special Medicare tax on investment income of 3.8%.  I doesn't effect a closing directly but will effect the sellers tax return).

All together the delayed closing will increase the tax burden to the seller by $600,000!  Needless to say, negotiations are on-going.

Work hard for your clients in the last 61 days of the year.  Get those deals closed.
