Bankruptcy Filings Are Spiking! Team Thayer #RealEstate #housing #market #investor #news #oregon

For the second straight month, bankruptcy filings increased substantially over-the-month in March 2016, this time rising by 17.4 percent up to a total of 78,332 for the month, according to March 2016 AACER bankruptcy data reported by Epiq Systems on Thursday.

March’s over-the-month spike occurred one month after the number of filings rose by 24 percent from January to February. March 2016’s total of filings was 3,361 lower than March 2015’s total of 81,693.
Year-to-date, for the first three months of 2016, there have been 195,565 bankruptcy filings nationwide, a decline of about 5 percent from the total of 205,703 for the first three months of 2015. There were 231,839 filings for the first three months of 2014.
March 2016 did contain three more filings days than in February (23 compared to 20) but still would have had about 5,000 more filings than in February without those three extra days based on the average number of filings per day in March of 3,406. By comparison, there were 3,234 filings per day over 20 filing days in February and 2,766 filings per day over 19 filing days in January. So far in 2016, there have been 3,154 filings per day over 62 filing days in the first three months.

Understanding the tax advantages and disadvantages of homeownership #realestate #taxadvantage #taxes #housing #market

It’s no secret that some of the major perks of homeownership are the tax write-offs and advantages that follow the purchase. In fact, according to a 2015 survey by the National Association of Realtors, 80% of homebuyers see homeownership as a good investment, and 43% think it’s better than investing in the stock market. Reaping the rewards of mortgage interest and property tax deductions is just one way to think of your home as an investment. But there are even more real estate–related tax advantages and disadvantages that can slip under a new homeowner’s radar. It can be relatively easy to trigger tax liabilities or perks (and then fail to claim them) on that new piece of  Eugene, Or, real estate . This is why it’s essential to touch base with your tax pro before every real estate transaction, no matter how minor a question you may have.

Will you conduct a few simple cosmetic upgrades (like these  10 rehab projects you finish in one weekend )? Or, is the home nice enough to sell after  an easy prehab ? Are there structural damages that will require you to carry out more major renovations? Will you focus on implementing environmentally friendly renovations  – also known as “greenhabbing” – so that you  qualify for certain tax benefits ? Once you’ve determined your strategy, it is important to ask yourself these specific questions before diving into the construction action: What are the current market conditions in my area? What does my ideal buyer look like? Does my marketing cam...
