Recovery: Money in Your Pocket – October 2009

Just recently the U.S. House of Representatives decided to pass a new bill that will grant an extension and expansion of the Federal Tax Credit for First-time Home Buyers. This extended tax credit will be good through April 30th, 2010 that now also includes a 60 day extension should there be a binding contract in place prior to the deadline.

The tax credit for first time home buyers will still stand at a tax credit of up to $8,000. Existing homeowners however, will receive a reduced credit of up to $6,500. In order to for existing homeowners to be eligible for the $6,500 tax credit, they have lived in their current residences for at least five years. Another change in the bill is an increasing of the qualifying income limits. Single tax filers’ income limits were once $75,000 and joint filers were once $150,000. The new qualifying income limits are $125,000 for single tax filers and $225,000 for joint filers. The purchase price of the home is capped at $800,000. These new changes are aimed to encourage existing home owners to sell their first homes in exchange for purchasing larger and more expensive homes, basically their dream homes.

Additional stipulations in the bill include the ability for taxpayers to claim the credit on purchases that are completed in 2010 on their 2009 income tax returns. The bill also maintains that the home buyers utilize the home as their primary residence for 36 months after its purchase; otherwise the credit must be repaid. However, for any active duty military personnel this requirement is waived should they need to move due to military order.

So far this tax credit has had great success. According to the California Association of Realtors, “nearly 40 percent of first-time buyers said they would not have purchased a home if the federal tax credit for first-time home buyers was not offered. This underscores the significance of the federal tax credit to the housing market’s recovery in California.”

Question: Second home vs investment property in California?

can someone help me understand the diff. between 2nd home and investment properties?
My understanding is that if i am buying a 2nd home I will get better interest rate and that interest rate is tax deductible (without income cap). It seems like there are several ways to qualify a property as a 2nd home. Can someone explain? In addition, if I buy as an investment, then tax deduction rules will not apply if income is over 150k. Is that right?
Information: I am buying a home for my parents to live for now and may convert to a rental later on. The home will be around 30 miles from my primary residence.

Answer: You are buying an investment property. In your case it does not matter what a second home is.

But, for the record….a second home is at least 60 miles from your primary residency and is located in a recognized vacation area. No one lives in it at all, and you are the ones that use it. It can not be rented out at all. As far as taxes go it is more or less like an extension of your primary residence.
