Home owners across the region are cashing in on the current
high-dollar rental market and buying larger, move-up homes with
special, zero down home loans for second-time buyers. Read on and
learn how you can buy-up and not lose your equity:
The number
of rental homes available in the market has steadily declined since
tax reforms enacted by congress in 1986 wiped away most of the
incentives for investors to acquire rental properties. The most
plentiful source of new rental homes are coming from individual
homeowners converting their existing residences to rental
property.
According to tax experts, individual
homeowners who convert their residence to a rental property can
still take advantage of tremendous tax breaks.
In the past,
homeowners have used the equity from the sale of their old home as a
down payment for a larger move-up home, but with home prices
stagnant in recent years, move-up buyers have not yet accumulated
the equity needed for a down payment on a larger home. The
alternative is to keep the old home as a rental and use personal
savings as a down payment or use a zero down loan to buy the move-up
home.
David and Deborah recently chose to scrap their
plans of selling their townhouse and kept it as a rental home. They
left their existing equity in the townhouse and bought a
single-family home with a zero down conventional loan. They receive
$50 more per month on the rent than the mortgage payment.
