9 Important Tax Deductions for Homeowners and Landlords 

 

It is the time of year again when you take a walk down memory lane reminiscing about the major events of the prior year.  This exercise is not for reliving the joy of days gone by, but rather a necessary evil of filing yet another federal income tax return.  We previously discussed "Military Tax Tips and Resources", but for individuals whom entered the real estate market this year or became a landlord, there are several tax deductions that you will want to explore in order to reap the tax benefits of home ownership.

 

Mortgage Interest

 

Your mortgage lender will mail you an IRS Form 1098 that will document the total mortgage interest paid for the year. This amount is (as of now) is 100% deductible on your federal income tax return and is the largest tax benefit of homeownership. Deducting the monies you pay each month to the lending institution that funded your mortgage can greatly change your overall tax liability.

How to Avoid Home Buyer's Remorse

NBC Nightly News reported this week that home prices are rising faster than they have since the peak of the housing bubble in 2006. Pair this with low home inventory, rising rental rates and more first-time buyers and we have frenzy in the housing market. But buying a home under pressure can quickly lead to the path of buyer's remorse. For military families, this pressure can be intensified due to the need to find housing near their next duty station in a moments notice.

 

There is nothing worse than regretting one of the largest purchases you will make in your lifetime, so let's discuss the ways to avoid this pitfall.

12 Tips for Surviving Your Next PCS Move

 

After sixteen military moves as a military spouse and countless number of "move assists" (helping friends move), I have learned a few lessons about making those stressful days go smoothly. I have learned a lot since that first PCS when I drove frantically across the country through the night, because I mistakenly thought we could reap the monies that we would have spent on hotels! OH how foolish, but true! There were many lessons to be learned, but here are a few ideas for the pack out days.

  1. Be ready when they arrive. I have had 5 packers show up to pack us out in one day and one man come for 4 days to do all the work himself. If five guys/gals with tape and boxes show up at your door, you better be ready! No dirty dishes or clothes in the hamper! Take all of the trash out. 

     

  2. Designate one room in your house as a "NO PACK" zone. Even it means moving everything out of that room first, find a space that you can use to put your suitcases, kid gear, pet gear and everything that you want to travel with you. It's a safe zone, not only for your stuff, but sometimes just to escape without getting in the way.

Testimonial 

Thank you. Your website is user friendly and easy to navigate. I heard from a friend to advertise our rental property through MilitaryByOwner. We had several inquiries asking more information about the house within a week. Way above our expectations our house rented within two weeks of posting it on MilitaryByOwner. Greatly appreciate your support.
