Back on April 19th , I wrote about the New York AMC law in my Housing Notes newsletter. After years of AMCs chipping away at the public trust, the New York AMC law was designed to protect the consumer. The bill summary was: Relates to the registration of real estate appraisal management companies or an individual or business entity that provides appraisal management services to creditors or to secondary mortgage market participants including affiliates by the department of state.

Even in the best-case scenario, divorce is a difficult and emotional time for any couple. Besides child custody, deciding the fate of the family home is often one of the major issues and sources of conflict. Not only is there an emotional attachment to the family home, but it is usually the most significant shared asset and the result of years of financial investment for both parties.

You’re a real estate agent and after a lot of back-and-forth, give-and-take, offers and counteroffers, you’ve helped your client negotiate a sweet price for their home. All the work getting the property ready for listing, the extensive marketing, the numerous showings, the sometimes tedious offer evaluations has paid off. There has been a meeting of the minds, the contract has been signed and everyone is anticipating a smooth closing.

We know that investing in real estate is a proven method to build wealth, and thankfully our country’s tax laws are generally real estate friendly. The new federal tax law, which took effect with the current tax-filing season, provides real estate investors with some additional tax benefits that didn’t exist before, but it could also create confusion.

4/1/19. Mixing up my monthly run related to how the market is doing (not looking at prices, only supply and absorption). The current monthly stats, run today, show most markets with limited inventory compared to the past 12-months sales, with only Dexter and Saline running over three months’ worth of inventory. Both of these markets have an abundance of new construction and that is considered to be partly to blame for the higher supply levels.
