Help answer the question about home owner insurance
For Home Owner Insurance purposes, is an unfinised basement included in total square footage of the house?Are Insurance company underwriters not supposed to include unfinished living areas of the house when determing my total square footage of house for replace cost purposes? My premium went up even though the home inspector from Allstate did not know I had part of my house that is unfinished. I was not home at the time when he did this home based underwriting square footage procedure.
Okay, I'm in the US, but most of this should be the same:
1) Theoretically you are obligated to pay the tow yard for the storage costs incurred. It's going to keep rising the longer it's there.
2) Not sure if I understand this one. You seem to be asking if your accident/claims history will show "no claims". Over here, claims don't count until something is paid out.
3) If the tow yard isn't paid for the storage, they will sell the moped, then bill you for the storage costs. They will send it out to a collection agency. Storage costs can usually be negotiated. The tow yard would rather get something than nothing.
4) Cancel your old policy, have them pro-rate your premium back to the date that it was stolen. You should have a police report to confirm the date that the moped was nicked. The insurance company should refund you any unused premium from this date forward.
Good luck.
It depends on what type of loan you have (recourse or non-recourse), how much you owe, and whether or not the house could be sold or foreclosed for as much as you owe on it.
The mortgage bank for the rental property will most likely take you to court, and eventually move to foreclose on the rental property. If there is not enough equity in the house for them to get paid, then the next step depends on whether it is a loan with recourse or non-recourse.
If it is non-recourse, then that means the only collateral the bank has is this rental property and they have to take a loss on any shortfall. If it is recourse, they can come after your primary home, and either file a lien against your primary home, and in extreme cases, try to garnish your wages or bank account.
All of these options are expensive and complicated. If you want to stay in the rental business, try to find a loan to fix the roof and get another tenant in there ASAP. Maybe you could find a roofer who needs a new place to live and will do the work in exchange for the first month's rent free if you pay for materials.
Without a car they can't quote you a rate or sell you insurance. It's based on the type of car and written against the specific car not the driver. Test driving the cars is fine as the owner should have it insured. Then when you find the one you want to buy take the information to an agent and purchase insurance against it in your name.
I see it the same way you do.
BTW: The insurance companies pulled out of Florida, as well, and this contributed in large part to the housing bust (in my opinion). Even if you had buyers willing to pay the price, they couldn't get insurance = no sale.
It's always good to see someone who has done some solid research before asking a question! Your analysis is correct, and shows that your points are eligible to be deducted as interest. On your specific items #2-3: two points (2%) is well within the range of "established business practice" in most areas and would not be questioned by the IRS — you could ask your real estate agent or lawyer if you want local reassurance.
On the "cost basis" of the house, you are correct in saying that you must reduce the stated cost of the house by the amount of points paid by the seller. For example, suppose the house cost $200,000 plus two points ($4,0000). You paid a total of $200,000 (including mortgage funds from the bank) to the seller, then the seller paid $4,000 to the bank. Since you didn't come up with $204,000 yourself, but only $200,000, then the amount you paid is $4,000 in points plus $196,000 for the house. That $196,000 is the "cost basis," which you must use as the cost of the house when you claim the home-buyer credit. This is so that you are not claiming tax benefits twice on the $4,000 — once when deducting points and again when claiming the tax credit. If you decide not to deduct the $4,000 points paid by the seller, your "cost basis" for the house will be $200,000. Of course, your numbers will differ from this example, but none of the other numbers in your closing statement (for broker commissions, survey, prepaid property taxes, etc., etc.) will affect the outcome of your analysis.
Good luck in your new home!
If only people could relate what happened to our educational system after the govt installed the Dept of Education to the complete takeover of health care, many eyes would be opened to the dangers.
And to think… the Dept of Education only meddled in the private markets' affairs on a smaller scale, and look at what it did.
Obamacare will wreck our economy without a doubt.
