Bubble trouble in Brazil Property prices are skyrocketing in Brazil. The construction sector is booming. And the mortgage market is expanding rapidly. But there is a growing concern that all this is unsustainable. And imbalances in the economy - an overvalued currency and high inflation - are exacerbating the dangers of the looming credit and property bubble. The average asking prices of new apartments across the country soared by 24.7% in April 2011 from a year earlier, according to Exame Magazine (using data from Ibope Intelligence, the largest Brazilian market intelligence firm). Based on the Ibope Intelligence figures, in April 2011:       *In Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro's most expensive district, the average price of        new properties rose 36% y-o-y to BRL13,031 (US$8,212) per sq. m., while the        price of existing properties increased 25% y-o-y to BRL12,134 (US$7,646)        per sq. m.       *In Jardim Paulista, Sao Paolo's most expensive district, the average price        of new properties rose 39% y-o-y to BRL9,120 per sq. m (US$5,747); the        average price of existing properties escalated 49% y-o-y to BRL6,959        (US$4,385) per sq. m. The FIPE ZAP Index of Dwelling Price Offers shows Sao Paolo dwelling prices up 25.9% during the year to April 2011, and up 83.7% over the past 3 years. In just two years (2008-2010), the average selling price of new one-bedroom apartments in São Paulo almost doubled. Newly launched two to four-bedroom apartments increased in value by between 40% and 60% over the same period, according to Embraesp, a local real estate research firm. Looking longer term, from 1996 to 2010, prices of newly launched apartments in São Paolo rose by almost 229% (131.6% in real terms), according to Embraesp, as the accompanying graph shows. For all years since 1996 price rises have been strongly positive, except in 2007, when house prices dropped slightly due

As the year draws to a close, many people in the real estate start thinking about their tax preparation and returns. Here are a few real estate-related tax deductions to remember when you're meeting with your accountant or preparing your return: 1. Mortgage interest - self explanatory 2. Settlement costs - origination points, title fees, appraisal costs, etc 3. Depreciation - a lot of people miss this one. Can get a little complicated, but generally speaking you can deduct a "depreciation in value" from your original purchase price, as if the property were to steadily drop to no value over the course of 27.5 years. 4. Maintenance & repairs - this can also get a little hairy, as not all repairs can be deducted, but basically any work done to make your rental property "properly habitable" can be deducted. 5. Property management costs - whether a monthly percentage of rental income or singular fees for tenant placement 6. Property taxes 7. PMI This list is in no way exhaustive, so speak to a real estate tax accountant, but don't pay one cent more than what's necessary to support Uncle Sam's spending habit! Uncle Sam's like a teenage daughter with her father's credit card... don't encourage him! Thanks http://www.clvgroup.com/

Change is in the air! The Daily Local News reports that investigations after the departure of two former administrators prompted the Coatesville, PA area school board to consider banning sale of delinquent property claims at tax deed auctions. At the same time, the publication reports country singer, Dickie Stickhead hopes to slow the rush to celebrate Christmas with his new music video, The Turkey Song, filmed in Kennett. Back in Coatesville, since 2005, the district has sold many of delinquent property tax claims to third parties through deals brokered by Municipal Revenue Services, a private firm. The Local Daily News obtained four years of delinquent property tax claim documents from The Harrisburg Authority, a public body in the state's capital. At a meeting of the school board's finance meeting, board member, Joe Dunn, unexpectedly proposed a motion banning the school district from making such deals in the future. Said Dunn, "For certain tax flow implications from years gone by, and credit risk reasons, the district had a policy … of selling its delinquent taxes. It made sense when you had both interest rate risk and credit risk", he said. "The credit risk came from the fact that you could delay the sale of a tax-delinquent property for years. If you had a good lawyer you could stretch it out eight, nine, 10 years. So there was some credit risk that you could allow the property to decline, then by the time the district or the tax agency was able to collect you would not be able to collect the full value of the tax because the property is deteriorated below the value of the taxes owed."

If ever there is anything like a good year to die in, it is 2010 - but only if you are a millionaire US citizen. America's 'death tax', which was repealed in 2010, is set to be introduced in the new year. Formally called the estate tax, it is levied on inheritance before it is passed on from one generation to the next. The tax was introduced in 1916 and has been in force ever since. The brief window in 2010 was the only exception, making it a freak year in which death carried a huge tax break.

In a live tax lien auction a bidder will lower his bid in one percent increments until everyone else leaves the bid or the investor's interest goes below an acceptable minimum level. In order to determine this, the investor must be clear about how low he/she is willing to go on specific properties. At that point the investor will drop out. Proxy bidding is a form of competitive sale in which bidders enter the minimum interest rate they're willing to accept for each certificate. In Maricopa County Arizona the auction system acts as an electronic agent, submitting bids on behalf of each bidder.

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Home buyers may soon win more time to get to the closing table to qualify for a federal home-buyer tax credit of up to $8,000. The House of Representatives passed the Homebuyers Assistance and Improvement Act on Tuesday to extend the deadline for the home-buyer tax credit, which would give buyers who have purchase contracts in place three more months to close on the sale. The measure still awaits approval in the Senate; a vote there could come as early as Wednesday. Under the House bill, buyers must close before Oct. 1 to be eligible for the credit. That means people who had hiccups in getting to the closing table would have a few more months to wrap things up. The closing deadline was originally June 30. To be eligible, buyers needed to have a contract in place by April 30, and that won't change through this legislation. The National Association of Realtors estimated that about 180,000 otherwise eligible buyers were likely to miss out on the credit if the original deadline was upheld. One big hurdle for buyers has been getting the mortgage approval on time, as lenders work through a clogged pipeline of applications. In the Senate, the measure to extend the closing date for these buyers is included in a bill that also would extend unemployment insurance. Majority Leader Harry Reid filed for cloture on the bill on Tuesday, and expects to have a cloture vote on the measure on Thursday, according to Reid's office. If cloture is invoked, that limits debate on the bill, bringing it a step closer to a final vote. But Reid said on the Senate floor Wednesday morning that he was working to get an agreement with Republicans to pass the House-passed tax-credit bill by unanimous consent as early as Wednesday, according to Regan Lachapelle, Reid's deputy communications director.
