Can I build a home on family land where my name is not on title
Comments (19)net4u2k - I used to be a real estate paralegal...I've seen LOADS of issues. Most of the issues dealt with people who swore that "it would never be a problem because my family isn't like that". It can, and does happen. More often than the average person realizes. I would highly suggest not putting yourself or your sibling in a position where it might possibly adversely affect your relationship somewhere years down the line. If she's an important person to you, value that and keep from getting into a position where that could possibly at some point get tainted. Your relationship could be rock solid right now...but think on this for a moment - many people (I'd venture the vast majority) who get married do NOT believe that their marriage will end in divorce. Hard numbers and public records show that not to be the case...unfortunately, things can and do go sour with relationships of any sort for any number of reasons that we can't foresee happening. There are ways around your issue. But, you need to hire an attorney (most likely one that works extensively with trusts), not just ask for free advice on a public forum....See MoreOur Own Personal Dieting Food & Drink Land Mines: a GTKY
Comments (22)1) When you're hungry and wanting a snack, are you more likely to crave a sweet or salty/spicy snack? if it's the daytime, something salty/spicy... late at night after dinner, then usually something sweet. 2) The 3 junk-type foods that are hardest for you to resist: doritos LOVE tostitos with either a good con queso dip or guacomole-i can eat many calories with those! chewy candy--swedish fish, twizzlers, gummy lifesaves, etc. or peppermint patties. 3) Complete the following sentence: Do NOT bring any ________ into this house, because I can (will?) personally eat all of it . . . or at least waaay too much! i'm really good if it's in the house UNOPENED! lol. i usually can resist opening something, but once it's open, forget it-usually doritos, etc. 4) Although you may not eat at fast food restaurants a lot, what are your 3 favorite yummy-but-not-very-good-for you foods and from where? i really hardly ever eat fast food, but if i do i tend to order the 'wraps'... mcdonalds have them and wendy's have the chicken caeser wraps which i'll eat. i'm not big into burgers and only like the fries if they're HOT and CRISPY, which is often so hit and miss that i don't bother! 5) At nicer restaurants, what 2 or 3 foods do you have to force yourself not to order? i'll often pass on the french onion soup and choose something healthier even though i LOVE a good french onion soup crock with melted cheese and crusty bread!! i love all pastas, but will steer away sometimes to order something lighter. i love a really good carrot cake and if i see someplace has one that looks REALLY good, it's hard to pass! 6) Favorite comfort foods at home that are (sigh!) yummy but fat and/or calories-wise not that great for you or your waistline? i love making/eating pasta carbonara, but only do so occasionally. love creamy soups---buying fat free half and half makes me feels better but they still often have butter...(currently have broccoli and cheese soup leftover in the fridge--YUM!!) LOVE fruit pies/cobblers. 7) Favorite drink that you wish was "no calorie"? sweet drinks like margaritas sweet wines, like white zinfandel-love it! love chocolate coffee creamers---would be great if they were 0 calorie and still tasted great!! 8) What are 3 of your favorite "more healthful foods" to (try and) fall back on when the cravings hit? i guess popcorn is better than chips, but i usually don't really fall back on it... i buy those mini flavored rice cakes and feel better about those! i often will order fish or salad in restaurants- to either avoid fat or increase my veggie consumption! will order sorbet at the end of a meal when i'm really craving a dessert, but don't want the calories. 9) Favorite more healthful drinks? peppermint tea (with honey), icewater....See Morecapital gains tax on mobile homes on leased land?
Comments (2)If you have been deducting mortgage interest on your past taxes, you home is probably considered real estate. But, there is an exemption of $250,000 for you and another for your wife if you have lived there at least two years. I find it hard to believe you would owe any taxes on a trailer. If you haven't been deducting mortgage interest, who knows you have it anyway?...See MoreDid you relocate just so you could own a home?
Comments (13)Sort of, in our case. We actually had a home in NoNJ and after being there five years we just couldn't afford it anymore due to ever-increasing property taxes and my husband getting laid off in 2003 and not finding a full-time job (he got into real estate which helped, but money wasn't steady as he was "new" to it). By early this year we were broke and about to lose our house. So we put it on the market, sold it pretty quickly (which was fortunate as our market was softening) and moved to South Carolina where I was able to find a job and we found a house within a month of moving here (we were in a rental apartment when we arrived here). We have been blessed and it was the best decision we could have made. Cost of living is less down here whereas my salary didn't reduce THAT much (I'm a secretary). We had a healthy downpayment on the new house and with lower property taxes our mortgage payment was cut by half due to the move. If you are able to save for a downpayment I recommend doing that FIRST. Have a NICE BIG downpayment for your budgeted house price. This will make it that much easier when you move to your new area. I highly recommend Fort Mill, SC, where we relocated. It's close to Charlotte, NC and the beach and snowskiing are within a few hours drive....See Morebrickeyee
