Milford, MA Real Estate News

By Christopher Hills, Managing Dir. Lending
When you’re self employed filing a Schedule C with your tax return, your chances of being audited are greater than if you were a wage earner. Why? Because the IRS suspects that you will attempt to either hide income or write off personal expenses as business deductions. Let’s face it, if all you are reporting on your tax return is income from a W2, what’s there to audit? Even if you input the numbers wrong, the IRS will match it up with the copy it got from your employer and send you a correction letter along with an adjustment to your refund or tax liability. According to various reports, audits of the self-employed are on the rise, here’s what you can do to keep the taxman off your back: via Five Audit-Proofing Tips for the Self Employed - FoxBusiness.com.   I found this to be a great...

A Milford MA home buyer should receive a brochure, Home Inspectors Facts for Consumers Sheet, at the time of the signing of the first written contract to purchase.A standard home inspection in Massachusetts is a visual examination of the physical structure and major interior systems of a residential building consisting of one to four dwelling units. It should be understood that there are certain risks inherent in the purchase of property and a home inspection is inherently limited in its scope and depth. The information gained from home inspection conforming to the Massachusetts Home Inspector Standards of Practice may reduce some of those risks, but the home inspection is not intended to provide the client with protection from all of the risks involved.

Yesterday I almost broke the record in my office for the shortest successful short sale list-to-close transaction!  There were many people to thank including my very organized seller, her wonderful attorney, the buyer's broker, the buyers and the buyers bank but the biggest thank you has to go to Saxon Mortgage! It only took 6 weeks from the receipt of the short sale package until we got the acceptance letter.  Just 6 weeks!  In total we closed in less than three months.  To top it off we got the OK to close a full week early! Sure not every short sale is the same and some have larger hurdles to overcome so maybe we just got lucky but it's proof that a short sale doesn't need to be a painful, hair pulling, OMG shoot me now experience. There are banks that have their you know what togeth...
