However, a lot of paperwork and time goes into it and finding a lender with great reviews will ease much of the stress. But, the satisfaction you get from your first home closing is something you will never forget! The benefits of being a First Time Homebuyer in Allen Texas greatly outweighs renting for the following reasons:          Greater privacy.          Homes typically increase in value the...

Two weeks ago, I wrote that there are certain situations which permit the exclusion from Gross Income on a Taxpayer’s tax return, when they are the recipients of debt forgiveness that would typically be taxed.

Those exception included: Debt canceled in a Title 11 bankruptcy case. Cancellation of qualified farm indebtedness. Cancellation of qualified real property business indebtedness. Cancellation of qualified principal residence indebtedness that is discharg...
