DISADVANTAGES OF INSTALLMENT SALES
June 10th, 2010 11:11 AM
DISADVANTAGES OF INSTALLMENT SALES
What if Buyer Defaults?

If buyer defaults, foreclosure is the seller's remedy. Foreclosure costs some money for an attorney, and takes some time. Fortunately, the probability of this is low.

  • Since 1948, of all FHA loans in the United States, approximately 6.5 percent have been foreclosed.
  • Since 1947, of all VA loans in the United States approximately 5.5 percent have been foreclosed (1997-98-99 fiscal year report says that the foreclosure rate is at 4 percent)
  • Since recordkeeping began on conventional loans, approximately 3.5 percent have been foreclosed.

Nationally, approximately 4 percent of all loans end up in foreclosure. That means 96 percent of all mortgages are paid. What, then, is the probability of foreclosure when the buyer puts down $30,000 on the purchase of a $110,000 property? Extremely low! What if $15,000 down? What if $5,000 down? Obviously, the smaller the down payment is, the greater the risk of foreclosure.

ADVANTAGES OF AN INSTALLMENT SALE
June 10th, 2010 11:08 AM

The advantages to the seller(s) include:

  • Fast closing, for this type of sale gets the property off the market, and the seller receives some of the proceeds in just a few days
  • Creation of an annuity for the seller and heirs
  • Future property taxes paid by buyer(s)
  • Buyer purchases homeowner insurance policy showing the seller as first mortgagee
  • Buyer responsible for all future maintenance
  • Seller collects negotiated interest rate instead of depositing sales proceeds in a bank at a lower interest rate
  • If seller in a lower tax bracket at retirement would pay even less taxes on the interest portion of the installment payments
  • Installment sale often used when the property needs repairs and does not qualify for VA/FHA financing

Another advantage is that this type of sale spreads the capital gains tax over the 15 years. Taxes are paid only on the portion of the capital gain received in each year. The total payments are broken down and taxes paid as follows:

  1. Interest: Federal and state taxes, no Social Security, or Medicare
  2. Cost basis portion: No tax
  3. Depreciated capital gain: 25 percent (recapture)
  4. Appreciated capital gain: 15 percent maximum (could be as low as 5 percent)

Capital gain tax rate increases after Jan 1st.
June 10th, 2010 11:07 AM

Capital Gain Tax Rate Increases after Jan. 1, 2011.

Unless Congress does otherwise, the current capital gain tax rate of 15% will “sunset” at the end of 2010. The capital gain tax rate on the sale of real estate will revert to 20% on January 1, 2011. Also, beginning in 2013, there will be a 3.8% Medicare tax on certain investment income, including capital gains subject to income tax. The new tax will apply to single taxpayers with taxable income over $200,000 and married ones with income over $250,000.

Taxpayers doing a like-kind exchange, regardless of income, will be able to defer capital gains of 20% starting in 2011 along with the depreciation recapture tax of 25%. And beginning in 2013, affected taxpayers can defer their capital gain and Medicare Contribution tax (imposed by the 2010 Reconciliation Act) by deferring the gain through a 1031 like-kind exchange for which Realty Exchange Corporation acts as the qualified intermediary.
