<<[b]In her initial post she said “I know if I resell my property within 12 months of purchase date, my property will be taxed as ordinary income.”
and you said “Keep concise records, deduct all that you can legally, and pay the tax on the rest.” Wow, thanks I am sure that she didn’t know that, come on man where is the advice in that?[/b]>>
What did you want me to do lie and say:
(1) No, don’t worry it’s not taxable at all,
(2) Just report it as capital gains at the lower rate,
(3) Use a 1031 tax deferred exchange and hide the evidence,
(4) Or the correct advice, which was given.
<<When did I ever badmouth the advice given on this board? Did you even read the entire post before you flew off the handle and started foaming at the mouth? >>
As a matter of fact, yes I did read the entire post…please decipher for me, “Let me be real honest with you. No one on this board is going to help you with this or give you advice. I am not sure exactly why this is but IMO it is either because they have no experience themselves or they don’t want to give up good information for free. I believe that most people are not doing enough deals to truly worry about asset protection and IMO this absolutely includes figuring out how to pay less taxes. Anyone can argue with me if they like but at the end of the day, they will be paying capital gains at their personal income tax rate while I will not be.”…looks like a slam on the posters here to me. Tell me how I should interpret this differently.
<<Never done a deal? I’m 24 and own two pieces of property I wouldn’t consider that nothing. >>
Again, intepret YOUR OWN words, “I will be the first to admit I have not done any deals but I am starting.” Gee, “haven’t done any deals” sounds like what I said “haven’t done a deal”…again tell me how your own words are supposed to be interpreted. You either lied then or you’re lying now…which is it?
<<Also this is a FORUM, I have the right to express my opinion in any way that I feel necessary as long as it stays within the rules of this site.>>
As do I and I did…I think I’m “spot on” with my assessment.
Here are some of your other posts just to refresh your memory:
“Really, no kidding! What are you talking about it is only worth wholesale? I would get more calls if I priced it at 18? I could get rid of it in five minutes if I priced it at 10k and gave away a hooker with it, is that properly priced? What is your point here. It is only worth wholesale to a dealer perhaps. I never asked you for your opinion on the price, I know what I need to get out of it and what I owe. Anyway do you know what I paid for it or what it was worth after I drove away?”
“On a car take over payments that is insane. I’m not doing it because I can’t afford it I have plenty of money I just don’t want it on my credit report and want to decrease my cash outflow for debt to income purposes.”
“Surely you have a relevant example of what we are talking about in all of the deals you have done?”
Here’s “the book” on you…you ask a question. If you don’t like the answer or if it’s not what you’re looking for the poster is “insane”. Then you rant about some sort of conspiracy threory designed to keep newbie real estate investors in their place and use it to make themselves millionaires.
Get real. Grow up. We didn’t write the tax code, we just live with it. I don’t like taxes anymore than anyone else but at least that I know if I’m paying taxes, I’m making an income. If you can’t pay the taxes, don’t do the deal and if you can’t stand the answer, don’t ask the question.
…and as far as “I am going to recommend that you if you don’t like the answers that you take your act elsewhere…” it means just what it says. If you feel as though the answers here aren’t measuring up, I recommend you go in search of a forum where they do…maybe:
