Port Orange Property Tax Pending and Florida Health Insurance Call to Action
April 30th, 2008 Categories: 1st Time Port Orange Home Buyers, Daytona Beach Real Estate, Port Orange Real Estate, Volusia County Taxes
I received this very important email today from John Sebree regarding FLorida Property Tax reform and more.
Contact Your Legislators Today!
The Florida Legislature is set to adjourn Friday evening. Much has been accomplished, but there is still work to be done! With this Call to Action we have customized letters making it simple for you contact your Senator and your Representative with separate messages. The message to the Florida Senate is to take action on pending property tax and health insurance legislation. The message to members of the Florida House is a “thank you” for passing so many meaningful property tax reform measures and an encouragement to keep working towards a compromise on health insurance legislation.

Port Orange Appraised Value vs. Port Orange Market Value | Port Orange Real Estate Discussion
April 25th, 2008 Categories: 1st Time Port Orange Home Buyers, Mortgage Center, Port Orange Real Estate
It seems like Port Orange appraisers, Port Orange investors, Port Orange sellers, Port Orange loan officers, and Port Orange Realtors are all on different pages when it comes to determining a home’s value.
Here are a few challenges in this area:
1. Port Orange sellers think that their home is worth $200,000 more than the model match next door because they have fresh paint, a new sink, and their carpets were recently cleaned.
2. Some Port Orange Loan officers don’t know where to start or how to educate their refi clients and investors on what actually gives a home value.
3. Some Port Orange listing agents need to educate their clients to show them the difference between appraised and marketing value.
4. Some new Port Orange investors have heard that fresh paint and an extra bathroom will give them a huge return on a “Flip”.
Any ideas for discussion about Port Orange Appraised value vs. Port Orange Market Value?

Port Orange Short Sales Tax Information | Port Orange FL Real Estate
April 20th, 2008 Categories: Daytona Beach Real Estate News, Port Orange Real Estate, Port Orange Short Sales, Title News
Important Tax information shared by Sue Rogers, Manager and Licensed Title AGent of True Title, Inc., 1265 W. Granada Blvd., Ste 1, Ormond Beach, FL 32174.
On December 20th, Bush signed into law a measure that will change the tax effects for a homeowner in foreclosure. These are critical changes that may change your client’s outlook on a deal (in fact…maybe you lost a deal last year because of this tax burden…it may not be too late to call that client back and revive the deal!)
In a nutshell: If a homeowner who was in foreclosure worked out a short sale agreement with their lender, the amount of debt that the lender “wrote off” is considered as ordinary income to the seller. That means if you negotiated a $50,000 reduction in the payoff to help get the property sold, that seller would have to claim that $50,000 as taxable income on their tax returns (resulting in a potential tax bill between $7,500 and $17,500). Some sellers decided NOT to sell on a short sale for this very reason…but that’s where this new law comes in!
