How Palmer Chiropractic Florida Students And Parents Can Buy A Home And Save Money!
November 10th, 2007 Categories: Daytona Beach Real Estate, Port Orange Real Estate, Volusia County Schools
Many parents have called us who have wanted to invest in a piece of Port Orange Real estate for their sons or daughters attending Palmer Chiropractic Florida. They look for something close to campus for their college-bound offspring. With great prices and historically low rates it’s preferable to shelling out apartment rents.
For Palmer Chiropractic Florida students, a Port Orange house or town home/condo can offer greater freedom, a choice of roommates and great amenities. For parents, it offers a chance to recoup some of the costs by collecting rents for each room occupied by roommates. It is not uncommon to recoup $500 – $600 per room from students who want to rent a room. Rents normally cover mortgage and taxes.
Buying a Port Orange home or town home still beats paying thousands each year for student housing or renting. You can deduct the mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance and a percentage of utilities and maintenance (if you collect rents) on your income tax.
The benefits according to Lori Smith, HSBC:
-
a student does not have to have income
-
the co signer must qualify and can be a non occupying resident
-
both the student and co signer (usually parent) can be on the deed.This helps the student, as co owner, create a credit history
-
If the student is working and generating taxable income, they can accrue some tax benefits that they wouldn’t get if they were paying rent.
-
If the student lives in the Port Orange home or town home they could exempt the capital gain if they lived in the home for 2 of the past 5 years before the property is sold.
-
You will want a property you can afford that won’t be ~ hard or costly ~ to sell after graduation. Buy low now and sell high!
If you are a Palmer Chiropractic Florida student or parent and have decided to buy instead of rent, call us for a consultation before taking the plunge.
