For those new to the thread, basically going to try to :scrooge: on a house that requires some expert level pinshitting in a :waxer: area that we can't otherwise "afford" five streets up from the Bag End 1.0 (BE 1.0). Lower property taxes, better services, nicer houses, all the good stuff.

Have significant "profit" in BE 1.0, but we're not selling unless we can :scrooge: to the new house.

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/46-C ... 2581_zpid/

List: $425k
Offer: $405k

Considered a "low ball" and the listing agent doesn't like our lender and doesn't want to present the offer to his clients.

Yep, :dillerman: games. Claims he's had bad experiences with the lender and refuses to work with them. Meanwhile, I'm personal friends with my mortgage banker and my sister works for the company, so we're a bit VIP status.

We're getting multiple $k off closing costs with this lender. If they want us to switch, offer goes down.

This thing might be done before it's even begun.

House was listed for 500k just before thanksgiving, which fucked it. Not to mention, the inside is terrible from a cosmetic standpoint. But, roof new in the last 5 years, furnace replaced this year, electrical updated last year before sail, copper plumbing throughout. Most houses in this hood start at 500.

BUT, the listing agent claims the sellers are stuck on the original 500 list price and struggled to come down to the current $425. We've been warned that $405 will be considered a lowball. And now this lender :bs:

Quite an experience to say the least.

So basically this is a Zhukov car buy thread. Here's my lowball offer, I hope you're being deported in a month and have to take it or you'll get nothing. We're here to rape and pillage the land. Fuck the rest.

Haven't they been living in it long enough that it won't be taxable? I got fucked on that when I sold my house since I rented it for the last 3 years of ownership.

It is always taxable... any home "gainz" minus your bi-annual exemption... which may or may not have been "used up"

We've lived there for over 2 years, capital gainz doesn't apply to primary residences when you've lived at it for longer than 2 years.

Unless :thankstrump: changed that? I should do some homework.

The other major restriction is that you can only benefit from this exemption once every two years. Therefore, if you have two homes and lived in both for at least two of the last five years, you won't be able to sell both of them tax free.

You should be good to :plac:

:wrong:

Not if primary residence for 3 years and not if you make OVER $250k or $500k for married... I dont see anyone of us plebs making $250k from a "flip"
When you sell your home, the capital gains on the sale are exempt from capital gains tax. Based on the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, if you are single, you will pay no capital gains tax on the first $250,000 you make when you sell your home. Married couples enjoy a $500,000 exemption.

We have put $80k into it, :doe:
