This law makes 2013 one of the best years to complete a short sale or purchase a home via short sale and rent out

Hayward, Oakland, Dublin, California (PRWEB) January 08, 2013

The newly extended law is due to expire December 31, 2013. This law makes 2013 one of the best years to complete a short sale or purchase a home via short sale and rent out.This law will continue to make eligible homeowners exempt from being taxed on the debt that was forgiven by the bank in a Short Sale or Loan Modification.

Pease Limitations, which were also part of the overall agreement, were completely repealed for most people. Pease Agreements allowed the reduction of value on items through line item reductions. The new restrictions now apply to those who make $250,000.00 as individuals and $300,000 as married couples.

The passing of the law now eases the impact a non-passed law would have had on the Mortgage Interest Deduction vs. an actual dollar deduction limit, percentage deduction limit, and the overall Mortgage Interest Deduction shall be claimed under the passed legislation.
