Buy Or Sell Property

Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions an individual will ever make. Our real estate reporters and editors focus on educating consumers about this life-changing transaction and how to navigate the complex and ever-changing housing market. From finding an agent to closing and beyond, our goal is to help you feel confident that you're making the best, and smartest, real estate deal possible.
In a perfect world, your next house would be ready and waiting as soon as you turn over the keys to your previous one. But of course, the world is not perfect, and the timing between selling one home and buying the next does not always line up the way you want it to. Take heart, though, because a little planning and working with a savvy real estate agent can help make both transactions run more smoothly.
Of course you want to get the best possible price on the sale of your home, and not to overpay for the next one. But consider the timing of the closing process as well when negotiating both deals. The closing date can be one of the most important details when negotiating a sale. The goal is to get both the buyer of your current home and the seller of your next home to agree to adjacent closings or any necessary contingencies. You can even arrange for back-to-back escrow, in which the proceeds from the sale go directly to the purchase of the new property.
Per Act No. 581 of the 2022 Regular Session of the Legislature, the Residential Property Disclosure Form has been updated to include an additional question (No. 45) regarding restrictive covenants and/or building restrictions of the subject property. This form is available for use now and will become mandatory on January 1, 2023.
Similarly, cash homebuying companies also allow you to sell a home fast. These companies make all-cash offers and may be able to finalize a sale in as little as one week, and they often handle all of the required closing paperwork for you as well.
Deciding to sell your home, whether now or later, is a major decision that requires careful consideration. Your future plans and goals should be a significant part of the equation, as well as your financial needs and the realities of the current market. If you decide to proceed with listing your home, working with an experienced Realtor is a smart move. A real estate agent who knows your community well can help you price a home effectively, which will increase the chances of a quick and smooth sale.
You need to know when you married and when you separated to figure out what's separate property and what's community property. The day of your marriage is generally easy to figure out. Separation can be trickier.
For some people, this is the day they moved out. For others, this is a day the two spouses agreed together that their marriage was over, and they made plans to divorce. Generally, from that day forward, what you or your spouse earned or loans you took out were no longer community property.
If you bought a car with money that only you earned while married, the car is community property even though the money used to pay for it was earned by you and not your spouse. It doesn't matter if only you drive it.
You had a car from before you married. You got married. You sold the car and used all that money (and no other money) to buy a different car. That car is your separate property even though you bought it while married.
One spouse has a retirement benefit from a job they had since before they married. The contributions made to the plan before the marriage are separate property. The contributions made while married are community property. After they separate, the new contributions are separate property.
The property and debts part of a divorce can be complicated, especially if you have anything of high value or a lot of debt. You may want to talk to a lawyer before you file or sign any property agreements. You can consult a lawyer just to help with the property and debts part of your case.
Also, if you use a mortgage, or operate a business on the property, such as a hotel, you need to plan for Unrelated Business Income Taxes. In most cases, you can eliminate this tax with an offshore UBIT blocker corporation.
Another way to defer US capital gains tax is to swap your foreign investment property for another foreign investment property. If you want to exchange one property for another, you can structure a 1031 exchange.
Note that the properties being exchanged must be similar (like kind) and both must be outside of the United States. You can exchange one US property for another US property, and one foreign property for another foreign property, but you can exchange a foreign property for a US property.

Even if you are legally allowed to represent yourself in a real estate transaction, it might not always be a good idea. There are several factors to be cautious about when considering if you should represent yourself when buying or selling a property.
Enlisting the help of an agent that is familiar with the area can benefit you if you are moving to a new market, or looking to purchase in a neighborhood you might not be familiar with. Working with an agent who knows the nuances of the area will allow you to understand the pricing of the property and ensure important factors like safety, return on investment and any upcoming neighborhood developments are known before you purchase the home.
There are certainly pros and cons to getting your real estate license with the sole purpose of buying or selling your own property. Aside from saving money, you can also grow your network and potentially discover a new career path.
TL;DR: Real estate agents can represent themselves when they buy or sell a house. But, they must disclose they are an agent and choosing to represent themselves to the other party. For some people, representing yourself is a smart move but, for others, it could be a burden.
Taxation on residential property sales is a complex area of Mexican tax law and every case will be slightly different depending on the circumstances. Also, keep in mind that tax laws are subject to reform and because house purchases tend to be long-term investments, the tax laws which apply today might apply entirely, in-part, or not at all when you come to sell your property years from now.
These are the key principles of residential property taxation as of the date of this article, and guidelines here are intended to help you compose an estimate of the taxes you will be expected to account for when you sell a residential property in Mexico. (Different tax rules and rates apply when you sell commercial property.)
Taxes due on the sale of residential property are calculated by the Notary Public, who also withholds these amounts for direct transfer to the Mexican Treasury. The tax law makes each Notary Public fully liable for taxes due, so they will absolutely ensure that the rules have been followed and certify that sellers qualify for any exemptions and deductions they are claiming for tax relief.
Mexico applies a capital gains tax on residential property of 25% on the gross sales value of the transaction without any deductions OR between 1.92% and 35% on the value of the gain (purchase costs less allowable exemptions and deductions): the percentage is calculated on a sliding scale in relation to the gain and we recommend you assume 35% as residential property sales with a gain above $250,000 pesos (c.$13,000 US dollars) will be subject to this rate.
A one-time tax allowance exemption is available under Article 92, Fraction XIX a) of Mexican income tax law that reduces the tax liability for many family homes, although you and the property must meet certain criteria to qualify for the exemption:
* Mexican income tax law does not expressly state whether the foreign person selling a property must have temporary or permanent residency status to avail themselves of capital gain tax exemptions; it does, however, expressly state that the seller must be selling his/her primary residence in order to qualify for tax exemptions on capital gains. The Notary Public dealing with the matter will interpret the law; some will apply the capital gains exemptions only if the seller has residente permanente status; some Notary Public offices may apply the exemptions to foreign residents with residente temporal status. You can read about the differences in these two residency statuses on our Mexican visas and immigration page.

You can sell your home without a real estate agent. This is known as "for sale by owner." It can save you money, as you will not have to pay a commission to a listing agent. However, you will have to do more work on your own. You will likely still need to cover the fee of a buyer's agent, even if you do not have a listing agent working for you."}},{"@type": "Question","name": "How can I sell my home quickly?","acceptedAnswer": {"@type": "Answer","text": "In a seller's market, your home likely will sell quickly. However, if properties are sitting on the market for a while in your area, you may be able to trade it in or use an iBuyer. You might not make as much profit as you would on a traditional sale, but you can get an offer and sell quickly. You may also be able to avoid many costs typically associated with selling."}},{"@type": "Question","name": "What do I do if my home isn't selling?","acceptedAnswer": {"@type": "Answer","text": "If your home isn't selling, you may be able to rent it out for a short while until the market improves, or offer prospective buyers a rent-to-own option. If you are relocating for a job, you can also ask your new employer whether they have a guaranteed purchase program. If you have some flexibility in your timing and finances, you can take your home off the market, wait for conditions to change, and then list it again and see whether you have better luck."}}]}]}] .cls-1{fill:#999}.cls-6{fill:#6d6e71} Skip to contentThe BalanceSearchSearchPlease fill out this field.SearchSearchPlease fill out this field.BudgetingBudgeting Budgeting Calculator Financial Planning Managing Your Debt Best Budgeting Apps View All InvestingInvesting Find an Advisor Stocks Retirement Planning Cryptocurrency Best Online Stock Brokers Best Investment Apps View All MortgagesMortgages Homeowner Guide First-Time Homebuyers Home Financing Managing Your Loan Mortgage Refinancing Using Your Home Equity Today's Mortgage Rates View All EconomicsEconomics US Economy Economic Terms Unemployment Fiscal Policy Monetary Policy View All BankingBanking Banking Basics Compound Interest Calculator Best Savings Account Interest Rates Best CD Rates Best Banks for Checking Accounts Best Personal Loans Best Auto Loan Rates View All Small BusinessSmall Business Entrepreneurship Business Banking Business Financing Business Taxes Business Tools Becoming an Owner Operations & Success View All Career PlanningCareer Planning Finding a Job Getting a Raise Work Benefits Top Jobs Cover Letters Resumes View All MoreMore Credit Cards Insurance Taxes Credit Reports & Scores Loans Personal Stories About UsAbout Us The Balance Financial Review Board Diversity & Inclusion Pledge View All Follow Us Budgeting Budgeting Calculator Financial Planning Managing Your Debt Best Budgeting Apps Investing Find an Advisor Stocks Retirement Planning Cryptocurrency Best Online Stock Brokers Best Investment Apps Mortgages Homeowner Guide First-Time Homebuyers Home Financing Managing Your Loan Mortgage Refinancing Using Your Home Equity Today's Mortgage Rates Economics US Economy Economic Terms Unemployment Fiscal Policy Monetary Policy Banking Banking Basics Compound Interest Calculator Best Savings Account Interest Rates Best CD Rates Best Banks for Checking Accounts Best Personal Loans Best Auto Loan Rates Small Business Entrepreneurship Business Banking Business Financing Business Taxes Business Tools Becoming an Owner Operations & Success Career Planning Finding a Job Getting a Raise Work Benefits Top Jobs Cover Letters Resumes More Credit Cards Insurance Taxes Credit Reports & Scores Loans Financial Terms Dictionary About Us The Balance Financial Review Board Diversity & Inclusion Pledge Mortgages & Home Loans Homeowner GuideSelling Your HomeWhy Do People Sell Their Homes?The Top Reasons Homeowners Make a Move 781b155fdc
