Always a great party!

If searching the Lake of the Ozarks area for foreclosures, you’ll notice in the MLS comments a line that reads “This is a Fannie Mae HomePath property you can purchase for as little as 3% down.”

Sounds great, right? The problem is that it must be your primary residence to qualify for this low down payment option. The good news is you can buy with as little as 10% down, IF you use the right lender.

Lake of the Ozarks, last year in condominiums sold, there were 28 foreclosure sales by June 24th, 2010. In the same period in 2011, there have only been 17 foreclosure condominium sales. There has been a decline in foreclosure sales and a not surprising increase in average sale price and price per square foot this year.

Now is the time to take advantage of this market, before it goes up and the deals become fewer and far between. Call John Garrett 573-480-6420

Lake of the Ozarks Condominiums sold in May were a strong dollar volume of $8,560,140. The average sale price was $174,697. That is much higher than the yearly average of $159,515.

An early preview of June sales shows fewer 2011 sales year to date, but a higher average sale price and a higher price per square foot.

Foreclosures sold in June 2011month to date were 2, the same period in 2010 there were 6 foreclosure sales. Foreclosure condos sales are definitely declining this year over last.

Here are a few good commercial or rental residential deals in Lake Ozark/Osage Beach. Now is a great time to buy one of these properties, the rental market is very strong and there is no new construction to compete with. At these prices, you will not have competition for these properties in the future either. You can 1031 exchange another highly appreciated property and start a new depreciation schedule, or even use your self directed IRA to buy one of these great opportunities.

The IRS wants you to be responsible for making sure anyone doing more than $600 of work gets an IRS form 1099 from you, the owner! That’s not per job over $600, that is a cumulative number for the year! You will need their name, social security # or Tax ID#, address, and the total amount you paid them for the year.

That’s great, I really needed more work, paperwork, and time to be spent on such things. The best part is this went into effect thanks to the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (H.R. 5297). Sounds like a great law, but was this really necessary? Won’t more people pay cash to avoid the paperwork headache? Won’t more landlords get frustrated and sell their property? Does this really help anything but the IRS?

Be aware of this, and keep good records of who you paid and how much.
