Top 10 Real Estate Tips for 2017 If you have plans to buy or sell in the coming year, there are some things you should consider. Take a look at these tips for buyers and sellers> AT HOME

Ask Angie’s List
How do you organize for the holidays? By Staci Giordullo, Angie’s List (TNS) Maintaining a peaceful home during the crush of holiday stress often seems too much to handle, but good organization helps calm the chaos. “Be kind and patient with yourself, and accept that we can’t be superheroes despite the notion that everything must be perfect when families and friends arrive,” says Melanie Raelin, owner of Wits End Organizing in Medford, Mass. Take a look at these solutions to ease into the holiday fray:
Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner If guests throw you a curve by announcing a last-minute visit, before you start house cleaning, take time to walk through and look at it as if you were a stranger. Focus on the main areas your guests will occupy, such as the living room, bathroom, kitchen and guest bedroom. “You can do a lot in one day,” says Linda Goldman, owner of Altogether Organized in Highland Park, Ill. “Just putting things where they belong will go a long way in making your home clutter-free.” Pay attention to floors and clear the surfaces of tabletops and dressers. Make sure you have enough seating and put out fresh towels for overnight guests. Take a quick inventory in any bathroom your guest might use, and clear out any items you don’t want rummaged through.
T enjoy the holidays to the fullest, you might consider a personal organizer to relieve some of the stress. (Dreamstime)
Take Time To Donate The holidays provide an opportunity to decide what clothes, coats, toys and books you no longer need and gather them for donation. “When the kids are old enough, it’s nice to have them involved in the process,” Raelin says. “When they make up their gift wish lists, it’s a great opportunity to bring up the notion of making room for the new. It’s best to pack away toys and items the kid has outgrown before the holiday season, and donate to some of the great charities serving children in need.”
Call For Backup If organizing your home feels like an overwhelming task, consider hiring
atHome Colorado Home and Real Estate
a professional organizer for an objective approach. Sometimes, a consultation helps give homeowners the kick-start they need. Rates for an organizer range from about $50 to $100 an hour, and most have a 2-3 hour minimum requirement. During the holidays, some organizers play more of a “personal assistant” role and help with event planning, party preparation, buying and wrapping gifts or delivering donated items. Look for a highly rated organizer with whom you feel comfortable. Many stay up on the latest industry trends and follow a code of ethics by belonging to the National Association
of Professional Organizers. Whether you try to organize on your own or bring in some extra help, our experts say homeowners should keep calm about the clutter. “Take a second to enjoy the holidays,” says Pamela Morrone, owner of Creating Clarity in Los Angeles. “With all of the chaos and to-do lists, it’s important to throw it all out at some point and enjoy your friends and family.” ——— Staci Giordullo is a reporter for Angie’s List, a trusted provider of local consumer reviews and an online marketplace of services from top-rated providers.

Hawaii on my mind
Gifty Gathering
For a remote island chain, Hawaii gives gardeners a lot to be grateful for beyond floral shirts, CAROL O’MEARA cocoCSU Extension nuts, and pineapple slices. The westernmost state in the union keeps us dreaming of lush plant paradises, complete with waterfalls, wildly colored birds, and warm weather. The Aloha state came by its diverse botanical denizens via makani (wind), moana (ocean), and manu (birds). Humans introduced many plants to the islands that are mistaken as native plants, including the iconic pineapple (native to Brazil and Paraguay) and the heavenly perfumed plumeria (central and south America). But a few true natives have found their way into our homes and hearts as house plants we love in winter. Ekaha, or the Bird’s Nest Fern (Asplenium nidus) is a slow growing plant that is perfect for the low light in our homes. Named for the tight clump-like rosette the spear-shaped fronds grow from, these ferns are easy to grow. An epiphyte in its native Hawai’i, it can be grown in a shallow pot in a peat moss-based medium. Ekaha should be placed away from direct sun in a location that doesn’t get drafts. Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Provide a humidity tray for moisture around the plant and fertilize it with 13-1313 slow release fertilizer every six months. Trim off browned, older leaves. Okupukupu Sword Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata) is a commonly found fern with pinnae, feathery fronds that curl up from the soil. Okupukupu is the original parlor fern, perfect for pots or hanging baskets. Repot these ferns every year or December 3-4, 2016

two to avoid them becoming root bound. Okupukupu develop runners from which plantlets sprout; to propagate, just remove the plantlets once they’ve developed a few fronds and pot into soil. Fertilize like Ekaha, or foliar feed with fish emulsion. Keep the soil moist but not soggy. As a rule of thumb, low-level light rarely strikes the leaves and typically comes from north facing windows. Medium, or indirect light, is when light strikes the foliage for less than four hours per day. Through winter, medium light comes from east and west facing windows. No thought of Hawaii is complete without Aloalo, the hibiscus. Several species are native to the islands and the state flower is Pua Aloalo, the yellow hibiscus (Hibiscus brackenridgei). The woody shrub typically sports the showy flowers with extended staminal column depicted on shirts and decals. Aloalo need high light to thrive, so lighting that produces 1200 footcandles is required. To accomplish this, pick up a 125-watt daylight CFL bulb with a hanging reflector from a local grow store or put them in a sunny window. High or direct light falls across plants for a minimum of four hours daily. They prefer drier soils but not completely dried out; check soil moisture before you water. Flowers form on the tips of new branches, so prune them to keep them bushy in early fall. Fertilize every two weeks in spring and summer, then once monthly in winter. The dry interior of homes is
stressful to many houseplants. Although misting the foliage is one way to approach this, an easier approach is to place a pebble tray filled with water under the plant. Simply take a tray and layer small stones evenly along the bottom, then fill with enough water to reach the top of the stones. Place potted plants on this tray, but take care that the water is not touching the pot itself. Most houseplants should not be placed in standing water. Refill the pebble tray often to keep the humidity levels even, and group plants closely together. In general, most houseplants like temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees during the day, and above 60 degrees at night. If you lower your thermostat during the day, put all of your plants in the warmest room of the house. ————————————— Colorado State University Extension, together with Boulder County Parks and Open Space, provides unbiased, research-based information about consumer and family issues, horticulture, natural resources, agriculture and 4-H youth development.

Looks we love for the
HOLIDAYS

E
very holiday season is a new opportunity to honor your family’s cherished traditions, while also keeping the celebration fresh and fun by trying something brand new. That’s how I like to approach holiday decorating. Today, I want to share with you a few of my favorite looks for the season, and just maybe give you a few new ideas as you dress your home for Christmas…
GRAND ENTRANCES When decorating your entry, add a splashy display, like this towering bouquet made of bare sticks, pine branches and a little nest, tucked in for good luck. A shiny silver candy dish on the table cradles a sweet collection of vintage tree bulbs in a bed of pine needles.

SPOIL GUESTS
gets to dance out of the cupboard and sparkle on your table. Take a moment to rearrange your cabinets so they look like a piece of art.
When friends and family travel to be together for the holidays, it’s a joyful reunion. Old memories are rekindled and new memories are made. I like to make my visitors feel like honored guests by creating a guest room that’s warm and welcoming. It can be as simple as setting out a service of their favorite teas or coffees, served in a special cup.
LAVISH MANTELS It can be easy to get into a rut when decorating your mantel. So this year, challenge yourself to come up with something brand-new. This magnificent garland, a mix of pine needles and leaves, is simple yet stunning as it loops through the mantel’s year-round display.
BRING THE GARDEN IN After you clean out your planters for the winter, bring a few inside for your holiday decorating. Garden architectural elements connect us to the outdoors and give us a fine place to stage displays, whether it’s holding logs for the fire or your Christmas tree.

DECORATE A LIGHT FIXTURE If you are looking for a way to decorate your home for maximum impact with minimum work, try dressing up some of your light fixtures. Add greenery and ribbons to the chandelier over your kitchen island or dining table. Or, jazz up some wall sconces.
BEAUTIFUL BOUQUETS Scout through your china cabinet for a special vase or pitcher or urn, like a family keepsake or a favorite find from antiquing. Then, fill it with holiday greenery to make a
lovely centerpiece for your coffee table or ottoman.
QUIET CHRISTMAS MORNING Holiday tables don’t have to be lavish. Dan and I enjoy a quiet Christmas morning bite in our kitchen, the calm before family flocks in for a big Christmas feast. Toss a vintage tablecloth over your kitchen table, add a bouquet of fresh flowers, a few candy canes in a little pitcher, and you’re ready.

What do you have in your china hutch that you could use to make a unique centerpiece for your holiday table? We created this lovely display with a few odds and ends in my cupboard — an old silver riser, a glass bowl and a stemmed glass. Fresh fruit and flowers, all in shades of green and white, give it a fresh finish.
DINING DETAILS Sometimes the tiniest details have the biggest impact on your table. Try tucking a fresh sprig of rosemary into your napkin rings when you entertain. It’s a clever way to add both color and flavor to your table. ——— This column was adapted from Mary Carol Garrity’s blog at nellhills.com. December 3-4, 2016

Keeping Your Home Staged for Showings Selling your home can be stressful, mostly because of the need to keep it in “showing condition.” After all, you still need to live By Suzanne Plewes in your home CRS, ABR, CDPE, GRI while you’re Broker Associate at trying to sell RE/MAX Alliance it. There are a few things you can do to make this process a little easier on you and your family. Here are a few tips.
on the countertop. When it’s time to prepare for showings, you can quickly tuck that bin under the sink! The same goes for toys and other common messes around the house. Gather up the toys in a basket and place it along a wall or in a corner. A big mess can be quickly tucked away. Plus, using baskets prevents the need for sorting through every little thing while still making your home appear neat! It can also add to the décor of a home.
Go Shoeless
in each room, and tuck them away
Floors tend to be the most time consuming area to clean, especially during the winter months. Save yourself a lot of work by taking your shoes off when you get home. Go barefoot or switch to house slippers. This will save you a ton of time as you are preparing for showings over several weeks or months.
and out of high traffic areas. • Wipe down countertops in kitchens and baths. • Empty trash from all rooms, but don’t forget the kitty litter and other pet related items. By having a system in place to
Develop a Routine
prepare for showings, your home will appear organized and will have a bet-
Premoistened cleaning wipes are popular and readily available these days. They are available at most stores and are great for quickly wiping down surfaces throughout your home. Keep containers of these wipes in your kitchens and baths. When it’s time for a showing, grab one to wipe down all of your countertops and you’ll be done in a jiffy!
The most stressful part about a short notice showing is remembering everything that you need to do. Create a list and assign tasks to different family members. This will make it much easier and less stressful each time. Here are a few key items to remember: • Empty dirty dishes from the sink. • Put away coats and shoes from entryways. • Put everything in assigned baskets

Top 10 real estate tips for 2017 By Steve McLinden, Bankrate.com (TNS) While home prices for starter-tomidrange homes are pushing upward toward pre-recession peaks, especially in secondary markets, they’re stabilizing in higher-priced areas. If mortgage rates rise modestly as expected in 2017, sales elsewhere may normalize with smaller price appreciation, especially as housing starts rise to fill the inventory breach. Here are 10 tips to adapt to the latest market conditions.
First-time homebuyers: Get that starter home now More than half of the home sales in 2017 are expected to be to first-time buyers, and mostly to the millennial set, many moving from urban rentals, research by the National Association of Realtors shows. That means competition could become fierce in the spring for such “starters” in desirable areas. While there’ll be less inventory this winter, there’ll also be less competition per unit and a higher percent of motivated sellers.
Sellers: Hire the right agent Oftentimes, the best investment a seller can make is time spent researching agents. A bad hire can cost sellers tens of thousands of dollars and months of worried waiting. First, look at an agent’s online marketing material and listings. Then, look at profiles of the agents on LinkedIn, Facebook and other social media; and be sure to read web
reviews. Narrow your search to three agents and interview each. Ask for salesactivity reports, existing listings and time-on-the-market averages, plus the requisite local comps. A seasoned listing agent also will know the best times for open houses and how to initiate a price war if the market allows. Never consent to a listing contract of longer than 90 days in a seller’s market.
Buyers: There’s more loan money out there Those who couldn’t get mortgages during the downturn because they didn’t have 20 percent to put down can find affordable financing again. Borrowers with FICO scores as low as 690 are now getting conforming mortgage loans. Borrowers without a 20 percent down payment will still likely pay private mortgage insurance until they hit the 20 percent to 25 percent equity mark. The best rates go to those with 800-plus credit scores.
Sellers: It may be a seller’s market but … Home sellers can do several simple things to enhance appearance, increase buyer interest and boost their home’s profile: • Renew selectively: Do light makeovers everywhere, with an eye on the kitchen and bathrooms. • Clean, clean and clean some more: It’s hard for buyers to picture themselves living in a dirty house. • Depersonalize, declutter: Show the space, not the contents. Box up family photos, kids’ school papers and excess art. • Illuminate: Open drapes and add brighter light bulbs in dark areas. Repaint where needed but use neutral colors.
Renters: It might be time to buy In many cases, rents are rising faster than home values, yet mortgage rates remain low. That, and the fact that renters now account for 37 percent of households (the highest level in 50 years), seem to indicate an imminent coming-out party for renters-turned-buyers.
If you’re a buyer, don’t believe the house is yours In heated markets across the country, sales agents are giving buyers false hope and using their offers to bid up the price for preferred buyers who they think can pay more and close faster. Strategies such as preapproval, proof of funding, closing flexibility and the always-risky practice of waiving inspection and repair contingencies can help sway buyers. For added clout, tell sellers you’re willing to “escalate,” or exceed all offers to a certain limit.
Sellers: The grass is always greener… … in yards with a “sold” sign. Major presale upgrades typically aren’t needed, but a little greening outdoors is a must. Surveys show that strong curb appeal can increase prices by 10 percent or more. Greener grass, whether derived from new sod or fertilizer and water, is a must. Sellers typically enjoy a 100 percent return on the money they put into curb appeal.
Sellers and buyers: Know the state of your market When inventory remains below equilibrium, sellers enjoy more control over prices and terms, and the area becomes a seller’s market. When inventory lingers well above stasis, you have a buyer’s market where sellers must get more serious
about price reductions, credits and throw-ins.
Sellers: House going on sale in the spring? Grab your camera or smartphone and do an exterior autumn photo shoot with the leaves changing colors. It’s a much better way to showcase your home than to wait until late winter when everything is still dead and brown and mucky. Also take some landscape shots after the first snow, ideally on a sunny day, to show how cozy your place looks in winter. Take a preliminary inventory, too. Look through your attic, closets, basement and garage to see what stored items you’ll want to keep, give away or sell in the spring. This will help you determine whether you’ll need a storage unit when your home is on the market and if there are any problem areas that need repairs or attention. It’s also a good time to start discussing financing options with a local lender and interview prospective listing agents.
Buyers: Relocating near a waterfront? You’d best consider weather and insurance realities. FEMA flood-map changes are aggressively expanding flood zones, especially along the East Coast and Gulf Coast, forcing hundreds of thousands of homeowners to buy flood insurance for the first time and others to pay thousands more annually. Insurers also are imposing coverage caps so there’s no guarantee you’ll be made whole post-catastrophe. Some home sellers and their agents are conveniently not disclosing these realities, so buyers will have to ask pointed questions and do their own research. ——— Visit Bankrate online at bankrate. com

while the natives think that I must be balmy. The mild weather here gives me a little extra time to catch up on outdoor chores before I have to wear gloves and a coat. The Outdoor Power Institute suggests that we use this prelude to winter to check over the equipment we use during the cold weather — snow throwers and generators, for example — before we actually need them. Like so: Review the owner’s manual. Refamiliarize yourself with how to handle your equipment safely and any maintenance needs. If you have lost your manual, you can usually find it online. Drain and change engine oil and dispose of old/used oil safely. Service the air filter and perform other maintenance activities directed by the manual. If equipment has a battery, remove and fully charge it before storing, or to have it ready for an unexpected weather event.
Handle fuel properly. Unused gas left in gas tanks over the winter can go stale and can even damage equipment. For any equipment stored over the winter, add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank and then run the equipment to distribute it. Turn the engine off, allow the machine to cool, then restart it and run it until the gas tank is empty. Be sure to use the appropriate fuel. Most outdoor power equipment was designed, built, and warranted to run on 10 percent or less ethanol fuel. Do a yard cleanup. Clear paths regularly. Make sure there is space in the garage or basement to store larger yard items. ——— (Contact Alan J.

These are the buzziest paint color trends of 2017, according to Farrow & Ball Yellowcake, St Giles Blue or Incarnadine is a fantastic way to experiment with bright colors.”
By Jonathan Steinitz, Domaine (TNS) There’s nothing quite like the feeling of a freshly painted room. Aside from its mood-boosting properties, paint has the power to transform any space with the flick of a brush. It can elevate your home, welcome in the new season, and even lower its value. But in a sea of swatches, how do you know what hue to choose? Paint can be a game changer in the best and worst way. In the same way the right tone can give a tired room a new lease on life, the wrong one can quickly date it. So we tapped Farrow & Ball’s head of creative, Charlie Cosby, to finally answer the perennial question: What color should I paint my room? Now that we know what paint colors are out, it’s time to discover which hues the new year will reign in. While 2016 was all about black, gray and blush, 2017 is dialing it up. Expect bold, intense hues and vivid brights, which also happen to be some of Cosby’s personal favorites. “I love Studio Green for 2017,” she told MyDomaine. “I love its depth and high intensity of color. Studio Green feels like a sleek black with a huge green undertone that adds a botanical feel. I’m also a huge fan of yellow and the optimism it brings to any space, particularly in such uncertain times.” Ahead, Cosby shares her top bold paint color trend predictions for the year, with some simple tips on how to use them.
EMBRACE VIVID BRIGHTS The runways have spoken. Subdued colors are being replaced with vivid brights in our wardrobes, but it doesn’t end there. Expect to see these bold hues available as interior paint colors in 2017 too. “Brighter colors are becoming increasingly popular for the home, and we certainly saw bolder hues on the catwalks this autumn,” said Cosby. “Bright colors were also used in combination with sorbet shades at Tibi, Lacoste and Michael Kors, and this is certainly a trend that translates into interiors. Strong hues like St Giles Blue adds an electrifying accent to a soft sorbet palette of gentle blue such as Pale 10

PAINT WITH CONFIDENCE When you do finally settle on “the one,” use it with confidence. This is Cosby’s number one rule when working with bright hues. “Any doubt will stick out like a sore thumb,” she said. “Either fully commit and paint a full room in a rich hue like Railings, Down Pipe or Stiffkey Blue, or deliberately paint a piece of furniture as an accent to an otherwise neutral space. Anything in between will lack confidence and be far less impactful.”
THE 5 BOLD PAINT COLOR TRENDS FOR 2017 ARE… STUDIO GREEN “There is something almost defiant about the use of botanic Studio Green on walls instead of the ubiquitous charcoal darks. It is unapologetically clubby and has a fantastically timeless old-world quality but can be used in the most modern of rooms.” Vivid, bright hues, like this blue, are popular paint choices for 2017 and pair well with softer neutrals, like this grey sofa, seen in years past. Powder and lilac Calluna. Similarly, rich aubergine Brinjal can be used in combination with the pretty Middleton Pink. But the bold statement doesn’t end at color. Cosby says stripes are coming through in a big way. “Stripes are a design classic in both fashion and interiors, and we saw bright stripes coming through at the Marc Jacobs, Proenza Schouler and Opening Ceremony shows,” she said. “Whether you choose a multicolored stripe like our bold Chromatic Stripe, or simply hang a classic Closet Stripe horizontally, using stripes unexpectedly keep a room fresh and interesting for 2017.”
USE WITH CAUTION Before you get excited about using these brighter hues, take note of the do’s and don’ts. “One of the biggest mistakes people make when choosing a bold paint for their home is choosing a color they will quickly
tire of,” said Cosby. “If you decide to choose a bold color, then think about the colors you’re drawn to in fashion and the colors you already have in your soft furnishing, fabrics and accessories,” she explained. “You’re more likely to choose a color you love and, more importantly, one that goes with the home accessories and furniture you already have (although it could be a great excuse for a shopping trip).”
START SMALL If you’re particularly cautious about dabbling in bright colors, Cosby advises starting with the smallest room in the house first. “Choose a vivid hue for a small bathroom, cloakroom, or even the inside of a cupboard is a fantastic way to add unexpected color,” she said. “Similarly, using bright colors as an accent to a neutral scheme is a good way to introduce color. Painting furniture in bold hues like
Reporter-Herald – AtHomeColorado.com
RADICCHIO “Pink has been at the forefront of decorating for the last year, and there is now a natural progression to stronger reds, with their spirit of bold optimism. Radicchio feels exuberant, romantic, and sensual rather than clean or graphic, due to its complex underlying blue tone.”
HAY “Understated Hay feels soft and familiar. Its quiet quality creates rooms that have a hushed atmosphere as well as an unmatched depth and gentleness. It is not a hot or sunny yellow (although it becomes rawer in bright light) but rather an aged, whimsical tone with an underlying green.”
DRAWING ROOM BLUE “Drawing Room Blue is a strong, clean blue and reflects the nautical references we have seen on the catwalk, but with a more graphic feel. Our increasing desire to be surrounded by the humbling, calm December 3-4, 2016
of the sea brings serenity to the home.”
PELT “There is a big feeling for ‘rock’ at the moment, with leather prevalent in homes and fashion. Luxurious Pelt is the perfect choice to add some color to a rock ‘n’ roll scheme.”
THE ALL-WHITE LOOK IS HERE TO STAY If, unlike us, you’re not celebrating the emergence of bright, vivid and bold hues next year, then don’t fear. Cosby tells us the all-white look isn’t going anywhere. In fact, she believes it’s making a comeback. Although, for many of us, the timeless look didn’t go anywhere. “Recently whites have had an undertone of gray, but 2017 sees a return to a pure white that’s clean and graphic,” she explained. “Our All White has no pigment and creates an uncomplicated feel that’s naturally fresh, but not stark or ‘brilliant.’ The key to this look is to create a mood of stillness and calm by layering different whites, and only whites, together.” Check out Erin Featherston’s home to see this lovely white layered style in action. Cosby loves to pair varying white paint colors together for visual interest. She loves Cabbage White and Strong White for this. “With their different nuances of color, they can be used in any combination with All White to create subtle decorative surprises,” she adds. “They also create the perfect backdrop for both art and natural materials. These seemingly simple colors evoke a complex response when combined in this way.” In fact, Farrow & Ball’s most popular paint colors are white. “We are famed for our neutrals,” said Cosby. “All White, Wimborne White and Pointing are all our most popular colors. Neutrals are always popular as they can be used to provide a clean and inconspicuous backdrop to furniture, fabrics, artworks and accessories.” We’ll never give them up. ——— Get the latest on home decor trends, design ideas, shopping guides and food news, and take a look inside your favorite celebrity homes on DomaineHome.com.

Several factors determine tax implications on selling inherited property By Ilyce Glink and Samuel J. Tamkin, Tribune Content Agency
Q
: My husband inherited his parents’ home about six years ago. We are in the process of selling it this year for more than $500,000. Our current income is less than $40,000. Do we pay capital gains on this property? If so, how much? How do we find a competent CPA or tax attorney? The sale will be in New York and we live in Georgia.
A
: If your husband inherited the home six years ago, he inherited the home at its value at that time. So the good news is you shouldn’t think about having to pay taxes on the entire amount of the sale price. You need to figure out what the value was of the home at or around the time your husband inherited the home. As you research home values, you might find that the home was worth around $400,000 at that time, so at most your profit would be around $100,000. We’re sure you will have expenses associated with the sale of the home: broker’s commission, settlement fees and other expenses. You might have even had expenses to improve the home while you owned it; for example: repairs on the roof, new hot water heaters and other items. Many real estate brokers charge between 5 and 6 percent commission on the sale of a home. At around $25,000, along with other closing costs and some improvements to the home over the years, you might only have a “profit” of around $50,000 on the $500,000 sale. The first $450,000 wouldn’t have a tax and the other $50,000 would be taxed at long term capital gains rates of up to 20 percent. In your tax situation your rate may be lower. One complication you might have is if you rented the property over the last six years. Rental properties may cause your taxes to become even more complicated. When you rent a property, you are entitled to offset the income you get from rent with expenses such as real estate
taxes, insurance, and maintenance cost. You also get to depreciate the property. That depreciation may have given you some “tax losses” over some years and now that you sell the property, the IRS will want to recapture that depreciation at a rate of up to 25 percent. So if you took around $50,000 in depreciation over the last five years or so, you might owe a tax of up to $12,500 in addition to any other taxes you might have to pay. However, if your property has been rented for that time, you could defer paying any federal taxes on the sale of the property if you choose to sell this property and buy another like-kind income-producing real estate property. You can undertake a 1031 exchange under IRS code rules and defer paying taxes on the sale of the home. We’ve made quite a number of assumptions but wanted to give you an idea of what you are up against. You may also have to consider New York tax rates and your own Georgia tax that may be owed. So as far as finding someone to help you out, you might consider an Enrolled Agent. Enrolled Agents are federally licensed tax practitioners who specialize in taxation can represent taxpayers before the IRS. You can find an enrolled agent near you by searching for one on the site for the National Association of Enrolled Agent (NAEA.org). You can also ask some of your friends
and relatives for a referral to a local accountant (a CPA) that has experience with the tax laws of different states and does extensive work in this area. Again, depending on what the value of the home was when he inherited it, how you used it and how much “profit” is involved will dictate the type of person you need to help you out. If the value of the property was $600,000 and now it’s worth $500,000 and you didn’t rent the property, you may have no tax to pay to the IRS. But New York and Georgia may have other rules pertaining to this inheritance that could affect you. Good luck. ————————————— (Ilyce Glink is the creator of an 18-part webinar+ebook series called “The Intentional Investor: How to be wildly successful in real estate,” as well as the author of many books on real estate.

One-weekend DIY projects to get your house relative-ready for the holidays A little more effort
(BPT) - When the holidays arrive, you can prepare a scrumptious feast, present ideal gifts that are perfectly wrapped and decorate the house like something off a magazine cover. However, your mother-in-law is still going to focus on the stained upholstery in the family room, the tacky and dated wallpaper in the dining room, and the guest bedroom carpet that looks older than she is. This year, you can spare yourself the in-law-inflicted shame with some budget-friendly do-it-yourself projects that will take just a weekend (or less) to achieve. Your home will be holiday ready, and as a bonus, you’ll get to enjoy the improvements throughout the New Year. Before you begin, remember: you can save time, money and storage space by renting the tools you need for holiday DIY projects. Renting means you always have access to the items you need, and when your project is done, cleanup is as easy as returning the items to your local rental store. To find a rental store near you, visit rentalHQ.com.

spend the most time. For example, tackle improvements in the kitchen, living room and guest bath, but skip projects in less trafficked areas like your master bedroom. Next, pick projects that are fast, easy and low cost, but will have high impact. You’ve undoubtedly heard it before, but it’s worth saying again - paint, paint, paint! Repainting a room is one of the fastest, easiest and most cost-effective ways to make it look better. Most rooms can easily be painted in a day or less, even if you’re going all-out and doing the ceiling and trim as well as the walls. Score bonus points by using a rented texture sprayer to add a unique, professional look to walls. Speaking of paint, a fresh coat in an eye-catching color can make your front door look new and inviting. While you’re working on your entryway, remember to power-wash sidewalks, steps and trim, and wash sidelights, transoms and other windows near the door. A polished entryway will make your holiday decorations look even better - and wow the in-laws before they even ring the doorbell. In kitchens and bathrooms, replace dated or worn faucets. Install
a new showerhead in the bathroom, and add a new shower curtain. A new light fixture in the dining room can brighten the space and enhance the festive atmosphere. Rent a steam cleaner to freshen up tile floors, carpet and upholstery. Score bonus points with your scent-sensitive in-laws for using a cleaning method that’s hypoallergenic and chemicalfree!
Reporter-Herald – AtHomeColorado.com
Some projects may take a little more effort, but their payoff can be even higher. For example, remove that tired dining room wallpaper or 80’s-style wallpaper border in the powder room with a rented wallpaper steamer. The steamer will make the job easy as possible and that little extra investment of time will give you a fresh, blank slate for updating the room’s d√©cor. Adding molding to a dining room or family room creates an air of quiet elegance. Whether you opt to add crown molding at the ceiling or decorative molding and wainscoting on the walls, you can rent the measuring and cutting tools you’ll need to do the job well. If you’re feeling ambitious and are eager for a project that will really knock the in-laws’ socks off, you can get rid of that old grungy carpet. Whether you choose to refurbish the wood floor under the old carpet, or install new carpeting, you can rent the tools you need, such as a floor sander or carpet stretching tool. With the holidays approaching fast, you don’t have a lot of time or money for DIY projects that will impress the in-laws. Fortunately, you can accomplish some impressive results in a single weekend when you rent the tools you need. Visit rentalHQ.com to find a rental store near you.
