WORK @ HOME

Thinking of moving your business to your house? Consider these tax, legal & real estate factors first.

he thought of rolling out of bed and going to work a few steps away is an appealing one. But while setting up a home-based business can have its benefits for those who are disciplined enough to make it work and have the available space, homeowners need to carefully consider what’s involved – including legal, tax, insurance and resale ramifications. Richard Houston, who owns and operates several websites from his office adjacent to the laundry room in his home near Los Angeles, will tell you that the perks of running a business from home are plentiful, including business tax deductions, lower out-of-pocket costs and flexible work hours. But he warns that many municipalities have zoning restrictions and other requirements that limit or prohibit operating a commercial enterprise out of your place of residence. “You need to find out what restrictions exist because some cities even have substantial hidden taxes, fines and other penalties attached to operating a business out of your home,” Houston says. Christine A. Reuther, tax attorney in Radnor, Pennsylvania, agrees. “Check with local authorities first to determine if zoning and other code restrictions apply, which will depend on the type of business and where it’s located,” she says. “Additionally, some municipalities require a business license.” Even if community rule makers gives you the green light, you want to make sure that you don’t incur the wrath of your neighbors, says William Curtis, a Realtor with Nankani Management in San Antonio, who also has an homebased business. When Curtis has to meet a client or has a meeting, he meets them at a nearby coffee shop or rents out a conference room. When it comes to federal and state income taxes, an home business may provide an opportunity to deduct some expenses, such as a portion of your utility expenses, office equipment, and mortgage interest paid. In addition,

some portion of the home itself may be depreciable. “The keys to understanding what you can deduct are determining what portion of the house is used for business, realistically assessing whether the space and equipment set aside for business use are exclusively for business use, and, if necessary, tracking business and non-business use of dual-purpose items,” says tax attorney Reuther. She recommends consulting with an accountant to determine your deduction eligibility. “Keeping records is critical to supporting the deductions being claimed and to make sure you expense items appropriately,” Reuther adds. In general, your property taxes shouldn’t be affected by creating a home business unless you finish space that was unfinished the last time your house was assessed, such as a basement. To keep your property’s value as high as possible, Gary Klein, founder of a real estate organization in Lincroft, New Jersey, suggests keeping your home office space flexible without making too many major modifications, “You don’t [want to] lose a potential buyer who, instead of a home office, would rather have an extra bedroom or a basement for their kids to play in,” he says. Also, don’t just assume that your current homeowners insurance policy will cover a claim made involving your home-based business. Any business, regardless of its scope or location, should have a commercial general liability insurance policy and applicable errors and omissions insurance. Lastly, it’s crucial to evaluate how the business might affect your home’s resale value, which ties into your choice as to where to locate the office within your abode. “If at all possible, have a separate office with a separate entrance,” says Bill Horne of a firm in Sharon, Massachusetts that helps home-based businesses plan, construct and maintain offices.

Discounts For Cash Buyers? Question: Many buyers in today’s market are purchasing homes for cash. Sometimes cash buyers say they should get a discount because they can settle faster. Is this true?

Answer: It’s likely true in most jurisdictions that cash buyers can settle faster than purchasers who need mortgage financing. However, this is not necessarily a reason for sellers to accept a discounted price. Let’s start with today’s financing rules. Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act lenders have two deadlines when offering a loan: • First, the borrower must receive a good faith estimate of closing costs within three business

(360) 424-7166

days after applying for a loan. This is sometimes called “early disclosure.” • Second, the rules say that lenders cannot generally close the loan until seven days after the borrower has received the GFE. Also, there may be a “financial emergency” that allows a borrower to waive the time requirements. However, lenders may be leery of such requests. Why? Worries about missing underwriting requirements that could result in costly payments to investors and regulators. In effect, it will take a borrower needing a mortgage at least 10 days to close. Because allcash buyers are not relying on mortgage lenders the disclosure requirements and closing minimums do not apply to them. Does a quickie closing justify a price discount? That’s a debatable matter, but the answer for many sellers is no. In selling a property many owners expect that closing will not take place for 30 to 45 days, sometimes maybe a little faster, sometimes perhaps a little slower. Owners often would much prefer a longer closing so there is reasonable time to pack and

move. In an ideal world it would be great to have simultaneous closings so that a seller can instantly go from one home to another with as little time as possible between properties. This becomes easier with a longer closing period. In some areas you can see street signs that say “We’ll buy your home for cash” and “Close in seven days.” Sometimes such offers come in the mail. While these offers may be attractive for some distressed owners, is it really worth losing thousands of dollars for a faster settlement? The more important issue for most sellers is not the speed of closing it’s the size of the settlement check. As the old expression goes, “All good things come to those who wait” — and in terms of real estate that usually means 30 to 45 days until closing.

Zachary D. Schorr, a real estate attorney in Los Angeles, says other common onsidering that a home is likely the most important purchase and biggest culprits behind purchase regret include inadequate investigation of the physical financial transaction you’ll ever make, it’s important that you be happy with that acquisition. Yet, alarmingly, results of a recent study by Redfin re- characteristics and needs of the property; misunderstanding of the financial terms of the purchase; and failure to comprehend how expensive maintaining a veal that one in four U.S. homeowners who purchased the home they currently home can be. reside in would not buy the home again if they could do it all over again. Carol Olrich, real estate broker associate in Marin County, California, says When asked what the most common causes of homebuyer’s remorse are, the lesson to be learned here is to continually review priorities, ask plenty of Marshall Park, a real estate agent in Washington, D.C., narrowed it down a few questions of the seller and listing agent and study the neighborhood carefully reasons. “First, many feel they paid too much for their home, which can easily happen prior to writing the offer. Also, don’t let negative reactions from friends and family let you second-guess your decision. when they’re competing in a bidding war and prices are escalating,” Park says. “I ask my buyers to focus on what is right for them and try not to listen to “Second, many feel they bought the wrong house.
