Things to Think About When You Buy a House

  
If you are tired of renting and are planning to buy a house in the near future, there are some things to seriously think about before buying:

1. FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD:   

Figure out all the monthly expenses that will go into the house; always remember the mortgage, real estate tax, utilities, association fees (if any), insurance, plus repairs and other potential emergency items.  Also figure a down payment on the house to reduce Private Mortgage Insurance plus the mortgage payment before buying a house.  Be sure to figure in any tax savings from real estate tax and mortgage interest deductions to reduce your monthly expenses.

Put it all together and see what you can actually pay for a house within your budget.

2. CHECK OUT THE HOUSE PAPERWORK AND OTHER ITEMS:   

As well as a home inspection, make sure all renovations are permitted and all other items are in order.  You need a good realtor who can check out items on the MLS, then follow up with associations and other organizations before you get in too deep.

3. PICK OUT A HOUSE YOU LIKE:  

Buying a residence you don't like owning just to buy something is a big long-term mistake.  Make sure you not only like the house, but the neighborhood as well. (Sometimes you can like the house a little less if you love the neighborhood, especially with shopping and schools nearby.) 
 
4. MAKE SURE YOU DON'T OVERPAY FOR A HOUSE:  

Another reason to have a good realtor is that they can get you more information so together you can figure out if the house you are looking at is over or underpriced. 
 
The key is to get a house you like in a neighborhood you like at a price you can live with within your budget. Then you can set fire to YOUR backyard when you barbeque!

New Federal Filing and Extension Dates for 2016 Business Entities 
  
Well, now that 2017 is here, just a reminder that the IRS has changed federal filing dates for various business entities (just to make life a little more interesting.)

 1. YOU ARE A SOLE-PROPRIETOR OR A SINGLE PERSON LLC:   Your filing date is the same for 2016 returns - April 18, 2017 with an extension of six months to October 16, 2017. 

 2. YOUR ENTITY IS A PARTNERSHIP OR A REGULAR LLC:  Your filing date for 2016 returns is now March 15, 2017 with an extension of six months to September 15, 2017. 

 3.  YOUR ENTITY IS AN S-CORPORATION:  Your filing date for 2016 stays the same - March 15, 2017 with an extension of six months to September 15, 2017. 

 4.  YOUR ENTITY IS AN C-CORPORATION:  This is a little more complicated - -  If you have a calendar year C - Corp your filing date is April 18, 2017 with a 5 month extension to September 15, 2017 until 2026, when it changes to 6 months.  - If you have a fiscal year C - Corp with an year end of June 30, your filing date is September 15, 2017 with a 7 month extension to April 17, 2018 until 2026, when it changes to October 15 and the extension changes to 6 months.  -  If you have a fiscal year C - Corp with an year end other than June 30, your filing date is 3 1/2 months after year end with a 6 month extension.  

5.  YOUR ENTITY IS A TRUST:  Your filing date for 2016 stays the same - April 18, 2017 but the extension date is now 5 1/2 months to September 30, 2017 (???????). Of course some states may change their filing dates and some may not, making that another fun time for all.  So go ahead and pull your hair out (now or later!)
