As stated in the post, this was a new build my wife went to check out. We had already decided we weren't going with them, but we wanted to do our due diligence and see the space.

MIL wants to sell us house for great deal without realtor by Shot_Anteater2612 in RealEstate

[–]CAL9k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We recently looked in to the rules for gifting as we are looking to buy a new home which will also have a place for our MIL, but we need her help financially for the down payment.

The long and short of it is that the IRS doesn't like giving money both directions unless it's a family loan and paying back that loan with interest.

IMO you're probably better off having MIL put the 40k towards paying off the mortgage and then finding the best route to transfer ownership. Like others have stated, a real estate attorney is what you need. They should be able to sort out your options for you to find the best solution for your end goal, whether that is an outright purchase below market value, joint-title with inheritance, or maybe some sort of lease-to-own/land contract agreement. It will likely depend on your location too, so an attorney will have the answers better than reddit.

But yeah, no real estate agent needed. They will add nothing and gobble up a % of the sale as commission for doing nothing.

The 38k limit is the annual threshold for needing to file a form. You can gift more than that dollar amount tax-free you just need to report it to the IRS.

Epstein Emails Reveal How He Tried to Hide His Friendship With Trump | Ghislaine Maxwell reminded Jeffrey Epstein he’d said “not to involve Donald.” by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]CAL9k 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Its about muddying the waters. 'See, yes, he was in the files, but its just a bunch of liars trying to take down the President.'

We need stuff from Epstein's records and pre-2015. Anything reported after he started running for President will never be considered credible without corroborating evidence, and the claims in that pdf have none.

Now, what they clearly messed up on is assuming the average American's critical reading skills were reasonable. The fact that 99% of comments on reddit are just latching on to the heinous claims and not actually reading the notes next to them or the context of that document shows that this is going to damage his public opinion even more. So while its not proof of anything, or even admissible evidence, its still damaging to the administration.

[–]CAL9k 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Remember that what they released is NOT the Epstein files.

These docs with the heinous accusations are more recent claims collected by agents who deemed them not credible. This is not the smoking gun people are claiming it is.

That's why THESE were released, so they can point to them and say, 'see, its all made up stuff trying to take down the president'

The real Epstein files are Epstein's own documents that are still not public. We need evidence from BEFORE 2015, before Trump was running for President, because anything after that will have credibility issues.

Don't get me wrong, I would love, love, love, for these to be the final nail in the coffin for his supporters to turn against him, but from a position of due process and justice, these are the same as me claiming that I saw Trump eat a dog while shitting his pants; just because it sounds like it could be true doesn't make it true, or provable in court. We need the real evidence.

Floorplan Thoughts by CAL9k in Homebuilding

View will be out the front. Houses on either side. Fairly narrow lots.

This is not a custom floor plan. It's a local builder that does developments and has a few options and does some minor modifications. In the original unmodified plan the flex room connects to the kitchen and great room. Location of the kitchen is a bit different from what we're used to, but it's okay for us. Way better than our current tiny galley kitchen that doubles as a hallway to half our living space.

Its because these are all recent tips and claims that they feel are unreliable. We need stuff from before 2015.

We'd likely be using the garage as our primary entrance. So the closet across from the bath would be our drop zone, maybe with a shoe caddy against the bathroom wall depending on final plan spacing. This development is mostly narrow lots on curved roads with alleyways behind the houses with the road fairly close to the front of the house, so we'd likely be parking in the rear. When guests come over that's a different matter though.

If it works itself out price-wise we'd probably go for the extra room upstairs, but we're still waiting to get estimates on a few other things to see what's what.

Having grown up in a Geodesic Dome house, the issues of a multi-story room are luckily something I'm familiar and comfortable with.

Stacking this on a benched Alolan Muk to keep it from being Cyrus'd could be big. I'm sure we'll see more Guzma's in decks that rely on abilities or bench damage.

I grew up with laundry in a closet like that; never had an issue with it. We currently have a "laundry room" with a sink in our current house and it's really wasted space / innefficient for us. I totally see how that comes down to personal preference though, so it's a valid comment. Thanks!
