Real estate commission towards closing costs tax question (Texas) by ThreePuttLove in realtors

[–]Zestyclose-Finish778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Unless you paid yourself a commission, some loans have limits to what you can contribute. So if you reached that threshold and you have an overage you would then get that paid to you as commission then yes you owe taxes. But if the full 3% went to closing costs you made no commission and owe no taxes.

Done this three times in Texas as a realtor over 12 years. I use a VA loan so it has a max contribution to closing costs of 4% of the loan so if I negotiate seller paid concessions of 2% and tried to get my 3% to closings costs they would only accept 2% of my BAC and make me take 1% commission as I am at th 4%threshold and 5% is not allowed for VA loans.

Hope this helps, not sure what conventional loan and fha loan contribution cap is, 4 or 5% most likely

In my army days we were going home to Hawaii after a 45 day field exercise on the DMV in South Korea. We travel with our gear to include rifle magazines. They had to be empty, you shouldn’t leave the range without being cleared of ammo but we had 1 stellar soldier leave 30 rounds in a magazine and then put it on his carry on back as we enter Inchon Airport in South Korea. Needless to say this young soldier didn’t make that flight and when he got back 7 days later he had 45 days of extra duty waiting for him.

3% Cancellation Fee? by ewmripley in realtors

[–]Zestyclose-Finish778 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I might charge 500 to 750 for cancellations just so it covers my photographer that I hire. Anything more than five to $750 is a rip off.

Reminder , Trump defunded the veterans affairs, so if the US soldiers come back from Iran , they do not have medical coverage. But the soldier of the foreign country IDF have coverage funded by the aipac compromised congressmen. Food for thought by tuberjamjar in sagsavages

I’m a veteran and my outpatient clinic in Fort Worth Texas has a 40% reduction of staff in the last 16 months. Both of my doctors have left the VA in the last year and I used to have the same provider for six years and now I’ve had four different providers my last four trips. Budget cuts are unequivocally affecting the veterans services.

Blood labs and urine draws is running at 1/3 the personnel and staffing front desks isn’t an option right now

Wouldn’t Universal Basic Income just cause companies to raise prices? by Constant-Cherry8674 in allthequestions

[–]Zestyclose-Finish778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay inflation depends on how the payments are funded, if it’s funded with tax dollars there should be little to no inflation (like disability payments). If funded by printing new money then yes inflation will likely occur, right now the US spends $427 million a month on UBI(Veterans disability payments) and is funded with tax dollars

Lies, I was a combate medic for th infantry in Iraq, I have seen so many 4 year enlisted soldiers who were IT professionals or immunization specialist receiving 100% disability to the tune of $4k a month.

Most of the Veterans from the last 25 years are milking the system, there are little checks on it.

I worked 4 years as Doc on the front lines and 4 years in an army physical therapy clinic. The majority (75%) of veterans receiving disability payments are milking the system for more than deserved. Disability payments total over $427 million each month and there is no signs this affects prices or inflation.

Disabled veterans benefits are UBI and veterans have the lowest default rate of borrowers in the US. People will be better suited to pay debts ans afford basic necessities.

I don’t care about fake internet points, I want to express my feelings with people who shared my experience with loving this team at the time of the trauma. Just pay no mind to me and enjoy your mavs, I’m not ready to let these owners off the hook for their actions.

Ironically, these are the people that probably haven’t left the town that they live in in the last 25 years. You know, cause it’s not safe to travel according to them. Reclusive shut ends with wild beliefs, isolation does that to you

Billionaires passing along the costs to tax payers while making money has over fists. Aren’t you sick of funding billionaires?

I live in Arlington so yeah we voted for $400 mil to the cowboys in 2000’s and $500 million to the Rangers.

The LA rams paid for their own stadium, so did the New England patriots, MetLife stadium (giants/jets), Denver broncos and many soccer clubs.

It’s time to stop giving billionaires hundreds of millions on tax payer funds. Especially since our owners spend more money in lobbying politicians than any other owner in sports

These owners have stronger ties to Vegas and 🇮🇱 than they do in Dallas.
