Reverse Mortgage

A reverse mortgage enables older homeowners (62 and over) to convert part of the equity in their homes into tax-free income without having to sell the home, give up title or take on a new monthly mortgage payment. The reverse mortgage is aptly named because the payment stream is “reversed.” Instead of making monthly payments to a lender, as with a regular mortgage, a lender makes payments to you. At Consumers First Title, we have the knowledge necessary to make sure your reverse mortgage closing is as smooth as any other.

Refinance

For many homeowners, there are large benefits to renewing the mortgage process on an existing home. Typically referred to as mortgage refinancing or a second mortgage, reapplying for a new loan can help you save money, earn cash, and lower your monthly payments.

FIRPTA

FIRPTA and the Withholding Tax on US Real Property

FIRPTA stands for the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act. This Act is enforced by the Internal Revenue Service. Foreign national sellers have specific requirements that apply to them when selling U.S. real property. If a seller is not a U.S. citizen or resident, FIRPTA requires a prepayment to the Internal Revenue Service of a withholding tax on the real property. How does FIRPTA affect foreign national sellers? Here is a brief explanation of the withholding tax regulation on real property and the limited exceptions:

Does FIRPTA apply to me?

Effective February 1, 2016

BUYER INTENDS TO USE AS A RESIDENCE?	SALES PRICE IS $300,000 OR LESS SALES PRICE IS GREATER THAN $300,000 & NOT OVER $1,000,000
Yes	Exemption*	10% withholding
No	15% withholding	10% withholding

Important Information Regarding FIRPTA Transactions

Who is responsible for sending the 15% tax to the Internal Revenue Service?

The title company is required to send the funds to the IRS within 21 days of closing.

Does FIRPTA apply to individuals or corporations?

FIRPTA applies to both foreign national, non-resident alien individuals, and companies. This includes foreign companies that may be registered to do business in the U.S., but are still regarded by the Internal Revenue Service as foreign entities for tax purposes. Individuals holding U.S. citizenship, passports, or green cards, are exempt from withholding. Certain other visas may be exempt, but please consult your tax advisor or Certified Public Accountant (CPA) for more information

Should I hire a Certified Public Accountant to help me with FIRPTA?

Yes. FIRPTA applications and returns can be a complicated process, riddled with delays and nuances. In addition, frequent follow up is required. If you need guidance or a referral for an accountant call us! We can provide you with several referrals.

When should I start the FIRPTA process?

Immediately. As soon as the individual or company is considering selling the real property, they need to start planning for FIRPTA.

Title Search/Property Information Report (formerly called O&E)

We offer to stand alone products for those who just need a property search independent of closing:

Property Information Report

A Property Information Report, previously known as an O&E or Owner Encumbrance Report, is a very popular type of basic search done for a quick, easy, and affordable public records search. This is a current owner search in the public records that will include the current deed, any mortgages, liens and any other encumbrances on the property and against the current owner only.

NOTE: This is not an examined product. The Company’s liability for this Report is limited to the cost of the report and extends only to the Customer who placed the order with the Company. This report is available next day usually but can be expedited to be available in as little as a hour.

Title Search

A Full 30 Yr. Title Search w/Covenants,Conditions,Restrictions is a report that reflects a 30 year search of the public records including the Warranty Deeds (or other similar instruments of conveyance) covering at least the past 30 years of title (ownership) to the property, open mortgages, assignments, modifications and limitations of mortgages, judgments, liens, property tax information, and covenants, conditions, and restrictions affecting the property. Copies of all pertinent documents are included with the report. This report is typically available in 24/28 hours but can be expedited to be available in as little as a few hours.

Quit Claim Deeds

A quit claim deed is an instrument used by a grantor to relinquish the grantor’s interest in real estate, in favor of a specified grantee. The quit claim deed is an instrument that does not come with any warranties of title, and should the grantor not possess title in the property attempting to be conveyed, or should there be a title defect, then the grantee acquires either nothing or the property subject to the cloud on title. In any event, the grantee will have no recourse against the grantor under the quit claim deed. For the reasons stated, the quit claim deed is an instrument best used to deed oneself out of the title to property, or as a curative instrument to clear a title defect, but not an instrument by which a grantee should acquire title to real property.

Important limitations and problems with quit claim deeds: The conveyance by quit claim deed is not insurable as part of a closing transaction. Additionally, a grantor of property who conveys the property via quit claim deed, loses the benefit of any Owner’s Title insurance that the grantor may possess.

Avoid common mistakes and title problems created by using store bought or online forms! Consumers First Title can provide professionally prepared Florida Quit Claim Deeds at a low cost that can be recorded in County public records.

Call us today! With just some basic information we can get started and even offer same day appointments and expedited recording if necessary.

Once you make the decision to work with us, you can expect to work with a team that will trust and respect your transaction and a focus on your satisfaction.
