Real Estate for Education Charitable Organization
Real Estate Donations - Donate Real Estate or other Assests
What is in it for You:
Once you have all of your materials needs taken care of, which of course you have, there are very few things in life which can elevate your level of happiness, one of these things is contributing to a cause larger than yourself. You have been very successful over the years, accumulating many properties or other types of assets; you now feel it's time to pay forward by giving others the opportunity to be as successful as you have been.
Most people do not have a large real estate portfolio. Those that do have found out they can enjoy significant financial benefits
and provide a charitable benefit to the community at the same time with a real estate donation.
A real estate donation to Real Estate for Education Charitable Organization
can help you rid yourself of non-producing properties and also avoid capital gains tax on highly appreciated property.
A real estate donation significantly reduces your legal and tax liabilities on the properties you donate and more efficiently attain personal financial goals while also supporting the Real Estate for Education Charitable Organization and help worthy students or our many charitable endeavors.
Size of Tax Deduction Determined by Current Market Value
One of the advantages to being a donor is that the size of the tax deduction is determined by the current market value of the property, as opposed to the cost of the property when it was purchased.
Example:
You purchased your property in 1992 for $112,000 and today in 2011 it is worth $412,000,
the current value is what you base your tax deduction on.
Other Reasons to Donate Real Estate
The answer is in many cases, if one takes into consideration on going property taxes, maintenance costs, income taxes-
or if the property is sold, the cost of legal fees, brokerage fees,
estate taxes, inheritance taxes and capital gains taxes--
it is often financially preferable to donate properties to Real Estate for Education Charitable Organization.
It also saves heirs the trouble of dividing up the gains if the will is potentially contentious or inequitable. Sometimes there are intangible benefits as well.
Who Should Consider Donating Real Estate?
Those that want to help improve the communities in which they live. Ideally, this should be the greatest consideration.
Businesses with properties that are idle, lacking a positive cash flow and are assets that will never reach any useable potential.
Fully deprecated properties that do not serve the financial interests of the donor.
Uninsured catastrophes that are more a detriment financially to continue to maintain.
A Life Estate or Charitable Gift Annuity
There are also ways of donating a home but still being able to enjoy it during one's lifetime . Property owners can create a
life estate, which allows them to live in the house, with the understanding that the property title will be transferred to a given charity upon death. Owners still receive the charitable tax deduction while they are living
, and depending on the property and its income potential, they may even be able to get lifetime annuity . At the same time, they avoid passing on the tax burden to family members after death.
A life estate is an especially attractive option for large properties, in cases where heirs may be unable to afford the ongoing
maintenance costs and property taxes. That way, even if one's family is no longer able to enjoy a home, by donating real estate they can keep more of what, in the long run, is more useful: cold cash.
