SPECIAL REPORT
TAX CHANGE WOULD CUT PARTNERSHIP PROFITS
A heated debate over how profits from partnerships will be taxed could have an adverse impact on the income of general, or operating, partners in most real estate partnerships. The bill, H.R. 2834, would eliminate the currently favorable tax treatment for all carried interest received by any partner or fund manager who provides “investment management services” to a partnership or fund. Historically, carried interest has been taxed as a capital gain. H.R. 2834 specifies that those who provide services to manage and operate real estate partnerships must now pay taxes on the carried interest at ordinary income rates. If this bill becomes law, it could significantly increase the tax burden for commercial real estate practitioners who act as an operating partner for a partnership. A companion bill in the Senate, S. 1624, would focus only on private equity and hedge funds and would apply exclusively to publicly traded partnerships.

An old friend is coming back into favor.
I can’t wait.
With the crash of subprime lenders, homeowners are going to struggle to sell their houses. Harry Homeowner and Betty Buyer are going to be denied a new home loan for 90-95% of the loan value left and right, simply because these ARMs, interest only (I/O) and other exotic loan products are drying up.

Here is something most people won’t share with you. It is ok though, most people don’t know it. Even the “investor’s realtor’s” out there think they do, but really don’t. Here it is “YOUR CAP RATE IS LYING TO YOU”.
What?!

Reports minutes ago from the Federal Government stated that interest rates will remain at there current levels. It is important to note that they mentioned inflation but did not mention the subprime mortgage fall out or the housing market directly.
Todays rates are at 5.25%.
Please post below any thoughts or comments on how this will effect the current housing situation.
