H1N1 In Perspective

Dennis Herman: Real Estate Agent in Menomonee Falls, WI

We have heard way too much about this H1N1 flu. The drug companies claim there is a shortage of shots. These are the same drug companies spending BILLIONS in advertising, most of which is during the news hour. I suspect these drug companies are threatening the media, telling them to create a scare so they can make more money. If they create a shortage, they raise th

Talk about CONTROL, this is only the beginning. After spending millions of dollars lobbying against any type of public health insurance plan, the same drug companies want the government to spent $18 BILLION dollars to publicly distribute the shot.

Let's gauge the scare tactic. How many people have died from the N1H1 virus this year?

4700 WORLD WIDE.

How many people are killed by drunk drivers in a year in the United States?

Over 13,000

If these drug companies were really concerned about our health, shouldn't they be spending money to loby against drunk driving?

Take precautions against the flu, but look at it in a realistic manner.

I don't know about you but I have been searching the internet looking for this information. To think this has been changed in July and no formal announcement was formulated.

QUESTION:
Re: Land Contracts and the first-time homebuyer tax credit.

ANSWER:

Here is the new addition from the IRS on their Q and A page at http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=206291,00.html.

Q. Can a taxpayer claim the first-time homebuyer credit if the purchase is pursuant to a seller financing arrangement (for example, a contract for deed, installment land sale contract, or long-term land contract), and the seller retains legal title to secure the taxpayer's payment obligations?

A. If the taxpayer obtains the "benefits and burdens" of ownership of a residence in a seller financing arrangement, then the taxpayer can claim the credit even though the seller retains legal title. Factors that indicate that a taxpayer has the benefits and burdens of ownership include: 1. the right of possession, 2. the right to obtain legal title upon full payment of the purchase price, 3. the right to construct improvements, 4. the obligation to pay property taxes, 5. the risk of loss, 6. the responsibility to insure the property and 7. the duty to maintain the property.
