10 Surprising Ways to Get Money From the Government Involving Real Estate

If you purchased your home using a HUD/FHA insured mortgage, you may be able to get a refund on part of the insurance premium.

To qualify for the refund, you must have purchased your home after September 1, 1983.  You can not be in default on your mortgage.  You also must have paid on that mortgage for seven years.

You can search HUD’s website at http://www.hud.gov/refunds/index.cfm your name or case number to find out if you are due a refund or write:

US Department of Housing and Urban Development

Post Office Box 23699

Washington, DC 20026

or call

800-697-6967

Did you know that the government and more importantly the IRS gives 70% tax credit for an investor that invest and owns low income housing?  To file visit http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8586.pdf.

The IRS requires that the owner files the claim as part of his or her business credit.    There are, however, special requires for the owner to qualify.  The owner must completed Form 8609, and it  must be filed with the owner’s Federal income tax return.   In addition, the owner must file the Form 8609 for each of the 15 taxable years of the compliance period.   If the owner fails to file the proper forms  the compensation received will be treated as a mathematical or clerical error.  Therefore, if you feel that you qualify please review the rules for Form 8609.  Once you have reviewed and complied with the requires of Form 8609 then file it as required.

Still yet, did you know that you can get a ten percent credit from the IRS for fixing up building buildings built before 1936?  You will need to meet the requires listed on Form 3468.

If you are adventurous, then why not fix up a historic building for a twenty percent credit.  Once again, you will use Form 3468.
