ParticipantThe co-op offered to brokers from a builder is not an incentive but is considered income and thus a 1099.
If you bought a house for 500000 and there was a 3% co-op, then the realtor will be given $15000 but the realtor is on the hook to pay taxes on all 15 grand. Then you can ask for your post tax split.May 30, 2007 at 4:14 PM in reply to: 4S ranch Silhouette starts to sell model homes! will it stop selling future houses?? #55570Alex_angel
ParticipantThe builder is in phase 4 or 5 of 9 phases so you’re right about this most likely being a lease option so probably an investor.
Since all signs are there about a decline wouldn’t this investor be smarter than to pay for a model as opposed to a base home then putting in 50K of their own cash to deck it up then save 50 grand in the long term?

Participantbugs, how can we find out if it was the same buyer? I was shocked when I heard how fast they sold.

ParticipantThey are right across the street from the school. I can only imagine the line of cars you have to pass through just to get in and out of your garage. Sure they are nice but nothing you couldn’t have done yourself for the extra $100,000 they added on top of the base price. Heck for $100000 on top of base price I can turn it into a palace and of colors and choices that I made not some random designer.

Participantseems no one wants plain white tiles. There is a housing community that is in the middle of their selling phases but still cannot sell one home from the first phase because the buyers dropped out last second and opted for no upgrades. Now whoever buys the home has no choice but to get standard everything and noone wants that. People want upgrades, granite, tiles, hardwood.
Me personally. I love carpet. I love lying on the floor and hardwood is not comfy for that. Buy a rug? What’s the point of having hardwood then?

ParticipantWow, nice to see what $700k is supposed to get you, not some 1800 sqft rat box in Chula Vista today.
Too bad I can’t get into a time warp back to 03 and bought into that community.
I saw that Philip Rivers was selling his Santa Luz home for over $2 mil. I wonder who bought it.

ParticipantI love you know it alls who know nothing. First of all I rana credit check through this bank 2 months ago for interest in another home, since the report is valid for 6 months this BANK agent, not realtor or property agent was able to pull it out and use it. So before you guys think you know it all here is your reality check.
