Happy House hunting!!! ♠

 

 

Never thought of a house as an investment; then it is a good time to know about its pros and cons so that one can choose the path one feels comfortable.

When one buys a house with a sole aim of reselling them within a year; it is a good option. Let us go into the details. Buying a house when the projects starts and selling it, when it is completed will fetch good returns. But these are point to be considered,

1. If one funds the buying with his savings, then it is an attractive investment. But, when going for a loan, one has to pay the interest, not the EMI until you sell the house. This is a burden one has consider and there is no tax exemption.

2. Then there is the issue of capital gain tax which creeps in when one sells his house within the period of 3 years There is no possibility of tax saving in capital gains ,when one sells the house during this period.

There is another option. One can go for an outright purchase of a finished property. Paying the EMI and getting the rentals from the property and availing the tax deductions under 80C for the loan sounds good. One can enjoy the benefits of rent for 3 years, then sell the property. But there is a catch, rentals from the property is taxable.

All these scenarios have to be considered before taking a decision.

Throwing the door open for women empowerment in real estate sector, several state governments have given concession on buying property in wife’s name. It is really good idea and must be appreciated. The Delhi government is giving 2% concession on stamp duty, when one purchases property in wife name.

Finding it attractive, male members of the family have not left this benefit unattended and have used to their advantage. Buying multiple properties in wife’s name and then selling it within short span of time has done the trick for them.

A lot thing is talked, regarding women empowerment. Issues and solutions include social, economical, legal empowerment. But this act of some state government is really working out.

There are other reasons to celebrate. Joint registration has its own benefits. Property jointly registered in states like Delhi is given 1% discount in stamp duty. It is welcome sign. One more reason to smile is that, co owners can claim deduction up to 1.5 lakhs for the interest paid on the home loan if it is self occupied. In case the property is let out, the entire amount of interest can be claimed by both husband and wife.

The beauty of registering in your wife name is that when your business is running into loses, then your wife property is not be disturbed and remains independent and cannot be attached for claiming losses.
You can also gain some benefits with regards to wealth tax. But your spouse has to contributed for the purchase of the property to avail this benefit.

There are very few people who know about these facilities. It is really a good step by some state government in promoting gender equality.
