#31: Your Home: Mortgages, Refinancings, Ownership, Sale, Insurance, and Taxation

Includes Investment and Business Properties and Home Offices

Your home is probably one of the most valuable assets you will ever own. But managing that asset is more complicated today because of changes in the mortgage market, insurance provisions, and government regulations on capital gain taxation and deductions. You need to familiarize yourself with the rules, restrictions, and options on home ownership, especially in the four areas where homeowners are most likely to make expensive mistakes:

1. financing the home
2. selling it
3. establishing the cost basis
4. insuring it

This Resource Report will help you avoid the pitfalls in mortgage agreements, protect your home deductions, and maintain adequate insurance coverage. It also will guide you in deciding when to refinance and alert you to the impact of points, the interest rate, and loan repayment terms.

Other topics: Interest rate comparisons, points, cost basis, capital gain exclusions, prepayment penalties, loan restrictions, tax rules, insurance policy clauses, second and vacation homes, and business use of a home.
