Description

In equity sharing both parties benefit from the relationship. Equity sharing, also known as housing equity partnership (HEP), gives a person the opportunity to purchase a home even if he cannot afford a mortgage on the whole of the current value. Often the remaining share is held by the house builder, property owner or a housing association. Both parties receive tax benefits. Another advantage is the return on investment for the investor, while for the occupier a home becomes readily available even when funds are insufficient.

Click below to view the eight pieces of information in a gift letter and why lenders request each one: The exact dollar amount of the gift. The donor's signed statement that no repayment is expected.

A Gift Letter This letter states the amount of equity that the sellers are gifting along with the address of the property. The letter also lists the relationship between the owners and the buyers and must include a statement that the equity is a gift, one that the buyers don't have to repay.

While gifting property is legally permissible in Florida, the process involves specific documentation, including the preparation of a deed—typically a quitclaim deed or warranty deed—outlining the transfer and recording it with the county recorder's office.

The seller must obtain an official home appraisal to ascertain fair market value and also sign a gift letter that describes the buyer-seller relationship and states that the equity is a gift the buyer is not obligated to repay. The buyer must follow the typical process for buying a home.

If your parents sell you their home for $100,000 and it's worth $300,000, their gift of equity equals $200,000, the difference between what they're selling the home for and how much it is actually worth. A gift of equity is valuable.

Each individual is responsible to file a Form 709. You must file a gift tax return to split gifts with your spouse (regardless of their amount) as described in Part III Spouse's Consent on Gifts to Third Parties, later. If a gift is of community property, it is considered made one-half by each spouse.

Use Form 709 to report: Transfers subject to the federal gift and certain generation-skipping transfer (GST) taxes. Allocation of the lifetime GST exemption to property transferred during the transferor's lifetime.

Gifted equity requirements The letter should be signed by the buyer and the seller. Funds must also be properly documented through financial records. So, be prepared to provide copies of your recent bank statements, your donor's recent bank statements, and copies of cashier's checks.

Gifts of equity, like other gifts, aren't taxable to the recipient. The seller might have to file a gift return. They're allowed to give $15,000 per person each year without having to file a gift return. So, if the gift of equity they gave you is less than $30,000, they don't have to file the return.
