Some people end up getting eaten alive when a family member passes and you inherit the property. Below is a great way of looking at the overview of this process. It doesn't matter if it's a Destin Florida Condo or if it's a Destin Florida Home. Take the time to find a qualified accountant, attorney and real estate professional to assist you!!
Daily Real Estate News August 28, 2008What to Know About Inheriting Property Inheriting property can be exceedingly confusing for the heirs, particularly if they plan to sell the property. While getting expert legal advice is the best approach for the person who has inherited property, here is some basic information that can help a real estate professional better understand the situation.
Every state has a legal process that allows the person who was willed property to transfer ownership of it from the previous owner’s name to the new owner’s name. The attorney assisting with the probate of the will can help fill out the forms. If there is no lawyer involved, sometimes someone in the clerk of courts office can guide the person inheriting property through the transfer process.
Generally, there is little or no transfer tax or other cost involved because the person who is inheriting the property didn’t pay anything for it.
When a person dies and title is transferred to a spouse or a child, the due-on-sale clause in a mortgage contract doesn’t apply. Otherwise, while a lender could call the loan, in the current economic climate it is unlikely if the person inheriting the property makes regular payments.Source: Real Estate Matters Syndicate, Ilyce Glink (08/24/2008)
Many people get overwhelmed and are already way too emotional to be able to handle so much stress. Take the time to allow qualified people to be of assistance!

Cash is King!
Today's investors whether in the Destin Florida Condo market or in any real estate transaction, times are getting tough. Banks are tight and many are closing...this is going to be a great time for people that can still borrow money and even better with the right guidance!
We have taken some time to talk online about short sales and foreclosures, but take a look below for different take on what's happening:
Investors With Cash Are Kings in Today's Market
Some are calling this the best market for investors since real estate tanked in the early 1980s. Investors, alone and in groups, are negotiating volume deals as they purchase whole subdivisions and bundles of 10 to 50 defaulted loans for pennies on the dollar. "What we're seeing today dwarfs [the 1980s] by five or 10 times," says Bob Leonetti, president of SMI Funding, an Austin, Texas, company that originates and acquires private and conventional mortgages. "There are huge opportunities for investors.""People who have cash positions now are going to do very well," says Central Florida real estate practitioner Mike Norvell of Developers Capital Realty in Leesburg, Fla. "It's just crazy the prices you can buy for right now for cash."

Lending Getting tighther
Well times aren't getting much better. The strong will survive this market...or at least those that can weather the storm we should say! We have broken out a few intersting articles at www.InvestSmarter.com to target in on what we are seeing but here is an interesting story about lending:
Daily Real Estate News July 1, 2008Mortgage Ruling Could Have Big Impact The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is expected to rule sometime this month on a case that could force the U.S. banking industry to cancel or rescind loans if borrowers prove that their lenders violated a federal lending disclosure law.The decisions stems from a lawsuit filed by a Wisconsin couple who last year sued their bank and sought class action status. The judge not only agreed to that but also ruled that borrowers could force the bank to rescind their loans as a class remedy.Should the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agree that rescission be a class remedy, banking industry analysts predict "confusion and market disruption" as banks curtail lending further."If class treatment is found to be available for rescission ... the result all over the country could be massive class suits," says Christine Scheuneman, a partner at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, which represented Chevy Chase Bank in the initial lawsuit. Supporters of rescission as a remedy say the banking industry is overstating the results of such a ruling. Both sides agree that the U.S. Supreme Court will likely decide the case.Source: Reuters News, Gina Keating (06/30/08)
