Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #27

July 12-19 2024

President Biden announced the cancellation of $1.2 billion dollars worth of student loan debt. This will cancel the debt of 35,000 public service workers, such as teachers, nurses, and firefighters. This brings the total number of people who've had their student debt relived under the Biden Administration to 4.8 million or one out of every ten people with student loan debt, for a total of $168.5 billion in debt forgiven. This came after the Supreme Court threw out an earlier more wide ranging student debt relief plan forcing the administration to undertake a slower more piecemeal process for forgiving debt. President Biden announced a new plan in the spring that will hopefully be finalized by fall that will forgive an additional 30 million people's student loan debt.

President Biden announced actions to lower housing coasts, make more housing available and called on Congress to prevent rent hikes. President Biden's plan calls for landlords who raise the rent by more than 5% a year to face losing major important tax befits, the average rent has gone up by 21% since 2021. The President has also instructed the federal government, the largest land owner in the country, to examine how unused property can be used for housing. The Bureau of Land Management plans on building 15,000 affordable housing units on public land in southern Nevada, the USPS is examining 8,500 unused properties across America to be repurposed for housing, HHS is finalizing a new rule to make it easier to use federal property to house the homeless, and the Administration is calling on state, local, and tribal governments to use their own unused property for housing, which could create approximately 1.9 million units nationwide.

The Department of Transportation announced $5 billion to replace or restore major bridges across the country. The money will go to 13 significant bridges in 16 states. Some bridges are suffering from years of neglect others are nearly 100 years old and no longer fit for modern demands. Some of the projects include the I-5 bridge over the Columbia River which connects Portland Oregon to Vancouver Washington, replacing the Sagamore Bridge which connects Cape Cod to the mainland built in 1933, replacing the I- 83 South Bridge in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and Cape Fear Memorial Bridge Replacement Project in Wilmington, North Carolina, among others.

President Biden signed an Executive Order aimed at boosting Latino college attendance. The order established the White House Initiative on Advancing Educational Equity, Excellence, and Economic Opportunity through Hispanic-Serving Institutions. Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) are defined as colleges with 25% or above Hispanic/Latino enrollment, currently 55% of Hispanic college students are enrolled in an HSI. The initiative seeks to stream line the relationship between the federal government and HSIs to allow them to more easily take advantage of federal programs and expand their reach to better serve students and boost Hispanic enrollment nationwide.

HUD announced $325 million in grants for housing and community development in 7 cities. the cities in Tennessee, Texas, Alabama, Florida, Nevada, New York and New Jersey, have collectively pledged to develop over 6,500 new mixed-income units, including the one-for-one replacement of 2,677 severely distressed public housing units. The 7 collectively will invest $2.65 billion in additional resources within the Choice Neighborhood area – so that every $1 in HUD funds will generate $8.65 in additional resources.

President Biden took extensive new actions on immigration. On June 18th The President announced a new policy that would allow the foreign born spouses and step children of American citizens who don't have legal status to apply for it without having to leave the country, this would effect about half a million spouses and 50,000 children. This week Biden announced that people can start applying on August 19, 2024. Also in June President Biden announced an easing of Visa rules that will allow Dreamers, Americans brought to the country as children without legal status, to finally get work visas to give them legal status and a path way to citizenship. This week the Biden Administration announced a new rule to expand the federal TRIO program to cover Dreamers. TRIO is a program that aims to support low income students and those who would be the first in their families to go to college transition from high school to college, the change would support 50,000 more students each year. The Administration also plans to double the number of free immigration lawyers available to those going through immigration court.

The EPA announced $160 million in grants to support Clean U.S. Manufacturing of Steel and Other Construction Materials. The EPA estimates that the manufacturing of construction materials, such as concrete, asphalt, steel, and glass, accounts for 15% of the  annual global greenhouse gas emissions. The EPA is supporting 38 projects aimed at measuring and combatting the environmental impact of construction materials.

The US announced $203 million in humanitarian assistance for the people of Sudan. Sudan's out of control civil war has caused the largest refugee crisis in the world with 11 million Sudanese having fled their homes in the face of violence. The war is also causing the gravest food crisis in the world, with a record setting 25 million people facing acute food insecurity, and fears that nearly a million will face famine in the next months. This aid brings the total aid the US has given Sudan since September 2023 to $1.6 billion, making America the single largest donor to Sudan.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau put forward a new rule that would better regulate popular paycheck advance products. 2/3rds of workers are payed every two weeks or once a month and since 2020 the number of short term loans that allow employees to receive their paycheck days before it’s scheduled to hit their account has grown by 90%. the CFPB says that many of these programs are decided with employers not employees and millions of Americans are paying fees they didn't know about before signing up. The new rule would require lenders to tell costumers up front about any and all fees and charges, as well as cracking down on deceptive "tipping" options.

How to Budget Your First Home Purchase with a Local Real Estate Agent in Garden Ridge

Buying your first home is an exciting milestone, and with the right planning and guidance, it can also be a smooth and enjoyable process. If you are considering purchasing a home in Garden Ridge, Texas, working with a local real estate agent can be invaluable.

In this article, you can read in brief how to budget for your first home purchase, how to qualify for down payment assistance, debunk common misconceptions about these programs, and what to look for in a local real estate agent in Garden Ridge can help you navigate the process.

Budgeting is the foundation of a successful home purchase. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you manage your finances effectively:

1. Assess Your Financial Situation

Start by evaluating your current financial status. Review your income, expenses, and any outstanding debts. Create a detailed budget to understand how much you can comfortably afford to spend on a home.

2. Determine Your Down Payment

Traditionally, a down payment of 20% of the home’s purchase price is recommended. However, many first-time buyers put down less. In Garden Ridge, with its diverse range of housing options, you might find that a lower down payment is feasible. Consider your savings and explore local down payment assistance programs to determine what’s best for you.

3. Calculate Monthly Mortgage Payments

Use online mortgage calculators to estimate your monthly payments based on different loan amounts, interest rates, and terms. Don’t forget to include property taxes, homeowners insurance, and potential HOA fees.

4. Consider Additional Costs

Beyond the down payment and monthly mortgage, factor in other expenses such as closing costs, moving costs, and any immediate home repairs or upgrades.

5. Plan for Future Expenses

Homeownership comes with ongoing costs, including maintenance, utilities, and repairs. Make sure your budget accounts for these future expenses to avoid financial strain.

How to Qualify for Down Payment Assistance

Down payment assistance programs can significantly ease the financial burden of buying a home. Here’s how to qualify:

Understand Program Requirements: Different programs have various eligibility criteria. Generally, you need to meet income limits, be a first-time homebuyer (or not have owned a home in the past three years), and buy a home within certain price limits. Research local programs in Garden Ridge to find one that fits your needs.

Check Your Credit Score: Many down payment assistance programs require a minimum credit score. Check your credit report and work on improving your score if necessary.

Complete Required Education: Some programs require homebuyer education courses. These courses provide valuable information about the home buying process and can be a great resource for first-time buyers.

Prepare Documentation: Gather necessary documentation, including proof of income, tax returns, and bank statements. Being organized will help streamline the application process.

Potential Types of Assistance – Down Payment Assistance Programs Garden Ridge

There are many DPA programs available for home buyers in Garden Ridge and in Texas. Here are some examples of potential types of assistance that you can explore:

Grants: This is one type of down payment assistance program available in Garden Ridge that is non-repayable. Funds are granted for down payments or closing costs

Loans: Repayable funds generally at a discounted rate, such as TDHCA’s loan for first-time buyers and NHSSA’s loan program.

Tax Credits: Offset tax liability, potentially boosting your monthly income for mortgage payments. TDHCA and TSAHC offer tax credit programs.

Discounts: Lower home or loan costs to minimize upfront or ongoing expenses.

Conclusion

Budgeting for your first home purchase in Garden Ridge involves careful planning and consideration. Working with a local real estate agent who understands the area and the nuances of down payment assistance can make the process much smoother. By budgeting wisely, qualifying for assistance, and choosing the right agent, you can navigate your first home purchase with confidence and ease.

death and taxes — sundays

Look what the deed has done

Community property and separate property implications of the simple deed

No one dies in this column.

There will be no talk of grieving widows or unhappy orphans. Instead, this column will be devoted to a lighthearted topic: deeds and why their wording matters.

Texas, you see, is a community property state.

When you are married, your real property is characterized aseither community or separate.

Property acquired during marriage is presumed to be community property.

Property acquired before marriage, by gift or by inheritance, is presumed to be separate property.

In adivorce, the court can divide the community property, but aspouse usually gets to keep his or her separate property.

Thus, the spouse has ahuge incentive to prove property is separate property.

Let's see how that plays out with a notoriously tricky document: the deed.

Brenda and Frank Raymond were married on June 20, 1987.

Before marrying, Frank had purchased a lot in Lake Jackson, Texas.

That made it Frank's separate property.

After marriage, at Brenda's urging, Frank executed a deed conveying an undivided one-half interest in the property to her. Then they divorced. Frank claimed that he never intended for Brenda to have an interest in the Lake Jackson property. Not so, said the court. The deed he signed to Brenda was a gift. A gift is separate property. When they divorced, Frank owned an undivided half-interest in the Lake Jackson lot as his separate property, and Brenda owned an undivided half-interest as her separate property. Let's move on to Anthony and Victoria Ustanik. They were married on July 17, 2010. After marriage, Anthony acquired a property in Alvarado from his parents.

The deed recited "Anthony Ustanik, a Married Person," as the grantee.

Anthony and Victoria then filed for divorce. Anthony claimed the property was a gift to him from his parents, and therefore his separate property.

Not so, said the court. The property was acquired during marriage and was presumed to be community property. Anthony had to overcome that presumption.

While he claimed the property was a gift, the language in the deed recited that the property was conveyed to Anthony for consideration of $10 "and other good and valuable consideration."

That is not the language for agift. A gift is a voluntary transfer of property made gratuitously and without consideration.

That brings us to Michael and Texie Nash. They were married on Aug. 6, 1997. Between 2000 and 2011, Michael purchased several properties that were deeded just to him.

Then they divorced. Michael claimed those properties were his separate property.

One was the Grubb Pottery Warehouse property. Michael had signed the contract to purchase the property, the loan was solely in his name and the deed was in his name.

The court found it was community property because it was purchased during marriage.

Another property was the Loop and 59 Tract.

It was deeded only to Michael, and the loan was solely in his name. Both Lexi and Michael signed the deed of trust securing the loan. The court found it was Michael's separate property.

Why the difference? Because the deed recited it was conveyed to Michael, "a married man, as his sole and separate property and not joined in …byhis spouse …" That negated the community property presumption.

When Lexi signed the deed of trust, she became a party to the transaction and therefore gifted her interest to him. This same type of analysis plays out daily in probate court, where property characterization can wipe out an entire estate plan. Deeds are indeed important.

Hard-and-fast rules

No death benefit for widow of husband who was having an affair

Q: My husband of 49 years died afew months ago.

Ifiled for widow's benefits and started receiving them with no problem.

But I got aletter telling me that I was not eligible for the $255 death benefit.

When Icalled the Social Security people to ask about this, they told me that Iwasn't due that one-time benefit because wewere not living together when he died.

I'm ashamed to admit that my husband had been living with another woman for several years before hedied. But it seems odd to me that Ican get his monthly widow's benefits, but Ican't get the burial benefit. Can you explain this

A: Yes, Ican. It all has to do with the weird story behind that one-time $255 "death benefit."

Before Ican answer your question, I've got to get into alittle history. It didn't start out as adeath benefit, per se, at least not in the context it is thought of today. Itcertainly was never meant to be a"burial benefit" as you and many other people call it.

As part of the thinking that went into the original Social Security act passed in 1935, Congress realized that many of the new Social Security taxpayers would die before they ever had a chance to collect benefits.

Or they would die without having earned enough "quarters of coverage" to be insured for survivor benefits for any dependents.

So, they decided to compensate the families of a loved one who died with some form of reimbursement for the Social Security taxes that the deceased had paid into the system.

They set up aonetime benefit they called the "lump sum death payment."

It was originally intended to reimburse the family with an amount equal to 3.5% of the money the deceased had paid into the system.

It was supposed to be a temporary benefit, because Congress knew that as time passed, most workers would be paying a sufficient amount of money into Social Security that they would be insured for survivor benefits.

In other words, when a taxpayer died, the widow or widower (and any minor children) would get monthly benefits -so this lump sum payout would no longer be needed.

But as often happens with government programs, once you start paying a benefit, it's hard to take it away.

Over the years, there have been any number of proposals to eliminate the lump sum death payment.

But as miserly as the benefit is, it's a popular feature of the Social Security program.

Politicians soon learned that tampering with itmeant an automatic loss in the next election.

So the "temporary benefit" never went away.

Congress has occasionally made some relatively minor adjustments to the original law. In1954, they capped the benefit at $255 -and it's remained at that level ever since. In 1983, when politicians were looking for ways to save money in the Social Security system, they restricted the payment of the onetime death payment to a "spouse who was living with the deceased at the time of death." Because your husband was living with another woman when he died, you don't qualify for that death benefit.

Today, we essentially have a meaningless one-time miserly payment that comes with restrictions.

Perhaps 50 years ago, $255 paid the cost of a funeral. Of course, today, it barely covers the price of the flowers. If I were the king of the Social Security world, I would do one of two things.

Either I would raise the death benefit to something meaningful -say, $2,500 -or I would simply eliminate it.

But I'm a columnist, not a king. So all Ican do it explain the law and answer any questions you might have about it. Here are a few more.

Q: My wife recently died. She was ahomemaker all of her life, so she was getting spousal benefits on my record. Everything went fine with stopping her Social Security checks. But Ihave two questions. When will Iget the $255 death benefit? And will my benefit gouptogive me credit for the spousal share that was being deducted from my checks? I'm sorry, but the $255

A: death benefit isonly paid onthe account of someone who had worked and paid Social Security taxes. Itsounds like your wife never did that because she was just receiving spousal benefits, not her own Social Security. The money paid toa spouse is just an "add-on" benefit. In other words, nothing was taken out of your retirement check to pay her, so your retirement benefit rate will remain the same.

Q: My husband died fiveyears ago when Iwas in my late 50s. Idon't ever remember getting the death benefit. Was itautomatic? No, it's not automatic.

A: Youmust apply for the death benefit. I'm not sure, but it might be too late to file for it now. To find out, call Social Security at 800-772-1213.

Q: My father died onJune 25. My parents were divorced, although they were still close friends. My mother applied for and started getting divorced widow's benefits on his record. But I have two questions. Why did she have to return his June check? And why didn't she get the $255 death benefit?

A: She had toreturn theJune check because Social Security benefits are not prorated. Since your father didn't live the entire month of June, the check for that month had to be returned. But there is an upside tothat lack of prorating: Your mother started getting divorced widow's benefits for the whole month of June, even though she was awidow for only five days in that month.

As far the death benefit goes, the law says it can only be paid toawidow who was living with the deceased at the time of death. I assume your divorced parents weren't living together, which is why the $255 can't be paid to her.

Investing Made Easy: Owner Financed Land Opportunities

The dream of owning land is within reach, thanks to innovative financing options like owner financing. At Lonestar Land Sales, we specialize in making this dream a reality by offering a diverse range of owner financed land opportunities across Texas. Whether you’re seeking a serene retreat, a productive plot for farming, or an investment property, our team is here to guide you through the benefits and process of owner financing.

What is Owner Financing? Owner financing, also known as seller financing, is an alternative to traditional bank loans where the seller of the property acts as the lender. Instead of obtaining a mortgage from a bank or financial institution, the buyer makes payments directly to the seller over an agreed period. This option can simplify the purchasing process and make land ownership more accessible, especially for those who may not qualify for conventional financing.

Why Choose Owner Financed Land?

Owner financing offers several compelling advantages, particularly for buyers who may face obstacles with traditional lending routes. Here’s why owner financed land can be a game-changer:

Simplified Qualification Process One of the biggest advantages of owner financing is the simplified qualification process. Unlike traditional lenders that require extensive credit checks, financial statements, and lengthy approval processes, owner financing focuses more on the buyer’s ability to make payments. This flexibility can be especially beneficial if you have less-than-perfect credit or unconventional financial situations.

Flexible Terms Owner financing often comes with more flexible terms compared to traditional loans. Sellers are typically more open to negotiating the terms of the financing agreement, including the down payment, interest rates, and repayment period. This flexibility allows you to tailor the financing to fit your budget and financial goals.

Faster Closing The closing process for owner financed land can be quicker than traditional real estate transactions. Without the need for bank approvals and appraisals, the transaction can move forward more smoothly and efficiently. This speed can be advantageous if you’re eager to secure a property quickly.

Less Stringent Requirements Owner financing often involves fewer requirements and less paperwork than traditional loans. This reduced complexity can streamline the purchase process and make it easier for you to acquire the land you desire without getting bogged down in bureaucratic hurdles.

Why Buy Land in Texas? Texas offers a wide array of land options that appeal to various interests and needs. From sprawling ranches and peaceful countryside to bustling urban areas and scenic retreats, the Lone Star State has something for everyone. Here’s why investing in Texas land is a smart choice:

Diverse Land Opportunities Texas boasts a diverse range of land types, including agricultural plots, residential lots, and commercial properties. This diversity allows you to find land that suits your specific needs and preferences, whether you’re looking to build a home, start a business, or invest in real estate.

Robust Economy and Growth The Texas economy is one of the strongest in the nation, with a steady rate of growth and development. This economic vitality drives demand for land and can contribute to appreciation in property values. Investing in Texas land offers the potential for long-term financial gains as the state continues to expand.

Low Property Taxes Compared to many other states, Texas has relatively low property taxes. This favorable tax environment helps to enhance the attractiveness of land ownership, allowing you to enjoy your property without the burden of high taxes.

Prime Locations for Investment Property for Sale

Prime locations for investment property for sale offer unparalleled opportunities for significant returns and long-term value. Urban centers with strong job markets, such as New York, Los Angeles, and Miami, attract a steady stream of tenants, ensuring high occupancy rates. Coastal cities and tourist hotspots like Orlando and Las Vegas provide lucrative vacation rental prospects. Emerging markets with rapid economic growth, such as Austin and Nashville, promise substantial property appreciation. Additionally, areas with top-rated schools and amenities appeal to families, guaranteeing stable rental demand. Identifying these prime locations allows investors to capitalize on favorable market conditions, ensuring a profitable and secure investment in real estate.

Identifying the Best Markets for Investment Property for Sale

When seeking investment property for sale, it's crucial to identify markets with strong growth potential. Look for cities with robust job markets, population growth, and economic stability.

Evaluating the Condition of Investment Property for Sale

Investors have various options, including conventional loans, hard money loans, and private financing. Understanding the pros and cons of each financing method helps in selecting the best option to maximize return on investment. It’s also beneficial to have a strong credit score and a substantial down payment to secure favorable loan terms.

Analyzing the Rental Income Potential of Investment Property for Sale

A key factor in choosing investment property for sale is its rental income potential. Analyze the local rental market, average rental rates, and vacancy rates to estimate potential income. Consider properties in high-demand areas with low vacancy rates and stable rental prices. Additionally, look at the property's features, such as number of bedrooms, amenities, and proximity to schools or business districts, which can influence rental demand and income.

Understanding the Legal Aspects of Investment Property for Sale

Investing in property involves understanding various legal aspects. This includes zoning laws, property taxes, landlord-tenant laws, and building codes. It’s essential to conduct due diligence to ensure the investment property for sale complies with all local regulations. Consulting with a real estate attorney or a professional familiar with local real estate laws can prevent legal issues and protect your investment.

Leveraging Property Management for Investment Property for Sale

Effective property management is vital for the success of any investment property for sale. Consider whether you will manage the property yourself or hire a professional property management company. Professional managers can handle tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance, and legal compliance, freeing up your time and ensuring the property is well-maintained. This can lead to higher tenant satisfaction, reduced vacancy rates, and consistent rental income.

Forecasting Long-Term Appreciation of Investment Property for Sale

When evaluating investment property for sale, consider its long-term appreciation potential. Research historical property value trends in the area and future development plans that could impact property values. Locations with planned infrastructure improvements, new business developments, and community enhancements are likely to see property value increases. Investing in such areas can lead to substantial appreciation over time, adding to the overall profitability of your investment.

Conclusion

Identifying prime locations for investment property for sale is crucial for maximizing returns and ensuring long-term value. Urban centers with robust job markets, coastal cities with high tourist traffic, and emerging markets with rapid growth present excellent opportunities. Additionally, areas with top-rated schools and desirable amenities attract stable, long-term tenants. Thoroughly researching these prime locations and understanding local market dynamics can lead to lucrative investment decisions. By focusing on areas with strong demand, favorable economic conditions, and potential for property appreciation, investors can secure profitable and sustainable real estate investments, ultimately achieving their financial goals and building a successful property portfolio.

Avoiding Common Mistakes in Texas Home Mortgage Applications

Buying a home is a significant milestone, and securing a mortgage is often essential in making that dream a reality. However, the mortgage application process can be complex, especially for first-time homebuyers. To help you navigate this process with confidence, here are common mistakes to avoid when applying for a Texas home mortgage.

Neglecting to Check Your Credit Score: Your credit score is crucial for mortgage eligibility and interest rates. Review your credit report for errors and improve your score if necessary by paying off debts and making timely payments.

Overlooking Mortgage Pre-Approval: Skipping pre-approval is a major mistake. Pre-approval clarifies your borrowing capacity and shows sellers you're a serious buyer. Without it, you might lose your dream home to pre-approved buyers.

Failing to Shop Around for Rates: Interest rates vary among lenders, so compare offers from multiple institutions. Don’t settle for the first rate you’re offered; research and negotiate to get the best terms. Even a slightly lower rate can save you a significant amount over the loan's life.

Overextending Your Budget: Avoid the temptation to stretch your budget for a larger or more expensive home. Taking on too much debt can strain your finances and lead to stress. Consider property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs when setting your budget.

Making Major Financial Changes Before Closing: After pre-approval, maintain financial stability until closing. Avoid significant purchases or new debt, as this can affect your loan approval. Lenders re-verify your financials before closing, and any changes could disrupt the process.

By avoiding these mistakes and taking a proactive approach to the Texas home mortgage application process, you can increase your chances of securing a loan that fits your needs and budget. Stay informed, seek professional guidance, and be patient. With careful planning and attention to detail, you'll be closer to achieving your homeownership goals in Texas.
