Your income tax rate will go up in January 2025

That great 2017 tax bill which gave us all a big tax break is going away.  Elected officials can't seem to get it reauthorized before the end of the year.  It is getting in the way of at least one campaign that wants to scrap it because they did not create it.  They want to replace it with some other program. Because we can not trust our elected officials to reauthorize the bill, it's time to do some serious tax planning for this year.  Small businesses will lose some big benefits and they may want to take advantage while they can. Retired persons may want to remove some funds from their tax-deferred plans while the tax rates are lower.      Listen to our podcast about this topic so you can take action before the end of the year and let your elected officials know where you stand.

Your house is listed for sale and someone wants to deal outside of the contract

There is always someone who wants to skirt the law.  People contact property owners who have listed their property with real estate agents under contract.  They don't care that the real estate agent and the property owner have an agreement.   They know it exists that is how they found the property by scraping the internet listings.   They also know that interfering with a contract is a violation of law with heavy penalties.  The risk of getting caught must be low enough because they continue to make these approaches.  Usually through text messages and the internet, rarely in person.  Learn about this tactic and what to do if you are a victim.  Visit our website and check out our blog articles and homes for sale: Https://GulfCoastalRealtors.com [Https://GulfCoastalRealtors.com]
