DW and I have a somewhat unique situation (to us, anyhow...never did this kinda stuff before) that we would appreciate feedback on. Here's a quick summary of pertinent background info:
1. DW and I own our primary home and a SFH rental (rented out since 2017).
2. We will be renovating the SFH rental this year and move into it next year, making it our primary home. We intend to live there for many years.
3. We are exploring selling our current primary home to one of our children via seller provided financing. Looking very strongly at taking advantage of the program offered by http://nationalfamilymortgage.com to keep everything legal and easy, provide future 1098s and 1099s, registering of deeds and ownership, etc.
4. Our intent is to assist our child by offering a below market mortgage interest rate since we believe mortgage rates will stay elevated for a while, offering repayment via a 30yr seller financed mortgage. If the economic environment changes and the low mortgage rates seen last year magically reappear, we'll abandon the idea since our child will have no problem securing a mortgage on their own.
5. We are very confident our child can repay us and not worried at all about a default.
Questions:
1. If DW and I, the sellers, do not receive the entire price of the house in one transaction, how will our federal and state taxes for the house be handled? Do the taxes get spread out over several years to match the payment stream?
2. Are there alternatives to National Family Mortgage out there? We like how they consolidate the process so each party gets the appropriate tax and income related documentation and view that as a must have...not interested in having an attorney draw up documents for a sale with seller financing.
3. If and when we sell our future home, I believe we have to pay back all the depreciation we've been able to accumulate. Does that depreciation increase with inflation or does it stay constant?
4. Are there any other approaches or considerations not mentioned? We're new to the "intra-family mortgage loan" rodeo and dont want to make a colossal error.
Thanks!
