Sell Your Second Home Easily

Utilizing a Qualified Personal Residence Trust. A QPRT allows you to stay in the house for specified period of time. The QPRT creates a deferred gift for a spouse, child or charity. Because the real estate gift is deferred, its taxable value is lowered.

Did you know?

There are a number of ways to put a second home in your kid’s name. A QPRT is one.

A qualified personal residence trust (QPRT) is a great tool to use when you decide to leave your second home to your kids instead of selling the real estate. The QPRT was created by Congress in 1990 to address concerns about inheritors being forced to sell houses because of the tax burden associated with ownership transfer.

QPRTs are created for the benefit of the spouse or children of the homeowner, or for charity. Once the trust is set up the owner transfers the title of the home to the QPRT. This title transfer includes an agreement stipulating a set amount of time the owner can remain in the house. In fact, this continued residency by the owner is a hallmark of qualified personal residence trusts.
The full benefit of the QPRT is realized when the residency period ends and the home as a “gift” becomes the property of the named beneficiary. Because of the deferred nature of the gift through the original owner’s continued occupancy, the value of the gift is not equal to the value of the home. The gift’s value is usually 25 to 50% of the value of the home.

If you have a second home worth $100,000 and leave it to your kids through a QPRT, after your continued occupancy term ends, your “gift” might be worth 40% of the home’s value, or $40,000. This is great benefit when it comes time to pay taxes on the gift.

A drawback is if the original owner dies before the term of occupancy is up, the home goes back into the estate and any inheritors won’t be able to claim reduced value on the real estate.

Excellent Mortgage Broker – Highly Recommended! I had an amazing experience working with Houtan and his team at Crestico. From start to finish, not only Houtan himself but his entire team made the mortgage process smooth, stress-free, and efficient. Their knowledge and expertise were evident at every step, ensuring I got the best possible loan terms. Communication was outstanding; Houtan was always available to answer my questions, explain complex details in a way that made sense, and guide me through the entire process with confidence. They were proactive, transparent, and truly had my best interests in mind. If you’re looking for a mortgage broker who is professional, reliable, and dedicated to helping you secure the best financing, I highly recommend Houtan and his team. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Houtan is a top notch professional. He helped me with my pre-approval and walked me through every step of the loan process. He was extremely responsive, personable, and knowledgeable. He is incredibly reliable and would answer calls or emails within minutes when I had questions. I can't recommend Houtan enough for buying a house. We had been working directly with a large bank on a loan, and all seemed fine until we had an accepted offer, then we started having issue after issue where there was just no sense of urgency. We almost had to walk away from our house, but Houtan and his team were referred to us in mid escrow, helped us explore multiple options in parallel, and close on time. Houtan was very responsive and on top of everything, presented our options very clearly, patient with all our questions, and really understands the Los Angeles housing market.

Finally a real professional with a heart! Working with Houton makes me feel like having a friend who is on my side, rather than a businessman who is always looking out for #1. He is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive. He was always happy to explain and strategize with me whenever I needed help. Unlike most realtors and lenders out there who don't want to use their brains and only do easy and mindless paperwork, Houtan has great analytical and investment insights to share with his clients. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who values the rare combo of both thoughtfulness and top-notch expertise.
