REFINANCING OF
PROPERTY TO
RELEASE WATER RIGHTS FOR SALE
MORTGAGE RATES AT 30
YEAR LOWS
WaterBank® commonly finds that property
owners who want to sell water rights are unable to do so because of the existence of a
mortgage or real estate contract on their property. It is our experience that the
holders of mortgages and real estate contracts make it difficult to get a release of the
water rights. Or, they may not grant any release at all claiming that they will be
saddled with gift taxes or capital gains taxes. However, the water rights when
released would be paid for and no tax consequence would develop. Obtaining a Partial
Release of the water rights will be time consuming and expensive.
To eliminate the need for all of
this effort, we will assist land owners who want to sell their water rights to refinance
their entire property at today's low interest rates through a mortgage broker we deal with
an have known for more than 20 years.
Interest rates as of October 15,
2001 are in the 6 to 7 percent range for people with good credit. Even those with
poor credit can probably get lower rates particularly if the proceeds of the sale of the
water rights are applied to the home. The outstanding balance is significantly reduced and
the payments may be then within their budget. Both vacant land and residential
properties can be refinanced..
If this sounds like an option you
would like to explore, please email us..
A recent client in bankruptcy told us that our solution to their financial problem was
"like Ed McMahon coming to their door."
