I heard this house just sold actually. Still hasn't closed or recorded though. I think the final price was before $1.4 millon... |

It's odd that RICHARD ABRAMS & GLORIA HUTCHINSON listed this one recently...

This isn't a recently listing... And Abrams owns the house personally. Never lived there -- bought it on spec to flip... |

I see.
I think the 30 Shady Brook Lane one for sale now is also an investment property.

It seems these investment properties come on the market after two years from the purchase date. Is this done to take the tax benefit? |

Exactly. 2 years is the magic number for the IRS... |

the house has to be your primary residence for 2 of the past 5 years in order to qualify for exclusion on most capital gains tax - investment properties dont qualify |

Consider a new house that I bought two years ago.
I make the house my primary residence (paying property tax, utility bills, etc.). (My secret: I live with my friend most of the time.) I do go back to my house from time to time to check it, and I hire people to take care of the lawn. Also, I don't rent the house out.
There is no way for the IRS to deny that the house is not my primary residence. |

yes, nothing is illegal if you dont get caught - so you'd have to setup the big lie... all your records should match; W2's, 1099's, bank accounts etc, - and during the 2 years you would pay ins, property taxes, utilities, maintenance and mortgage on an empty house (if your not renting it) and only be able to deduct interest on your mortgage as well as property tax; its quite a gamble on a million plus loan with 20k in yearly property tax |

The address is 28 Shady Brook Lane, right next to the '30 Shady Brook Lane' for sale and the same price as well. |
