朋友刚回国把上海中山公园的房子卖了。她说这次回国卖房,居然看到她们小区好几个回国急抛的。以前这小区的房子涨疯了,根本没人卖的。
她卖了6百多万,然后打算在美国买几个condo。在我们这里,她可以买4个好区的condo,每套月租金1千五、六,去掉地税和物业费,大概每套能赚1千刀吧,四套就是4千刀,也不错了。在国内时的房租是9千,合1千5百刀,在这边可以赚4千刀,还是在美国划算。她说以后国内的房子再涨价跟她也没关系了。
从这件事看出来国内的房价跟租金是脱钩的。林起立说他们那里房租特别低,和没有差不多。那还真不如卖了在美国买个房。现在小城市的房子也一百多万,卖了在美国买个condo租出去,如果能收入1千刀,那相当于小城市的工资了。
还有一个很大的问题是国内的房子质量不行,朋友说平均寿命可能就五十年,所以房子在10年内卖了比较好。
错了。 这么绝对,不太像律师原话。
9万比150万,年回报率百分子6吧。国内理财也可以拿到6了。
个人觉得钱还是放国内银行更安心。
Any fund transfer over $10K USD will be reported *by the bank* automatically to Dept of Treasury (which IRS is part of) and FBI. After you file that year's 1040, IRS computer may compare your filed income against major transactions like that. If there is a gap found, you get a better chance of being audited.
A friendly advice: it is not pleasant to be audited by IRS. So if indeed it is borrowed money, you better have the complete paper trail and legal documents to prove it.
I suggest you consult a tax accountant or attorney in US who is familiar with overseas fund transfer, instead of armatures here (I am no professional, either. But I have done that so I know:- ).
Don't think that IRS doesn't know your accounts in China. China tax authority and IRS exchange account data very frequently.
汇$进出中国都没有数额限制,从网上就可自己办理。 但是换钱($ to RMB or vice versa )要有5万刀的限
制。也不用申报 (带$钞票回US超过1万过关要申报)。所以卖房子的RMB要找多个户头才可以全部换成美金 (外籍人士一天只能换500$, 一年也是5万刀封顶);
