If I recently bought a house with a mortgage on it, can I sell a portion of the house to a friend? My friend just wants to get some economic exposure to the appreciation of the house I bought, and sounds like I can construct some synthetic/derivative that'd track house price and not subject the friend to the mortgage at all? I don't particularly see any adverse tax implications here aside from realized cap gains/losses from settling the synth/deriv?

A condition of your mortgage is likely that you cannot transfer any portion of title. That is because, should you default under the terms of the mortgage, the bank wants to be able to foreclose. Not having a contract with your friend would create a title issue for the bank. If you don’t want to violate the terms of your mortgage, you should not do this.

I doubt that there’s anything you can do involving the home that won’t breach something in the mortgage.

Has your friend never heard of a REIT?

Yes, they're specifically interested in this property moreso than a portfolio of properties, however.

Just to clarify, is your “friend” a romantic partner that you don’t want to marry but will placate by allowing them to “own property” with you? Because this sounds like committing for commitment phobes 101.

Nope, just a colleague!

Just a question to people having package around 50 lacs. Are you guys paying 15 lacs of tax?. I am asking this because then the actual package will come to 35 lacs only. So it there any loophole like companies change structure or component of pay and that help employee save more tax. Because paying 15 lacs tax is huge... I might cry 😂... I know only 3-5% of people might come in that category still I am seeking reply on the same 😀

Serious billing question - if during the course of the day, you first receive an email from Client A at say 11:10am and you read it, you then respond to it at 12:20pm.

You are working on matters for other clients at all other times during the day. How much are you billing for Client A?
