Waylon Bruce Moore How 2 sell cash-flowing Renovated SFH Mid-Term Rental (4/2) + separate studio
11 November 2024 | 6 replies
Waylon- To have the largest buyer pool, my opinion is to price and market the home as furnishings or turnkey options are negotiable.Since this home is flexible in its use - let the market participants decide which option works best rather than defining it for them.

Stuart Udis Structuring your entities for anonymity is NOT asset protection
21 November 2024 | 39 replies
Some of the simpler asset protection solutions would include the following:  having max funds allowed in qualified retirement plan or IRA rather than personal as retirement plans are exempt assets in Federal and most state bankruptcies; investing through an annuity if your state (Florida and Texas for example) exempts insurance policies and defines annuities as an insurance policy; taking advantage of maximum homestead exemption in your state; use of corporations or more popular LLC or Series LLC to limit liability to the entity holding the asset; reasonable liability insurance if available; separating asset ownership from asset management; etc.I can design a simple, cost effective asset protection strategy of up to about $5million with little cost IF the individual resides in Texas or Florida.

Account Closed Should PM provide itemized receipts
14 November 2024 | 20 replies
Ask them to explain how you're supposed to have a warranty w/o them giving you the receipt.3) Labor Charges: should be defined in your PM contract OR they should present a bid for your approval with labor & materials.Now a couple of thoughts in the PMC's defense:1) If you didn't get a receipt, how did you match the exact same model at Lowe's, so the price of $530 is apples-to-apples?

& different parts of the asset can be depreciated on different schedules.To find out the useful lifespan of each component, you do a cost segregation study to analyze all of the parts.The raw land can't be depreciated so you start by giving that a value first.But other items can be depreciated on a quicker timeline.A roof, road, sidewalk, fencing, walls, gates, doors, latches, flooring, air conditioners, pavers, curbing, landscaping, etc.The IRS has a depreciation schedule for each type.Some parts are 5 yrs.
