Tyson Scheutze The Price of Property Management

These are some of the ways the clients could be affected by property managers who are not prepared: Extended VacanciesInadequate marketing strategies and tenant screening processes can result in prolonged vacancy periods, translating into substantial lost rental income.High tenant turnover due to poor resident relations further exacerbates vacancy losses.Inadequate Maintenance and RepairsNeglecting preventive maintenance and delaying necessary repairs can lead to accelerated property deterioration and higher long-term repair costs.This can also negatively impact tenant satisfaction, contributing to higher turnover rates.Legal and Compliance IssuesLack of knowledge or disregard for landlord-tenant laws and regulations can expose investors to costly legal disputes and penalties.Failure to properly handle security deposits, evictions, or fair housing practices can result in significant financial liabilities.Ineffective Financial ManagementInaccurate budgeting, expense tracking, and financial reporting can lead to uninformed decision-making and missed opportunities for cost savings.Failure to optimize tax strategies and leverage available deductions can further reduce net returns.Diminished Property ValueInadequate maintenance, high vacancy rates, and poor tenant screening can negatively impact a property’s perceived value and appreciation potential.This can significantly affect the long-term return on investment when it comes time to sell the asset.While a 10% management fee may seem reasonable for a well-performing property manager, the cumulative impact of mismanagement can quickly escalate the effective cost to investors, potentially outweighing any perceived savings on the management fee itself.

Julio Gonzalez Amending Your Tax Return vs Form 3115
5 June 2024 | 4 replies
Some examples of this would be 1) depreciation calculations such as switching from straight-line depreciation to accelerated depreciation (often used for cost segregation studies when not performed in the year placed in service), 2) income recognition, and 3) inventory valuation such as changing from LIFO to FIFO.Correcting a mistake: If you realized that you used an incorrect accounting method after you filed your tax returns, you can file this form to request permission to change to the correct accounting method so that your tax reporting is accurate.Here’s a chart that you may find helpful when deciding whether you need to amend your return or file a Form 3115.As always, I recommend consulting your CPA or tax advisor as the rules can be complex.What is your experience with filing a Form 3115 or amending your tax return?
