Daily Real Estate Stories

In Rhode Island most buy and sell agreements (purchase and sales agreements) for single-family homes are on a form prepared by the Rhode Island Association of Realtors. The Purchase and Sales Agreement is a very important legal document that typically sets forth the sales price, time, date and place of the residential real estate closing, contingencies based on financing, as well as many other provisions.

You may attempt to negotiate modifications to this agreement and are not obligated to sign the standard form. Prior to signing the Purchase and Sales Agreement, the buyer should contact a Rhode Island lawyer / attorney who specializes in real estate law, residential real estate closings and title law.

This agreement was drafted with the intent to be fair to both buyers and sellers of residential real estate; however, the buyer should not sign this agreement without paying careful attention to all of the provisions including the following provisions:

1. The agreement provides for a certain number of days within which buyer must apply for his/her mortgage. Pursuant to the terms of the standard Rhode Island Purchase and Sales Agreement, if the buyer fails to apply for the mortgage, his deposit will be forfeited. Please make certain that you allow enough days for this application to be made.

2. The agreement provides that if the buyer applies for a mortgage greater than the amount set forth in the Purchase and Sales Agreement, buyer will have no right to obtain a return of his deposit if his mortgage application is denied. Buyer should be certain that the amount filled in for his proposed mortgage is in fact the highest amount that he intends to apply for.

3. The agreement provides that the buyer must accept the property with any easements or restrictions of record that impact the property. The buyer should read the Rhode Island Real Estate Sales Disclosure Form prior to signing the Purchase and Sales Agreement. Rhode Island Law requires that the seller of residential real estate in RI notify the buyer of any restrictions or easements. Buyer should check the disclosure form and if the seller indicates that there are restrictions or easements, buyer should read them prior to signing the Purchase and Sales Agreement. If the buyer does not understand the legal implications of the restriction or easement, then they should contact their real estate attorney.

4. Buyer’s right to a return of their deposit in the event they are not satisfied with house inspections, such as physical/mechanical, pest infestation and septic system, depends on the inspector finding a substantial / materially deficient condition which has not been disclosed to the buyer prior to the execution of the Purchase and Sales Agreement. This means that the buyer should carefully read the Real Estate Disclosure supplied by the seller prior to signing the Purchase and Sales Agreement to make certain that seller has not disclosed existing deficient conditions on the property in this form. If deficient conditions have been disclosed, the Purchase and Sales Agreement should be amended to indicate that buyer may terminate the agreement based upon these deficient conditions

Condos have become one of the singular most popular styles of home in past years. With this popularity has come a variety of different condo types and styles. If you are looking to buy a new condo its a good idea to educate yourself on precisely what it is that you are getting for your money. The types of condo that are now in production range from high-rise or low-rise, town homes, duplexes, single detached, stacked town homes, freehold plots and a number of developments that also feature areas for commercial interests. Condos differ from typical apartments in that as a condo owner you also own a percentage of the building itself. This also makes you partially responsible for the general upkeep of the building. This is usually covered under the monthly condo fees paid by all owners.

Another thing you should make sure of when buying is what is considered to be your “exclusive use common property elements.” This usually refers to things such as balconies, storage lockers and parking spots and other common areas. Careful as there may be some restrictions concerning these areas so it is best to find out what they are (if any) at the outset. Its also a good idea to get in touch with the home owner’s association or condo association as these groups exist in most condos. These group are a great source of info on what life is like in a particular condo complex. Get familiar with the development’s rules and regulations prior to buying as these things can be surprising to someone coming from a home ownership situation. Remember, that the rules are there to ensure the safety of the unit owners and to preserve the condition and well-being of the building itself.

Atlanta real estate agents are having it easy - and why? Because Atlanta is growing. Not just growing, but blossoming as though thousands of people have just been let in on a secret, and real estate in the city is being snapped up almost as quickly as the estate agents can locate new property for sale. Between the years 2000 and 2006, the city of Atlanta grew in population by more than twenty percent - far more than any other metropolitan area, which officially classes it as the most rapidly developing city in the country.

Atlanta real estate agents are therefore to be envied, and Atlanta real estate is a commodity to be prized. The many people competing to get a slice of Atlantan life are not certainly disappointed by the range and quality of properties on offer. Whether you’re looking for a smart townhouse with a pretty garden rolling down to a tree lined avenue in a quiet suburb, or whether your style leans more towards a trendy loft or condo in the heart of the bustling city, there is a district and a style of property to suit any prospective resident.

The city has roots which go back a long time. Originally it was developed as a suitable location for the railroad track ploughing its way across Georgia, and was originally called Terminus for that reason. After a while, its name was changed again to Marthasville, and then again to Atlanta. The railroad is still of importance, and transport within the city is excellent, with a rapid rail network known as MARTAS operating underground to serve the whole of the city. The world’s busiest airport, according to figures relating to both passenger and aircraft numbers, is situated just 10 miles south of Atlanta, and serves many internal and international destinations, and it is partly this which has resulted in Atlanta being such a popular place for tourists to visit.

Atlanta is exceptionally well serviced by freeways that radiate out from the city and encircle it both internally and externally. The chief mode of transport is the car, and this is considered essential in order to commute to work or access the shops unless you already live well within the city centre. Atlanta has often been called the Los Angeles of the South as a direct result of its high usage of cars as a means of transport.

Atlanta real estate comes in many flavours, but by and large it can considered as being typical of each area of the city, with Midtown being the thriving centre of the commercial district, the hub of retail life. Midtown is quite near the very affluent district known as Buckhead, but whereas Buckhead will cost you quite a significant sum of money, Midtown offers similar access and location benefits but at a lower price. Decatur is currently fairly reasonable in price and has a very trendy and chick style, with a lot of younger people and professionals moving in to the area.

For families moving to Atlanta who have children, or for students moving to the area, education is of much importance, and Atlanta doesn’t let the side down here either. In addition to an Institute of Technology and a State University, Atlanta benefits from a high level of academic institutions - thirty offering higher education opportunities, with one of the colleges being consistently ranked one of the top twenty in the whole of the US. With over a hundred schools, and adult learning centres, parents settling in the area have a good deal of choice, and more importantly, the children and students will have excellent opportunities.

Atlanta real estate agents are also pushing the sports facilities on offer. As one would expect of a city which hosted the Olympic Games only a few years ago, sport and athletics is a major aspect of both the city and those who call it home. If you are choosing to buy Atlanta real estate, you are choosing to immerse yourself within a culture which has more stadiums, arenas, courts, sports fields and leisure facilities than any other city per acre. With major league sports such as baseball, American football, Super Bowl and basketball all being represented by major teams, whether you enjoy playing or watching sport, there’s more going on here than anyone could ask for. Thousands of young people are choosing to buy Atlanta condos or lofts as an affordable but stylish way of getting right into the heart of this city of sport.

As far as the style of Atlanta condos are concerned, there is something to choose for every taste and style. Many of the condos available are situated in old, authentic buildings from the 1940s, or even earlier, and have retained the old feel and style. However, for those who prefer the look of a modern 21st century apartment, then the steel and glass structures which rise up out of the city and offer resplendent views across the parks and awe-inspiring skyline offer exactly the kind of lifestyle that a modern, vibrant city has to offer.

It really does seem that the Atlanta real estate agents whose job it is to sell these amazing properties within a city that continues to benefit from massive investment, development and progress, have the easiest job in the world.

The taxes you have to pay each year have nothing to do with how much you earn. How much you income taxes you pay is directly impacted by how much you know about legal and acceptable income tax deductions. Doing your income taxes yourself or handing all your income statements and receipts to the tax preparer at the mall each spring is a sure-fire way to pay way more income taxes than you should.

The tax system is complicated but with the help of a tax specialist or a qualified accountant you should be able to recover a large amount of the income taxes that are taken from your pay check each week. There are many legal way to reduce or completely eliminate the amount of taxes you have to pay each year, and this article will focus on one of them. How to save money on your income taxes by starting your own home based business.

The current tax system is progressive in the sense that the more money you earn the higher the percentage of taxes you have to pay. A person earning $30 000 a year might pay close to 30% in income taxes while someone making $100 000 would be in the 40% tax bracket.

You are not taxed on your total income but on what’s called your “Net income”. This is calculated by removing personal and basic deductions from your total income. Most companies will take income taxes from your pay check each week based on your estimated net income for the current year so that you don’t have to pay income tax at the end of the year, but you will not receive a refund either.

So if you earned $40 000 for the year and your basic deductions came to $8 000 your net taxable income would be $ 32 000. This amount taxed at 30% would mean that you would have had to fork $9 600 over to your governments tax department throughout the year.

Now that you understand that you are taxed on net income after deductions doesn’t it make sense to find ways to legally increase the number and total amounts of these deductions? If you earned $40 000 a year and had $40 000 in income tax deductions, your taxable income would be zero and you would recover 100% of the income taxes you paid for that year. That is how the wealthy manage not to pay income taxes each year; by having enough deductions to offset their total income.

One of the best ways to create substantial tax deductions is by owning and running a small business from your home. By having a home based business you can start claiming deductions on things and activities that are considered of a personal nature by others.

Here’s my example

I have a full time job but I also run a small business from my home as an Independent Travel Consultant. As a travel consultant I write reviews of hotels and resorts and recommend an alternative to time share condos to people looking for a great deal on hotel stays.

Now since I own a small business I am able to claim the use of my car as an income tax deduction. I can claim most of my automobile expenses because I use my car mostly for business. Every day I make a list of where I am going to drop off or post advertising for my business. That list could include the dentist, where I have an appointment after I post a flyer. It could include the super market, after I post a flyer on their bulletin board I might get some groceries done. It could be golf course club house, where I … You get the point. Every place I go during the day I go to advertise my business. If there is something around that place I need to or want to do, that’s just a coincidence and it makes 90% of my automobile expenses tax deductible.

Since I have an office in my house I can also claim a portion of my mortgage, taxes, heat, lighting, maintenance, etc. My office is in the basement and that constitute a large percentage of my house. The percentage of house expenses I can claim as deductions is close to 30%. This means 30% from the mortgage, taxes, water bill, heat and house maintenance. This can add up to a few thousand dollars in income tax deductions each year.

The use of a telephone, the internet, professional membership, website hosting and any other fees are required for me to conduct business they too can be claimed as business deductions.

I am a travel consultant, so most of the expenses incurred during my vacations are tax deductions. That’s airfare, hotel stays, car rentals, meals and other expenses. Every day while I’m on vacation I produce a small video about the resort or the locations I visit using my camcorder. These videos are then used as internet commercials for my business and this makes my vacations completely tax deductible. That is 3 or 4 trips a year that are a legal tax deduction for my business.

Computers, DVD players, cameras, camcorders, cell phones are all essential tools of my trade and are therefore tax deductible.

As you can see, these are things I owned and activities I did before having a business. But now that I am a travel consultant I can deduct them and lower the amount of income taxes I have to pay each year. These practices in particular allowed me to save more than $4 000 in income taxes last year.

Do yourself a favor and consult with a tax specialist or qualified accountant to discuss the advantages of starting your own home based business and get your income taxes back.

The whole TIC thing is very foreign to many people but basically what it refers to is a partnering with other people to purchase a piece of real estate. You get a group mortgage with the other owners, and so instead of owning your space you own a percentage of the building. TICs are very similar to condos on the market, as one of the main risks lies in the group financing.

Depending on how you agree upon the term of purchase you are able to have equal share in the entire property, or you may opt to have one larger share than the other. There are a few major differences between TICs and buying a piece of real estate, one being that when you purchase a property on your own you do not have to consult or get agreement from anyone when you go to sell.

The TIC is a form of holding title to real estate, and is one that allows the owners to own an undivided fractional interest in the entire property. These investments provide simplicity by eliminating active property management headaches, and cash flow is generally paid monthly and is also tax sheltered via depreciation pass through and interest deductions. TICs are usually very financially rewarding and offer the investors great opportunity.

TIC - The Subscription Process

Before you get involved with a TIC, it is important that you understand the TIC the subscription process. The TIC subscription process may come off as complex to the beginner, but is quite simple once you become more knowledgeable on it.

Basically how the TIC subscription process works is that TIC identifies a new buy-to-let investment opportunity. You decide how much to invest, and contacts are exchanged and you then put down a deposit. You will be kept up to date by your portfolio manager as your development is progressing, and prior to completion your property will be marketed.

The aim of the marketing in this TIC subscription process is to have you gain a tenant upon completion, and then on completion of the development, you will settle all remaining funds and charges.

Remember that there is no limit to the number of properties that you can purchase, and as well no restriction on the number of units that you can have in a purchase cycle at any given time. This means you get a lot more flexibility and versatility, allows you to have more options.

Been coming to Las Vegas for over 40 years and have stayed at almost every hotel on the strip, in addition to visiting the top attractions.

For first timers the following is a must see list.

1. Downtown, “Old Vegas” on Fremont Street, still has the glamor of old Las Vegas atmosphere, before the huge strip resorts were built. Take in the Laser Show at night for a sight to see.
2. Stroll along the Vegas strip and see the Luxor famous Pyramid or New York, New York, and Excalibur just to name a few..
3. Make sure you purchase a traditional shrimp cocktail at the Golden Nugget on the corner, they have been famous for their “shrimp cocktail” since they opened, almost hundred years ago. They have many pictures of “San Francisco Scenes ” throughout their hotel. For 40 years they kept the price of their shrimp cocktail to 99 cents, but just recently had to raise it to 1.99. However, if you get a players card, from them, and they are free, they will still only charge you 99 cents, quite a bargain.
4. No visit to Las Vegas, would ever be complete without seeing the “Strip”, there are many new hotels there, built in the last five years, and many, many more being built.
5. The best view of the famous “dancing fountains” can been seen at night, from the sidewalk Cafe at the Paris hotel , across the street, or at the top of the famous Effiel Ttower, a replica of one in Paris..
6. Also, at the Bellagio is their famous gardens, changed six times per year, with beautiful, spectacular arrangements, it cost several hundred thousand to change them 6 times per year, with a new theme each time. Will cost you nothing to tour the fountains and the gardens.
7. A great view of the City can be see from the top of the Voodoo Lounge at the Rio Hotel at night, and they have a band that plays at the Voodoo Lounge almost nightly. It is at the Rio also where the famous
male strippers are called the “Chippendales” a must see for the ladies night out..
8. Naturally, Circus Circus for the younger crowd, they have Circus acts and an amusement park, with lots of rides for the little ones and teenagers. No charge for seeing the World Class Circus Acts.
9. The new Wynn Resort across from Trump Tower, is a must see, complete with an 18 hole golf course, that they charge $500 a round for, along with a Ferrari showroom, just in case you want to purchase one during your stay there. They also have some free laser shows nightly at their man made lake along with waterfalls throughout the famous shops and dining places, it is a 5 star resort..
10. And they have remodeled Caesars, another must see and definitely walk all the shops and see many free shows where the statues come alive, entertaining for adults and kids. Also see “The Forum Shops, some of the World famous designers are located there.
11. Another famous place is the Venetian and more recently The Palazzo Resort, they are both connected. Complete with Gondola’s and walk along shopping experience that models the real Venice city. Free daily entertainment at the Shops along the Venetian Canals.
12. For those folks interested in old Vegas, you can visit either the famous Busgy Segal “Flamingo” hotel right on the strip also.
13. If you want half price show tickets, they can be purchased at the Coca Cola exhibit, just next to the MandM’s store. Up the street you can visit the free Lion’s Habitat at the MGM grand.
14. My advice if you have children would be to take the $3.00 M and M tour, well worth it, and they make you an official M and M while your there.
15. Just down the road about 1 mile on East Flamingo you can visit the Atomic Site Museum, where you can learn about the testing of nuclear bombs during the pre Russian detente area. Takes about 2 hours to tour it.
16. Further south you can visit Liberace’s Museum, another must see if you like him, they have many of his original pianos and costumes on display there. Admission is about $10.00 per person, but you can clip out discount coupons in the Las Vegas books available as handouts on every street corner and in every hotel.
17. For some of you, you might want to take a ride on the new monorail, that travels to several hotels along the strip.
18. At the MGM, the Lion Habitat is a must see, arrive around feeding time 4pm and your see them eat.
19. At the Mirage, they have a beautiful aquarium at the check in , in the hotel to see. They also have a tigers to view in the special garden.
20. Harrah’s Casino, has an outdoor “clown court” that usually has live music and entertainment, going on nightly for your view, as well as “dueling pianos ” inside for your pleasure. And their Steak house is one of the best restaurants to eat at, along with a great view if the strip.
21. Hoover Dam is a must see, along with the town of Boulder, along the way, the town that built the Dam. About 45 minutes from the strip.
22. Mandalay Bay Hotel resort has the best “beach, complete with surfing and waves” for the beach crowd.
23. Under construction right now across from Planet Hollywood hotel is the new construction of the new City Center, a new Cultural Center of Las Vegas. . More then 12 cranes are working on the shopping center, 5 high rise condos, and new casino being built, with completion about 2010.
24. For you baseball fans, you might catch the local farm team for the Dodgers “Area 51″, they should have a new name for the team by next year, to identify with Vegas.
25. And finally a Las Vegas visit would not be complete without taking in a show or two, you can choose from a “Cirque Du Soliel” performances at the Wynn featuring “Le Reve” or perhaps you like the “Beatles Love”" now playing at the Mirage, or at the MGM Grand, another Cirque Du Soleil act. At Caesar’s you can see “Cher” or Elton John with his Red Piano, or one of the great magicans Lance Burton at the Monte Carlo another new act is Terry Factor at the Hilton, soon going to the Mirage, became famous on “America’s Got Talent” TV show last year. For free entertainment, take in the sinking of the Pirate’s Ships at the Treasure Island Resort on the strip.

No matter how long you have, you literally, cannot see it all, it would take you years. And we have not even mentioned the local casinos, such as Station Casinos, Sam’s Town and the like. As you read this article many new ones are going up, first class local casinos and hotels, such as the Red Rock and the Alliante, that opens this November.

There is something for the very young and all ages in between. It is no longer “Sin City” although you can find that kind of entertainment, if you look for it, still here.

For a possible way to have some extra funds for Las Vegas while you visit, take a look at my site, http://www.retire2dayray.com

On the eastern edge of the Edward’s plateau lies one of Austin’s greatest treasures: the Barton Creek Greenbelt. After millions of years, the runoff of rainwater carved a canyon into the plateau, and created one of Austin’s treasures.

The most popular of Austin’s greenbelts, the Barton Creek greenbelt is just shy of 8 miles long, and covers 809 acres. The greenbelt runs from Zilker Park downtown, to the rocky entrance of Camp Craft Road, just off of the Capital of Texas Highway, with several entrance points in between. Austinites looking for outdoor activities head to the greenbelt every day of the year.

The creek running through the middle of the greenbelt has attracted people to its waters for several years. The Tonkawa and Apache tribes were drawn to the abundant fresh water, as were other Native Americans for thousands of years. William “Uncle Billy” Barton settled in the area in 1837, and what was known as Spring Creek came to be known as Barton Creek.

Today, many are still drawn to the waters of Barton Creek and its several popular swimming holes, most looking to escape the harsh Texas sun. Though the busiest of the swimming areas is Barton Springs pool in Zilker park, places such as Twin Falls and Sculpture Falls offer not only cool waters, but beautiful sheer cliffs and a more secluded setting as well. The pool at Gus Fruh park gathers crowds of families with young children and dogs because of its section of ankle-deep water, and a younger crowd that enjoys its long, deep section that makes for good swimming, and a rope swing for the more adventurous types. Closer to Zilker park lies Campbell’s hole, with its pebbly beach, and rumored to be visited by Robert E. Lee, and outlaws Bonnie and Clyde. During seasons of heavy rainfall, the current is strong and water level is high, which allows tubers to ride the creek through the city, a recreation usually only achieved out of town on much larger rivers.

The Barton Creek greenbelt also offers many trails throughout the area that differ in size from tight, rocky ledges to widths one could deem drivable. The trails wind through sycamore groves, along the creek bed, through limestone bluffs hiding many caves, and deep into forests of juniper and oak trees. Walkers, runners, and mountain bikers all share the same paths through an oasis that lies within walking distance of Mopac, while seeming very far removed. The serious runners ascend the Hill of Life, the steepest hill on the trail, known to make runners stronger, and its rocky surface preps them for off road races. The limestone cliffs of the greenbelt beckon rock climbers from around the city, with at least six different areas, such as Seismic Wall, New Wall and Great Wall, set up as climbing zones, with routes bolted into the side of the rock.

The greenbelt is known for having a very sensitive ecosystem, and drinking alcohol within its borders was outlawed in 1997 by the Parks and Recreation department since the park staff picked up 18 cubic yards of garbage a week, with 75 percent of the trash turning up as beer bottles and cans. Concerned citizens have done a good job at keeping city growth at bay by forming groups such as the Save our Springs Alliance to protect the quality of water coming off of development in the fragile Barton Springs watershed. Though the population of Austin is increasing dramatically, the Barton Creek Greenbelt has been relatively unharmed by the city’s rapid development, and welcomes all Austinites, new and old, to come play.

Probably and obviously Alaska has the largest land mass in the entire nation so basically the state already holds a lot of potential in terms of marketability in the real estate world. Alaska Real Estate can be one of the top players on the business if their hidden gems can be all found and transform it to a profitable stable for the real estate business. Clearly as cultural and historical the state is, they still got that edge on being one of the nation’s most promising.

Like most states in the nation playing the real estate game, Alaska can be found in the average market set, but seriously of you expand your mind and try to brainstorm a little you will discover how great a state Alaska is, sure Anchorage shows some potential and is what has been known to be the flag bearer of the state, but looking close to it got my eyes opened a bit.

Alaska Real Estate has gone from average living state to a top notch potential-filled state to invest on, the culture is just off-the-hook, the people are great, local tribes have expressed interest on improving their territory and expanding their market with allowing some reasonable condos and housing being built on their way. Maybe now is the time to pickup the phase on it by getting involve and actually do some serious investing on it while there are some unknown land that can be a potential spot for a good project in the near future.

Buying a condominium can be a very risky decision. Any condominium is vulnerable to depreciation that can be caused by other condominium owners within the building. Today many investors that have bought condominiums couple of years ago are finding themselves to owe more for the mortgage than the condominiums are worth leading them to abandon their investment properties. However, this leaves the surrounding condominiums to feel the side effects. In areas such as Miami and Las Vegas builders are leaving the preconstruction sites or investment properties. Now imagine yourself being in a building that has couple apartments being foreclosed within its building. There is a high supply of condominiums in your apartment building, but little demand for them. This leads to fast depreciation of your condominium.

There are also other problems with surrounding condominiums being foreclosed. Those owners are not paying the association fees prior to foreclosure, and once the unit is foreclosed it is even harder to get those association fees. Not having the association fees paid can lead to two results. First, there are not enough funds to support maintenance and repairs of the building, this leads to deterioration of the building and further decreases the value of the building. Second, the assessment fees can be raised to compensate for those condominiums that have bee foreclosed and are not paying their association fees. However, this leads your condominium to cost you more, and also leads to the depreciation of the property.

As with any financial decision, try to learn as much as possible before jumping on board.
