A document named "Commercial site income proforma summary" had the cap rate. You can use the IRV formula, Income / (Rate x Value), if you only have 2 of the variables to find the missing variable. For example, if you have the Operating Income and the Value, you divide Operating Income by Value to get ...

What openers have you had success with (brand/model)? Reliability is most important to me. What time restrictions do you use? Thank you, Paul ...

I appreciate the broad answer, but the scope of my question and unknown variable is regarding salary. The Self-directed IRA is a source of financing an expansion, (ROBS) Rollover for Business Startups, which requires incorporation. I just don't want to pay taxes on dividends at the corporate level and ...

The reason for incorporation would be if I decide to use a Self-directed IRA. It's the "open market" salary expectation that concerns me. I don't want a lot of money I pull out to be reported as dividends. I'm trying to determine if the double taxation on dividends would be less than the taxes on an ...

Ryan, Trash it. I can see how you think since you're at 39% occupancy (BTW the assessment date is January 1st of each year) would help you, but it won't. They will just place a value on your property based on their comparable properties. When you do get your Value Notice, probably in May, protest ...

A sheriff deputy told me you can spray the bottom of the catalytic converter with high temp white paint and then etch your driver's license number on the converter. The thief will see the white paint in the dark and maybe even the etching and will realize precautions have been taken. This is just a deterrent, ...
