The Property Tax, Land Use, and Land Use Regulation (Studies in Fiscal Federalism and State-Local Finance)

The Property Tax, Land Use, and Land Use Regulation (Studies in Fiscal Federalism and State-Local Finance) Dick Netzer, a leading public finance economist specializing in state and local issues and urban government, brings together in this comprehensive volume essays by top scholars connecting the property tax with land use. They explore the idea that the property tax is used as a partial substitute for land use regulation and other policies designed to affect how land is utilized. Like many economists, the contributors see some type of property taxation as the more efficient means of helping to shape land use. Some of the essays analyze a conventional property tax, while others consider radically different systems of property taxation.

The first paper sets the stage, modeling taxes on land and buildings in the context of a dynamic model of real estate markets. The remaining papers examine how various tax mechanisms and non-tax alternatives to regulating and determining land use, such as zoning and private neighborhood associations, complement or substitute for one another.

Urban planners and economists interested in local public finance will welcome this comprehensive study.

The TurnKey Investor’s “Subject To” Mortgage Handbook: The Art & Science of Buying Investment Property by Taking Over Mortgages!

The TurnKey Investor’s “Subject To” Mortgage Handbook: The Art & Science of Buying Investment Property by Taking Over Mortgages! IMAGINE BUYING INVESTMENT PROPERTY WITHOUT QUALIFYING FOR MORTGAGES! The most common obstacle for any investor wanting to buy investment property is getting financing. Bankers say if you want to buy investment property, the only way you can finance it is to have a large down payment and qualify for a mortgage. But that is only one way of buying property THE HARD WAY! Another way of buying investment property is to have sellers call you and provide you with financing that you do not have to qualify for! This exciting way of acquiring investment property uses an uncommonly used seller-financing technique known as the subject to mortgage. Instead of qualifying for new mortgages, you will learn how to buy investment property by safely and legally taking over existing mortgages! This one-of-a-kind handbook will teach you the art and science of buying investment property from qualified sellers using subject to mortgage financing. WHAT YOUR MORTGAGE BROKER WILL NEVER TELL YOU! You will learn how to: * Safely use subject to mortgages to buy investment property! * Legally take over and manage other people s mortgages! * Find qualified sellers to call you to buy their property! * Respond to sellers questions to develop rapport and earn their trust! * Analyze and determine which deals are best for a subject to deal! * Set up subject to closings so that they are fully accepted in your area! The TurnKey Investor s Subject To Mortgage Handbook is a real estate finance book like no other. It goes against what the traditional lending and financial communities teach and is sure to upset the establishment. This book is only for independent-minded investors who want to learn how to take control of their real estate financing and investment portfolio, not for blind followers of banker s rules .
Customer Review: An Excellent Handbook for Professionals!
Matthew Chan’s latest book for TurnKey Investors is for experienced investors who “wish to expand their financial repertoire by utilizing the `subject to’ mortgage.” (p.5) This review is based upon that guiding principle inasmuch as I, myself, am not one of those experienced investors, though my background was in directing lease management for a major educational institution. I therefore have a basic understanding of the logic behind and in real estate activities.

I believe this is an important point to emphasize. Why? Because as I began to read, I found myself uncomfortable with the concept being presented. Specifically, “subject to” mortgage investing is a method of acquiring property by taking title and possession of real estate, but leaving the seller’s existing loan in place–a form of seller financing. It is to the author’s credit that he immediately identifies this as a problem for inexperienced readers.

Therefore, Chan confronts the issue! After explaining the primary fundamentals or activities of acquiring property through this process, in Chapter 3 he provides an excellent source of references for readers to confirm the “legitimacy” of the process, including examples of forms used by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Having read several of Chan’s reference books and after sufficiently negating my earlier qualms, I settled back to be “trained.” Certainly Chan has the intelligence, experience and knowledge to write books in his professional field. However, I have found that Chan has also developed an excellent teaching skill by which he uses his writing for effective training purposes. Investors or property managers should feel comfortable asking their own staff to learn and begin using the “subject” to mortgage transaction based upon using Chan’s handbook. Let’s see what he has to tell us!

First, knowing that this is a little-known and little-used process, Chan advertises its availability–”we buy houses fast.” This catches the eye of those needing to sell their hours fast! What that means is that a target audience is usually available. Why? Because there are always those individuals who have just changed jobs and therefore need to relocate quickly. Or there are those individuals who sadly face divorce or the loss of a loved one and find that they can no longer pay the high mortgage costs. For whatever reason, needing to sell property quickly is oftentimes a traumatic experience. And, for many, waiting for financial institutions or real estate agencies just isn’t the answer. Having personally been in this situation, I must admit I looked favorably at this option once I realized how it worked. Because I had lost my job and knew I could not keep up my mortgage payments as a single professional woman, I immediately posted my home for sale. It was a nightmare as I first had to “fix” one thing after another and then wait for someone who might “happen” to come along and want to buy my home. It was just serendipity that I was able to acquire a small cabin in a nearby state and maneuver each activity to be able to both sell and buy another home as well as relocate within the time allotted; i.e., by when I would receive my last pay check!

Matthew Chan could have offered me a much simpler option! And his book includes pictures of the wide variety of houses that they have acquired through the “subject to” mortgage process. In essence, Chan’s company would have taken over my former home as property managers, using the loan I already had in place. Now, individuals considering this option would need to understand quickly that they would continue to have an outstanding mortgage loan in their name. But somebody else would be paying that bill. And somebody else would have total control of the property.

In essence, then, the seller in the position of having to quickly relocate has a little-known option if there are individual investors willing to handle their property. The Turnkey Investor’s program has the ability to do this…and then use your former property to enter into a lease-option activity with another individual.

I’ve personalized this review to ensure that individuals who may hear of this process will understand its potential in their own lives. However, the book, for the professional, includes all the many details necessary to ensure that they are able to handle a “subject to” mortgage investment if or when the opportunity arises. It takes a professional agency willing to help individual property owners. At the same time, the agency must have already invested sufficient research and experience in their field to make the process work within their agency. For those professionals wishing to consider “subject to” mortgage investing, this book is a must-read!
Customer Review: Fluff, Fluff and More Fluff
I bought this book because it seemed like it was “THE” subject-to investment guide. I’ve read a lot of real estate investment books and most breifly touch on the subject without going into details. Well I am at the point in my investment career that I need a little more substance when it comes to the investment process. This book was fluff. Like most other RE books it explained basic principles of real estate, finding urgent sellers, doing due diligence on the property but never went into the hard core details about the subject and didn’t give a step by step guide to completing the deal. There were 3 sample forms and they had nothing to do with the actual process of closing a subject to deal.
To compound the matter, many parts of this book seem to be copied and pasted multiple times. I would read a paragraph and look back, only to find the same paragraph. SAME WORDING. The type in this book has to be 14 point and by the way, it’s all double spaced. I actually got this book today and have read it already.
I wouldn’t be as mad if this book didn’t cost as much as it did. I feel a little ripped off. This book is definitely marketed as a “hard-core investment guide” but after reading a couple pages you realize it is for people that just want to read about investing and don’t need the details or guidance to actually carry it out.

Family Property Law Cases And Materials on Wills, Trust And Future Interests (University Casebook Series)

Family Property Law Cases And Materials on Wills, Trust And Future Interests (University Casebook Series) A forward looking casebook, Family Property Law focuses on new themes in family property law in the areas of wills, trusts, estates, and probates. The book recognizes the reform minded nature of the current era of family property law, including its changing notions of family and society, the acceptance of a partnership theory for assessing the financial aspects of marriage, and the need to reshape the law of donative transfers into a unity. The third edition presents the following new features: integrated coverage of the new Uniform Trust Code and of the American Law Institute approved parts of the new Restatements, important new case and statutory law, including Vermont s civil union statute and a sample certificate of civil union, the two Kuralt decisions of the Montana Supreme Court holding that Charles Kuralt s letter to his mistress constituted a holographic will, and fully integrated treatment of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, which ultimately repealed the estate tax and the generation-skipping transfer tax.

Appraising Residences and Income Properties

Appraising Residences and Income Properties Customer Review: A Necessity for Some Future Appraisers, But……
This work is truly a monument to poor and opaque writing, haphazard organization, shoddy — even wretched — editing, and user-hostile print format. Important concepts are not only buried deep in badly-written, run-on sentences, but the author often makes casual assumptions concerning the reader’s “base” knowledge. Unfortunately, this book is required by a number of states in the training of future real estate appraisers. With over 17 years college teaching experience, I am frankly shocked — and disappointed — that this tome would be so widely used as a required text. If you find yourself forced to use this tome, make SURE you compliment it with other real estate appraisal books AND the latest edition of the Appraisal Institute’s Dictionary of Appraisal Terms. Simply awful….
