A great property manager is the key to success for marketing, maintenance, and managing renters.

What Does the Future Hold?

Taxes
Property taxes and mortgage-interest costs are significant but also deductible. The higher your marginal tax rate is, the bigger the deduction.
How do you file your taxes: ?
The first $250,000 of profit from the sale of your home is excluded from taxation. The exclusion is $500,000 if you file jointly with a spouse. See IRS Topic 701 for more information.

Closing Costs
You’ll have to pay various fees when you buy your investment property, as well as when you sell it.

Maintenance and Fees
Owning a home comes with a variety of expenses that renters do not directly pay.
ROI
Methodology

The calculator keeps a running tally of the most common expenses of owning and property management fees. The calculator assumes that the profit you would have made would be taxed as long-term capital gains and adjusts the bottom line accordingly. The calculator tabulates property management costs costs for all parts of the buying and renting situations. All figures are in current dollars.

Buying

Initial costs are the costs you incur when you go to the closing for the home you are purchasing. This includes the down payment and other fees.

Recurring costs are expenses you will have to pay monthly or yearly in owning your home. These include mortgage payments, condo fees (or other community living fees), maintenance and renovation costs, property taxes and homeowner’s insurance. Property taxes, the interest part of the mortgage payment and, in some cases, a portion of the common charges are tax deductible. The resulting tax savings is accounted for in each item’s totals. The mortgage payment amount increases each year for the term of the loan because the tax credit shrinks each year as the interest portion of the payments becomes smaller.

Net proceeds is the amount of money you receive from the sale of your home minus the closing costs, which includes the broker’s commission and other fees, the remaining principal balance that you pay to your mortgage bank and any tax you have to pay on profit that exceeds your capital gains exclusion. If your total is positive, it means you have done very well: You made enough of a profit that it covered not only the cost of your home, but also all of your recurring expenses.

Rental Opportunity

Gross Rental Income is the amount of money you will receive from the estimated occupancy rate multiplied by the daily rental rate compounded yearly with the rent growth rate.

Property Management Fees are the expenses you will have to pay to market your home, maintain it, and manage renters.

Grand Total

Grand Total is the sum of the net income from selling the property plus then net income from renting it out over the life of the investment.

VRBO ical import from ASP.Net icalHandler

Posted by keith Filed Under Property Management
My clients wanted to import their availability calendars to VRBO so they did not have to manually sync them. I looked into several code solutions to allow my Property Management customers to export their calendars from my ASP.net property management platform to .ical format. Here is my version for icalHandler.ashx. There is no web.config changes needed.

<%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="icalHandler" %>
using System;
using System.Web;

public class icalHandler : IHttpHandler {
  
  public bool IsReusable
  {
    get
    {
      return true;
    }
  }

  string DateFormat
  {
    get
    {
      return "yyyyMMddTHHmmssZ"; // 20060215T092000Z
    }
  }

  public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
  {
    string listingId = context.Request.QueryString["ListingId"];
    Listing listing = Listing.GetListing(new Guid(listingId));

    context.Response.ContentType = "text/calendar";
    context.Response.AddHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=Listing" + listing.ListingRowId + ".ics");
    context.Response.Write("BEGIN:VCALENDAR");
    context.Response.Write("\nVERSION:2.0");
    context.Response.Write("\nMETHOD:PUBLISH");
    
    foreach (Availability avail in listing.Availabilities)
    {
      DateTime startDate = avail.StartDate;
      DateTime endDate = avail.EndDate;

      if (startDate > DateTime.Now || endDate > DateTime.Now)
      {
        context.Response.Write("\nBEGIN:VEVENT");
        context.Response.Write("\nORGANIZER:MAILTO:" + "info@nationalrentalpros.com");
        context.Response.Write("\nDTSTART:" + startDate.ToUniversalTime().ToString(DateFormat));
        context.Response.Write("\nDTEND:" + endDate.ToUniversalTime().ToString(DateFormat));
        context.Response.Write("\nLOCATION:" + listing.Title);
        context.Response.Write("\nUID:" + DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime().ToString(DateFormat) + "@enkode.io");
        context.Response.Write("\nDTSTAMP:" + DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime().ToString(DateFormat));
        context.Response.Write("\nSUMMARY:" + "Not Available");
        context.Response.Write("\nDESCRIPTION:" + "Reserved");
        context.Response.Write("\nPRIORITY:5");
        context.Response.Write("\nCLASS:PUBLIC");
        context.Response.Write("\nEND:VEVENT");
      }
    }
    context.Response.Write("\nEND:VCALENDAR");
    context.Response.End();

Best Word Press Hosting

Posted by keith Filed Under WordPress
After reviewing several WordPress Hosting solution reviews I am recommending Siteground to my clients. They offer the most features for the best price.

Web Hosting


  • InMotion charges for Softalicious and live chat / support constantly fails. This is probably my second choice.
  • BlueHost I had a client use it was overpriced and I didn't use much.
  • HostGator I used for a year, it wasn't terrible but not as fast and feature rich as SiteGround.
  • LunarPages has the work tech support, their CPanel is WHM which is horrible to use and navigate. They also nickel and dime you for server updates.
  • GoDaddy is by far the worst, The kept getting hacked and my client's site were constantly compromised. Site were slow and constantly crashing.

.IO TLD Domain Registration - Best Prices

Posted by keith
Need to get a .io domain registered. Nic.io is overpriced try NameCheap.com for best prices and a user friendly registration experience. The popular domain for internet startups and personal sites is now seen as a generic country code top-level domain or short "gccTLD" by Google. This means you can target your site at a specific geographical audience such as the USA or UK in Google Webmaster Tools (full list of generic country code extensions). We've been advocating for this change since last year and are happy the search engine giant finally listened. Thank-you for that Google! Starting today, the .io registry NameCheap.com also switched to a different registry back-end allowing faster domain modifications and transfers between registrars. It is now using the standardized auth code procedure that you might know from .com, .net or .org domains already. Please note that this means .io domain transfers are no longer free of charge but will be extended for another year upon successful transfer without losing any previously paid term. As big fans of NameCheap.com we'd like to celebrate these awesome news with a special .io domain sale. All new registrations are only $78.00 USD. I could not get my Enkode.com and since .io domain names are popping up in all the latest startup and technology sites I decided to register Enkode.io and it found the best prices at NameCheap.com. Happy domain hunting!
