Hub You - Passive Income, Depreciation, and Tax Implications
In our efforts to find out why 99% of business plans are typically rejected, numerous venture capitalists, investors, bankers, and investment bankers have let us in on the things they look for. When the following rules are broken, it becomes a simple thing for the professionals to spot, thus helping them save time by quickly weeding out the business plans they will dump.Follow these rules and give your business plans a better chance of being seriously looked at.Rule 1: The business plan is the most important document in a business.The business plan, whether on paper or in your head, guides the company. It provides the basic framework of communicating the goals of the organization. Few documents are as important to the future of theenterprise. Unfortunately, few documents are also as ignored and ill prepared.Rule 2: The value of a business plan is directly proportional to its use.The more a business plan is used throughout the organization, the more chanc

Negotiation is the art of following a process. The more often you practice negotiation, the better you get at it. It is essential to know when you must negotiate. It’s often very difficult to stand your ground and say no or respond that the option available is not acceptable. The first couple of times you find yourself saying no might be very stressful, but the rewards are well worth the effort. Let’s review a couple of scenarios.1) You want a raise and your boss says there is no money. Should you put your tail between your legs and slink off to nurse your wounds while you are angry and upset? NO! The plan is to offer options and alternatives when the discussion begins. Think in terms of a wish list of the things you want. Then determine what you would settle for. Is it money you really want or are there other issues in play that you believe money will resolve?The Reality: You want a raise badly. The fact is that you are probably not going to get it. Assumption: Just because the boss says no doesn't mean that there isn't flexibilit
As many of you know, one of the major benefits of owning real estate is the tax benefit. Specifically, the Government allows you to "pretend" you are losing money on a property when in fact it is really increasing in value. On some of our investments, we were pocketing $1,000’s of dollars per month tax free (well, sort of) and it is all completely legal.
In our preparation for really understanding how the Go Zone can have a major impact on investors, we have to take a step back and understand a little bit about the tax laws related to real estate activities.

What Is Depreciation?
Oh, boy now we get to talk about the exciting stuff... taxes, depreciation, "root canals". As a real estate investor, you DO NOT need to know all the specifics however you DO need to know enough to think through the approximate tax implications of a potential deal. Then, if it looks good to you, you can then double check with your tax advisor.
Depreciation refers to the periodical decline in value of a property due to wear and tear that naturally occurs over time. Since land never wears out, it is not subject to depreciation. Land costs even increase over time. As per the law, a residential property has a depreciation period of 27.5 years and a commercial property has 39 years, both on a straight line basis.

The easiest way to build subscribers is to divert the traffic coming to your site to your lead capture page. If you have been sending all traffic to your main sales you should change that strategy right now, as you are losing a lot of money. Think about it: out of 1000 people visiting your sales page, perhaps only 300 people are actually buying your product. So what about the rest 700 people who left without purchasing anything? You lost 700 potential customers! If you would have directed all the traffic to your lead capture page then that would have been more profitable to you.Now, see, let's say that 1000 people first go to your lead capture page (or squeeze page) and fill in their details in an opt-in form. Now, suppose only 300 buy your product. So what? You can follow up the other 700 'non-paying' customers and make cross-sales or affiliate sales to them in future, now that you have both their names and email addresses on your list.Creating a lead capture page requires a lot of expertise, though. However, with the tips I offer here,

It is finally here! After all these months of working to open your business you finally made it. You have not slept much these last few days, wondering how everything would turn out. You are a bit nervous. You wonder if everything is in place, what if I forgot something that needs to be done, will anyone show up, do I have enough workers. These questions will keep going through your mind.Keeping money in your cash register is a necessity that many owners forget. You should start out with a certain amount of money in your cash register. Many small business owners begin the day with $100. You also need to keep extra money somewhere where you can make change if your cash register runs out of any thing. You should keep at least four tens, eight fives, and twenty ones plus at least a roll of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. You will be surprised how many times people will purchase an inexpensive item and pay with a large bill. Be prepared.There are various ways to promote your grand opening day.

Success with your IT consulting business won't happen overnight. In this article, you'll learn when you can expect to start bringing in some good profits.IT Marketing: It's a Systematic ProcessOk, so you’ve joined the chamber, will be attending your first networking meeting this week, have participated in venture capital groups that are geared towards IT and have been handing out your business cards all over the place at regional trade shows. Unfortunately not much has come of this so far. What is the problem?Time. It will take three to six months to begin to see the payoffs. You won’t see immediate results by joining an organization. If, however, you have been actively participating for 6 months and still nothing is coming of it, it’s probably not going to happen over the extended duration and you may want to bail and try another organization.IT Marketing Requires Personal RelationshipsDon’t expect that you’re going to go to one meeting or two meetings and automatically you’re going to land a $25,000 account. Yeah,
There are multiple methods to compute an asset’s depreciation value. The simplest and most common method used is the straight-line method. The straight line method implies that the depreciation value of a property is equal every year of its useful life. The depreciation value is calculated by dividing the purchase amount of the property by the corresponding depreciation period. So, for example, if you bought property consisting of a house and land with the house costing $200,000, you could "pretend" you lost $200,000/27.5 = $7,272 of value and potentially "write this off" your other income.
Suppose this property actually produced $600 per month positive cash flow and actually APPRECIATED 7% this year. From a simplistic view, we would make $7,200 in income, lose $7,272 in depreciation, and thus have a net loss of $72. Until we sell the property, we can ignore the actual appreciation in value. Suppose the person who owns this property is in the 33% (28% Fed + 5% State) tax bracket. Even though they put $7,200 in their pocket, the income tax liability may actually decrease $24; without the depreciation, they would have owed $2,376 in taxes!

But why would the Government allow this. clearly they are losing money, right? Far from it. This little step is what would be considered a win for the Government and a win for the investor. Let me explain.
