AS SUCH, AUSTRALIANS ARE INCREASINGLY TURNING TO PROPERTY INVESTMENT TO SECURE THEIR FUTURE. A well-managed investment property can offer distinct advantages, including income and capital growth. Many investors are able to use their investment property to reduce the tax payable on their assessable income. Property is also an important component of an entire investment portfolio, particularly, for people who do not need immediate access to their money and wish to protect themselves against inflation over the long term. It is important to be aware, however, of the responsibilities of managing an investment property and assuring its proper care. As considerable sums of money are involved, you should take the time to develop a comprehensive understanding before you act. This booklet is the first step in the process and is designed to provide an overview of the considerations required for any owner of an investment property. Remember, consideration of any financial investment presents wide and varied alternatives and there are always plenty of experts ready to share their opinion. It is wise, therefore, to always seek appropriate advice from a qualified financial adviser or accountant. 4 PROPERTY MANAGEMENT GUIDE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT GUIDE 5 WHY INVEST IN PROPERTY?

  • Permit Requirements for Vacation Rentals: All Vacation Rentals Operating in Pacific County Require a Permit from the Department of Community Development (DCD)
    Permit Requirements for Vacation Rentals: All vacation rentals operating in Pacific County require a permit from the Department of Community Development (DCD). The underlying land use designation (zoning) determines the type of permit required. Vaca- tion rentals in properties designated as Resort (R-3), Community Com- mercial (C-C), or Mixed-Use Tokeland (MU-T) are allowed as a permitted use and require a Type I (Administrative Zoning) review by DCD. Vaca- tion rentals in residentially zoned areas such as the Restricted Residen- tial (R-1), General Residential (R-2), Rural Residential (R-R), Rural Lands (R-L), or Mixed Use (MU) districts require a Type II review (Special Use Permit) in order o operate. Special Use Permits employ a public hearing process allowing for public comment and input. *Vacation rentals are prohibited within the Restricted Residential (R-1) district located within the Seaview Urban Growth Area. Pacific County Does Permit Application for the Vacation Rental Guarantee an Approval? Making the application for either the Administrative Zoning Review Per- mit or the Special Use Permit does not guarantee that a permit authoriz- ing the vacation rental will be granted. These types of permits are dis- cretionary and are based on whether (1) the applicant can demonstrate compliance with the minimum standards necessary for approval, and (2) whether issues, concerns or problems raised during the review process are able to be resolved or mitigated. During the permit review process, the Department of Community Devel- opment or the Hearing’s Examiner may impose additional conditions on the project such as additional parking, improved access, landscaping, or additional screening to ensure the proposed vacation rental is compatible with the surrounding residential character.

  • An Exploratory Overview of Property Taxation in the Commonwealth of Nations Riël C.D. Franzsen and William J. Mccluskey
    An Exploratory Overview of Property Taxation in the Commonwealth of Nations Riël C.D. Franzsen and William J. McCluskey © 2005 Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Working Paper The findings and conclusions of this paper are not subject to detailed review and do not necessarily reflect the official views and policies of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. Please do not photocopy without permission of the authors. Contact the authors directly with all questions or requests for permission. Lincoln Institute Product Code: WP05RF1 Abstract This study provides an overview of the property tax systems in the 53 member states of the Commonwealth of Nations, as well as Zimbabwe (a member state until its withdrawal in 2003) and Montserrat, a British dependency. An annual tax on property is levied in 49 of the 55 countries studied. For a variety of reasons property tax is not utilised optimally in any one of the 46 developing countries studied. However, it is generally recognised in most of these countries that property tax could and should become a more important source of own revenue for especially urban municipalities or, in respect of the various small island states in the Caribbean and the Pacific region, where local government does not exist, at central government level. Although comprehensive property tax legislation exists in most of the jurisdictions studied, giving practical effect to the provisions of the law presents problems in many of these countries – with the developed countries the general exceptions. A wide variety of tax bases are used and typically the property tax coverage in many if not most of the developing countries is unsatisfactory.

    BEST PRACTICES MANUAL INTEGRATING PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND SERVICES IN SUPPORTIVE HOUSING Prepared and published by Coalition Homes (affiliated with Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless) and the Corporation for Supportive Housing JUNE 2009 ABOUT COALITION HOMES, INC. Coalition Homes was incorporated in 2005 as the development and property management affiliate of Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless (MCCH). Coalition Homes currently owns and manages 50 apartments and townhouses in all areas of the county, and recently acquired a five-floor office building in downtown Bethesda, Md. to redevelop into 32 units of single room occupancy (SRO). MCCH has a lengthy track record of successful projects to serve the county’s homeless population in coordination with various branches of county government, and increasingly will work through Coalition Homes because of the advantages of owning and having clear asset management authority over its own housing stock.

It operates two HUD Section 811 projects devoted to housing for adults with chronic mental illness, and a project housing psychiatric rehab patients in conjunction with the mental health system. Rental assistance and case management for Coalition Homes’ tenants are provided under long-term contracts from several distinct local, state, federal and private foundation funding sources.

Often these investors find out that managing property is not as easy as they thought and are required to bring in professionals to manage and lease their property. The company they hire must have a real estate broker's license as the management of commercial or residential property is an activity that requires a real estate license. In this White Paper, the license law provisions regarding property management will be addressed.
