Short Term Rentals

Do you know of anyone planning to go to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, NASCAR Weekend March 4, 2018?  Are they looking for a place to stay?  Each year, there are homeowners who rent their home for a big premium because hotels are in short supply and demand for private homes is up. Homeowners go on vacation and make tax-free income while temporary tenants rent their home. Homeowners can benefit from a little known provision in the tax code that does not require taxpayers to recognize the income derived from renting their home for less than 15 days per year. This situation can particularly benefit homeowners where there are large sporting events nearby like golf and tennis tournaments, championship games or other high attendance venues.  Now with Las Vegas having the NHL, NFL, WNBA, NRF, LVMS and more, the demand for a private residence can be more attractive than staying in a hotel which makes the price go up. Obviously, there are challenges with personal belongings and damage but getting a premium rental rate and not having to recognize the income could be worth it. You’ll certainly want to discuss this with your tax professional prior to making this decision. You’d probably also want to get some help from an experienced real estate professional.   Call Kim for your Real Estate questions and needs 702-521-3939 www.callkim.net

NOT ALL THEIEVES ARE STUPID - GOOD END OF YEAR REMINDER!

 

NOT ALL THIEVES ARE  STUPID

1. LONG  - TERM PARKING   Some  people left their car in the long-term parking at San Jose while away, and  someone broke into the car. Using the information on the car's  registration in the glove compartment, they drove the car to the  people's home in Pebble Beach and robbed it.  So I guess if we are going to leave the car in long-term parking, we  should NOT leave the registration/insurance cards in it, nor your remote  garage door opener. This gives us something to think about with all our  new electronic technology.

2. GPS:  Someone had their car broken into  while they were at a football game. Their car was parked on the  green which was adjacent to the football  stadium and specially allotted to football fans. Things stolen from the  ; car included a garage door remote control, some money and a GPS which had  been prominently mounted on the dashboard. When the victims got  home, they found that their house had been ransacked and just  about everything worth anything had been  stolen. The thieves had used the GPS to guide them to the house.  They then used the garage remote control  to open the garage door and gain entry to the house. The thieves  knew the owners were at the football  game, they knew what time the game was scheduled to finish and so  they knew how much time they had to clean  out the house. It would appear that they had brought a truck to  empty the house of its contents. Something  to consider if you have a GPS - don't put your home address in it.  Put a nearby address (like a store or  gas station) so you can still find your way home if you need to, but no  one else would know where you live if  your GPS were stolen.   3. CELL  PHONES:   I  never thought of this! This lady has now changed her habit of how she  lists her names on her cell phone  after her handbag was  stolen. Her handbag, which contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet,  etc., was stolen. Twenty minutes later when  she called h er hubby, from a pay phone telling him what had happened,  hubby says, "I received your text asking about our Pin number and I've  replied a little while ago." When they  rushed down to the  bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn. The thief had actually used the stolen cell phone to text  "hubby" in the contact list and got hold of the pin number. Within 20  minutes he had withdrawn all the money from  their bank account.

Moral lesson: a. Do not disclose the relationship  between you and the people in your contact list. Avoid using names  like Home, Honey, Hub by, Sweetheart, Dad,  Mom, etc. b. And very importantly, when  sensitive info is being asked through texts, CONFIRM by calling  back. c. Also, when you're being texted by friends or family to meet  them somewhere, be sure to call back to  confirm that the message came from them. If  you don't reach them, be very careful about going places to meet  "family and friends" who text  you.  4.   PURSE IN THE  GROCERY CART SCAM: A lady went grocery-shopping at a  local mall and left her purse sitting in the children's seat of the cart  while she reached something off a shelf/ Wait  till you read the WHOLE story! Her wallet was stolen, and she reported  it to the store personnel. After  returning home, she received a phone call from the Mall Security to  say tha t they had her wallet and that although  there was no money in it, it did still hold her personal papers. She  immediately went to pick up her wallet, only to  be told by Mall Security that they had not called her. By the time she  returned home again, her house had been  broken into and burglarized. The thieves knew that by calling and saying  they were Mall Security, they could lure  her out of her house long enough for them to burglarize it.
