Open Question: Why are financing costs ignored for capital budgeting but not for real estate valuation using the DATCF model?

This question relates to the CFA Level 1 curriculum: Why are financing costs (such as interest and principal payments) specific to the project being evaluated ignored from cash flows in the capital budgeting process described in reading 44 while they are explicitly included in cash flows used for valuating real estate using the discounted after-tax cash flow model presented in reading 76?

Open Question: We have AWFUL tenants - can someone help me? ?

We have rented a townhouse for the past 5 years and have never had any complaints, problems etc. Recently we rented it out to a mom and older daughter with a little boy (and a boyfriend that apparently is living there as well). In short, they are absolutely awful. The first day they moved in, the mom who used to work as a real estate manager was screaming and yelling about how this needs to be changed, that needs to be changed etc. And for the past 4 months they have lived here, they have been CONSTANTLY complaining about something. They have constantly been sending us certified postal letters documenting every kinds of ridiculous, picky complaints and honestly, at this point, I think they are doing every of this because they are extremely needy and maybe are thinking of building a story to take us to court and make some money? The first day they moved in, they were complaining the home wasn't clean enough, that every the grout in the bathroom had to be redone (are you kidding me? when they saw the home before they agreed to rent it out they agreed to the current bathroom. Which is perfectly fine by every standards). Now, their most recent complaint is they found out the heating furnace hasn't been serviced in some time and they refuse to turn the heat on because they are afraid that it may start to leak carbon monoxide. We have had people living in the place for years, and there have never been any complaints..but with them, we have spent thousands of dollars within the past few months constantly assuaging their claims. They are very needy, but very aggressive people and I wouldn't put it past them to be trying to create a case against us. Again, we've been landlords before for years and have never had this problem. I would adore to look them go but I don't know how. They have a 3 year lease with us (locked in at the same price!). Is there any way to receive out? They are constantly smoking in the apartment and are going to destroy the place (walls, carpet, etc). Can we implement a no smoking rule in the home even if it isn't in the contract? look we took a *few* pics but smoking wouldn't show since the tobacco will permeate the air, carpets, and walls. Is there any way of making the argument that this is an activity that is destructive to the apt (if that can be established, there is a clause in the contract that calls for eviction if destruction/damage ensues). They also have a pet lizard that we never agreed to. They aren't allowed to have any pets unless we have given them written permission - which we have not. They are also complaining about getting an exterminator- we have NEVER had a bug problem but suddenly with them we do. Can't one make the argument that due to disgusting living habits, bugs have arrive, and therefore it isn't our problem? What if one decides to sell the home while the tenants are living there? Is that a possible way to receive them out? Don't ask me why we signed a 3 year lease:( My parents are really nice, naive, and have always had good luck with tenants so I guess they never imagined people like this could exist. I fear, especially since this lady has worked in real estate before, that they are trying to build a case against us. The home is in pennsylvania (PA) if that helps with the laws.

Open Question: avoiding capital gains tax on sale of gold coins?

Here's the situation: A family member wants to sell a substantial amount of his gold coins and have the dealer transfer the profits directly to me as a loan that I can use towards buying a home. Why he's doing this: A) so I can have an interest free loan towards making my downpayment (and yes, I have since found out that there is no interest-free loan in the eyes of the IRS, but that's another matter) and B) He believes that, if the profits never touch his bank account but go directly to me, then he is essentially transferring his money from one type of investment (gold) to another (real estate) and can avoid the capital gains income tax (which I believe is very high on gold). I am planning on consulting a tax lawyer, but I just thought I'd look if anyone knows anything here, too. Would this plan work? Is there anything illegal about it? Serious answers only, please. thanks in advance.

Open Question: Real Estate Investment - Quote from a Plumber - should I ask him if he is Bonded? should I check he is?

Hi every, I got a few quotes from plumbers/contractors to do some work like new tub, new carpet, new vinyl flooring. I heard it is recommended to work ONLY with bonded people. should I just ask if they are bonded or actually confirm they are bonded and how? (we're talking about $5,000 work needed in a 1-bedroom apartment). Obviously I want to confirm because the they are not always telling the truth however I am not sure what documents to look for and I don't want to make them too mad and respond barbarically or something to such a request if it is not standard/normal to ask them for that/if I'm asking too much(?) same question regarding references - is it reasonable to ask them to provide me 3 names and phone numers they worked for this year that I can contact for reference? THANKS. Thank You both VERY VERY MUCH! Great advice!!!

Open Question: Foreclosure advice (Kentucky): Need to know where to turn for advice?

This is for my pal - not me. But I don't even know where to start to help her find answers. She was in a long-term relationship with another lady. They had been "married" four years ago. She moved into the lady's home. They refinanced and put the home totally in my pal's name. Now, 4 years later, out of the blue, the girlfriend dumps her and kicks her out of the home. The girlfriend is living in the home, NOT paying the home payment, my pal is getting legal foreclosure notices. She cannot pay for the home by herself and has no credit to refinance or anything. It is my belief that they owe more on the home than it's worth. They tried to sell the home a year ago and failed. The home is currently on the market, but it probably won't sell - or it won't sell for the money they owe. The girlfriend is living there with her adult daughter. They are not paying anything that we know of. every the utilities are also in my pal's name. The two cars they both steer are in my pal's name (cars for my pal and her girlfriend - my pal is going to keep her car and the girlfriend wants to keep the one she is driving). They also have loans and credit cards together. Their marriage was (of course) not a legal one (we are in Kentucky) and they had no legal papers that dealt with any nice of breakup. I say my pal needs to talk to a real estate lawyer at the very least. Has anyone ever been in a situation like this or do you have any suggestions on where to turn for advice? What I think: 1. I think my pal needs to draw up a document on the home that says if the home sells for more than they owe, they split the extra 50/50 (this will never happen in today's housing market). If the home sells for less or is taken by the bank, they need to split the amount owed 50/50 and pay it off. 2. The girlfriend needs to figure a way to (A) pay off the car loan for the car she wants to keep or (B) receive the car loan in her name only. 3. My pal needs to make the girlfriend sign a piece of paper about the utilites stating that she will pay them until she leaves the property. This way, if she fails to pay them, I am thinking that my pal could take her to tiny claims court. More info (sorry so long): My pal has filed bankruptcy in the last 10 years, so that is not an option. She also makes very little money and has a child to support by herself (receives no child support or other help). The girlfriend makes more money and has more education than my pal. The girlfriend also has not been friendly during the breakup. She has stiffed me on a business arrangement before and I have no doubt she would lie, cheat and steal to protect herself and receive out of paying money. So, that's the background. What would you do?

Open Question: Would you grow marijuana in order to support your family?

The economy is obviously rough right now. I know numerous people who have who have lost their jobs. Jobs that range from real estate to mom and pop businesses. Regardless of what people may say, jobs are difficult to arrive by. My wife recently posted an opening for a $32000 job and received over 400 applications. We had to cease counting. These were good applications-not bums fishing. My point here is that work is extremely difficult to arrive by right now. I have one pal who has turned to growing marijuana in order to literally feed his/her family. I've had some interesting conversations as to the different viewpoints of this. Viewpoints include. It's illegal therefore it should not be done. It's a good thing he/she has the network in order to this. What else would they? They would be forced into living off the state. What happens if he/she goes to jail? Who is this really hurting? Will the kids follow this example? It's better than welfare. There's always something you can do. Mc'donalds. Wal-mart. Etc People cant' survive off minimum wage. - Wal-mart, and Mc'donalds They should have gone to school so they wouldn't be there in the first place. And last, my favorite. Who much do they make? Keep in mind this is not a career criminal family. This is family whose business went belly-up due to the collapse of the economy. They don't have guns, or steer lowered cars. They have car payments. They have home payments. Their kids go to church (maybe with yours). So where do you stand on this one.

Open Question: Buyer's obligation to pay past due accounts in a foreclosure?

I purchased a foreclosure this year. The seller (the bank) paid every of the past due accounts left by the previous owner; however, the homeowner's association account was overlooked at settlement. Now the association is claiming I owe $1500 in past due balances incurred prior to when I bought the property. My real estate agent told me if they put a lien on the property, my title insurance will take care of it and go after the responsible party. I'm not sure about this advice though because the lien will have been placed on the residence after I purchased it. Am I responsible for the balance? How should I handle this? Documentation of your sources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
