如何在RENT CONTROL地区设定双赢房租 -- 几个TIPS
(2007-08-15 13:56:42)
以加州为例，涨房租的规定：涨幅10%之内提前30天通知，10%以上提前60天通知
1。设定ABOVEMARKETRENT，给一个月或者两个月RENTFREE。这样RENEWLEASE时
就不必涨房租。如果RENEWLEASE时房租还是高于市场，可以给LASTMONTHFREE之
类的折扣。
2。把LATEFEE改成ONTIMEDISCOUNT。设定ABOVEMARKETRENT，如果每个月准时
(例如4号之前)交房租，给DISCOUNT。人的心理是喜欢奖励不喜惩罚。这个好处是[阅读全文]

ZILLOW的估价
(2007-08-15 13:56:05)

讨论：换新房，老房的去留
(2007-08-15 13:55:01)

留下出租，一直这样做下去，直到房子付清或者有正现金流，可以为投资或退休提
供经济保证。
然而，老房去留也需要看实际情况而定。
留下老房的好处：
-房价低，容易实现正现金流。
-如果是在加州，房地产税涨幅有2%ANNUALCAP，长期持有地产税很低。
-如果前两年贷下低利[阅读全文]

(2007-08-15 13:51:22)

Trump。他们俩再加上BillClinton是我迄今为止最希望现场聆听的演讲者。这次让我
一下逮着俩，而且最后买的是VIPPass也只要100刀（原价500，最后两天优惠），实在
是物超所值。[阅读全文]
