Home Retirement home

Posted in Uncategorized by admin on the April 28th, 2007

A retirement home is a multi-residence housing facility intended for the elderly. The usual pattern is that each person or couple in the home has an apartment-style room or suite of rooms. Additional facilities are provided within the building. Often this includes facilities for meals, gathering, recreation, and some form of health or hospice care. The level of facilities varies enormously. A place in a retirement home can be paid for on a rental basis, like an apartment, or can be bought in perpetuity on the same basis as a condominium.

A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents.

Real estate appraisal is the act of presenting an opinion of the value of a property. There are two main types of appraisal:

  • Fee Appraisal - Appraisal of an individual property by a contracted appraiser who is usually paid a fee. For example, this will be done prior to a loan being issued by a bank, to verify that there is sufficient collateral should the borrower default.
  • Mass appraisal - Appraisal of many properties using a more statistical approach. Usually done by government agencies responsible for setting values for property tax calculations.

There are various approaches to determining the value, including:

  • Market - also known as “sales comparison” - establishing the value based on a comparison of what similar properties have sold for.
  • Cost - Establishing value based on the cost to build that structure new, less depreciation.
  • Income - For commercial properties as well as multifamily residential property (duplexes and apartment buildings), establishing the value based on the income the property generates. For example, Retail space may be valued based on the rental income.

And luxury homes. These Luxury tax (sports)

Posted in Uncategorized by admin on the April 14th, 2007

A luxury tax in the sports sense is a surcharge put on the aggregate payroll of a team to the extent to which it exceeds a predetermined guideline level set by the league. The ostensible purpose of this “tax” is to prevent teams in major markets with high incomes from signing almost all of the more talented players and hence destroying the competitive balance necessary for a sport to maintain fan interest. The money derived from the “tax” is then divided among the teams that play in the smaller markets, presumably to allow them to have more revenue to devote toward the contracts of high-quality players.

Currently in North America, Major League Baseball has implemented the luxury tax system; as of this writing it has seemed to have little impact on the free-spending ways of New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, who was largely regarded as its primary target. The National Basketball Association also has a luxury tax provision; its utility is somewhat limited by the fact that the league also has a salary cap provision. The “hard” salary cap of the National Football League has, at least to this point, prevented any need for a luxury tax arrangement there.

It was widely assumed that the negotiations between the National Hockey League owners and players would have had to result in the implementation of a luxury tax, a salary cap, or some combination of both either under those or other names; most NHL teams were not financially long-term viable enterprises under the current arrangements. In the end, a hard salary cap was agreed upon.

Property Good title

Posted in Uncategorized by admin on the April 4th, 2007

Good title is a concept in property law.

For a valid transaction to take place, the previous owner must have an indefeasible title to the property and must transfer it to the new owner. Proof of this may be difficult, since it involves proving a negative: first there must not be anyone with better title than the previous owner, and second the previous owner must not have already transferred title to anyone else. Possible solutions include land registration where the state certifies the quality of titles and claims to property, or (friendly) litigation after the transaction where a court rules on the quality of the transferred title.
