How is Canadian rental income taxed on US properties?

The Lori Bowers Group Paradise Properties — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 21:26:13 +0000

Whenever a Canadian collects a fee for us of property they own in the United States,even if it’s only one day, the Canadian has rental income. Any rental income received by Canadians on US owned property is taxable in both the United States and in Canada. Any tax paid in the US is used as a credit against the Canadian tax.

Rental income must be reported in the US ( where it was earned) and in Canada ( where the Candian has their residency and pay taxes on a world wide basis.)

Also, it is a good idea to check with both Canadian and US accountants and tax attorneys for the exact procedure and amount and timeline to file and pay the taxes

Why some homes in La Quinta will not sell

The Lori Bowers Group Paradise Properties — Tue, 10 May 2011 18:51:50 +0000

I used to say one of the main reasons a home would sell was : location, location, location. Now I say that the main reason homes sell is: price, price, price. With that said, in our current market a bargain priced home may or may not sell.

We all know that everyone now is looking for the biggest bargain ever, but even price alone will not sell a house. To work past buyer resistance, I use several other skills and tools to incite buyers to buy.

1. Home staging is more important now than ever.

2. Once an offer is received, no matter how low or silly, we work hard to keep it going on both sides until agreement is reached.

3. Incentives and nudges like a piece or two of furniture for the buyer, or a few free days of staying in the house for the seller sometimes help seal the deal.

4. Lots of exposure and marketing really do help bring viewings and offers to the homes.

5. Price reductions of even a few thousnd dollars sometimes make a difference.

6. Constant and consistent open houses bring visibility to the home. Many potential buyers will revisit the home and potentially buy it.

7. I stay in contact with active agents and agents who have shown the home to keep any interest brewing.

Even with all of this and more, some homes do not sell. At least I know, they do not sell through any fault of me or the seller.

5 ways we make our clients happy in La Quinta

The Lori Bowers Group Paradise Properties — Tue, 10 May 2011 18:49:00 +0000

Our success depends on how well we build positive relationships with customers. If you can make them happy, you will keep them coming back.

1. Be honest.

2. Let them talk. Ask them questions about themselves. Let them do over 70% of the talking. People like to talk about themselves.

3. Show you care. Send them cards and emails for birthdays and other special events in their life. Stay in touch regularly.

4. Be persistant, but not aggressive. Rather than guess, ask them how often they would like you to contact them, what time of day, and if they prefer email, text, or a phone call.

5. Don’t break your word. Do what you say and say what you do.

For our success, accountibility and consistency do make a difference.
