Real Estate
- The best kept secret in America. Congress devalues real estate across America.
- Market Weighted Asset Model of Real Estate Appraisal. The value of the bundle of rights, called Real Estate, is not well understood. The misunderstanding of the dynamics underlying the ascertainment of property value is one of the contributing factors to the nation-wide collapse of Real Estate prices after the 1987 Tax Reform Act and is the subject of much confusion for Local Property Tax Authorities and property owners. To derive a value for the bundle of rights, we might assume that the value of the bundle relates to the Sum of its Parts, but there are problems with method. An alternative way of valuing property would be to select the Highest and Best Use of the property, but this is also problematic. Because of these problems, I developed what I call the Market Weighted Asset Model, which overcomes the inherent problems in conventional appraisal theory.

- I.R.S. Indexing of Asset Values for Inflation (Court Case) - Any income or expenses denominated in other than current year dollars should be adjusted for inflation. I quote the Tax Law (See Sec. 1(f)), "Adjustments in The Tax Tables so that inflation will not result in tax increases.." I propose that any expenses denominated in other than current year dollars will result in tax increases. Generally speaking, the tax on the inflationary component of income has already been paid, indexing is already allowed, big companies do it, and it makes sense to index for inflation.
- I.R.S. Use of Local Property Appraisals Flawed. I.R.S. auditors often perform Real Estate appraisals. They obtain recent land/improvements ratios to total value, from the local Property Tax Authority. These land/improvement ratios are then used to extrapolate a value for the improvement at purchase, thereby revising the depreciation schedule and recking many years of tax returns. There are two flaws to this method. Land to building ratios change over time as market conditions change and in the mass appraisal process the Property Taxing Authority does not value your house, per se, but instead uses a statistical equivalent of your home to estimate its value. So any ratios based upon this method are suspect.
- Local Property Tax appraisal. Local Tax Departments partition the bundle of rights, called Real Estate, into two components, the improvement and that which is left over, called the land residual. The underlying assumption here is that total value of the bundle is equal to sum of its parts. This partitioning arrangement does not work well, because many of the component rights are mutially exclusive.
