Understanding the real estate tax laws in Florida can be tricky-there are several different factors that can affect the rate at which you’re taxed. The size of your property tax bill depends on two main factors-the assessed value of your property, and the tax rate (expressed as tax dollars paid per thousand dollars of assessed property value) for each local government body in your area which taxes property. For example, the property you purchase may be subject to taxes by the County, the School Board, the City, and various designated district organizations such as the Hospital District and the Water Management District. You will also be affected by whether or not you live in a Community Development District (CDDs)-these have extra tax regulations that will affect how much property tax you pay. There are other considerations, too, such as Homestead Exemptions and the “Save our Homes” amendment, which will limit the amount of property tax you pay.

Royalty trusts, in Finance, are classic flow-through investments vehicles.

Google has expanded again, this time moving into the world of real estate–or at least real estate listing services. Their website, called Google Base, launched in November 2005, and lists properties for sale, which can be uploaded free. Home buyers can narrow their search by typing in particular areas, such as “San Francisco real estate.”

Although the information isn’t nearly as complete as the typical MLS listing, the new Google service allows buyers the opportunity to search with more anonymity than most similar sites. Before Google Base, viewers were generally asked to reveal personal information before they were given a chance to look at properties, and that information was then used as leads for agents.

When it comes to marketing high end homes, you are dealing with an entirely different market then when you are flipping the average home. In order to attract the type of potential buyer that is in the market for a high end home, you need to get creative and start creating unique venues and events to peak their interest.
