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.

- Right to Know Peitiion. Whereas: Sealed
records, prevent adoptee's from knowing their biological origins; Whereas: The child's
right to know, supersedes private agreements made long ago by his or her parents. Whereas:
The child was not a party to these agreements; Be it resolved that: When a child comes of
age and assumes his or her full rights and responsibilities as citizens of the United
States, all documents pertaining to the child's origins and/or identity should be made
available to the child upon request.
