Short Sale Investing Guidelines in Manville, NJ For Both a Buyer and a Homeowner The cost of maintaining a real estate property is indeed treated an expense that must be spread over the asset's useful life even if it depreciates. In real estate, when you spend a sum for maintenance, repairs, and other property necessities to be used to generate sales, you treat the item as an expense.

The van losses its value the very minute you drive it out of the dealership and the measure of the loss in value is known as depreciation expense. This happens on both vehicle and property investment. But in the case of an asset, when what you're indebted cost more than the original value of the house, this onl... 04/16/2011

Sell your home quickly in Manville, NJ!  If your home has been for sale for more than 100 days you're probably tired of looking at the for-sale sign in your front yard.

This is especially true in a declining market, such as we have had.  Pricing a property is a complex exercise.  Many factors are considered in preparing a comparative market ... 04/16/2011
