Property taxes are going through the ceiling. On the other hand, comparing quality of assessments results in loopholes that allow for huge property tax reductions. This results in thousands of dollars of potential savings to homeowners. And, it’s a simple proposition to sell making this one of the best home based business opportunities hardly anyone knows of.

Processing property tax appeals for clients is a recession proof business. No matter what the economic conditions there are always an abundant number of property taxes that are in error.

When you win a property tax appeal you get paid a contingency fee from the client. If you save your client $1,800 you get paid those savings in contingency fees. Generally you spread your fee over 2 or 3 years so the homeowner sees some of the money you saved for them. For everyone, it’s a win, win situation.

Government statistics show the state and local government hiring has accelerated in the last 12 months. Meanwhile private firms have slashing staff. Despite the economic slowdown the public-sector jobs gains have actually sped up. Increased property taxes will likely pay the price.

State and local governments are facing a mismanaged budget crisis. Large numbers of new jobs have been created in government. Result: many angry taxpaying homeowners.

With the fall in real estate prices, it pays to scan the horizon to see if a potential clients home valuation compares to the assessed price the tax assessor placed on it. All one needs to do compare recently sold homes.

The National Taxpayers Union writes that as many as 60% of all homeowners are over-assessed and not in line with their home value. (”How To Fight Property Taxes” 2004 p.1

Real estate is estimated by comparing your client’s property with similar sold properties. You’ll look in neighborhoods that share similar characteristics of client’s house and find sold homes that make your client’s home compare for a lesser value.

Cooperate with the tax assessor since it makes no difference what the tax assessor finds. What counts is market value you determine by comparing recently sold home.

With recent decreases and abundance in lower-priced comparable home, the business of real estate property tax consulting is a very lucrative home base business proposition indeed! The entry costs are low, the profit horizon great.

It should come as no surprise that businesses everywhere are profit-drive operations that must push hard day after day to stay profitable. Regardless of the size, the task of staying in business is a constant challenge. The daily task of creating a product, marketing it to customers, and competing against other companies who are doing the same thing is tough. Those who have been there know that running a business is one of the challenging chores of life.

The message is finally getting across that business have a community responsibility to participate in new Green economy. Businesses everywhere have been blamed for corporate irresponsibility and contributing to the environmental problems our present hour. The constant barrage of environmental concern has had an impact on these companies, and no one doubts that federal, state, and municipal regulations will force everyone to become Green in operation or face fines, penalties, and court action.

The corresponding problem is that most businesses are not prepared to Go Green. Like wrestling an octopus, it is hard to know where to start and impossible know the right path to Green success. Believe it or not, environmentalism covers an immense area of concerns and employs a vast array of options. That is why businesses frankly do not know where to start or how to implement a serious Green clean process.

Every business must have its priorities, and making the business function well and turn a profit is understandably the top priority. Then there are matters of manufacturing, staffing, budgeting, office and equipment, marketing, distribution, and capital. There are concerns about marketing, market trends, and product development for the future. This results in endless meetings, interoffice communications, and maintaining a culture of industrious workers. The point is that while Going Green is something businesses are willing to do, they lack the precise information and personnel to do it well.

Busy businesses have outsourced there accounting, tax preparation, and marketing so that they can stay on target with their basic business duties. This, I believe, will be the smartest business model for the Green consultant. Unfortunately, there is a vacuum of need that is unmet by the market. Green consultants are needed, and they are needed now. Otherwise, we will see the self-appointed and ill-advised consultant step into this gap.

Starting an LLC involves several steps. The first one is to file Articles of Organization with the State Filing Office (SFO). Once this is done, the people starting an LLC should prepare and sign an Operating Agreement. A few states refer to them as a Limited Liability Company Agreements. The LLC laws of most states do not require an Operating Agreement and some states even allow oral ones. However, it is highly recommended that all LLC?s have a written Operating Agreement.

An Operating Agreement is essential in maintaining the liability protection of an LLC and in preventing disagreements between the members. I have witnessed bitter disputes between family members and friends concerning the details of operating a business because nothing was written down when they started out. When that happens, people often have different memories of what they agreed to in the first place.

Adopting (signing) an Operating Agreement helps strengthen the liability protection of the LLC in the sense that it helps demonstrate or prove that your LLC is being operated as a separate legal entity. This is true even though you may only have a one member LLC.

The Operating Agreement is an agreement between each member of the LLC and also between the members and the LLC as a separate legal entity. The Operating Agreement is like the the bylaws of a corporation or the partnership agreement of a general partnership. Each controls the internal management of the entity or business structure. The Operating Agreement itself is not a document that has to be filed with the SFO. However, it should be kept with the other LLC documents and records.

There is no required format for an Operating Agreement. Some are quite lengthy (anywhere from 10 to 40 pages long) and some are much shorter. The standard Operating Agreement will contain a certain amount of boiler plate language together with some important provisions with respect to the rights, duties and obligations of the members of the LLC.

A basic Operating Agreement describe the management structure. i.e., whether the LLC will be managed by the members (owners) or by certain other individuals or entities as managers. Furthermore, the Operating Agreement usually establishes the ownership percentages or sharing ratios between the members of the LLC and will set forth such things as the division of profits and the distribution of income.

Although not required, it is highly advisable for even one person or single member LLC’s to have a written operating agreement. Some may wonder why. The first reason is that if a one person LLC doesn?t have some formalities or some documents, it looks too much like a sole proprietorship which has no liability protection. In addition, it should be remembered that the single member owner is not signing an Operating Agreement with himself. He is signing the Operating Agreement with a separate and distinct legal entity, the LLC.
