This comes as routine for many home owners and landlords, but I find when I ask various other landlords I know they often aren't taking all their deductions.  Usually in the form of depreciable improvements, or in wild cases, depreciation on the house itself!There's a book out there I got off Amazon a while back called 'Every Landlord's Tax Deduction Guide'.  It has a lot of great ideas and is well worth it if your a landlord needing any assistance figuring out what is deductable, what is depreciable, and what might be illegal to decuct on your taxes.  Granted my version is from 2007 and I bet there is a newer one; however, most of the items are still very current.  Here's some examples to my fellow landlords to pay attention to.Common Depreciations - Depreciable items are items which U...

Birch Aquarium at Scripps in San Diego San Diego Real Estate BlogI've been going to the Birch Aquarium at Scripps in San Diego for years. Recently I decided to take my 1 year old granddaughter there to see the fish. She first saw the huge whale fountain when you walk up from the parking lot towards the aquarium and her face lit up with excitement. What a day we had. She loved it. The Birch Aquarium is located at 2300 Expedition Way, La Jolla, CA 92037 and is very easy to find off of Route 5. The Aquarium is part of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.At the lobby of the aquarium is a large cylinder tank of fish, I believe they were anchovies and they swim in a circle and are really cool to watch. There are many tanks of fish and other sea life and the main aquarium is huge. There is...

  La Jolla has once again been proclaimed the "most expensive real estate market in the country"!  The criteria, used by the brokerage performing the analysis, was limited to a 4 bedrooms/ 3.5 bath home with approximately 2,200 square feet.  La Jolla's average price was $2,125,000 up 16.6% from last year. Great news for those of us living and selling real estate in La Jolla, however the overall average sales price for a detached home in La Jolla is $1,930,190 - average size of 3 bdrms/3 ba and 2,810 square feet.  In 2008, the average sales price was $2,373,889 for the same size home.

With the end of the summer buying season for La Jolla homes for sale, it is prudent to keep a close watch on the inventory level as it directly affects the the La Jolla home prices and especially the time on market. The following chart breaks down the inventory into price range categories. The information is current as of October 19, 2009. P.S. Unless you want to have your home on the market for 7 years, I suggest you avoid the $3.3m price range.
