Valley Vacancies at Lowest Level in Six Years

By Pete TeKampe, Marcus & Millichap The Phoenix metro area in third quarter 2012 recorded its lowest apartment vacancy rate since third quarter 2006. Third quarter 2012 also saw the planning and zoning pipeline of new apartment development increase fivefold since third quarter 2010 and continued declines in concession offerings compared to one year ago.

Third quarter 2012 marks the first time in six quarters in which asking rents were higher than those observed in the same period of the prior year.

RENTS In third quarter 2012 Phoenix area average asking rents stood at $751, a $4 increase over third quarter 2011’s asking rents. As previously noted in Trends, reductions in vacancies and concessions would ultimately lead to modest asking rental rate increases.

Through November 30, 2012, year-todate eviction filings were up by four percent compared to the same period in 2011. As previously reported in Trends, eviction data have proven to be the most reliable indicator of apartment demand in the marketplace.

Light Rail transit all contributed to the area’s relatively high rents. The Chandler submarket had rents averaging $887 for the period, up $20 from one year ago. This submarket’s average rents are highly likely to exceed $900 by first quarter 2013.

This submarket also had the Phoenix metro area’s lowest vacancy rate in third quarter 2012 at 5.4 percent. One other submarket had an asking rent average above $900 for the period, North Tempe.

Central Black Canyon rents in third quarter 2012 were $6 higher than those recorded in third quarter 2011. Area vacancies declined from 20.4 percent to 14.6 percent over the same timeframe. Moreover, for the first time in over two years, Central Black Canyon

did not have the Phoenix area’s highest vacancy rate in third quarter 2012.

As previously noted in Trends, affordable rental housing within proximity of transportation corridors and employment centers has seen a demand surge. West Central Phoenix is the only other submarket with average asking rents under $600 for the period and this submarket and Central Black Canyon submarket were the only markets in the low rent category to record higher rents in third quarter 2012 than in third quarter 2011. “…Affordable rental housing within proximity of transportation corridors and employment centers has seen a demand surge.”

VACANCY Third quarter 2012 was the first time since third quarter 2006 in which Phoenix area vacancies were below nine percent. Vacancies in the period were 8.8 percent, down from 9.3 percent recorded one year ago. In third Continued on page 3

Governor’s Task Force Hire for the Best Fit, Not Recommends a Change To the Best Resume The Current Prime Contracting Tax System

By Curtis L. Odom, Ed.D.

Recruiters are the ones out there on the front lines of the workforce, trying to bring talent into organizations; there are a lot of qualified people out there from a credential standpoint. Fit is where the true challenge lies. Will this person fit our organization? There are many meanings to that. Does the person look and feel to others like they belong here?

The answers to those questions play a huge role in the talent acquisition success. Unfortunately, recruiting

By Courtney LeVinus and Jake Hinman, Capitol Consulting This past December, the Governor’s Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) Task Force unanimously approved ten recommendations for simplifying Arizona’s complex taxing system. These recommendations were included in a Final Report issued to the Governor, the Senate President and the Speaker of the House.

Included in the Final Report was the recommendation to transition the state away from the current prime contracting tax system and towards a system that taxes materials at the point of sale.

and staffing is seen by the organization as an easy thing, as a lower level skill. On the contrary, it is probably one of the hardest things under the umbrella of talent management to find the right match of talent to the organization and the hiring manager that needs that talent.

Organizations sometimes shy away from being very definitive about the type of person they want, commonly because they don’t want to be viewed as being biased in some way. Personally, I think this is erring too far on the side of political correctness. As a culture and a society, we’ve carried it way too far.

ships and more to develop your companies’ hiring programs. I encourage you to visit the NAA’s website to review and use these resources.

Pete TeKampe’s market report includes insights on how our competitors are performing in each submarket. The more we understand the regional and submarket fundamentals, vacancy rates and upcoming development, the more aggressive we can be about our own pricing. Smart operators will use this data to gutcheck their leasing rates and concessions. I’m always appreciative of the 30,000 foot look at the market each quarter to help me and my team understand the bigger picture.

As always, the first few months of the new year are a busy time in our businesses. I hope that you and your families enjoyed the short holidays and I wish each of you a happy, healthy and prosperous new year! q

to the 2011 AMA Patron Members!

THANK YOU

With the economy starting to recover, we are seeing the employment market change as well. Job seekers who are eager for work seem to be searching for a more permanent opportunity where there’s a clear career path or opportunities for growth. In my opinion, our multihousing industry is well poised to welcome these new employees into our industry.

Could there be a more important challenge and opportunity for our industry that the development of a talent pipeline? We work an industry of people – our leasing teams, our residents and our maintenance teams.

Our success relies on our talented people and the training that we offer them. The better they are, the most successful we will become!

And the cost of this talent is one of the largest budget items for our com-

panies. Turnover impacts our companies in a number of ways. To recruit, screen, hire and train new employees takes time and money. It’s in our best interest to more intentional about our hiring and invest in talented team members so we can retain them for the future.

Looking forward to February, national Apartment Careers Month, I am reminded of how important this work is to our companies. I’m appreciative of the coordinated efforts that the Arizona Multihousing Association has undertaken in the past two years to support us in these recruitment efforts. Our Jump Start program reports a steady pipeline of engaged applicants who commit to learning more about the variety of career opportunities available in our industry.

The NAA, our national association, has developed a number of initiatives that teach companies how to create mentoring programs, college partner-

Arizona Multihousing Association Hire ...continued from front page One of the biggest things that frustrates hiring managers is that recruiters take too long to get the talent the company needs. In reality, the business doesn’t understand what the recruiter is doing.

When the hiring manager says, “I need a business development manager. I want them to have 10-12 years worth of experience. I want them to have worked for a Fortune 100 Company, and have a book of existing clients. I want this person to be in the local area, because I’m not paying for relocation.”

All of these unique factors not only Talent management is about sourcing candidates for knowledge, skills, and abilities to accomplish the organization of today’s goals.

It stresses the importance of hiring based on the right fit for the individual and the organization. shrink the candidate pool and restrict the options of what the recruiter has to work with, but also increases time to hire. I am sticking up for recruiters here and acknowledging that this is what they are faced with daily. Once the hiring manager says, “Do you have everything you need? You’re going to get me this person. Great.

Thanks. Bye,” the clock starts for the business leader right then and there.

In reality, the recruiter takes this information and has to create the job requirement if it doesn’t exist. That

might take two or three days to write it, review it, post it, and start to field resume submissions from applicants.

It might be three weeks or a month before the recruiter even starts to get candidates in for interviews from when the posting went up based on conversations with the hiring leader.

The hiring leader is ticked off. “It’s been two months. Where is this per-

middle of the daytime trying to find someone’s shadow. They’ve been given this exacting description of what skills they need to find but they have not had time to get a head start on trying to find that person. And they get very little respect or thanks when they do find the needles in the haystack.

I think we’re coming to a point

son I need?” Without constant contact from the recruiter back to the hiring leader, the hiring manager doesn’t know the particulars of the situation, or what goes on behind the curtain.

They think, “Next time I’ll hire an outside agency so I can get this done in less time!”

Unfortunately, that’s what happens to internal recruiters. They are out there with a flashlight in the

where things are going to stabilize, because nothing lasts forever—even the downturns, even the bad times.

We’re going to reach a point of stability. And when that does happen, you will find a lot of organizations that are going to start to think differently.

They’re not going to ever want to return to talent firefighting, and they’re will now be thinking, “We never want to go through that again. We want to

at least be able to mitigate our exposure to the whims and vagaries of the markets and economics.”

The only way to do that is to literally have as lean and as flexible an organization as possible. That means do more with less. To do more with less, you have to have top talent and processes to enable that talent to do their jobs while pioneering a new paradigm.

You can’t do more with less if the people that you’ve got do not have the capability to pull it off. The best way to find those people is to grow them. You can’t just hire them; because if you always go outside to hire them that means that you had to go out and poach them, which costs money and is not a long-term solution to a recurring problem.

Corporations and organizations over a twenty-year period have had to resign themselves, to hire and replace, hire and replace. If you don’t have the type of talent management savvy that gives Gen Xers comfort enough about their career with your organization, they will go elsewhere, and you will consistently need to hire and replace. A properly structured talent management strategy such as a “talent farming” strategy can dramatically cut the cost of that impact and can guarantee you, perhaps, a seven-figure savings over the long Continued on page 19

ArizonA Multihousing AssociAtion Valley ...continued from front page quarter 2009, Phoenix area vacancies were 15 percent. Restricted inventory, modest job growth, declines in foreclosures, tightening single family rental market conditions and relocations of home consumers to Phoenix have all contributed to the vacancy declines.

Central Black Canyon usually holds the top spot for highest vacancy rate for a submarket. In third quarter 2012, Southeast Central Phoenix recorded the Phoenix area’s highest vacancy rate. And, for second time since second quarter 2008, Central Black Canyon recorded vacancies under fifteen percent. As previously noted, the area lost a significant amount of rental housing demand due to the economic downturn of the past few years and controversial immigration legislation.

Central Black Canyon is slowly gaining improvements in apartment occupancy due to its affordability and proximity to jobs and transportation options.

North Scottsdale/Fountain Hills in third quarter 2012 recorded the lowest vacancy rate and the highest rent in the Phoenix metro area. North Scottsdale and South Scottsdale account for 37 percent of the new development pipeline in various planning stages. Central Valley is a submarket which typically has the lowest concession ratio in the Phoenix area also is among the lowest vacancy rate submarkets due to its communities being served by the Phoenix Light Rail Transit System.

As environmental consciousness increases and home consumers’ desire to simplify their lives, apartment buildings in any submarkets served by the LRT system are likely to experience low vacancies and low concessions and rental rate increases.

South Scottsdale’s average rents increased 7.3 percent from third quarter 2011 to third quarter 2012. Rental increases were fueled by South Scottsdale’s vacancy falling over the last year from 9.3 percent to 5.6 percent.

Modest asking rental rate increases for the period occurred ranging from 5.9 percent in South Phoenix to 2.5 percent in East Central Phoenix.

Northwest/Southwest County landlords lowered rents 4.9 percent since last year, mainly in response to the area’s 100 percent concession ratio and to keep area vacancies from increasing. Moon Valley/North Mountain landlords lowered rents over the past year to combat area vacancies and to remain competitive with single family homes in the area which are competing against apartments for rental home consumers.

CONCESSIONS Third quarter 2012 saw a slight increase in concessions over second quarter 2012 concession levels and a lower concession ratio compared to third quarter 2011. The concession ratio in third quarter 2012 was 71 percent, down from 74 percent in third quarter 2011.

Highest Percentage of Communities Offering Concessions in Third Quarter 2012 Northwest/ Southwest County ............ 100 percent Northwest Black Canyon ........ 91 percent Glendale ..................................... 90 percent West Phoenix ............................. 89 percent Metrocenter ............................... 86 percent

Every property in the Northwest/ Southwest County submarket offered concessions during third quarter 2012.

Landlords lowered rents over the past year and area vacancies in third quarter 2012 were kept low at 7.2 percent.

All of the other high concession submarkets are on the west side of Phoenix.

Central Valley in third quarter 2012 remained as the submarket with the lowest concession ratio for the period. Central Valley’s access to LRT and jobs are the reasons why area concessions are so low. Ahwatukee, a supply-constrained market, was the only other submarket in the Phoenix area with a concession ratio below 40 percent.

AMA Selects Sterling Grant as Insurance Partner

By Todd Bradford, AMA

T

he Arizona Multihousing Association is pleased to announce their new Insurance Endorsement Agreement with Sterling Grant and Associates (Sterling Grant).

Earlier this year, the AMA Board of Directors appointed a committee to review the association’s insurance

program and to evaluate the respondents to a Request for Proposal (RFP) sent to members for the opportunity to become the AMA’s endorsed insurance program for the upcoming years. There were many companies who responded to the RFP, and after careful review, Sterling Grant and Associates was selected to become the Association’s new partner by demonstrating the best combination of a strong insurance and risk management programs for AMA members, while maximizing the return to the Association.

Sterling Grant has an insurance program designed specifically for AMA’s membership. Designed to meet the needs of all AMA members by providing maximum premium discounts, Sterling Grant’s program can insure single family homes as well as up to $2 billion in any one multifamily portfolio. Liability limits available up to $100 million, coverages that meet or exceed all lender requirements, and guaranteed acceptance to AMA members are but a few of the benefits of this program. Coverages provided meet or exceed all lender requirements, and all of their insurance carriers meet or exceed all lender financial size requirements.

They also have many resources to help with AMA’s members’ risk

management needs including free custom manuals, free employee training, and are willing to assist with the Five STAR program, as members request, at no additional charge to AMA members.

So far, the AMA has received many positive responses from membership regarding the choice of Sterling Grant as the endorsed carrier. “The Sterling Grant insurance program fit our needs and budget. We look forward to expanding our coverage with them in the future,” said Robert Hicks, Vice President at Alliance Residential Company, and current AMA Chairman of the Board.

Sterling Grant is not limited to providing Property and Casualty insurance, but also offers renters insurance, Life Health and Disability, and Excess and Surplus Lines as well.

They are well positioned in the market to meet all of our members’ insurance needs.

The AMA is also excited to have Laura Milne as the exclusive AMA Member Representative from Sterling Grant. She is the Managing Member of Sterling Grant, as well as the Vice President of Operations. Her experience runs deep, with over 15 years as an insurance professional – she is licensed as a broker as well as an agent.

The RFP committee felt strongly that

the endorsed company needed to have a face in the association – someone the members could call not only for bids and coverage, but when they might need extra assistance. Laura Milne is that person, and has proven herself, pleasant and professional to work with. We are confident that she will serve our members well. She will handle all AMA members for Sterling Grant, and members will work with her on providing bids on insurance, and supporting AMA committees and programs as well.

John Rials, Managing Director from Greystar, and Past AMA Chairman, has been more than satisfied with Sterling Grant as a broker. “Sterling Grant has been very responsive to our needs, many times under a very short deadline. Although Sterling Grant is only one of our insurance brokers, we consider them to be our partners in improving safety while reducing costs.”

The Insurance Endorsement Program benefits AMA members by not only providing for the insurance needs of members, but directly supports the Association and helps to provide the necessary funding for programs throughout the year. q

Apartment News • January 2013

ArizonA Multihousing AssociAtion AZ Sales Tax ...continued from front page Arizona is one of only a few states that do not tax materials for construction as retail at the point of sale. Instead, Arizona administers a taxing system based on prime contracting activities which is not only burdensome for the business community to comply with, but difficult for the state to administer.

The Task Force believes that taxing materials will result in some level of tax relief for contractors who have been compliant and will also result in less opportunity for tax avoidance.

Most importantly it reduces the regulatory burden and allows businesses to focus on their trade rather than navigating the complicated tax system.

The Transaction Privilege Tax Task Force was established through an Executive Order issued by Governor Jan Brewer in May of 2012. The Task Force included tax experts, business owners and municipal representatives.

The creation of the TPT Task Force was due to the general consensus in the business community that Arizona maintains one of the most complex sales tax systems in the nation that is not only difficult for business owners to comply with, but for the state to administer. There is no common sales tax standard for the state and all of the local jurisdictions, which often times forces business owners to

Apartment News • January 2013

hire dedicated employees or consultants in order to effectively navigate through Arizona’s sales tax codes.

Prime contracting was not the only area that the Task Force looked to address. The Task Force also made the following recommendations in the Final Report: • State and local governmental entities, in cooperation with taxpayers, should aggressively work to standardize the tax base, definitions, and interpretations of taxable transactions to the maximum extent possible.

• Any future proposed changes to the tax base by either the state or a municipality should be scrutinized and should not be enacted without a clear understanding of the potential impact of such a change on state and local standardization and budgets.

• State law should provide for statewide TPT administration.

• State, cities and towns should standardize TPT licensing.

• When fully implemented, the online portal required by HB 2466 should be expanded to have all licenses be issued and all TPT tax returns filed through the portal.

• State law should allow only a single audit, in accordance with existing statutory schedules, including a multi-jurisdictional audit if applicable.

• State and local governments and taxpayers should continue to monitor and provide feedback to Arizona’s congressional delegation regarding federal legislation allowing state taxation of online retail and remote sales.

• The Arizona State Legislature should act to ensure Arizona is well-positioned to benefit from the taxation of online retail and remote sales by passing legislation clarifying that taxable transactions are sourced at the destination for both state and local taxes.

• Economic analysis of the impact of taxation on online retail and remote sales should be continued.

As of December there has yet to be any specific legislative proposal in draft form. However we anticipate that some of these recommendations, if not all, are considered by the legislature this session. The Final Report can be viewed on the Governor’s web site, www.azgovernor.gov/TPT. q Courtney LeVinus is a principal with Capitol Consulting and Jake Hinman leads legislative affairs for the firm.

Apartment and Condominium Market Remains Steady in Third Quarter The Multifamily Production Index (MPI), released by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) today, remained steady with an index level of 52. It is the third straight quarter with a reading over 50.

The MPI, which measures builder and developer sentiment about current conditions in the apartment and condominium market on a scale of 0 to 100, was essentially unchanged in the third quarter, only dropping two points from 54 in the second quarter.

The MPI provides a composite measure of three key elements of the multifamily housing market: construction of low-rent units, marketrate rental units and “for-sale” units, or condominiums. The index and all of its components are scaled so that any number over 50 indicates that more respondents report conditions are improving than report conditions are getting worse. In the third quarter of 2012, the MPI component tracking builder and developer perceptions of market-rate rental properties recorded a level of 69 and has been over 60 for five consecutive quarters—the longest sustained period of strength since the inception of the index in

Apartment News • January 2013

2003. For-sale units had its highest reading since the fourth quarter of 2005, coming in at 44, while low-rent units dropped 15 points to 46.

“The market-rate apartment and condo markets continue to improve as household formations generate demand,” said W. Dean Henry, CEO of Legacy Partners Residential in Foster City, Calif., and chairman of NAHB’s Multifamily Leadership Board. “As young households find sustainable employment, most are renting in new apartment communities.”

The Multifamily Vacancy Index (MVI), which measures the multifamily housing industry’s perception of vacancies, dropped three points 33.

With the MVI, lower numbers indicate fewer vacancies. After peaking at 70 in the second quarter of 2009, the MVI declined consistently through 2010 and has been at a fairly low level throughout 2011 and 2012.

“The multifamily market has recovered substantially since the end of 2010, and now stands at about 70 percent of the way back to a sustainable level. Our baseline forecast calls for further steady growth in the rate of multifamily production,” said NAHB

Chief Economist David Crowe.

“However, there are reasons for concern, especially at the affordable end of the rental apartment market, where builder confidence dropped dramatically in the third quarter.

That was likely due to a specific provision of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit set to expire at the end of the year. The prospect of dealing with this is making lower-rent projects difficult to underwrite. Ongoing deficit-reduction negotiations in Congress need to address this issue, or a serious shortage of affordable rental housing may develop.”

Historically, the MPI and MVI have performed well as leading indicators of U.S. Census figures for multifamily starts and vacancy rates, providing information on likely movement in the Census figures one to three quarters in advance.

Apartment Industry Issues Housing Finance Reform Key Principles: Calls for Ongoing Federal Role to Ensure Capital in All Markets at All Times As lawmakers consider housing finance reform, the meaningful differences between the single-family and multifamily sectors require unique solutions for each. The National Multi Housing Council (NMHC) and National Apartment Association (NAA) Joint Legislative Program has issued a white paper outlining the key principles a reformed housing finance system needs to embrace to preserve liquidity and stability for the wellperforming multifamily sector.

One in three Americans rent, and apartments are helping meet the housing needs of 17 million households across all income levels in every corner of the country. But the private apartment sector’s ability to meet the growing demand for rental housing depends on consistently reliable and competitively priced capital.

“The industry supports a return to a system dominated by private capital; however, even in healthy economic times, private capital has not been able to meet the broad

liquidity needs of the apartment industry,” said NMHC President Doug Bibby.

“A private-only housing finance system results in an overabundance of capital for high-end properties in top-tier markets, but leaves secondary and smaller markets underserved,” said Bibby. “Private capital is returning to the market, but as has been the case historically, it is concentrating in a handful of cities and on trophy assets.”

“Ensuring capital is available in all markets and at all times so the apartment industry can continue to provide housing from coast to coast and should be the goal of housing finance reform,” said NAA President, Doug Culkin, CAE. The NMHC/NAA white paper points out that the very successful multifamily programs of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were not part of the meltdown and have actually generated $7 billion in net profits to the government since conservatorship.

IS YOUR BUSINESS LOST IN A CORNFIELD?

“A solution that doesn’t recognize the unique needs of the multifamily sector would have disastrous consequences for the nation’s supply of workforce housing,” said Culkin.

A reformed housing finance system should retain the successful components of the existing multifamily programs in whatever succeeds them. The key principles for multifamily housing reform as outline by the NMHC/NAA white paper are: 1. Provide Access to Federal Credit Support 2. Provide Broad Liquidity Support at All Times, Not Just “Stop-Gap” or Emergency 3. Mission Should Focus on Liquidity, Not Mandates 4. Restrict Federal Credit Support to the Security Level 5. Support Private Capital and Protect Taxpayers Through Effective Guarantee Structure and Pricing 6. Encourage Competition 7. Empower a Strong Regulator 8. Impose Effective Capital Requirements 9. Retain Limited Portfolio Lending (without a Federal Guarantee) While Expanding Securitization 10. Reduce Existing Portfolios in a Responsible Manner 11. Create Certainty and Retain Existing Resources/Capacity During the Transition

The key principles outlined by NMHC/NAA reflect meaningful differences between the current/ historical GSE structure and a future one. The four main differences are: 1. Government Guarantee at the Security Level Only 2. Separately Accounting for Multifamily Activities 3. Market Pricing to Avoid Crowding Out Private Capital 4. Limited and Capped Retained Mortgage Portfolios NMHC/NAA’s white paper is available at www.nmhc.org/goto/ FinanceReformPrinciples.

For more than 20 years, the National Apartment Association (NAA) and the National Multi Housing Council (NMHC) have partnered on behalf of America’s apartment industry. Drawing on the knowledge and policy expertise of staff in Washington, D.C., as well as the advocacy power of 170 NAA state and local affiliated associations, NAA and NMHC provide a single voice for developers, owners and operators of multifamily rental housing. One-third of Americans rent their housing, and more than 14 percent of all U.S. households live in an apartment home.

The Tax Man Cometh for Your Real Estate Income

By Jeneé Hilliard As part of the financing of Obama Care, Congress created Internal Revenue Code Section 1411, which created a new 3.8 percent Medicare tax.

The new Medicare tax will take effect on January 1, 2013, and will apply to net investment income of individuals with a modified adjusted gross income of at least $200,000 ($250,000 for couples filing jointly). The tax will apply to the lesser of (1) the taxpayer’s total “net investment income” for the year, or (2) the amount by which the individual’s total income exceeds $200,000 (or $250,000 for married couples filing jointly). This new tax will hit real estate investors hard.

Investment Income Includes Rental Income Under the new code provision, “net investment income” is defined to include “gross” rents. Even though “gross” rents are subject to the new Medicare tax, the “gross” rents can be reduced by deductions properly allocable to the rents. We expect that this will allow an individual to deduct depreciation, interest expense, property taxes, insurance payments, and other rental property expenses before determining the amount of “gross” rents subject to the new Medicare tax (although it does cause concern that Congress used the term “gross rents,” if it is actually intended to mean “net” rents).

Exception for Real Estate Professionals One way to avoid the tax is for a taxpayer to qualify as a real estate professional and for the taxpayer to materially participate in the real estate activities that generate the rental income. To be a real estate professional, a taxpayer must (1) spend more than half her time in real estate businesses and (2) perform more than 750 hours of service per tax year in a real estate business.

Real estate businesses include businesses that participate in rental, leasing, real property development, construction, acquisition, conversion, operation, management, or brokerage activities. But any services performed by a taxpayer in a real estate business

as an employee will not be counted toward meeting the “real estate professional” participation requirements unless the taxpayer is also at least a 5-percent owner of its employer.

A taxpayer will be treated as materially participating in the real estate activities that generate the rental income if the taxpayer: (1) provides at least 501 hours of service to the business during the tax year, (2) provides substantially all the services for the business (after evaluating participation from nonowners), or (3) provides at least 101 hours of service to the business during the tax year if no other person provides more service to the business (after evaluating participation from nonowners). For example, a real estate professional who also individually owns 35 rental properties but hires a property manager and performs very few services related to the rental, operation, or management of the properties will not have materially participated in the activities that generated the rental income and may therefore be subject to the new Medicare tax.

The real estate professional exception is narrow, but many real property developers, property managers, and brokers who own their own companies and also materially participate in the management and operation of their own rental properties will not be subject to the new Medicare tax. This also means that the rental income for any taxpayer who is not properly classified as a real estate professional will be “net investment income” and may be subject to the new Medicare tax.

owns real estate or not) and may be subject to the new Medicare tax. Similarly, the partnership rental income allocated to a partner who does not materially participate in the rental business of the partnership will be “net investment income” and may be subject to the new Medicare tax.

Investment Income Includes Gain on Sale of Real Estate In addition to applying to “gross” rents after deductions, the new Medicare tax also applies to the net gain on the disposition of any real property not held in a real estate business.

This means that gain on the sale of a principal residence may be subject to the new Medicare tax to the extent the gain is not sheltered by the principal residence exclusion. This also means that the gain on the sale of appreciated rental property may also be subject to the new Medicare tax unless the gain on the sale is not recognized, for example, as a result of a taxpayer’s completing a Section 1031 exchange.

Tax-Saving Ideas The new Medicare tax casts a wide net to tax rental real estate income and capital gains on sale. Individuals who anticipate being subject to the new 3.8 percent Medicare tax may want to engage in advance tax planning before the tax becomes effective, for example, by selling appreciated real estate in 2012 to avoid the new Medicare tax or investing in tax-free income-producing assets instead of rental properties. The new Medicare tax may provide an additional incentive for taxpayers to complete a Section 1031 exchange after January 1, 2013. q For further information about Medicare tax and real estate income, contact Jeneé Hilliard at (503) 205-2505 or at jenee. hilliard@millernash.com.

Application to Entities Although the new tax applies to individuals, but not to partnerships, limited liability companies, or corporations, taxpayers that own real estate investments indirectly through an entity will not avoid the new Medicare tax. With respect to corporations (including S corporations), the dividends received by a shareholder will automatically be “net investment income” unless the shareholder materially participates in the business (regardless of whether the corporation

Will You Be Prepared for the Next Hurricane Sandy?

Asset Protection Specialist Offers Disaster Safeguarding Tips As the beleaguered residents of New York City and New Jersey continue to put their lives back together, asset protection lawyer Hillel L. Presser reminds Americans – it could happen to you!

“We’ve seen some bizarre, destructive weather in recent years – nearly 1700 tornadoes in 2011, extreme drought this year and Hurricane Sandy followed up with a Nor’easter, just to name a few,” says Presser, author of “Financial SelfDefense (Revised Edition),” www. assetprotectionattorneys.com.

“And we can expect more of the same. AccuWeather is forecasting major snowstorms from North Carolina to New York City in January and February; severe storms across the South, with the possibility of tornadoes and flash flooding; and a growing drought in the Northwest that carries the potential for more wildfires.”

People should take steps now, before a crisis, to make sure they’re protected, he says.

“If your tree falls on your neighbor’s house in a storm, will you be prepared for a lawsuit?” he asks. “Is your important paperwork in a safe

place where you’ll be able to access it if your home floods, like so many people in New York and New Jersey?”

He offers these tips for safeguarding your assets now: • Protect your assets from lawsuits.

One way to do this is by protectively titling non-exempt assets.

Exempt assets vary by state and may include such things as your primary residence and personal furniture; make sure to check your specific state exemptions – those items generally should not need any extra protection. However, non-exempt assets, such as bank accounts, recreational vehicles and the like, should be titled in the names of corporations, limited partnerships, domestic trusts and other entities.

• Have adequate insurance. In fact, over-insure your assets! Those include -- but are not limited to -- your car, home, and other valuables. You never know what you could lose in a natural disaster.

• Diversify your assets geographically. This is extremely important in the case of natural disasters. Use international asset protection to

help disperse your valuables into some non-U.S.-based jurisdictions.

• Safeguard your paperwork. Collect and copy all paperwork and have it accessible in the event you must evacuate. Give the second copy to a trusted financial advisor, attorney or trustee for safekeeping.

Take a video of every room and keep an itemized asset list with your paperwork. That way, you’ll have the documentation to present to your insurance company when filing a claim. Photos and videos, as well as receipts and documents showing the value of those assets will help.

• Safeguard your business. Create a plan of action to implement in the event of a natural disaster, and practice implementing it. Hurricane Sandy illustrated the problems business owners faced in trying to resume operations during widespread power outages and equipment destroyed by floodwaters. Do you have a generator?

Can you utilize cloud computing?

Keep a record of all payrolls and business documents remotely so that if you don’t have access to your business dwelling, you can

A

still access copies of all important business documentation.

• Make sure your estate plan is up to date. Everyone should have an updated Estate Plan, including minor children. Choose one trustworthy person to be the executor of your estate. This person should have a hard copy of your financial account information and list of your assets, including intellectual property and passwords that you can access in the event of a natural disaster. q Hillel L. Presser’s firm, The Presser Law Firm, P.A., represents individuals and businesses in establishing comprehensive asset protection plans. He is a graduate of Syracuse University’s School of Management and Nova Southeastern University’s law school, and serves on Nova’s President’s Advisory Council. He also serves on the boards of several non-profit organizations for his professional athlete clients. He is a former adjunct faculty member for law at Lynn University.

Holiday Happy Hour at the Ritz

By Jim Kowalski, Associate Member Chair

A

record-breaking 70 Associate Member Companies hosted this year’s AMA Holiday get together; please be sure to thank them for their support! (Look for a listing of host companies in this edition of the Apartment News.) We relocated

12

our event back to the Ritz after celebrating last year at the Montelucia.

With about the same number of guests attending this year as last, the smaller room provided more of a bustling, intimate feel. Thank you to all the regular members for coming out and joining us for the holiday celebration. Special thanks to all the Board Members (and there were many) who were able to attend. I hear often from

the Associate Members how much they appreciate your attendance and participation. Also, I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank the hard-working staff at the AMA, in particular, Michelle Rill & Brooks Hansen.

Many people went home with some fabulous items from a very large silent auction benefitting AMAPAC. Bidding is both a way to purchase a nice gift and also to help the AMA

and our industry as a whole. There seemed to be something for everyone, and I want thank all those who donated items which contributed to the great success.

The biggest bargain of the night had to be the opportunity to take home a car for a $5 donation to Big Hearts for Little Hands, benefitting UMOM New Day Centers. The car, a Continued on page 13

This car has had terrific exposure, having been to many community events and properties as an added incentive to enhance tickets sales. So, in addition to their generous donation, I want to recognize Kwik Tow for all their efforts in shuttling the car around town for us.

With the high price of gas these days, an economical car like this was quite a popular prize, which undoubtedly increased ticket sales. The excitement rose to a fever pitch as everyone anticipated who the lucky winner would be. When I pulled the ticket and read the name, I was pleasantly surprised that we had this year’s winner in the room at the time.

Apartment News • January 2013

Kelly Harrison of All City Towing approached the stage, and I saw the surprise in his eyes at having been picked. Ah, but the night was still young, and the biggest surprise was yet to come! As I was congratulating him, Kelly leaned into me and whispered, “On behalf of All City Towing, we would like to donate the car back.”

Well, how about them apples?

All City Towing had donated the cars to us for the last two years, and then donated this year’s car from Kwik Tow right back to us! Obviously, Kelly Harrison is a man of great composure…..I am not sure I could have handled my unexpected good fortune as generously as he did!

For those who believe in Karma, expect good things for both Kwik Tow & All City Towing in the new year!

This year the AMA moved the Holiday Party to early in the party season and I think we saw a larger turnout because we avoided the holiday rush! Thanks to all the hard work and dedication of the hosts, donors, attendees, Board Members, Holiday Party Committee, and AMA Staff. q

I hope to see you there next year!

SCF and AMA Partner for SAFETY PROGRAM

he AMA is partnered with SCF AZ to help provide for our members provide for their workers’ compensation needs. The Association Safety Program (ASP) is designed exclusively for SCF Arizona policyholders that are members of trade and business associations, which partner with SCF to make Arizona’s jobsites safer.

The program does not carry any adverse risk for the policyholder. Policy holders maintain their individual policy and their rates and dividends are not affected by participation in this program, however, by participating, the policyholder does become eligible for bonus dividends that may be paid based on the AMA’s collective safety record. Participation in the program also helps strengthen the AMA by providing valuable resources and funds for AMA programs. The objectives of the program are to provide workplace safety education, to help reduce injuries and to keep workers’ compensation premiums as low as possible.

How it works: AMA members that are qualified SCF policyholders from SCF Premier Insurance Co., SCF American Insurance Co., SCF Western Insurance Co., SCF Arizona, SCF General Insurance Co. and SCF Indemnity Insurance Co. may apply

to join our program. The association and SCF will review applicants to determine eligibility. Accepted businesses that are SCF General or SCF Indemnity policyholders can become eligible for a SCF Arizona policy, which entitles them to a 10 percent rate deviation of the standard premium rate at their policy anniversary following acceptance in an ASP. SCF Arizona policyholders that are eligible for the 10 percent (10%) deviation and who qualify for an individual dividend, also can share in any potential bonus safety dividend the association may earn. Dividends are never guaranteed, and when the respective SCF board does so, the payment may take up to 10 months.

Each participating ASP member maintains an individual policy and remains responsible to SCF for payroll and premium reporting.

The member may have an experience rating (e-mod), which may allow for an additional premium discount.

Maintaining a low e-mod along with a proactive safety program helps policyholders keep their workers’ compensation costs in check. Joining the AMA ASP program will provide your business valuable safety information, networking and educational opportunities.

Please feel free to call Todd Bradford at the AMA if you have any ques-

tions about your SCF policy or if you would like to become involved with the Association Safety Program.

Key Tax Increases From Health Care Law Take Effect in 2013

partment firms are reminded that a number of significant tax increases impacting the industry, which were enacted in 2010 as part of health care reform legislation, are scheduled to take effect beginning in 2013. Two of the most important changes, which affect both apartment firms and employees, concern the Medicare tax rate and applicability.

Under the new rules, an additional 0.9 percent Medicare payroll tax will be applied to wages for individuals earning more than $200,000 and married couples earning more than $250,000. Unlike current law, which imposes a 2.9 percent Medicare payroll tax on all wage income (shared equally between employee and employer), employees will be solely responsible for the additional tax increase.

In addition, while no Medicare payroll tax today applies to net investment income—including annuities, capital gains, interest, dividends, royalties and rents—the new health care reform legislation will impose a 3.8 percent tax on such income for high-income earners. However, certain caveats apply—one of the most important being that the new tax applies only to passive investment income.

For more detailed information, NAA/NMHC have prepared a summary of these and other tax increases related to the health care law available here. q

compete?” or “Do we want to invest in ‘talent farming’ now so that we can have the best talent in house to deal with whatever organizational challenges come next?”

Don’t continue down the path of trying to figure out what accommodates your need to feel comfortable, but is in opposition to the desire to get a result. Because sometimes, you have to get uncomfortable to get the result you want. You have to go through a period where it’s going to be downright ugly as you shake things up, break things down and build them back up stronger. A sus-

tainable, proactive approach to talent management is the organization’s displayed willingness to make lasting cultural change.

Talent management is about sourcing candidates for knowledge, skills, and abilities to accomplish the organization of today’s goals. It stresses the importance of hiring based on the right fit for the individual and the organization.

Being stuck in the middle between having employees who are able to do the job, and in a place where they can do the job well is somewhere many organizations often find themselves.

However, many are learning to recognize the warning signs, and know now how important it is to get it right when hiring for the best fit. q

There are serious questions that companies and organizations must now ask themselves, “Do we want to continue to muddle along with this talent management thing and have things remain the same?” or “Do we want the Board of Directors to continue to kick us to get a plan in place?” or “Do we want to put the company into the position where the next time that there’s an economic downturn, which there will be, or the competition has a decided advantage and we’re losing market share we can

ROOMMATES…Don’t You Just Love Em?

By Andy M. Hull, Esq., Hull, Holliday and Holliday, PLC

E

very landlord, from time to time, rents an apartment or home to roommates. The roommates may consist of all female or all male occupants, or may be a mix of females and males. This article will try to address some of the more problematic situations with roommates.

If you as a landlord are going to rent to roommates, it is highly recommended you have each person sign the lease. This way you contractually bind each roommate to the lease and you also identify each individual who will be occupying the rental unit. One legal principle roommates often fail to understand is that by signing the lease they become jointly and severably liable on the lease. What this means is that should the tenants breach the lease and fail to pay or skip out on the lease, the landlord may hold each tenant fully liable for any monies owed.

The tenants are not just responsible for “their” on half of the rent. For instance, if you obtain a Judgment in Court for $600.00 owed by three roommates and only one is employed and collectable, you as a landlord can collect the full amount from the one

tenant. That tenant would have to sue his or her roommates to recover their share of what was owed.

The same theory applies to roommates who pay their part of the rent and one of their checks is returned “Insufficient Funds.” If this situation happens, a landlord can apply the “good” check or checks to the rent owed and deliver a 5-day Notice plus any late charges and “NSF” fees to all tenants for the balance due. It is not a legal defense in Court that some of the tenants “paid their share.” The same conclusion would be reached if one of the roommates gave their portion of the rent to their roommate, who in turn did not pay the rent due.

Even though, at no fault of their own, the roommate’s portion of the rent is mis-used by the other roommate, that again is no defense to non-payment of rent.

The final area of concern involves the situation where one roommate wants to exclude another roommate from the apartment or wants the other roommate taken off the lease. Unless there is a Court Order (i.e. Restraining Order) prohibiting one person from entering the apartment, the landlord should not allow the other roommate to change the locks. You should al-

ways ask to see the Court Order and keep a copy of it in the resident’s file in case the absent roommate returns and asks for a key to the apartment.

Alternatively, if one roommate tells you that the other roommate has moved out and they want their name taken off the lease, you should not comply with the request unless the following occurs: If both or all of the roommates agree to releasing one or more persons from the lease and the landlord also consents, then the lease can be modified to remove one or more of the occupants. Also, the tenants should all personally appear in the manager’s office and sign off on the lease.

As an example, consider the following: “Three roommates, Ginger Vitus, Art Heist and Nick O. Teen, rent an apartment at the Dead-Beats R Us Apartment Complex. Three months into the lease, Art Heist comes to the office and informs manager, Les Hassel, that Ginger Vitus has skipped out and he wants her name off of the

lease and that Nick O. Teen tried to assault him and he wants the locks changed. He also informs Les Hassel he will pay his one third of the rent until he can find new roommates. Les Hassel hands Art Heist a 5-Day Notice for non-payment of all of the rent and informs him that until he obtains a Court Order excluding Nick O. Teen from the apartment, no locks will be changed. q Andy M. Hull is the principal of Hull, Holliday & Holliday, PLC. He can be reached at 602.230.0088.

Trust your restoration experts!

ADANAC is there for you every step of the way!

Specializing in fire, water and storm damage, ADANAC is nationally recognized within the restoration industry. Make no mistake, rebuilding a home or business requires a different skill-set than building a new home from the ground up.

Timely response is needed to protect and preserve the remaining structure.

Building materials, design, wiring and fixtures must be matched to the remaining structure. Issues such as moisture, mold, and debris may require attention.

Special insurance requirements must be considered. When it comes to reconstruction, you want experts. Since 2003, ADANAC has brought hundreds of Arizona homes and businesses back to life.

“We work directly for YOU, not the insurance company.”
