A Home For Every Dreamer

My wife and I recently watched a few tiny house television episodes. The creativity required to fit the needs of the client into such tiny spaces intrigued me as did the reasons people gave for wanting to live that lifestyle. Most involved finances, less work, the desire to be transient, wanting more family time. No one loves their family more than me but honestly, if four of us had to live in 336 sq. feet, I'd probably want to work MORE hours outside the home, not less. Just keeping it real, folks.

Counter that with the online video tour we took of an on-themarket 17,000-square-foot home located in Ontario. I mean, if an opulent house built with impeccable workmanship and materials that includes nearly every luxurious feature you could think of, including an underground heated garage with 20+ parking spaces, doesn't turn your head, maybe the $11,490,000 price tag would.

Personally, my hands-down favorite homes are those rustic cabins tucked away in some remote wilderness, 300 miles from the closest neighbor. I imagine myself felling trees, milling lumber, tracking moose across the tundra, braving sub-zero temps to check my trapping line. If you know me...you know none one of those things is ever going to happen. But hey, it's fun to think about. While sitting on my couch. Remote in hand, snack nearby.

Chances are, if you're house hunting, you're looking for something a little less exotic and a lot closer to home. We've got you covered. The properties featured in this issue and online at LifeandHomes. com just might fit the bill. Contact one of the professionals represented in this issue and ask them to help you find the home that fits your needs and dreams.

Remember, good homes are made, not bought.

Weird or Wonderful? AI Coming To A Home Near You

Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2023 was the place to be if you wanted to see some of the latest innovations in consumer goods featuring AI (Artificial Intelligence). Some interesting products were on display that may soon show up in your home.

Koehler company showcased their voiceactivated, self-filling Stillness Infinity Bath. Water in this smart bathtub, designed to turn your bathroom into a home spa, fills from the bottom of the tub and overflows into a wood mote to create the infinity experience. Complete with full spectrum lighting, fog that hovers on the surface of the bath, the option to add essential oils, and the ability to customize all elements through a Koehler Konnect app, the smart bath will be available for purchase later this year. Start saving up for this soaker. Prices range from $6,198 to $15,998.

How about this idea for the expectant couple, the AI-powered GlüxKind Ella Stroller. The sleek-looking stroller - wait for it - is selfdriving, has a smart brake to keep it from rolling out of reach, and has a rocking feature with built-in white noise. When nothing is too good for your little one, $3,800 will have them strolling in style.

Masonite's MPwr Smart Door, touted as the first-ever powered and fully integrated smart door for your home, includes LED welcome lights, a Yale smart lock, and a Ring video doorbell. The door connects to the home's power supply and includes a battery backup in the event the power goes off. Easily control lights, check if the door is open, or program the motion-sensing lights to welcome you home at night. Look for the Smart Door at Home Depot later this year. It will be watching for you.

How about installing a Numi 2.0 smart toilet to get your guests talking? The smart toilet, (who ever imagined we would have such a term?), features a motion-activated lid and lights, a built-in bidet that cleans and drys bottoms, and Alexa-enabled blue tooth

speakers /lights to help set the mood. Now you can whistle while you....work, to the tune of approx. $8,500.

Let's move to the kitchen where VersaWare is launching the next generation of smart kitchen products. Choose from their connected Mixing Bowl or the connected Cutting Board. Both are Wi-Fi enabled, have phone connectivity, are waterproof, washable, and come with Recipe AI for automated nutrition calculation. Coupled with the app., VersaWard claims these smart devices will help simplify nutrition tracking, making healthy eating easier than ever.

Trends come and go. Like it or not, AI is here to stay in home products whether you're coming..or going.

How to Maximize

the Value and Timeliness of Your Tax Return

Research shows that if you’re dreading tax season, you’re not alone.

According to the Pew Research Center, 47% of Americans say they are bothered a lot by the complexity of the federal tax system. Other taxpayers stress out over getting the details right, not maximizing their refund, or making a mistake.

“Many Americans rely on their tax refund to make ends meet. Accessing those funds should be fast and easy,” says Chad Prashad, president and CEO of World Finance.

To help you get a handle on your taxes, World Finance is drawing on its 26 years of filing expertise to offer these timely tips:

• Get ready early. As soon as your employer provides your W2, you can file your taxes. Having all other documentation and receipts ready to go will help expedite the process, which means you will get your tax return

faster, too. Collect the necessary materials in one place before filing.

• Consider significant life changes. Did you move in 2022? Have a baby? Get married? Change jobs? Each of these monumental life events can have an impact on your taxes, so be sure to disclose these factors when filing or to the professional filing on your behalf.

• Know what’s new. Visit IRS.gov to learn about any changes to tax filings that are applicable to you. A tax services professional can also help you identify relevant updates. World Finance tax pros have year-round training to stay on top of the latest tax filing requirements and are ready to tailor tax services to each tax customer’s financial situation.

• Review and adjust. Once you know what your return is going to be this year, make any necessary adjustments to your W2 to make sure you’re withholding enough during the year. If this is your first year working with a professional tax service, have them review your previous years’ filings as well. You may be able to recover additional refunds if anything was missed. World Finance offers this service for no additional charge.

• Consider a tax refund loan. After filing, you can potentially take out a loan for the amount of your expected refund. This is known as a tax refund loan and an option to consider if you need your refund as soon as possible.

• Work with a professional. Filing your taxes with a software program is a low-cost option, but only if you have time to dedicate to the task, and the know-how to get your biggest possible tax return. Working with a reliable, trusted tax preparation service can help ensure your taxes are filed correctly, and your return is as substantial as it can be. Look for a service that offers transparent pricing, flexible filing options and same-day Tax Advance Loans, such as World Finance. For more information, visit loansbyworld.com/taxes.

Tax season doesn’t need to create headaches, fears, or anxieties. By gathering important tax documents in advance and understanding your filing and refund options, you can have confidence that you’ve maximized the value and timeliness of your tax return. (StatePoint)

Amodio Realty, Inc. Pays it Forward by Giving Back

Real Estate Rebate Program Honors Local Heroes

BY RICHARD BARRETT Aug. 2018

Amodio Realty Inc., located in the Town of Lee, wanted to show its appreciation to the military, law enforcement, firefighters, first responders, health care professionals, and teachers for their service to country and community, but wanted to do it in a way that went beyond mere words.

So the small family real estate agency, staffed by Stephen Amodio (Broker/Owner), his wife Betsy (President/Owner), and their daughter, Lucciana, decided to do something extraordinary with their business after learning about Heroes Home Advantage and a courageous woman named Michele Ladd, its founder.

Stephen Amodio, a former Marine whose own family includes many community heroes, heard about Ladd’s noble mission of honoring hometown heroes by offering discounts and rebates on real estate services, and he wanted to get on board. He did his due diligence first, spending nine months researching and speaking with other realtors nationwide who were already participating.

Amodio Realty, Inc. joined the Heroes Home Advantage program in January of 2017 and is currently working with about a half dozen heroes. He has closed on several properties already, but explained that it’s not about being pressured to obtain listings, move properties and meet sales quotas. It’s about giving back. He discovered through census tract records that in the tri-county area he exclusively serves -- Herkimer, Madison and Oneida Counties --

these categories of community heroes when combined comprise 50% of their total population.

“We can never repay our heroes for their service, but we can honor them with a small token of our appreciation,” Amodio said. “We are looking for opportunities to honor local community heroes. That is our goal.”

Amodio Realty gives 25% of earned commission directly to the hero, (up to $5000 per transaction), when we close on the sale and/or purchase of their residential or commercial property.

“It’s a small gesture in comparison to the their daily sacrifices and service to our community and country,” he said.

He also works closely with a comprehensive, likeminded network of community partners who offer additional rebates and discounts on their related products and services. The savings to heroes when all is said and done can be thousands of dollars.

As word of mouth about the program spreads, Amodio envisions adding a half-dozen sales staff and expanding his cadre of committed community business partners even further. He graciously welcomes those who respect the program’s mission and embrace its spirit of honoring community heroes for their contributions.

“We’re hungry for more hero partners,” he said. “The door is wide open to virtually any business, but we discourage people from using the program to leverage their business and not follow through on their promises.” There are no fees involved, no catches, and no restrictions on how Amodio’s rebate can be used. The program is open to all qualified active, retired and volunteer heroes, both buyers and sellers, including first-time home buyers.

Amodio can’t hide his enthusiasm for the program and the people it serves.

“We’re enjoying doing this,” he admitted. “We always get a great reception.”

Heroes Home Advantage has representation in 40 states. For more information, visit AmodioRealty.com or HeroesHomeAdvantage.com

DecKa Real Estate COST SEGREGATION Division

Cost segregation is a way for commercial property owners to accelerate their tax deductions.

Through this method, a real estate owner is able to depreciate the individual components that make up their property in the shortest amount of time possible.

Cost segregation is the method of re-classifying components of your commercial building from real property to personal property.

This process allows the assets to be depreciated on a 5-, 7-, or 15-year schedule instead of the traditional 27.5- or 39-year depreciation schedule of real property.

The Owners current taxable income will be greatly reduced, and there cash flow could increase by 5% – 8% of your building’s cost.

Commercial building and income property owners have used cost segregation studies for years. These studies have resulted in advantageous depreciation deductions for taxpayers and have become a common method of depreciation.

DecKa Real Estate COST SEGREGATION Division provides Cost Segregation services to commercial property owners so they can significantly increase their cash flow NOW! Time Value of Money!
