How do we value a property?
We analyze every business
5 different ways
* Method 1 - SDE (Seller's Discretionary Earnings)

* Method 3 - WAGS (Weighted Average of Gross Sales)
* Method 4 - BFG (Rules of thumb from a large book called the Business Reference Guide)

* If commercial real estate is involved, we do a comprehensive CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) to determine the value of the real estate

Capital Gains
*Capital Gains are the excess money that you made from your base that you bought it from to the amount you are selling it at.
* Capital gain is the increase in the value of a capital asset when it is sold. A capital gain occurs when you sell an asset for more than what you originally paid for it.
* Almost any type of asset you own is a capital asset. This can include a type of investment (like a stock, bond, a business or real estate) or something purchased for personal use (like furniture or a boat).
* Capital gains are realized when you sell an asset by subtracting the original purchase price from the sale price. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) taxes individuals on capital gains in certain circumstances.
