Mills Act Lofts – Top Ten Downtown Los Angeles Real Estate Topics

Why are They Trying to Stop You from Getting Mills Act Tax Benefits?

When they try to stop us from doing something, it’s a big sign that something is a big benefit for us, maybe not for them.  In this case, that something is Mills
Act homes.  So good that they don’t want us to have it? Because Mills Act saves homeowners 66% on property taxes.  These beautiful historic properties give about 2/3 of the property tax right back to us, so we get more resources to maintain these amazing pieces of timeless architecture.  That is like getting paid about $6,500 per year to live in an awesome historic loft.  That’s a super good deal.  NOW factor in the increasing benefits as property taxes increase over time, and, for long-term residents the benefits could add up to many tens of thousands of dollars, possibly more than $200,000 in property tax savings over a mortgage term.  That’s HUGE!  This is so good that they will try to stop it. The Mills Act deal must be renegotiated every 10 years.  #millsact #lofts #dtla

Just this week, Facebook (which has been on an appalling spree of censorship), told us that we can not advertise these properties unless we get special  permission (see “Enemy of Truth” below), and we must first register as a political advertiser. Well, they are having serious difficulties with the truth, utterly unable to figure out what is and what is not a political ad.  We informed the pilferer of privacy several times that Mills Act property ads are not political ads; they are local real estate ads.  They ignored us  — they have no interest in the truth.   For now, we are going to ignore their political problems, and we will use all other platforms to provide more details about Mills Act properties, which are currently the #1 most popular topic chosen by readers of the L.A. Loft Blog.

With property tax benefits, along with up to 50% business expense write-offs, Mills Act live/work lofts are among the very smartest deals when it comes to tax savings.   Tell us what you think.  COMMENT
