KEN CALVERT
ENDORSED BY
AMERICA’S LEADING SMALL BUSINESS
ORGANIZATION
Last month, the National Federation
of Independent Business (NFIB)
announced it endorsed Ken Calvert’s
re-election to represent California’s
42nd Congressional District in the
House of Representatives. NFIB is
the nation’s leading small business
advocacy organization.
“It is an honor to receive the support
of American job creators who are
the backbone of our economy,” said
Calvert. “I proudly delivered on my
promise to support long overdue tax
reform that gives our small businesses
and taxpayers much needed relief. I
will continue to work with our entrepreneurs
to enact solutions that allow
them to succeed and grow.”
In announcing its endorsement,
the NFIB indicated Congressman
Calvert’s re-election is critical to the
small businesses in the 42nd Congressional
District, and they look
forward to continue working with
him on important issues. Specifically,
NFIB is focused on issues important
to small businesses, including health
care, regulations and taxes.
“As a former small business owner,
I know what it’s like to sign the
front of a paycheck and how much
those paychecks mean to hardworking
families,” added Calvert. “I will
continue to support policies that create
jobs and grow wages.”
Congressman Calvert is a former
small business owner from Corona
currently serving as a senior member
of the House Appropriations Committee.
Prior to Congress, Ken was a
successful businessman in restaurants
and commercial brokerage and development.
“I supported tax cuts because you
deserve to keep more of your hardearned
money. I also voted to eliminate
job killing red-tape so American
businesses can better compete in the
global economy,” said Calvert. “These
votes resulted in bonuses, higher wages,
and investments to expand small
businesses. “
Calvert’s legislative work has
received top ratings from the Americans
for Tax Reform, U.S. Chamber
of Commerce, League of Private
Property Voters, National Federation
of Independent Businesses, 60 Plus
Association, Small Business Survival
Committee and Citizens for a Sound
Economy.
Liberty Real Estate Services –
Property Management and 1031
Exchange Accommodator
Hi, I’m Scott Chappell. In my
decades in real estate, I’ve heard all
sorts of stories. Many of them cause
me to shake my head. Not too long
ago I was speaking with a woman
who owned rental properties. She
was also a lender, so she was in the
real estate industry. When I asked her
if she was working with a property
manager, she answered, “No, $100
a month is too expensive! I can take
care of it myself.”
A few months later, I learned her
tenants had trashed one of her rentals.
Another had also been damaged badly.
As a result, she had to do a total
rehab on both properties at a cost of
about $15,000 each. Not only that,
she went without the rental income
from both for a full six months. In all
it cost her approximately $55,000.
The saying penny wise, pound-foolish
comes to mind when I hear something
like this. Her huge loss could
have been avoided completely with
a small monthly fee. An experienced
property manager can actually make
you money.
I also spoke with a woman,
someone I considered to be real estate
savvy, who sold a property and made
substantial capital gains on the sale.
She wound up paying $75,000 in capital
gains tax. Had she hired an expert
1031 Exchange Accommodator, most,
if not all of those taxes could have
been deferred or eliminated.
What you don’t know can hurt
you. Not only can I help if you need
a property manager or 1031 Exchange
Accommodator, my team and I can
help you when you’re in the market
to buy or sell real estate.
