Think of a chattel appraisal as an investment with an average annual ROI of 125% - 250% for five years.
The average value of personal property found in a 1500 sq. ft house is $15,000-$25,000. The first year’s taxable income is reduced by $3000 - $5000.
If you’re in the 25% tax bracket, that equates to a $750 - $1250 net savings on your tax bill this year. Investing should always be this easy!
