How to promote your real estate assets?
To value your property and make it grow, you need to know its exact location, the quality of its construction and, if necessary, the rental demand.
Some investors prefer building land for their main or secondary residence. This acquisition is not subject to real estate VAT, but only to registration fees which amount to 5.09%. Note that the home must not be a furnished rental. Building land can also be used to build apartment buildings or not.
Forests, fields and agricultural plantations are good investments because they are profitable. They can be bequeathed.
Real estate, the case of SCI
The real estate civil society is a specific legal structure. By opting for an SCI, the managers aim to manage a property together.

The choice of an SCI has advantages. The transmission of real estate assets is made easier. This legal status is also advantageous from a tax point of view.
Real estate, the life annuity

Usually, this is a retirement supplement. The purchaser, for his part, builds up real estate in peace. The constitution of the annuity is established when the notarial deed is signed and ends on the death of the seller.
There are several kinds of life annuity. The occupied life annuity is the best known. The owner sells his property while continuing to live there. On the contrary, in the event of a free life annuity, the buyer can live there immediately. There is also forward selling, defined as seller credit. The seller occupies the home for a period defined in advance. He vacates the premises on the day of the signing of the deed of sale.
The life annuity also represents an interesting income in terms of taxation.
