The idea of owning real estate can be enticing, particularly when the land becomes a source of income. However, the reward of revenue comes with a number of associated costs: taxes, estate planning, and other red tape.

Brian Kempf, a principal in Rea’s Millersburg office, is particularly in tune with tax changes and the opportunities available to landowners. He joins us on unsuitable to identify the tactics that will help you maximize the value of your land, while minimizing your tax liability.

Getting to Know the CAUV: Current Agricultural Use Value

The CAUV applies to real estate taxes. If you own land that you use for farming commercial agriculture, you may be entitled to a reduced rate for your real estate taxes. So, rather than being taxed for the greatest use of your land, you can be taxed at an agricultural use – and this may end up saving you anywhere from 50-75% on your real estate taxes.

If you want to get the most out of your land, listen to learn:

• Whether your land qualifies for reduced real estate taxes due to agricultural use.
• How to take advantage of potential tax benefits and write offs for landowners.
• What you should consider for estate planning.

Take a moment to think about this question: When was the last time that you showed appreciation toward your employees? If you’re struggling to answer that question, you may have identified a problem that could end up hurting your company in the long-run.

Peggy Minnig, a principal in Rea’s Lima office, believes that an employee who feels appreciated will reward the company with increased productivity, greater employee satisfaction, renewed loyalty, and improved retention.

Appreciation is a Fundamental Human Need

It doesn’t matter if you’re an incredible business owner – without a great team in place to maintain the day-to-day responsibilities of the business, you won’t have a business for very long. And, well… if you don’t show appreciation for your employees, you may not have a great team for very long.

If you want to retain valuable employees and increase productivity, listen and learn:

• Why peer recognition is just as important as manager or principal recognition.
• Why you should praise people immediately, preferably in public, when you see an opportunity to do so.
• How you can remind yourself and others to show appreciation on a regular basis.

Payroll can be confusing. After all, it’s not always as simple as cutting a check for a week’s worth of work. There are a lot of things you have to consider, like how your employees are classified, taxes that need to be withheld, and whether the individuals doing your payroll have up-to-date training.

Heather McNichols, Rea’s Director of Accounting Services, joins us on this episode of unsuitable to help businesses avoid common payroll pitfalls, while offering insight into solutions that will help make your payroll processes a breeze.

America Works: Celebrating National Payroll Week

Every year, the American Payroll Association celebrates National Payroll Week (they even have a song). At Rea & Associates, we like to join them in celebrating America’s 150 million wage earners and the professionals who pay them by making payroll a little bit easier.

If you want to simplify payroll, listen to learn:

• Whether someone should be classified as an employee or a subcontractor.
• How to navigate complex tax withholding rules.
• Why asking for help, as an employee or a business, can save you a lot of time in the short-term (and trouble in the long-term).

Relationships are critical in business, regardless of your industry or what you offer your customers.

Matt Scherer, President of PMA Practice Transitions, a dental practice sales and transition company, spent nearly 17 years with Bank of America before embarking on his current role. While these two careers may appear to be completely separate, they actually have a lot in common.

In this episode of unsuitable, Matt shares his best networking, business development, and referral relationship tips so that you can drive results in your own company.

Networking isn’t a 9-5 Job

Your business relationships don’t pause when you leave the office, and most potential clients or partners are busy during the work day, so a lot of the most important networking and relationship-building you do will happen outside of work.

If you want to make the most of your network and build stronger relationships, you will want to listen and learn...

• Why you should focus on quality over quantity in your network.
• Who to target (and how to track them).
• How to build referrals.
