Miguel and Sofia Arroyo are married and live at 13071 Sterling Drive, Marquette, MI 49866.

Name | Social Security | Date of Birth |
Miguel Arroyo | 112-11-1111 | 06/06/1978 |
Sofia Arroyo | 123-45-1678 | 08/14/1979 |
One of the assets that Sofia inherited with the transfer of her father's estate was his house. Upon the advice of the financial consultant who shares office space with Miguel, the Arroyos decided to convert Raul’s home into a furnished rental house. After several minor repairs (e.g., touching up the paint on the interior walls, replacing various window screens, pressure washing the brick exterior, etc.), the property was advertised for rent in the classified section of the local newspaper on March 1, 2021. The repairs cost $720, and the newspaper ad was $360. Based on reconstructed records and appraisal estimates, information about the property is as follows:
Asset | Original Cost | FMV, Jan. 8, 2021 |
House | $40,000 | $220,000 |
Land | 10,000 | 50,000 |
Furniture and appliances | 21,000 | 14,000 |
Raul’s former residence was rented almost immediately, with occupancy commencing April 1, 2021, under the following terms: one-year lease, $2,400 per month due the first day of the month, first and last months’ rent in advance, $2,000 damage deposit, lawn care included but not utilities. The tenant complied with all terms except that she didn’t pay the December rent until January 1, 2022, because she was traveling internationally from Thanksgiving Day through New Year’s Eve.
Expenses in connection with the property were as follows: property taxes, $2,600; repairs, $320; lawn maintenance, $540; insurance, $1,800; and street paving assessment, $2,100. The property is located at 12120 Lake Road, Harvey, MI 49855.
Assume 365 fair rental days.
