Welcome to The Bill

Hot off the press is news that Washington Brown has been named the Property Tax Professional of the year 2010 in Your Investment Property Magazine's Readers Choice awards. We're absolutely thrilled. Unlike other industry awards where "experts" are the judges, these awards are voted on by the people who matter most to us, our customers, so thank you.

There is no shortage of news this issue, we will cover off:

• natural disasters and how they affect property depreciation
• new property investment calculator

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions for future articles.

Regards,
