Building a House in Mexico

How to Construct Your Own Cozy Casa

“Outside of the major cities, good rentals are hard to find, and honest landlords are even harder to find. I think owning your own home is more important in Mexico than in the US.” This is one of the reasons a trusted source gives to explain why he designed and built his home in Lerdo, Mexico. Rolly took the expat plunge in 2000, moving from Los Angeles to his newly constructed casa in north central Mexico.

Many Americans dream of a simpler life in the land of flowers and long siestas. But few turn that dream into a reality by building their own home south of the border. If you think about it, though, it is one of the best ways to complete the dream: choosing exactly what you want and working hard to get it.

Building projects in Mexico are not fairy tales waiting to happen. If you want to create your own home, brace yourself for a long road paved with delays, confianza (trust) issues, and cultural surprises. But it is not an impossible task. In fact, since labor and supplies are generally cheaper, you can usually get more for your peso by building, as opposed to buying, a home.

The Perfect LocationWhether you’re a beach bum or prefer the solitude of mountains, you’ll find your niche within Mexico’s borders. While it’s a good idea to check out popular expat gatherings – Baja California, the Lake Chapala region, and San Miguel de Allende,– don’t rule out the areas less tourist-laden. One expat family has lived in Torreón, an industrial city in northern Mexico, for the past forty-five years. While Torreón usually takes up no more than two pages in guidebooks (sometimes beginning with “if you must travel here”) some find it to be the perfect fit.

Generally speaking, people in the south are fairly reserved; those in the north have a reputation of being more engaging (though they are still more reserved than boisterous gringos). Before purchasing land, begin by renting in your desired location. You’ll quickly learn if you feel comfortable in the area and with the people.

Purchasing PropertyForeigners can own land in Mexico. If you find property in the restricted zone (within 50 kilometers of the coast or 100 kilometers of the border), you will need to apply for a fideicomiso. In this trust agreement, a Mexican bank takes title to the property. You, as the owner, will still enjoy virtually all rights, including using, selling, and naming a beneficiary to the land. In the interior of Mexico, you can own property in your own name. To do so, you will need to have an escritura (deed) prepared by a Mexican notary public.

The notary public will play a very active role in the purchase of land. In Mexico, all legal documents must be signed before the notary public to be legitimate. Ask yours to check that all debts and necessary payments have been made on the land. If you are purchasing land from a developer, have the notary public affirm that there are permits for development and construction included. Do not sign anything until you have a clear understanding of what the document says.

In addition, consider the following:Avoid purchasing land labeled as “egido.” This is communal agricultural land and can be a legal headache. It is best to stay away from it.Ask about water, sewer, and electrical connections.

If these are not readily available, it can be very expensive to hook them up.Check into city ordinances. Some areas, such as Cozumel, only allow construction on a certain percentage of the property and issue height limits.Avoid getting wrapped up in “margarita fever” (initial excitement upon seeing the advantages of living in Mexico). Instead, take the steps one at a time. Do plenty of research, ask questions, and stay away from anything that seems suspicious to you. Pacing yourself throughout the process will help you find land you are ultimately satisfied with.

Finding Local WorkersOnce you have land, there are a number of building options. If you are familiar with construction, you may consider heading up the project. If not, and even if you do have plenty of experience, it might be wise to find an architect and building crew.

Whatever you decide, you will hear the term confianza, and if you don’t, you will soon learn its meaning. Finding workers that are “de confianza” (trustworthy) is key. Taking on a building project without good local connections is foolish.

Fortunately, Mexicans are masters at networking. If you rent in an area before building, use the time to build relationships with dependable friends. They will connect you with someone they know, who knows someone else, and so on. This networking system exists because of problems of confianza, and will help you find a reliable architect and workers.

The Need for SupervisionMaintaining a regular presence on the site is essential. Stopping by on a daily basis, or spending all day on location, is not uncommon.

The “sí Señor” syndrome runs rampant on construction sites. Workers tend to avoid telling you “no.” While this may sound ideal (your orders are always followed!), it can quickly turn sour. Even if the architect, plumber or electrician, does not agree with your idea, chances are they will give it a resounding “yes.” They may do so, knowing in advance that your plan is impractical, terribly expensive, or simply not doable.

The attempt to please is highly regarded in Mexico. Unfortunately, the moment may be pleasant, but it will quickly pass. Then the headache of rebuilding a wall or reconstructing cabinets will set in. To avoid this, do ample research yourself. Stay on the site to oversee the progress. And don’t get bogged down if you do have to rework part of the construction; make sure the end result is what you want.

Take it Times Two…and then SomeWhile building projects often run over budget and take longer than expected, you can anticipate even more delays in Mexico. In fact, the waiting and dealing with the inevitable bumps are what drive some away from building here. Plan for delays and pad your budget before starting. It will be easier to tolerate the changes and delays, as well as the complex, and often infuriating, bureaucratic system. Occasional bribes are embedded into this system. They can help speed things up, but use them wisely.

Realistic ExpectationsTour houses before beginning construction on yours. Depending on your workers, your house may not have a “clean cut” finish. Some expats describe completed construction as a shoe that has already been worn in. View it as character; it is what makes a house a home in Mexico.

As an outsider, expect the unexpected. Even with experience and local connections. Your position as a foreigner increases the risk that you will be overcharged. Obviously you will need a grasp of Spanish to reduce costs.

Real Estate in Bariloche, ArgentinaReal Estate in Bariloche, Argentina

Bariloche, Argentina is one of the last frontiers of decently priced properties, within a land of incredible, untouched, protected natural beauty. The views are intoxicating. A raw landscape beckons the outdoor lover and the bustling city located on the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi offers a rich culture and international cuisine.

The area of Bariloche is a true paradise. It is a place like no other in the world because of its serenity and national parks. But what does it truly take for a foreigner to own property in the paradise of South America?

Bariloche is within the Zona de Seguridad or secured zone. It is possible to purchase inside this area, but it is difficult to find much data about the process and there is a lot of misinformation floating around in cyberspace. When my husband and I decided that we wanted to move to Bariloche permanently we felt it was in our best interest to do our own homework. We spent months researching this portion of the buying process before taking the leap into owning. In studying the situation, we found that there are certain aspects to the riddle that help in obtaining clearance.

Owning within the Zona de Seguridad, if not an Argentine citizen, can seem to be a labyrinth of a paperwork and bureaucracy. But with the help of Argentine lawyers, companies involved in the process, and submitting the correct paperwork, it is possible.

The Zona de Seguridad was a law that was created back in the late 1800’s because of government concerns regarding the conflicts between Chile and Argentina. It was set up to protect land within 100 kilometers of the Chilean border, the entire length of the country, or another way to look at it, anything west of Ruta 40.
The Argentineans wanted to be sure that the land lining their borders was not bought up by foreigners, and, thus, creating a security concern. This law gathered dust until the 1990’s, when major real estate tycoons such as Ted Turner and Douglas Tompkins bought extensive plots of land. Once again, the fear of losing important property to foreigners brought this law back to the forefront.

Currently, with the new Cristina Kirchner administration, the entire cabinet has been changed to new blood. Many people involved in submitting the paperwork and dealing with the process believe that this is a good thing. Our lawyer helping us with the process, Escribania Dalessio who is based out of Buenos Aires, feels that this will eventually help the way in which the law is read.
In creating a new Zona de Seguridad cabinet, it is believed that the new department head will be able to help speed up the process, though it is still an unknown at this point. The virtue of patience, which is needed in all facets of life in Argentina, is a true requirement when purchasing within Zona de Seguridad.

The process which can take anywhere from six months to two years, or more, is most easily understood and dealt with by obtaining a professional company to represent the buyer. There are lawyers and notaries that have created a needed business helping foreigners understand what is exactly required to obtain title. For clearance within the Bariloche area the most knowledgeable companies tend to be based out of Buenos Aires.
It is extremely important to do the homework on which company would work best for the particular situation and to have the requisite paperwork in order before traveling to Bariloche. The paper trail needed, such as a police report and bank statements, are much easier to obtain while at home, instead of abroad. Also, it is best to start the process as soon as the property is chosen and the down payment has been paid.

The actual paperwork needed depends on each situation. Large plots of land such as ranches and huge agricultural farms, at this time, are slower to move through the process. This is due to more paperwork being needed and being subject to possible environmental studies. Also, a property that has no plans of being improved is not looked favorable upon. But each case needs to show a few details. For example, paperwork from an architect showing plans of improvement or building on the land, clean police reports, as well as displaying that the property is a possible resource of local jobs, will help in the acceptance The bureaucracy likes to see that the buyer is willing to help stimulate the economy. It is important to have these facts in writing and included in the first submission.

Once the property is decided upon, there are four different routes that the foreigner can take.
They are as follows:

Fideicomiso: Also referred to as a trust, this is considered to be the safest and most popular of the options out there. The fideicomiso is a corporation or business that is created by Argentines. The trust is set up at the time of putting money down on the property. This is not a way for the foreigner to get around the clearance process, but instead is a way to purchase the property, knowing that they will never be denied ownership of the property because the title is held by the Argentine company. That is not to say that the foreigner is not able to try for clearance on their own while the property is in a trust.

There are reputable companies in Argentina that are set up for this purpose alone. With the fideicomiso, the foreigner is able to purchase the property under the company’s name. There is a special power of attorney (a poder) that explicitly confirms that this is the buyer’s property and that the company has no power over the property without said persons consent.
The company, with the owner’s money, is responsible for taxes on the place, as well as paying for any major improvements on the land. In exchange for their services there is a fee, which varies from company to company, but is around US$1500 to US$2000 per year. If the owner of the property decides that they would like to sell the piece before obtaining clearance, they will be subject to the capital gains taxes applicable at the time of sale. Also, any income that may be derived from the property will also be subject to a corporation income tax fee because of being held in a trust.

En Comision: En comision is different than the fideicomiso, in that the buyer has a relationship with an Argentine that they trust. The person purchases the property on the buyer’s behalf, with the buyer’s money. This is all written out in a power of attorney (again, a poder). The poder strictly prohibits the Argentine to sell, rent or do anything with the property. It is also stated that the piece, in case of death of the Argentine native, goes to the foreigner, with this option, the capital gains taxes and corporate income taxes can be avoided. The important point here is that the Argentine is completely trusted, because if clearance is not obtained the property will remain in the name of the said Argentinean. It is extremely important that the buyer move ahead on trying to obtain clearance immediately to show that they are not trying to get around the Zona de Seguridad process.

En Comision #2: The second version of the en comision involves the seller of the property and should only be done if the buyer knows and absolutely trusts the seller. It is the same process as the previously mentioned option. The power of attorney is, basically, the title until clearance is issued. The poder is applicable for ten years. If at the end of ten years an answer has yet to be received, it can be written for another ten years.

Permanent Residence: The fourth option is only applicable to those that plan on living in the country full time and are willing to travel the long road to permanent Argentine residency. According to different companies that we spoke with, after two to five years of permanent residency the buyer of the property is treated as an Argentine citizen. They then go through the regular process that any Argentinean would have to go through to receive clearance.
As stated before, there is a way to work through the bureaucracy madness, if so desired. It just takes patience and an understanding that things do not work the same way as in other countries. When we found our place, with its million dollar view, we knew that we were up to the challenge of jumping through the hoops. For us, it was worth it. Each day that I look out my window and see the sparkling, blue waters of Nahuel Huapi and snow-capped Andes mountains, I know there is no other place on earth where I would rather be.

How to buy stocks, property abroad

Open an overseas account with the click of a mouse, invest in the Nikkei/Hang Seng, buy property in Dubai... Yes, you can do all these and more right from your office at Nariman Point, Safdarjung or even Madhubani.

But with the RBI dangling the spend-the-dollars bait before deep-wallets by increasing the overseas investment limit for individuals from $50,000 to $100,000 (around Rs 40-41 lakh), that row house in Singapore may be easier to buy than a bungalow in Bandra. And to top it all, it means a husband and wife can invest $200,000, while a family of four can invest up to $400,000.

Says Mukesh Dedhia, partner, Ghalla and Bhansali, "The RBI is encouraging investors to buy dollars and invest abroad as it has a surplus of dollars in its coffers now."

So, for starters, how does one actually go about doing it? The process can vary for different banks. To begin with, you will need a bank account abroad. At present, most international banks have their branches in India.

Likewise, Indian banks such as ICICI Bank, SBI and HDFC Bank have a presence abroad. One option would be to approach the Indian banks to open an account in the country where you wish to invest.

Another would be to download the foreign bank's forms and submit them with the relevant documents in its Indian branch. Now that you have an account with which you can invest abroad, let us look at the asset classes where you can do so.

Stocks and fundsShares, mutual funds, and exchange-traded funds - you can invest in all these by opening an account with an international brokerage firm. This should be rather simple, given the fact that most banks have their own brokerage houses or have associations with others.
Also as Kartik Jhaveri, director, Transcend India, says, "For investing in stocks, one could open an account with a brokerage like E*Trade or Ameritrade and buy stocks at certain stock exchanges mainly in the US.

However, as Gaurav Mashruwala, a certified financial planner, puts it, "One should remember that the charges are rather high (currency values make a big difference) so consider investing in mutual funds abroad only if the amount is substantial."

Agrees Jhaveri, "For equities, if there is an amount of over Rs 10 lakh available, it would be worthwhile." Also, the RBI has allowed forward contracts for individuals where one could take advantage of currency fluctuations only allowed for institutions earlier.

CommoditiesYou could invest in commodities as well. As Mashruwala says, "I advise clients to invest in gold or even Australian bonds depending on their financial goals." Adds Dedhia, "A strong rupee implies that traders can buy and sell gold abroad at dollar rates."

Plus, there is realty tooAn address in Dubai or London is definitely desirable, and, more importantly, easier now. Says Anuj Puri, managing director, Trammel Crow Meghraj, " Both investors and end-users are looking at buying property abroad."

There are three regions where property is being bought. These include, South East Asian countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore. In the latter country, except for sea-facing areas, property is priced at almost half the price of Mumbai or Delhi. Then, there is Dubai where Indian developers are getting aggressive and so are buyers.
Lastly, there is Europe and the US where the buying is mostly done by end users. The only devil in the fine print could perhaps be the 'tax' component. India has double taxation avoidance treaties with around 140 countries, which means when you pay tax in those countries, the amount gets credited back home. But different interpretations in some cases mean one could land up paying taxes in both countries.

The Elliott Wave Theory For Forex Markets

One of the best known and least understood theories of technical analysis in forex trading is the Elliot Wave Theory. Developed in the 1920s by Ralph Nelson Elliot as a method of predicting trends in the stock market, the Elliot Wave theory applies fractal mathematics to movements in the market to make predictions based on crowd behavior. In its essence, the Elliot Wave theory states that the market – in this case, the forex market – moves in a series of 5 swings upward and 3 swings back down, repeated perpetually. But if it were that simple, everyone would be making a killing by catching the wave and riding it until just before it crashes on the shore. Obviously, there’s a lot more to it.
One of the things that makes riding the Elliot Wave so tricky is timing – of all the major wave theories, it’s the only one that doesn’t put a time limit on the reactions and rebounds of the market. A single In fact, the theories of fractal mathematics makes it clear that there are multiple waves within waves within waves. Interpreting the data and finding the right curves and crests is a tricky process, which gives rise to the contention that you can put 20 experts on the Elliot Wave theory in one room and they will never reach an agreement on which way a stock – or in this case, a currency – is headed.
Elliot Wave Basics
• Every action is followed by a reaction.It’s a standard rule of physics that applies to the crowd behavior on which the Elliot Wave theory is based. If prices drop, people will buy. When people buy, the demand increases and supply decreases driving prices back up. Nearly every system that uses trend analysis to predict the movements of the currency market is based on determining when those actions will cause reactions that make a trade profitable.
• There are five waves in the direction of the main trend followed by three corrective waves (a "5-3" move).The Elliot Wave theory is that market activity can be predicted as a series of five waves that move in one direction (the trend) followed by three ‘corrective’ waves that move the market back toward its starting point.
And here’s where the theory begins to get truly complex. Like the mirror reflecting a • A 5-3 move completes a cycle. mirror that reflects a mirror that reflects a mirror, the each 5-3 wave is not only complete in itself, it is a superset of a smaller series of waves, and a subset of a larger set of 5-3 waves – the next principle.
• This 5-3 move then becomes two subdivisions of the next higher 5-3 wave.In Elliot Wave notation, the 5 waves that fit the trend are labeled 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (impulses). The three correcting waves are called a, b and c (corrections). Each of these waves is made up of a 5-3 series of waves, and each of those is made up of a 5-3 series of waves. The 5-3 cycle that you’re studying is an impulse and correction in the next ascending 5-3 series.

Learn Forex - Is Forex Trading The Ultimate Home Business Opportunity ?

That's true, you can be a trader at home. Forex, or Foreign Exchange Market is by far the largest financial market in the world. About $2 trillion are traded EVERY DAY. The Forex market is the currency market, where a currency is traded against another. Quick example : you buy a dollar and sell euros. Not that easy to understand. But can we do this from home ? Yes, we can. About ten years ago, you would need millions of dollars to start trading. Now you can start with a few hundreds of dollars.

What you need is your computer and an internet connexion. You can trade from the comfort of your home, without having to deal with any boss or clients. You will only deal with money. Then you can start selling dollars and buying euros and make a profit. You have to find a broker, where you will open an account and funding it. You will also have the possibility to get a demo account and practice, with fake money but in the real time market. I strongly recommend you practice a few months before thinking of "live" trading.

It is not that easy, it is extremely risky if you don't know anything about trading. First rule : don't invest what you can't afford to lose. Forex is not a game, there is a lot of parameters to take in account, and human factor is one of the most important in this business.
You may have already understood it, currencies are traded by pairs. The european Euro versus the US Dollar, The US Dollar versus the Japan Yen, etc. When you buy a currency, you want to sell it later at a higher price. When you sell a currency, you want to buy it later at a lower price. This is how you make profit. Think like you were buying a foreign company share. You always want to buy low, and always want to sell high.

What you are looking to when trading currencies is the exchange rate. This will tell you your next move. Buy or sell. Currencies are part of the economy of each countries. When the value of a currency is increasing, this means the economy is going better as before. The exchange rate can be viewed as the country's economy compared to another economy. This is why economic factors can help you to predict your next move. If you know that a currency will increase, you will buy it and expect to sell it at a higher price, a higher rate.

You can choose the pair you want to trade, but the most people trade the main currencies, Euro, Dollar, British Pound, Japan Yen. And you can only choose to trade one pair only if you want. You are the only person that will make the decision. Hope you are making the good ones, profit can be huge, as well as losses.
Like any business, forex trading has to be taken seriously. Lots of people are trading the forex and some are earning thousands of dollars every day. But it needs a lot of training, education and analysis before reaching such results. It can be the perfect business and actually it is for advanced traders.

Real Estate Investing Strategies

Investing in real estate market carries risk. The reason for this risk statement is that, it carries fluctuation. Investing in the real estate market without having adequate knowledge involves high risk. With initial investment, a realtor can get succeeded in real estate investing by finding more profit and wealth
augmenting business. The influence of market trend has been carried forward towards the real estate investment. A knowledge investor can obtain profit from the real estate market in despite of the fluctuations. Fluctuation can be classified in many terms. The fluctuations can be called as hot versus flat, rising versus falling and buyer versus seller. A Knowledged real estate investor will have to use a right strategy to make profit in the fluctuation. Comparable to the stock market, real estate investment does not find rapid fall in the investment. This is the main factor of real estate investing. To make the real estate venture more profitable some basic strategies should be used.

Study the local market:

Study of local market is the important factor, because local market study is the indicator of the national or international market. The local, national and international trends always have a good influence on each other. The experienced and professionalized real estate investor will always guide you for more information regarding the real estate investment market. This information will highly help you while making a decision on any profitable venture. The main function of the realtor is to be up to date with the real estate investment. Proper organization on the real estate market will give a clear view on investment.

Economies financial structure:

Economy or finance plays the major role in determining the value of the property. Because when economy comes down then the value of the property also comes down. While economy is high then the value of the property will be top listed. When number of properties has been offered in the real estate market for good price, then it is a good indicator for the changes in the market trend. If property listed in the market becomes low, then prices increases due to the demand of property. This price increase is more profitable for the sellers because they enjoy more income from the property. But the buyer finds difficult because they have to pay more consideration for the property. Price fluctuation occurs depending upon the season. So, this listing finds a good fluctuation depending upon the changing trend in the economy.



Fluctuation:

Real estate investor should be up to date with the real estate market. The real estate investor must know that within a few time the market may change with an extraordinary deals or transactions. When the real estate market finds destruction in the price of the property then the value of the property may come down. Due to this fluctuation the sellers or buyer may enjoy with the market. In some case the prices of the property may falls down in the market, in such a situation the buyer finds the venture more profitable. Sometimes the prices may increase due to demand of real property, in such a situation the seller finds more profitable with the market. So, there are alternative for both the seller and buyer to enjoy in the market. Therefore every real estate investor finds his real estate investment more profitable.

Property decision:

The main factor of the real estate investor is to be careful while making a decision in purchase or sale of property. The investor should analyze the property before he/she decided to purchase the property. The realtor should be up to date with the market trend and he should know the changes in the prices of the property. Property decision should be taken after proper analyzation and absorption of the market. In case of appreciation or depreciation of the value of the property the prices should be paid properly.

Uncertainty:

Real estate markets have changes at any time, since changes are uncertain. The changes may occur due to rising interest rate, tax rate, demand and supply, depreciation or appreciation in the value of the property and standard of living of people with unemployment will surely determine the value of the property. These are the main factors that determines the value of the property or changes in the market trend. After these changes the real estate investment market may have development or diminishment. Therefore a knowledged investor should find solution for the problem faced by the real estate market against any losses.

A good real estate investor should plan the strategy for purchase or sale in the real estate market. He should not make guesses in the real estate business. He should have to take decision and then only he should generate. Real estate markets are not ideal in nature. They get changes at any time in the property market. The investor should have ability to adopt the situation and change accordingly to make his venture more profitable.

Start Real Estate Investing

This article covers six dynamite real estate investing tips intended to help anyone just getting started in real estate investing to successfully launch and hit the ground running with real estate investment property.

1. Develop the Correct Attitude

To stand a chance of succeeding at real estate investing, foremost, you must understand that real estate investment is a business, and you will become the CEO of that business.

As your first order of business, then, it's crucial to develop the correct mind-set about investment real estate and be able to make this distinction between buying a home and investing in real estate:

"You buy a home to live and raise a family; you buy real estate investment property to pay for the home, live comfortably, and raise your family in style"

As one very successful real estate investor said, "Only women are beautiful, what are the numbers?" In other words, you will not succeed at real estate investing until you acknowledge that it's not curb appeal, amenities, floor plan, or neighborhood that should turn you on or off to the investment opportunity; what counts most is the property's financial performance.

2. Develop Meaningful Objectives

A meaningful set of (realistic) objectives that frames your investment strategy is one of the most important elements of successful investing. Yes, we may all desire to make millions of dollars from real estate investing, but fantasy is not the same as expressing specific goals and a method on how to achieve it.

Here are some suggestions:

How much cash are you willing to invest comfortably? What rate of return are you hoping to achieve by making the investment in real estate? Are you expecting instant cash flow, looking to make your money when the property is resold, or merely looking to achieve tax shelter benefits? How long are you planning to hold the property before you dispose of it? What amount of your own effort can you afford to contribute to the day-to-day operation of running the property? What net worth are you hoping investing will help you to achieve, and by when would you like to achieve it? What type of income property do you feel most comfortable owning, residential or commercial, or does it matter?

3. Develop Market Research

If you're new to real estate investing, you undoubtedly know little about investment real estate in your local market. So, do market research to learn as much as you can about income property values, rents, and occupancy rates in your area. The better prepared you are, the more likely you are to recognize a good (or bad) deal when you see it.

Here are some good resources:

(a) The local newspaper, (b) A local appraiser, (c) The county tax assessor, (d) A qualified local real estate professional, (e) A local property management company

4. Run the Numbers

I can't stress enough the importance of running the property's cash flow, rates of return, and profitability numbers. Remember, real estate investing is a business, and as the CEO of your investment enterprise, you've got to know what you're buying, especially if you're trying to determine which of several investment opportunities would be the most profitable.

You have two options:

(a) Invest in real estate investment software. This will enable you to discover for yourself the investment property's cash flow and rates of return, and create your own analysis reports. Plus, by running the numbers yourself, you gain a broader understanding of real estate investing nuances, and in turn might be less likely to fall victim to the wiles of someone with little concern about how you spend your money.

(b) At the very least, work with a real estate professional that has invested in real estate investment software and can calculate, present, and discuss the property's financial data with you.

5. Develop a Relationship with a Qualified Real Estate Professional

Working with a qualified real estate professional is a great way for beginners to get started with rental property investing because an astute professional can acquaint you with local market conditions, recommend a property that meets your investing objectives, and discuss strengths and weaknesses about specific property performance.

Here's a warning, however: Work with a real estate person who understands investment real estate.

Be sure the agent has a firm grip on key financial measures inherent to real estate investing, knows how to measure profitability and rate of return, has the ability to present the data you need to make wise investment decisions, and, most importantly, shows a genuine interest in how you spend your money. The last thing you want to do is to get involved with a real estate agent that would throw you under the bus just to make a commission.

Here's a good way to interview for an agent. Ask them for the property's cap rate and then request an APOD. If their response (even to these basics) is to stand there looking at you like a deer into the headlights of a car, find another agent.

6. Start Investing

Hopefully, this has given you some insight into real estate investing, highlighted a few things to make you a more prudent real estate investor, and perhaps alerted you to a couple of things that should be avoided.

Okay, that does it for us, now it's time for you to get started. Here's to your success.

Real Estate Investment Trust

Over the last several years, real estate has been as hot as any other investment. It wasn't until recently that real estate cooled a bit. During this time, we've all heard the stories of the easy money made investing in real estate. When money was easy, and there was no end in sight to the real estate boom, people were flipping houses like crazy. For many of these individuals, the 1031 exchange money could not be any easier. However, the times have changed. The downturn has taught even the most bullish real estate speculators that real estate can also go down in value. More than ever, investing in real estate, takes professional know-how, time, and resources to successfully invest in real estate. So, how does the average person invest in real estate, this day and age?

Well, there is a way, and it's been around for quite some time. It's called a Real Estate Investment Trust, or REIT. A Real Estate Investment Trust is a way for the small investor to invest in big real estate. A Real Estate Investment Trust is an organization that is set up to manage and invest in real estate professionally. You can purchase a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) via the stock exchange in the form of a stock, or privately. Private Real Estate Investment Trusts typically require that certain suitability criteria be met. Also, private REITs are typically longer-term investments, with liquidity considerations. Public Real Estate Investment Trusts can be bought and sold on the stock exchange and are considerably more liquid than their private counterparts.

Investing in a Real Estate Investment Trust can come in many forms. You can purchase a Real Estate Investment Trust that focuses on large-scale commercial real estate, for example. This would allow you to take part in major real estate deals involving 100 plus story buildings, that would otherwise be available to the ultra rich. Some Real Estate Investment Trusts may have their focus in apartment buildings or even new housing construction. The point here is that you can choose your Real Estate Investment Trust sector through one of these REITs. If you want a more professionally managed approach there are a large number of REITs actively managed through the purchase of mutual funds. This can provide for diversification, and individual real estate sectors.

Properly set up Real Estate Investment Trusts are tax-advantaged. This means that they are not taxed at the corporate level. However, they must be set up properly. It is required that REITs invest 75% of their funds in real estate. These requirements are met by income derived from mortgage or rent interest. Essentially, you're relying on other parties for their expertise in the real estate arena. Going at it alone is tougher than ever these days. You have the typical headaches, like qualifying for a 1031 exchange, property taxes, escrow, title insurance, and so on. But, that's really the easy part. When the real estate market only went up, the biggest worry for speculators was how to take advantage of a 1031 exchange and save on capital gains. Now, there's much more to worry about, as real estate not only goes up, but it can certainly come down.

It's important to keep in mind that Real Estate Investment Trusts also come with inherent risks. If real estate values plummet, and you have a large percentage of your assets exposed to Real Estate Investment Trusts you may experience declines, as well. This is where diversification is very important. The standard Real Estate Investment Trust me diversify you within different types of real estate, but you should always practice further diversification. Investing in different asset classes, sectors, and the life will provide you with further diversification. Make sure to work with a qualified investment advisor or do your due diligence when investing in any type of Real Estate Investment Trust.

Currency Trading Pairs

If you plan to go into forex, one of the most important points you need to understand is how currency trading pairs work. Although you are free to experiment and sift through other currencies where you can possibly make a profit, pairs in currency trading are the basics where you will base your trading plans from. If you are new in the field of currency trading, you should definitely consider being an expert with the currency pairs before you explore other fields.

In forex, currency pairs work by relating their values against each other. Each pair is composed of a base currency and a quote currency. The base currency is the first among the pair which is the target currency that you wanted to buy. Meanwhile, the quote currency is the second among the pair which tells you how much of it do you need to buy the base currency or the first one. Using the USD to Euro conversion, a quote presented as USD/Euro=.067 simply means that you will need 0.067 Euros to be able to purchase one US dollar.

Working with Currency Trading Pairs

To be able to plot out your plan in the forex business, you will constantly need to consult your own currency pairs. Among the most popular trading pairs are the combinations of US dollars and Euros, US dollars and Japanese Yen, US Dollars and Swiss Franc. Most of the forex traders use US dollars as their quote currency since it is the most widely used currency in the world. The Euro, Swiss Franc, and the Japanese Yen are among the highest yielding and also most volatile base currencies in the trading game.

As a forex trader, it is your responsibility to keep track of currencies individually. In reality there really are no hard and fast rules about currency pairs. You are the one who gets to ultimately decide which of these pairs you plan to keep an eye on and develop. But it helps to have a separate track of these currencies individually so that if a raise occurs in each of them, you can easily form your pairs and make a sell or buy them at the soonest possible time. The thing about currency pairs is that they may not last as long as you would like them to. Sometimes, you need to make quick pair ups to keep ahead of the game.

Choosing the Best Currency Trading Pairs

As mentioned, there are actually no limits to which currencies must be paired against each other. What it takes is a watchful eye and keen observation to make sure that you have the right combination to trade in the currency market. But if you are a newbie and you are still trying to gain your momentum in the currency market, it will be good to stick with major currencies, such as dollars and euros, as your quote currency.

Although these currencies fluctuate as much as the others, they are also the more frequently used. These currencies will help you develop your own style when it comes to scouting the currency trading game since they are widely used. It is also a good idea to keep only two pairs at a time and gradually increase as you gain more confidence in buying and selling your existing currencies.

Currency Trading Success

You bet big when the odds are in your favor and fold when there not it really is that simple and it will make you a lot of money, if you do it correctly.

Accept that you have to have confidence in what you are doing (which comes from self education and knowledge of your personality) this then gives you the discipline to follow your currency trading system.
Of course - If you can't follow your currency trading system with discipline, you have no system in the first place!

Markets can be frustrating and you have to wait for the right opportunities but you can win, if you get learn currency trading the right way.

Now lets look at your method for currency trading success.

3. Your Currency Trading System

Building a trading system should be based on the following points and if you work smart and get the right knowledge, it should only take you a couple of weeks to master the basics and have a robust forex trading system that can get the odds on your side.

1. Use a long term trend following system

2. Learn about support and resistance and the timeless method of breakouts - if you don't know what they are read our other material.

3. Confirm any trading signal you execute with momentum oscillators, this is the key to getting the odds on your side, if you don't trade with momentum your not trading the odds.

4. Employ a money management system that ensures you have clearly defined get out area when you enter a trade for both losses and profits

Also you need to:

Simple systems are easy to understand, apply and are more robust than complicated ones. If your trading system has to many indicators and it will break in the brutal world of trading and in currency trading less is more just a few is enough.

You can win with a simple system based upon support, resistance and just a few momentum indicators and this is very quick to build and test.

5. Getting Success

Don't work hard at trading! Work smart and only learn the right forex education.

There is plenty of rubbish sold on the net. For example, most novice traders love day trading yet its guaranteed to lose you money or trust scientific systems that are as accurate as your horoscope.

These traders are naive lazy or both - don't join them or you will lose.

Once you have built your currency trading system, don't do any more work on it. Many traders bang on about learning all the time - but if you are happy with your trading system and the logic is sound, there is no need to do more work.

You don't get paid for effort in forex trading you get paid for being right and that does not involve hard work!

It should only take you 30 minutes or so to execute your trading signals per day and that's it - get on with your life.

If you follow the above four simple steps you can enjoy currency trading success. You will get the right forex education you need, have the confidence and discipline to apply your forex trading strategy for big gains.

Most traders fail not because they lack a method, but because they lack the mindset to apply it with confidence and discipline and this point cannot be stressed enough. If you want to learn to trade successfully, keep the above points in mind and they will lead you to currency trading success.

Electronic Currency Trading

Electronic currency trading has bought the vast potential of this market to anyone with an internet connection and a computer and some small seed capital. Here we will look at how anyone can learn to trade currencies
and enjoy success if they follow some basic guidelines.

The first point to make is that over 95% of traders who try electronic currency trading lose their money and the reason is they either get the wrong education or do not have the mindset for success. So what do you have to do to be successful?

First let's take a look at the advantages trading currency online gives you and here are just a few.

- Anyone can learn currency trading
and succeed - no special education is required

- You only need an internet connection and some seed capital

- You can trade for big profit opportunities every day

- There is never a recession, as one currency rises another must fall and vice versa

- You can trade in around 30 minutes a day or less

- You can leverage your investment by 200:1 or more!

As you can see there are many advantages of currency trading but you need to know how to use them and use them wisely especially leverage. Leverage is the key to big gains but it also wipes out more trading accounts than any other factor.

Leverage is simply the ability to invest more than you have in your trading account. If you have $500.00 in your account and leverage by 200:1, you have the potential to trade $100,000!

Be Careful With Leverage

The reason most traders lose is they don't understand how to use leverage. While 200:1 is tempting to use, on small accounts it leads to a swift wipe out of equity. If you have a small account 20:1 is plenty to use.

Be Patient

The other point to keep in mind with electronic currency trading is that while there are opportunities to trade each day, you only want to trade highs odds trades and this means being patient and trading infrequently.

Another reason novice traders lose is they simply trade too much and trade low odds scenarios.

If you want to make money at electronic currency trading, trade high odds set ups and they come around only every few weeks but remember you don't get rewarded for trading often, you get rewarded for being right.

I know traders who trade less than 20 times a year yet make triple digit gains and you can to!

Discipline is the Key

The key to currency trading profits is to have a robust simple currency trading system you have confidence in and can apply with discipline.

You must be able to apply your system with discipline through losing periods, until you hit a home run (which you will if your system is based on sound logic), in currency trading you have to lose to win and not lose discipline.

The Road to Currency Trading Success

Currency trading looks easy but of course appearances can be deceptive and while anyone can learn to trade currencies, you need to get the right forex education and mindset and apply your trading system with confidence and discipline.

Electronic currency trading, if you prepare yourself correctly can be the gateway to a lucrative second or even a life changing income. Its exciting, its fun and if you put in a bit of effort, you can enjoy currency trading success.

Money orders and transfers have taken a backseat for Online Money transfers, Card and mobile banking.

The 80s and 90s saw a whole lot of Global Banks like Standard Chartered, Barclays, Grindlays opening their banks up in India. Still banking didn’t seem to be convenient. The modus of transaction was pretty gloomy and boring with people having to wait their turns to visit the teller’s counter to complete their transactions.

Online Banking ensures that a person is tuned completely with his finances at any given point from any part of the world. Ditto for mobile banking.

Bank Business Loan

It is a fact that at one point in time or another nearly all entrepreneurs need a bank business loan, either to start up the enterprise, expend it, or to bridge difficult times when the consumer turns fickle. Of the many lenders and types of loans available, a bank business loan will probably be the best bet for starting the venture. A bank business loan is often the best way to establish and maintain your venture's credit rating, if it is fastidiously repaid.

But, if you are experiencing financial problems, is a bank business loan a good idea to use to get current on the debts? Just what is a bank business loan and what is the application procedure? A bank business loan is an unsecured loan that does not require collateral of any kind. It is based entirely upon the credit rating of all of the involved partners; the prospectus or the plan that was developed that outlines the venture, including both the financial liabilities and the anticipated income. You will have to provide well-organized and scrupulous detail, together with a good credit rating for this type of loan. A bank business loan is the primary vehicle for starting up an enterprise and gets a venture off to a good start, however it is a poor remedy for existing financial problems.

It is far better to obtain professional advice on how to deal with your financial problems. The first thing that a qualified business debt consultant will want to know is the type of loans and financial obligations make up the entire situation. If you have unsecured debts, especially a bank business loan, there is quite a bit the consultant can do to make things easier for you to repay your business debt, continue running your venture and even improve your credit rating. One solution that may be proposed is business debt consolidation, which consolidates all of the financial obligations into one account that requires just one affordable payment per month. This has been worked out by the consultant together with all of the creditors who have agreed to accept a reduced payment that is based upon a lowered interest rate.

If the financial obligation is more problematic and either represents a large amount, or has become delinquent, the consultant may recommend business debt settlement. This form of financial relief is aimed only at unsecured loans such as a bank business loan and business debt settlement can be effected in a couple of days.

With either remedy the credit rating will begin to improve almost immediately. When creditors see that a professional business debt reorganization program is being worked out, the business credit rating reflects their approval. However, it is always best to seek help before any real damage is done and to anticipate a remedy before it is actually required. With the advice of a good business debt consultant, any venture can stay on track without taking out additional bank business loans.

Best Entry Level Finance Jobs

In the financial job market, there are many obstacles for graduates seeking to rise quickly in their professional lives. Financial organisations, ranging from banks to international stock-brokers, adopt high standards for their middle and upper management professionals. Indeed, the delicacy of the marketplace and the attitudes of individual clients towards their financial situation requires a high level of experience and good aptitude for a management position. The financial graduate who is just leaving university to find a job, however, can accelerate the process of rising quickly in the field of finance by choosing the right entry-level finance job.

The first consideration for professionals looking for entry-level finance jobs is their short term goals. If a graduate is concerned with making a good salary immediately, working with an international company or a larger bank may be the wisest move. However, those who want to build experience and rise through the ranks may wish to consider smaller organisations, such as financial planning firms, where there is more contact between executives, managers, and entry-level workers. This is an important consideration, as it can set you off on the right or wrong foot immediately.

Another important thought on entry-level finance jobs concerns the amount of upward mobility available for exceptional finance graduates. The graduate, who works for an international bank, can certainly rise to prominence within the company and the industry in general. Indeed, there is plenty of opportunity for such a professional to rise to local, regional, national, and international positions. For the graduate who works with a smaller company, mobility may be more difficult because of the relatively fewer positions between president and entry-level worker.

A third consideration on entry-level finance jobs is the nature of the job that a graduate accepts. Indeed, the chances of rising through the ranks decrease if a professional doesn’t enjoy their job and bring the same level of effort day in and day out. A professional who wants to help people directly may wish to work as a financial planner or advisor and rise to departmental management after years of commitment to client success. Another professional that thinks of finance in terms of larger companies, or even governments, may desire to make their way as a stockbroker or corporate financial professional, rising through the ranks by networking with prominent clients. All these considerations are important when thinking of the best entry-level finance job for a particular graduate.

Bridging Finance

Traditionally Bridging Finance, or Bridging Loan as it is also known, has been used to 'bridge' the financial gap between the sale of one property and the purchase of another. Allowing borrowers to purchase the second property before selling their existing property.

Numerous other uses for Bridging Finance include -

Allowing Buy to Let investors achieve a discount for a faster completion
Auction purchases, where funds are required quickly to complete the purchase
Entrepreneurs requiring a quick injection of cash to fund a new business opportunity
Property developers, utilizing the speed of Bridging loan to quickly buy and sell on a property

Fast Cash When You Need It Most

The traditional mortgage application route is well known for the snails pace at which it can sometimes operate. At the speed we live in today's postmodern age this can be a very frustrating state of affairs.

The property market has numerous opportunities but many can be left on the shelf. Either through the chain collapsing or the lender not having funds in place quickly enough. To add to this a discount on a property is a definite possibility if funding can be arranged quickly enough. Bridging Finance is a fast and easy solution to all these headaches.

But why is this? It's very simple. Bridging Finance tends to be 'Non-Status'. Lenders consider the type and quality of the property as security as a measure of the lending possibility.

Unlike traditional lending bridging underwriters are generally looking at minimum lending terms of between 3 months, 6 months or 12 months. But some lenders are even more flexible in this regard and will lend with no minimum period on the loan. Lending is available at up to 75% LTV (Loan-To-Value), in some cases 85% LTV may be available. Apart from credit checks, the non-status factor is the same as mainstream non-status lending. The benefit is that the decision to lend is very much faster.

A Short Term Solution

Bridging Finance can bridge a financial gap. But it should never really be considered a permanent solution. A more permanent solution in the form of a regular mortgage should be considered if the property is to be held on to long-term. Or in the case of a more speculative investment the borrower will sell the property to make a quick profit.

Bridging Finance is flexible in another way. In terms of the redemption date it can set as both 'open' with no definite end to the loan, or 'closed' with a set redemption date. It is advisable to only use the open variety when you are confident of the sale of a property or the replacing of the loan with a more long-term finance solution.

Bridging Finance remains the fastest and most appropriate loan type for making a property purchase quickly.
