In the Kavarna region well-off people can buy property at a price between 20 thousand and 40 thousand levs. A lot of property and land are becoming desolate because of the decreased interest. 7000 square meters of land with changed statute between Balchik and Kavarna at a price of 3 million euro remains unsold. The biggest interest in seaside resorts in Bulgaria show Russians. The foreigners' enthusiasm for a house in Bulgaria, however, is not as great as before, brokers claim.As a rule foreigners cannot buy land in Bulgaria until 2014.

| Real estate developers to cut commercial rentals by around 10-15 per cent | | 2008-08-13 00:40:00 | | Slow growth in rentals has caused real estate developers to cut commercial rentals by around 10-15 per cent across India. The commercial real estate market across major cities in India saw a slow performance in the second quarter of 2008. Mumbai, the commercial capital, witnessed stagnant rental values, while Delhi saw a strong correction after the IT/ITeS industry, the largest consumers of commercial real estate, deferred their expansion plans on fears of a global meltdown. The total demand for office space during the second quarter of 2008 was 9.74 million sq.ft while the supply was recorded at 18.07 million sq feet. Micro-markets such as Noida in NCR Delhi, Rajiv Gandhi Salai in Chennai have recorded excess supply for this quarter thus increasing overall vacancy rates, Cushman & Wakefield states in its latest report. Relatively smaller areas such as Chakala, Marol and Saki Naka near Andheri in Mumbai, where the outsourcing industry is stationed, rentals have fallen from 175-275 | | By: Best Investments in India | | |

| High inflation, the tie that binds the real estate market | | 2008-08-11 15:33:00 | | According to Nguyen Minh Phong from the Hanoi Socio-Economic Institute, a CPI at 5% provides ideal conditions for the real estate market to operate well. Phong said that high inflation has direct and indirect impacts on real estate investments. First, high inflation makes input expenses higher. Second, high inflation slows down the execution of real estate projects, thus reducing the supply on the market. Third, high inflation makes the capital inflow into the real estate market decrease, while the market needs huge capital sources. Phan Thi Cuc, Chairwoman of the Vietnam Real Estate Club, agrees with Phong, saying that the real estate market developed rapidly last year, but has become quiet as a result of the high inflation rate.

| Real Estate Investing - Follow-Up - The Key To Successful Closings | | 2008-08-11 14:24:04 | | If everyone always did everything they said they’d do, we’d all be a lot richer. Unfortunately, tasks are overlooked, and the ball is often dropped. If you want to have successful closings, you must have strong “follow-up” skills to catch problems early in the process. Follow-up on everyone and everything.We can’t begin to tell you the number of closings that almost fell apart, or would have fallen apart had we not kept a watchful eye on the entire process to make sure that everything was completed when it needed to be. Here’s a typical scenario: you’re wholesaling a house and you have just 30 days to get it closed before the contract with the Seller expires. You find a buyer who can get a loan and close before the expiration. Then a few days before closing you find out that the loan isn’t ready and closing must be delayed two weeks, but the Seller already has another Buyer ready to pay more than your price, so they refuse to extend your contract.

| Investment Real Estate Done Right - Your Quickest and Safest Path to Wealth | | 2008-08-11 14:22:59 | | In investment real estate the quickest way to wealth is through owner financing, or lease optioning. So, let's take a look at one model transaction, involving the purchase and sale of two properties on lease-option contracts so you an apply it to your own investment real estate system.Assume you buy an investment property for $50,000 to $60,000, and you sell it on a lease-option contract for $80,000. You receive $4,000 as a down payment from the buyer, and you will get the remainder of the balance in 12 months. You’ve created a note for the remaining $76,000 that pays you $570 monthly (interest-only payments of 9%). This gives you nearly $7,000 more in interest payments, if you keep this property for a year. You then find a rehab property in an inexpensive neighborhood that you can get for $35,000. You offer a 10% down payment of $3,500, promising to pay of the loan in 13 months or less.Now, you can use the $4,000 from the first property, so you don't have to come up with your own mo | | By: Win money from internet While you Sleep | | |

| Questions to a Beginning Real Estate Investor | | 2008-08-11 14:22:12 | | Real Estate investing is probably one of the most lucrative forms of business, when done properly. If it is not done properly, it can be one of the most detrimental. The main reason that many people fail when trying to invest in real estate is either they do not understand the magnitude of the project or they mismanage the deal before it has the chance to reveal money-making potential.Before beginning to invest, there are a few questions that you must ask yourself. Here are just a few of them:1) What is your credit rating?The number one key in securing a loan from the bank is maintaining a good credit rating over time. This will gage their willingness to take a risk with your new venture.2) How much money do you have in the bank?The extent to which the answer to this question affects your ability to engage in a new venture depends upon whether or not you are going to live in the property you purchase, or if you are going to rent it out completely.

| Achieving Positive Cash Flow from Your Real Estate Investments | | 2008-08-11 14:21:19 | | Even if you’re counting on rising property values to eventually make a profit on an investment property, it’s far more desirable to have a positive cash flow each month. If you’re losing money on a property every month, it may not take long until your future profits will have been lost. Owning investment property is much more enjoyable if you’re making money along the way.Here are a couple of ideas for keeping your investment property cash flow in the black:If you don’t already own your own home, your first goal should be to live in your first "investment" property. Interest rates and down payments are considerably lower for a primary residence, and you won’t have to deal with finding and managing tenants or absorbing the cost of an occasional vacancy.Once you begin looking for your first "official" investment property, you’ll want to concentrate your search for less expensive homes, because they’re generally easier to rent for a profit than higher cost houses.

| Real Estate Hidden Treasures in Fire Damaged Properties | | 2008-08-11 14:19:52 | | To find the best treasures in life, you have to look at what others passed by and have thought was too much work. The more damages, the higher the profits.For the real estate investor, the art is to buy very low, fix up and sell higher to make a profit. To buy low, there is generally a problem with the property. Most properties have visible damages along with aged and worn items that are typical.With properties that have sustained fire damage, most all investors shy away from due to all the many unknowns. With so many investors that are not interested, that means that the competition is mush less.For properties that have suffered light damage, there is the usual cleanup of debris and replacement of visible damaged items such as broken windows.

| Private Money - Discover the New Way to Fund Your Real Estate Deals | | 2008-08-11 14:18:37 | | Private money is money borrowed from private individuals as opposed to using banks or mortgage companies to fund your real estate investment deals. Most real estate investors knock on the door of banks or mortgage lenders to take out a traditional mortgage to buy investment properties. However, as the economy is turning negative and traditional lending sources are drying up, more and more investors need to seek out alternative sources of capital such as private money.So, the secret to look for these sources of private money is to look for those individuals who have the money and may be interested in lending at rates of interest over what they can get with CD's or money markets. Private money lenders are average people who lend money and may include doctors, accountants or other processionals as well as retired individuals. In other words, people who you meet and interact with in your everyday daily life.To find private money for real estate investment, you need to some research.

| Real Estate - The Velocity of Money | | 2008-08-11 14:16:39 | | This lesson is really adapted from Robert Kiyosaki's book, "Who Took My Money?" I strongly encourage investors to read this book. He writes that the Velocity of Money is the one reason why rich get richer and the average investor risks losing it all. I agree. From Robert's book, he writes "As a professional investor, I want to...1. Invest my money into an asset.2. Get my money back.3. Keep control of the asset.4. Move my money into a new asset.5. Get my money back.6. Repeat the process."When I teach my homes buying homes investment strategy, I am teaching Robert's velocity of money concept. I read Robert's book in the summer of 2005. Little known to me, I was already teaching the velocity of money and didn't really realize it. Thankfully, I was already utilizing it with my investing.To give you an example: Let's assume you purchase a nice single-family home for $200,000. To purchase this home, you use a 5-percent down payment loan program and invest approximately $10,000. You use a fix | | By: Win money from internet While you Sleep | | |

| Learn Seven Things You Must Know Before Choosing The Right Waterfront Real Estate Agent | | 2008-08-10 14:36:03 | | You’ve made the decision to buy a waterfront home. Now, it’s time to choose a real estate agent to help you find your perfect home. Many buyers looking for waterfront property rely on the agent to find qualified properties that fit their criteria since these buyers usually live in other states.

Now there is nothing wrong with that and many of these agents are professional. The problem is these agents are generally new and lack the experience that seasoned full-time agents have.

A seasoned full-time career agent has weathered the storms and will possess the tools and contacts to help you find a home that is right for you.

| cam Artists Win Over Real Estate Agents and Real Estate Investors, But Not by Much | | 2008-08-10 14:25:54 | | Scam Artists win over real estate agents and real estate investors, but not by much...Preforeclosure and foreclosed in process homeowners have the cards stacked against them by the banks and lawyers who have a legal and orchestrated plan to repossess their home. And if that were not bad enough, the so called experts seem to come out of the woodwork like little armies of roaches to offer advice and help that is absolutely worthless.Of course their motivation is strictly from a narcissistic view (self greed may be a better word). And the worst part is that they seem to be welcomed with open arms. I felt this same sensation months and months before I got foreclosed on myself.Why is this? Well, the truth is that it is a lack of knowledge and a subconscious fear about what is happening, and what will happen. It is almost like seeing a fired cannon ball coming at you full force and there is nothing you can do to stop it.The more stories you hear, the more negative you feel.

| Real Estate Appraisal Secrets - What HUD and FHA Want From Appraisers in Appraising Real Estate | | 2008-08-10 14:25:24 | | With the fall of the real estate market in the country, here in Los Angeles, we have been hard hit. Business has been slow. Since the Feds introduced the Economic Stimulus Plan and HUD lowered loan limits, business is slowly picking up.In an attempt to diversify into new markets, I applied to be an FHA Roster appraiser. After spending hours on the HUD and FHA websites and real estate industry websites and message boards, I realized that there was scattered information about appraising for FHA. Although the FHA website seems to be catching up with information for appraisers, it was difficult to find out basic information like if the VC form was still used.This month, I attended a seminar sponsored by the National Association of Professional Mortgage Women, an organization that, as it turns out, has many members both male and female whose main focus is to provide education to industry professionals.

| Sure Fire Ways To Make Money On Real Estate... Things Real Estate Agents Won't Tell You... | | 2008-08-10 14:24:28 | | Buying real estate intelligently requires a person to separate the emotional aspect of buying a home from the business aspect required to make money immediately. You can only make money in real estate by purchasing property meeting one or all of the following conditions:1. Purchasing the property significantly below market value (instant equity).2. Purchasing an income producing property like a duplex (income stream).3. Purchasing a fixer-upper property with as little out-of-pocket cash as possible, repairing it and reselling it for more than you paid for it. Or, renting the property at higher rates due to improvements made.Many people make the mistake of buying a property at or very near the appraisal price with hopeful expectation the property will increase in value over time. With average appreciation around 5% per year it’s a slow way to make a buck and obviously a risky proposition to automatically assume a property will increase in value.
