Resort Real Estate and the Recession

Resort Real Estate and the Recession

Home to the Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper Mountain, and Arapahoe Basin, ski areas; Summit County Colorado is one of the world's premier ski and summer resort destinations.

And the Summit County Colorado Real Estate market is feeling the full force of the recession. In fact, market data shows that the market decline began about the same time that Bear Sterns collapsed. Prior to that time, Summit County had been fairly immune to the problems facing much of the rest of the real estate industry throughout the US. There are many reasons for this, among them:

•Compared to the rest of the country, Summit County has a fairly low percentage of sub-prime borrowers and the loan defaults that plagued other markets was not much of a factor in Summit County.
•Summit County did not experience the speculative bubble that occurred in some other markets. Being a four sessions destination resort market, most Summit County real estate Buyers purchase for the purpose of personal use and/or tourist rental income, not with the intent to sell in the short term.
•In the absence of the speculative bubble, and being surrounded by mountains and National Forest, over development in Summit County did not take off as it did in other markets.
Of course, there are counter-examples to each of the above points which are included only as a comparison to other markets and to give a general overview of the real estate market in Summit County leading into the first quarter of 2008. To a large extent, the Summit County real estate market had been, and continues to be, defined by the overall US economy and not necessarily the trends within the real estate industry as a whole.

And with the exception of a hand full of talking heads and Wall Street bail-out recipients, most of the rest of us know that the economy is not doing well.

The recession has resulted in a decline of Summit County real estate sales prices, number of sales, and overall sales volume. Meanwhile new listings continue to come on the market resulting in an abundance of inventory.

One of the hardest hit sectors of the Summit County real estate market has been vacant land. To investigate this further, the following will examine the five lots that sold in Breckenridge Colorado during 2009 in the $400,000 to $500,000 price range:

1.The first was a resale of a lot in the Highlands at Breckenridge for $403,000 on 08/14/09. In this case, the Seller had paid $550,000 for the land on 05/31/07 when the market was it its peak.
2.The second was a sale by the developer of Western Sky Ranch in Breckenridge of a 4.98 acre lot for $499,000 on 09/22/09. Being a developer sale, there is no previous sales information for this property. But, the closest comparable sale within Western Sky Ranch for the adjoining lot of 3.58 acres which sold for $725,000 on 01/04/08, also prior to the market contraction.
3.The third was another resale in the Highlands at Breckenridge on 11/03/2009 for $465,000 which was originally listed for $599,000 on 06/16/2009. The Seller of this property purchased it in 1996 for $165,000.
4.The fourth was a sale in the Warriors Preserve subdivision which was originally listed for $595,000 on 01/03/2008 and which sold for $415,000 on 12/11/2009. The Seller's purchase information is not available.
5.The fifth was a lot in the Warrior's Mark West subdivision for $420,000 which was originally listed for $550,000 on 06/16/2009. Once again, The Seller's purchase information is not available.
As of this writing, there are 27 lots listed in Breckenridge Colorado in the $400,000 to $500,000 price range. This means that there is currently more than a 5 year inventory based on 2009 sales volume. And most new land listing come on the market in the spring and summer.

Five sales in a narrow price range do not define the entire Breckenridge real estate market for vacant land. Breckenridge does not define Summit County as a whole. And the market for vacant land does not directly translate to that of residential property. But the most generalized Summit County Colorado market data also shows inventory up, transactions down, and prices reflecting these facts.

There are also some positive signs for what the future of the Summit County real estate market may hold:

•In anticipation of inflation, money is moving toward hard assets. The recent record high prices of gold reflect this. Real estate is also a historic hedge against inflation and the discrepancy between the price of gold and the price of real estate is near the highest in US history. In other words, it now takes fewer ounces of gold to buy an average home than almost ever before. And with bullion and numismatic gold becoming increasingly difficult to find, and the inventory of available real estate on the rise, how long can this trend last?
•Colorado is one of the states projected to be the least impacted by the recession. Unemployment in Colorado is lower than the national average, personal income is higher, and the Colorado economy has significant high-tech, natural resource, and alternative energy sectors.
•Bloomberg recently reported that Vail Resorts Inc., which owns both Breckenridge and Keystone, is projecting skier visits and overall bookings to be up this ski season over last and one component of the Summit County real estate market is rental income generated from renting homes and condos to tourists.
With inventory up and prices and interest rates down, this may be the ideal time to invest in Summit County real estate. For more information, contact Ted Amenta - Summit County real estate agent.

What Looked Great in 2007 Pales by 2010 for Bulgaria Real Estate

What Looked Great in 2007 Pales by 2010 for Bulgaria Real Estate

The anticipation leading up to the entry of Bulgaria into the European Union in 2007, and the actual event, led to speculation by global real estate investors that Bulgaria would be a market producing excellent investment yields for years into the future. Bulgaria real estate markets thrived between 2003 and 2007. Well, the future is here, and things didn't quite work out as planned. Kicking in at about the same time, the global financial crisis painted a decidedly different picture for real estate markets in Bulgaria.
Real estate and financial services, along with construction, generated approximately 55% of Bulgaria's gross domestic product in 2006 and 2007. These sectors were substantial contributors to the country's annual economic growth of 6% during that period. With global financial problems came a dramatic slowdown in these sectors, which some analysts predict will not show improvement until 2011.

A significant contributor to the problems beginning in 2008 was a large drop in foreign investment interest in Bulgarian real estate. A large part of the interest in the 2003 to 2007 period was from foreign investors, and the global financial meltdown simply dried up that interest throughout 2008 and 2009. While some market watchers believe that the residential market is beginning to stabilize, anticipation is high in regards to early spring interest in the coastal markets. There may be some indication already of vacation pre-sales for coastal areas. A good year for vacation property sales could signal a turnaround for Bulgaria's real estate markets.

Properties in Sunny Beach, Varna, and other Black Sea coastal towns have been hard hit in the last two years. Foreclosure rates have been high, with valuation and financing becoming difficult. Some investors are being required to provide full cash payment within seven days of their initial deposits. Of course, in the worst of markets there is opportunity for the hard-negotiating investor. This could be a factor in a recent report from UK-based Property Abroad. The report, Property Abroad ? Top 10 Most Popular Countries for Last Year, ranks Bulgaria 9th among the top ten destinations for worldwide foreign investors. From that report: ?Bulgaria in 9th [place] is definitely a surprise, [?] given the collapse in demand from foreign buyers in 2009. This reflects the emergence of increased investor activity in the latter part of the year, and the focus on cheap property throughout 2009.?

The "darkest before dawn" outlook may just be the case for Bulgaria. Investors worldwide are watching, and beginning to actively investigate the Bulgaria real estate market again.

How to Research Your Commercial Property Acquisition

How to Research Your Commercial Property Acquisition

The more you can learn about property types and options, mortgages, financing, zoning and remodeling; the better position you'll be in to make wise decisions concerning the acquisition of a commercial property.
However, you don't have to know everything. That's where putting together a powerful team of professionals proficient in their areas of expertise may be your most important step. Building a team of advisors - people you can trust to steer you in the right direction is critical to your success.

Still, there is a lot of research you can do on your own to make sure you are considering the right locations and the best financial options available.

Understand Current Market Conditions Keep your eyes open for news articles pertaining to the commercial real estate market. Is it "hot" right now? Is it a buyers' or sellers' market? What kinds of interest rates are available?

However, one word of caution: Make sure you hear both sides of the story. The more information you have, the better decision you can make. In other words, for every self-proclaimed expert that shouts it's a buyers or sellers market, there will be another one proclaiming the opposite. The trick is to educate yourself and find a specialist such as a commercial lender that you trust to guide you to make the right choices for you.

The Internet is a great place to start. Conducting a Google search for "commercial real estate market," for instance, will give you results that include news and resources for national trends, analytics and market research. In fact, a Google search we conducted for the words "commercial real estate market" resulted in a host of informative sites including:

* Commercial Real Estate Directory * Commercial Real Estate Performance Information and Analysis * Commercial Real Estate Market Research

In addition, many realtors, lenders and lawyers across the country offer free and timely articles on their websites that shed light on current commercial real estate trends nationwide. Again, make sure you listen to both sides of the story.

Tap Expert Resources National market research companies can give you specific information about the area where you're preparing to locate your business. You can also find information on demographics including the median age, household income, breakdown of ethnicities, and more from censuses available from the U.S. Census Bureau.

This will give you an idea of whether the location you're considering is a fit for your particular service. If not, move on. Don't be tempted to buy property that is a good price if your customer base is not likely to live nearby. Obviously if you are looking for a warehouse to run your factory in, the demographics of the surrounding area may not matter much to you.

Also contact commercial lenders or Realtors for additional resources. In looking for help, it's usually better to talk to a lender or realtor with nationwide experience and up-to-date information than a small-time operation that might not have recent data for you. If the lender/Realtor hasn't gotten updated demographics since 1996, you've essentially wasted your time. Also, a lender or Realtor that specializes in the type of property you're looking for will be more likely to have the specific information you need, which will save you time in research.

Study the Current Vacancy Rate Research what the vacancy rate has been over the past few years for the area you're taking into consideration. If there seem to be high levels of vacancies, try to find why. Is it a bad neighborhood? Talk to store owners in the immediate area and find out how long they've been doing business there. Ask if they have any concerns that you as a potential property owner should know about the area.

In fact, take a drive around the neighborhood. Does it have the right atmosphere? Obviously atmosphere is more important if you're opening a restaurant or retail space. For instance, if you want to buy a space for your café located in a historic area filled with shops, walking around will only reinforce the fact that this may indeed be the place to catch customers out on a leisurely afternoon.

On the other hand, if you turn the corner from your prospective location and find an abandoned building with suspicious looking individuals milling about, this may turn off your potential customers. Likewise, if a train roars by every ten minutes, you will probably want to keep looking for another property. These are all things your Commercial Realtor can help you with, but the more you know what to look for, the better prepared you'll be to make wise choices.

Research Commercial Realtors It's important to research commercial Realtors that specialize in the type of space you're looking for. Grill the realtor you are considering selecting on the entire purchase process so you know what to expect. Ask how long the process usually takes so that there are no surprises. Check their references and their track record.

Examine Experienced Commercial Lenders Choosing a lender and financing program is just as important as choosing the property. Again, find out the entire process of financing, as well as your different options. Don't assume that just because you've had a relationship with your bank for years that using their financing is the best choice. Banks don't always offer the lowest rate for commercial loans, and sometimes have a far longer turnaround than non-bank lenders. Some banks require that you transfer your accounts to them in order to qualify for a loan. Be aware of any stipulations when seeking a bank for a commercial property mortgage.

In addition, make sure you are comfortable working with the financing company. After all, the company is working for you, so don't be afraid to ask questions along the way.

Examine Your Goals Above all, be sure that buying commercial real estate is the right decision for you. While paying less for your mortgage each month than the cost of rent might seem appealing, question your real reasons for wanting to buy. Is your business truly doing so well you can anticipate being in business five years down the road? Do you anticipate any major growth spurts (or shrinkage) that could affect your purchasing decision? Weigh the advantages and disadvantages of owning property before making such a large decision.

As they say, knowledge is power. If you give yourself a crash course in commercial real estate, you will have the power to make an informed decision about buying a space and choosing financing when the time is right.

Building Equity With Commercial Property Investment

Building Equity With Commercial Property Investment

Equity is Money
Building equity is the primary if not the ultimate reason to buy instead of rent a commercial property. Let's face it. It's money in the bank. In fact, it's better than money in the bank because you can't get the same kind of return on your money when it's sitting in the bank as opposed to when you're building equity. Moreover, if you choose the right financing for your commercial real estate purchase, you can not only build equity through ownership, but you can also leverage your capital saving in order to grow your business, hire additional employees, or even purchase an additional location when the time comes.

Owning beats renting because you can sell your investment once you outgrow the space or sell the business. Even if commercial property in your area has not appreciated (which is unlikely), you can recoup your investment by renting out the space once you move out and by selling when the time is right.

If you plan on growing into your building, buy something larger than your current needs, and rent out the extra space until you need it for expansion. This will provide you with steady income that you can use to help pay your commercial property mortgage or invest in your business.

Leasing the Land

Most commercial real estate is what's called fee-simple. The buyer buys the building and the land, and has owner title to both. But while you might assume that you'll be buying the land a building sits on, you may not have this option.

Some landowners choose to lease their land to a business that then constructs buildings on the leased land. The business owns the buildings, but not the land.

The disadvantages to "leasing the land" are the following:

* You own a building on land that you don't own. * You have to pay rent on the land. * You may have rent increases over the years. * You can't do with the land as you please. * You can't sell it, give it away, lease it to others, trade it or leave it to loved ones upon your death. * You are not building up equity in the land over time. * You may be forced to move out when you're not ready to do so.

It is usually in your favor to have a fee-simple arrangement where you own both the land and the building. This gives you more control over your property. Owning both the land and the property keeps things simple and you only have one person's interests to consider

An Exception In The Real Estate Market Crisis

An Exception In The Real Estate Market Crisis

Generally put, the global real estate market is in a total deadlock with a few exceptions. One of the most important ones is in Florida, to be more specific - Cape Coral. The city is listed number 1 out of top 25 foreclosure cities in the United States and for this reason; a lot of properties are available at highly discounted prices, making them great for an investment.
If you do not know what foreclosures are we will try to explain - foreclosures are properties that are available at 10 up to a whopping 50% discount from banks and government institutions that are in need to recover their unpaid loans and/or taxes. They are not looking for a quick profit out of it as they are not into any real estate business whatsoever and thus they sell the properties just to recover their mortgage amount. Think of it like a leasing issue - someone purchased a car in leasing but did not had the money to pay all the rates, it is exactly the same situation.

There are many reasons why people invest in Cape Coral, we will just name a few:

1. The biggest annual Independence Day festival on July 4th. It is an incredible fireworks festival also known as Red, White & Boom;

2. The annual Oktoberfest held just like the original in Germany by local German-American club since 1985;

3. Festival of Arts - this festival is held on Cape Coral Parkway and year by year it attracts thousands and thousands of visitors. About 300 craftspeople along with artists participate in the festival, making it the biggest art festival in all Southwest Florida;

4. Education - three schools by Lee County school District are fully operating plus the newest school is Island Coast High School which provides quality education to children making Cape Coral a dream come true for both parents and children;

5. People - we could not have left out the people who are warm and friendly. Some renowned people are residents of Cape Coral like actress Angela Watson, NFL Player Greg Spires and the famous talk radio host Bill Cunningham.

If choosing where to live or invest your money is not that hard, actually buying a property needs a lot of attention. The first step is to secure the finances in order to get pre-qualified earlier which will increase your chances for a good bargain. You must know that you can buy foreclosed property at an auction, from the seller directly, or by collaborating with a real estate firm, no other way possible, or at least no other legal way.

Last but certainly not least, inspect the property thoroughly. Get an appointment and check the plumbing, heating, termite problems and so on. There could be hidden flaws that you will discover after you buy the house and we all know how unpleasant that can turn out to be.

Of course, if you do not want to move in, you could think of it as an investment - buying a property in order to rent it to others, it has been done a million times but it still is a legal profitable decision. The prices will certainly increase in the upcoming years so why not purchase a home now, rent it for a few years and if then you are in need of some serious money, sell it for a solid profit, it is almost a certainty.

All things considered, Cape Coral offers the best of both worlds - a great location to spend a vacation or to live permanently and of course a profitable investment. Cape Coral is still a real estate dream come true even in these hard economical times.

Summary: The article offers a brief presentation of the real estate situation in the second largest city in Florida - Cape Coral.

Buying a Home Overseas Practical?

Buying a Home Overseas Practical?

For those of us that have been lucky enough to travel to Europe, Asia or Australia from North America, we have seen some of the most beautiful land on Earth. The people, the sights and especially the food make international travel one of the most exotic and special things you can do. But what about making that trip to another country permanent? If you can afford a second home and the thought of spending your summers in the Hamptons isn't doing it for you, what about buying a little place in Italy? Or Ireland? Here are some tips on making your dream a reality.
First off, rest assured that you're not the first person to do this. It's estimated that about four million US citizens live abroad right now. The first thing you should do is check the local country's property rights. There are websites run by the International Real Estate Association that can tell you if it's even legal for non-residents of a country to own land there. You should also check with the US Government about the stability of a particular region. Remember, if you vacationed somewhere nice, that doesn't mean it's necessarily safe once you leave the resort.

The next step would be to seek out a real estate broker in that particular country for help. This is when a possible language barrier could be a problem. Luckily, there are websites available that will have links to international brokers who do speak English. A broker who is familiar with the local laws and customs of the region you're looking to move to will be able to help you find out how the local laws work when it comes to real estate.

Another good tip is that you should expect to pay cash. Most countries don't have as sophisticated a system for loans and mortgages as the US and Canada, so you are looking at either paying cash or if you are looking to move somewhere where you might be able to get a loan, a down payment of almost 50 percent wouldn't be unusual. If that's too rich for your blood, you might want to think twice about the whole thing.

Being able to retire in that pretty Tuscan villa overlooking the vineyards is a dream millions of Americans have, and while it may only become a reality for a select few, you CAN make it happen with proper planning, a helpful heaping of common sense and a few tips to help you on your way

Rehab-Real-Estate: Fast And Easy? Go Private Money

Rehab-Real-Estate: Fast And Easy? Go Private Money

Seasoned real estate investors recommend using private money when financing projects. And they have a lot of reasons for doing so. Here are some facts you need to know about private money, which is known in the real estate investing world as hard money.

Private money financing is popular among real estate investors because it is fast. Lenders know the urgency involved in real estate invetsing. They know the competition is tough and that if you need funding, you need it fast. They understand this and this is how they operate. Despite higher risks, hard money lenders approve or reject loans in just days. They even extend credit to those who have poor credit scores. Their way of assessing applications enables them to release loans in just days.

Lenders in this kind of financing will hardly care how muchyou earn from your office job, in case you have one. Unlike banks, they do not evaluate borrowers based on credit scores or credit reports. What lenders care about is the deal you plan to close using their money. In short, you must convince a lender that your project is worth funding and that you will be able to repay them through this.

Let us take rehabbing houses as an example. In case you need private money financing for a rehabbing project, lenders will evaluate the property you want to rehab. They will determine whether it will result in positive returns. If you are able to prove that your plan to rehab that property will bring you profits, the expect the loan to be approved. Now that's easy money.

Hard money, unlike traditional loans, can also finance 100% of a rehabbing project. That means you get yo buy a cheap property to rehab and repair it using one loan. This is possible because of an unconventional way of computing how much money you will get from a lender.

Hard money lenders usually give between 60% and 70% of the after repair value of the property, better known as ARV. This is usually enough to shoulder both purchase and repair costs. It some cases, it can even answer closing costs. If you went to traditional lenders, for example a bank, you are likely to get an amount just enough to buy the property you want to rehab. As for the repairs, you will have to apply for a personal loan for that or use your personal money.

Real Estate Investing: How Do You Break In?

Real Estate Investing: How Do You Break In?

Almost every individual in the country today is in search of several other ways to increase their income. Regular jobs are no longer enough to sustain the needs of the entire family. Given this, many are very eager to find other ways of increasing their income. In this article, REIWired.com shares with us ideas on how to succeed in real estate.

Real estate has proved to be very profitable even during the hard times. Many want to find out how they could break in the industry and hopefully make good money. So how do you even break in? We have compiled some of the useful tips from REIWired.com to help you get started:

1. Ask around. The best way to learn is immerse yourself in the industry. While yes, you will find a lot of valuable information online, learning through first-hand experience will make it a lot easier for you. Talk to investors in town. Observe and ask for tips. You also need to learn how to read the market. Know what the general market wants. How much are they willing to pay? Which areas are good spots for investment? Make sure to consider all these factors.

2. Know your edge. What are your strengths? Are you good at do-it-yourself activities? If so, then maybe rehabbing homes will be a good choice for you. First, you need to identify your strengths and then that's when you start making a plan. From your skills, where will you excel? Narrow down your choices and pick one, which will suit you best. Another important note to keep in mind is that being specific is very important. Do not attempt to tackle two things at one time especially if you are a first-timer.

3. How much do you have? Just like with any other business, financial capital is very important. Before you even start with anything, know how much you are willing to shell out. You also need to identify your financial source. Will you take it from your personal savings? Or will you borrow from a financial institution? These things should be taken into consideration before you get into real business.

4. Start small. If it is your first time, do not dream of venturing into something big. Take it one project at a time. You will be ready to take on bigger risks as you move along.

Uncovering Smart Real Estate Investing Solutions for 2009

Uncovering Smart Real Estate Investing Solutions for 2009

You can create tremendous wealth in real estate regardless of the current market conditions. While we're in the midst of an investing climate that hovers somewhere between perilous and challenging (depending upon who you ask), there's still a ton of money to be made. To cash in on the profit potential that's at your doorstep, you need to uncover the right solution. It's not as hard as you might think. When the market was flying high, a real estate investor could do no wrong. It was almost impossible to mess up a deal, and quite a few novice investors managed to turn a bad deal into a marginal-to-good deal by exercising a little patience and letting rapid-fire property appreciation correct their mistakes. Those days are gone. If you make the same mistakes now, you'll feel the reverberations in your bones, and the reminder of your error will be staring you in the face every month when you look at the bottom line and cry yourself to sleep at night. The real secret to investing success is realizing that successful strategies change with current market conditions. While a quick fix and flip followed by a trip to the bank and a celebration dinner aren't necessarily out of the question, your most successful strategies for 2009 will be different because market conditions are radically different. The three most lucrative investing strategies for the coming year will be solution-based: Wholesaling - You can find motivated sellers everywhere you look. Needing to sell due to job loss, relocation, or possible bankruptcy, they are more willing than ever before to let you craft a workable solution that gets them out of the bind they find themselves in. You can come to the rescue of desperate homeowners by putting properties under contract for pennies on the dollar and assigning your right to purchase to another investor, keeping a tidy profit for yourself in the process. You solve the homeowner's problem by creating profit potential for another investor - and earn a great pay day for yourself. Short sales - With short sales, you get to play Superman - in duplicate. Not only will you be helping a homeowner to avoid foreclosure, but you'll also be doing their friendly banker a huge favor. Banks are taking back record numbers of properties and bankers are desperate to get these properties off their books as soon as possible. Desperation is a quiet breeding ground for great deals, so by negotiating on behalf of the homeowner, you help them to avoid foreclosure while helping the banker avoid yet another REO. The payoff to you is a good property at a great price. REOs - Once a lender has taken a property back into its inventory in foreclosure, the homeowner is out of the picture, but the property remains. As banks watch their inventory swell, they want nothing more than to unload properties as quickly as possible. The reason is simple: A property in inventory is a massive liability to a lender. Between carrying costs, lost profits, and vacant properties that are producing no income, lenders are faced with another problem: They can't lend money to other borrowers, which tend to even further restrict their ability to turn a profit. Your offer looks increasingly appealing the longer they have a property in stock. These solutions are a recipe for financial success in 2009. Learn how to capitalize on them today and this could be your best year ever! If these strategies are outside of your comfort zone, you owe it to yourself and your future to learn how to take advantage of them today at www.reiconferences.com

Understanding Commercial Real Estate-Can You Make Money?

Understanding Commercial Real Estate-Can You Make Money?

This is one question that I've got a definitive answer for : Yes! We all know that you can earn cash making an investment in commercial property.
If you glance at the most successful financiers out there you will find that all of them have a pattern in common : They have often began by making an investment in houses, managing a company, or working in a fairly well paying profession. The following step is to start making an investment in smaller commercial properties like loft buildings. At some specific point the successful speculators all move up to either big commercial deals or land development.

My friend began making an investment in real estate by buying single family houses. He did quite well in it, but one day he was daydreaming and announced to himself, "What if I could mix all my rental houses under one roof?" He felt that would make handling the properties a lot less complicated as he wouldn't have to drive round the town chasing leases.

Actually, he realized that he could make more efficient use of the time that he saved by investing even more! When he awakened from his daydream, he realized he had just described a studio complicated. To make a long story down in size, he sold all his rental houses and acquired big residence complexes.

And the rest is history. His money flow went from hundreds every month to thousands a month in just two years. If he'll make it starting where he did as an introverted engineer, and now he is purchasing commercial properties worth millions, you actually can too. You see, my friend is just an ordinary person who applied the concepts in this book to modify his life. If he will be able to do it, anyone can use commercial property investing to transform their life.

Through this series, I will show you what "good real estate" looks like, and we tell you a way to time the estate market, what markets to remain away from, and the way to know a fair deal from a bad deal Then I will set you up with some powerful directing guidelines of investment and some free continuing coaching to help move you forward.

Vancouver Corporate Housing Part of a Growth Industry

Vancouver Corporate Housing Part of a Growth Industry

Entrepreneurs are attracted to business endeavors that can spring back from recessions and exceed expectations. The statistics of companies that specialize in renting luxury apartments indicate a solid business investment for new operators. Local agents in Vancouver find a busy market despite competition from national corporations.
In the last several recessions the real estate market collapsed and other housing sectors like the hotel industry suffered steady downturns. It's refreshing to see statistics that emit rays of sunshine through the darkness of the recent economy, and that comes from a sector of the housing industry that is growing exponentially: the corporate suite rental sector whereby executives, government officials, and other well-off travelers can obtain short-term lodging while in another city.

The term corporate housing is used in the travel industry to describe temporary apartments and houses, the average time span being 80 days in duration. The concept was forming into a business sector and growing for twenty years until overall revenues totaled $2 billion by 2005. A report by the Highland Group, a consulting company for the corporate housing industry, predicted a twenty-three percent revenue growth for 2006 - up to a healthy $2.46 billion. The year turned out higher than the estimate and growth was twenty-five percent, and the sector brought in $2.5 billion. An extra $200 million above predictions shows an unheard of streak of exponential growth when you consider that the growth between 2004 and 2005 was tallied at twelve percent...still fantastic but when a sector can double growth in a short two years it can turn more than a few heads.

Growth industries are few and far between in the cyclical economic boom and bust pattern of recessions created by lack of regulation in financial markets, government corruption, and the latest expensive overseas wars. The central banks receive astronomical profits in the U.S. by receiving free money from the Treasury. The Federal Reserve Bank (a private company, not a government agency) then lends the money back to the government at interest. That growth industry has been around since 1913 and has caused the money supply of the country to be in the hands of the international banking cartel, putting them effectively in charge of policy since the government is beholden to them to avoid total economic collapse. Other growth industries rely on the honest hard work, management skills and innovative ideas of taxpaying private citizens and budding corporations.

Most corporate housing efforts are undertaken by apartment and housing property owners who set aside a certain number of units to be used as short-term rentals for this purpose. Some of these are national and provide corporate housing reservations in more than one city but there is still room for entrepreneurs to thrive in the local market. The national companies have the advantage of being in multiple cities so they can court ongoing business from regular clients who have more than one destination for extended visits by their people for month or two. The marketing budget of such a cash flow may put single-city companies at a disadvantage but such a growth industry allows room for many players when managed properly.

On the average the corporate housing unit is nearly half the price of staying at a hotel while there is greater privacy and double the floor space or better. The company supplying the suites takes care of maintenance and cleaning while the guests enjoy all the amenities that come with a furnished luxury apartment, house, or condo. There are as many as 1,200 corporate housing operations in North America and the rapid expansion of the market will create new companies. There will always be people with money so the demand exists, but the major problem facing the industry is a possible dwindling of available units due to condominium buy-outs that will reduce availability and possibly drive prices up.

How To Guide: Is Real Estate Investing Right for You?

How To Guide: Is Real Estate Investing Right for You?

If I knew then what I know now, I never would have voted for the war. Ken Lucas
For me the greatest source of income is still movies. Nothing - stocks, financial speculation, real estate speculation or businesses - makes more money for me than making movies. Jackie Chan

I have 1900 units, why do I need a 401K? Robert Kiyosaki, recent interview Time Magazine

To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man. William Shakespeare

From Robert Kiyosaki to Donald Trump, from Robert Allen Carleton Sheets, from Dolf de Roos to Diane Kennedy, investing in real estate is touted as a way for average people with time, money and patience to build wealth.

But is investing in real estate right wealth vehicle for everyone? If this were a one-size fits-all-world the answer would be yes. But, then, stocks would be the perfect investment vehicle for everyone and the discussion would end there. I have had investment real estate since 1994. I have had tenants attempt to squat in my properties, I have been sued, I have had a unit vandalized, someone drove into one of my buildings and I gave gone through my fair share of property managers.

If I knew then, what I know now, would I have bought my first property? The answer is yes. Real estate has done more for me than the stock market has with less overall financial risk despite the headaches and they have been many.

Five Ways to Know if Real Estate Investing is Right for You.

1. Are you a good manager of your personal resources or do you have significant amounts of short term debt? If the answers are no and yes, in that order, do not invest in real estate until you address these issues. Real estate is illiquid. Once purchased, the hold time on your new property may be significantly longer than you anticipate. This means that your potential exposure to unplanned expenses on your property may be longer than anticipated. Significant amounts of short term debt or the inability to plan your finances in anticipation of expenses may turn your real estate investment into a financial nightmare.

2. Are you a team player and can you captain that team? Investing in real estate means partnering with others to ensure your success and recognizing that your partners may know more than you. You will encounter brokers, property managers, attorneys, handy men, plumbers, electricians, contractors, roofers, inspectors, mortgage brokers and appraisers. If you are a control freak, prefer to work alone or cannot be direct in your communication when working with people, real estate investing may not be right for you.

3. Do you understand the kind of investing you will be doing? Will you be investing for cashflow or speculating for appreciation? Do you have the analytical tools necessary to help you work up a pro-forma for the property you will be buying?

4. Do you truly understand that wealth-building in real estate occurs over many years and that you have to "survive" your first couple of properties to build wealth? Over 20 years ago I started baking bread. The guide book I bought featured a "loaf for learning", a basic loaf that I could practice kneading, mixing and still turn out an edible product. Your first properties will be "buildings for learning". As you move beyond the initial learning curve, you will move on to create wealth. In certain markets, real-estate can produce appreciation returns beyond expectations and create the illusion that real estate produces instant cash. In my life I have seen two such markets. Frankly I would not want my future financial well-being to rest on my ability to time markets. Sophisticated investors have as their core investments, cashflow properties, properties that perform during hot or cold markets.

5. How do you react to unpleasant business news? Is your overall reaction anger that dissipates into a sense of helplessness or do you become a problem solver? Being able to solve problems is the key to having a successful business and investing in real-estate is a business. Real-estate is also a people business, by this I mean your tenants are people and the service personnel who will work on and market your properties are people. If the failings of others afflicts you with moral indignation and heartache, real estate investing is not for you. Tenants will fail to pay the rent and you will have to evict them, your property manager will charge you market or above market for repairs and will fail to market your properties properly in order to keep them full.

While real estate investing is a great way to build wealth, investing in real estate isn't for everyone. It is easy to "catch the fever" and jump without looking, the first step is to make sure that you know yourself; these five points of consideration will assist you to that end.

The next step is to educate yourself about your local market, financing options, price and rents. You can start by finding a local Cashflow or real estate investing club. If you join a local real estate investing club make sure some of the members actually own investment property. That way the club won't just be a club of "wannabes".

Next assemble your team of property managers, accountants, brokers and agents. You will do this by interviewing prospects. Once you decide on a team, you will still have to trade the members out from time to time.

Finally do your first deal.

How to make a Quick Home Sale in Today's Real Estate Market

The current economic crisis has had a profound impact on the real estate market. For this reason many home owners looking to make a quick home sale are struggling to find buyers, especially in cases where the house in question requires repair and restructuring. Irrespective of the reasons that may be driving you to sell your house, the real challenge is to be able to find buyers willing to purchase the house at an agreed upon price, preferably in an "as is" condition and as soon as possible. This task may be a tad bit too difficult to accomplish for the average home owner. There is however a unique alternative that you can take advantage of to get rid of your home at a quick pace. This involves locating a home buying service online. Using the internet you can easily get into contact with a company that renders such services. Basically such companies do not function as real estate agents or brokers. On the contrary such companies purchase the property themselves directly from the home owner.
What are the benefits of dealing with such companies for someone looking to make a quick home sale? The first and perhaps biggest benefit is the fact that you will no longer have to scan the market to look for buyers. Rather such companies will be your one stop solution to making a quick home sale. Secondly you would have to incur some advertising and marketing expenses if you were to sell your house in the conventional manner in the real estate market. With a home buying service all you have to do is inform them about the property and they will conduct the inspection and fix a fair price for the property in question directly with the home owner. This also means no middlemen will be involved in the procedure thus eliminating the added expense of paying commissions to real estate agents and brokers.

Most of the times home owners looking to make a quick home sale are in some sort of a financial crisis hence they do not have the time or money to spend on repairing their homes. In such cases a home buying service provides you with an indispensable service by taking on your home in an "as is" condition. This means you do not have to spend money to spruce up your home and can get rid of it as soon as a mutually agreeable price is fixed upon. Of course you could have driven the price of your home up had it been in tip top condition but if you are looking to sell your house fast and do not possess the finances or time to conduct the repairs then this is the best alternative available to you.
