What will be a reason for the flunk of real estate prices in the Gulf?

Author: admin  //  Category: For Sale By Owner Tips

I’ve read the news about the slump of Real Estate prices in some parts of the US…

But from where I come from – in the Arabian Gulf – Real Estate is booming and you will find buyers for any property whatever the price is ! Especially when the buyers are corporate buyers !
And prices are very much high…
But what has a starting should have an ending too…

And the question is, will what happened in the US also happen in the Arabian Gulf (maybe after a decade) ? What might be the reasons ?

One reason that I can think of is that prices will be so high that it might reach a range not affordable for individual consumers, and the starting trend here is an extended family where a large family will live in one big house – sometimes for a long time -
And therefore demand – for a long time – might be very low, forcing prices of Real Estate down!

What do you think ? And when would that happen ?

Egypt: can any one explain in detail the real estate tax which is approved recently?

Author: admin  //  Category: For Sale By Owner Tips

i read different news about it,,,when will it be applied? How much will it be?
sohow much tax,year, would be paid in a chalet for 5 million pound?? does any one know???????????

Hey there Zoser,

The new real estate law keeps changing with the new additions from the parliament the recent of which is increasing the exemption threshold from LE 250 K to LE 500 K, also exempting units with a rental value less than LE 6k per year, which means about LE 500 a month. All the units to be taxed will be subject to a 10 percent tax (down from 12%) that will be further reduced after deducting the 30 percent maintenance costs.

Payment also under the new amendments could be divided into two installments at the beginning and mid year and according to the news it will start next year on all real estate over that amount…… (All the properties owned in places like the North Coast and Sokhna, Hurghada and Sharm…) and all the new places in 6th of October and 10 of Ramadan etc..

The thing is, who will value these properties, cos most of them were bought years ago with a much lesser value than they are today and according to the boom in the Real Estate market, most of all the flats and real estate are near if not much more above that amount.

If she’s agreed on the price you want and you’ve made a deal, let the bank have the headache.

How about some opinions on creating a database of fingerprints of "loan originators" and real estate agents?

This was added to the Housing bailout bill by Diane Feinstein and Mel Martinez .

What’s the difference? Pretty much every profession requires fingerprints: bankers, insurance agents, attorneys. Why should Real Estate agents and brokers be exempt?

Who is the new hero of the real estate market besides Donald Trump?

Author: admin  //  Category: For Sale By Owner Tips

Is Mike Hrezo is the real estate market’s new hero www.homes4scv.com/ Real Estate needs something and is high on foreclosure with rates soaring! Like Donald Trump the hero of R.E. is a professional real estate mogul in the industry & you’ve already heard the news about the real estate mogul’s up and coming status because he probably feels the same effects on his mental and financial health as Donald Trump feels. Like Donald Trump Hrezo the R.E. hero doesn’t worry about losing his job or making ends meet because like Donald Trump Hrezo took action! Hrezo’s career was once seen as a sunny clear day career but lately has been blocked by clouds of the Real Estate pouring down the valley but Mike Hrezo knows there is a silver lining he will use to his and your advantage. Mike Hrezo has found that he and his colleagues can still benefit from this economic downshifting. So like "The Donald Mike Hrezo" has gained the skills of trying to stay afloat like all of us! Can this be true?

Will Hrezo be the new Trump hero of Real Estate? We can only pray that the situation gets better and that people like Donald Trump and Mike Hrezo can straighten things out in the real estate world, especially in California where people are losing their homes and shirts so I say go for Real Estate moguls and save our souls!

Where can I buy newspaper stands or real estate magazine stands in Australia?

Author: admin  //  Category: For Sale By Owner Tips

I am looking for magazine stands similar to the ones used for realestate magazines or news papers, which can hold up to150~200 copies of 40~60 pages magazine in A4 size. willing to spend about $40 to $60 for each one. I am thinking of buying between 50 to 70 of them

I know what you are talking about – my suggestion is to go to a Plastic manufacture place – industry area of town. They will sell them, and buying in bulk will save you.
It’s not something you can buy from office works that’s for sure.

Good luck

How much money do I really need to get started in the real estate business?

Author: admin  //  Category: For Sale By Owner Tips

I’m capable of working hard and I’m tired of getting a job and reporting the good news to my parents only to get fired a few days later and get stuck looking like a chump. I’m ready to read what I have to read, learn what I have to learn, do what I have to do, etc. so that some dipshit boss can’t decide to fire me and cut off my financial security on a whim.

How much will I need in the bank?

There are several things you need to know when investing in real estate or buying foreclosures, probates and other distressed properties for flipping.

First of all you should go to the nearest book store, purchase several books on buying, fixing and flipping foreclosed and other distressed properties and real estate investing. There are several that you might be interested in.

You will also want to find out if your state is a non-judicial or judicial foreclosure state. This will assist you in making offers as well time frames in which you have to work within when purchasing a foreclosed property.

Once, or, while you are doing this you should buy one of the TV guru’s distressed property programs. These programs will give you some legal forms you might use when writing an offer to purchase a property. You will also find several scripts to use in talking to your potential clients. The also give you tips and a formula on how to figure if you have a property that you can make money from before buying.

If you are without funds to accomplish this business, you will have to find some investors that will assist you. You will have to make a deal with them about a certain percentage of the profits made from the sale of the property. You will have to advertise in your local newspaper for these type individuals to assist you in buying and flipping.

Another method to use when you are without funds to assist you in buying investment property is to get the deal under contract in your name after which you wholesale the deal to another investor and let them do the fix up and repairs. You can collect anywhere between $5,000.00 to $10,000.00. In high cost property states you might even get more for wholesaling properties.

Normally this is 50/50 however it could be more or less depending on how your relationship is with the investor.

Now to purchase a foreclosed property depends on what phase the foreclosure is in.

#1 Pre-foreclose- the owner is still in the home, he has been notified that he is in foreclosure. Now he has to come current or the foreclosure will continue.

You can make an offer to the owner at this point, give him something in his hand to purchase his equity. Now you will also want to see if there is any repairs that need to be done on the property. If there is you need to know the cost of this repair. You will need to know how many months he is behind in his mortgage payments as well as any fees that the lender has incurred in trying to collect the mortgage payment. Now add these together to include what you had to give the homeowner. Also you must include how much you will need to hold the property, I mean making the mortgage, paying the insurance and taxes while you repair the house for sale.

Now find out the balance of the mortgage add this to the above figure. Now you need a method of finding out the current value of the property. All this information will tell you if you have a deal or not.

#2 The other way to purchase a foreclosure is when the property goes to sale. At this point you must have all cash and you must be able to prove that you have whatever the minimum bid is in cash, cashier’s check or money orders. If you have no proof you will not be allowed to bid.

#3 One last way is after the sale. If no one bid and get the property at the foreclosure sale, you may find out what bank owns the property, write an offer as well as a check as a deposit not to be cashed until the offer has been accepted. You might also inform them as to how and when you plan to come up with the remainder of the sales price. I have know some lenders to accept offers this way before the property is turned over to a Real Estate broker to sell.

Now you have to determine how you are gonna market yourself to get.

#1 You can purchase a pre-foreclosure list from a list broker (Join the crowd most do this and mail letters to the person that is in foreclosure)

#2 You can advertise in your local paper that you are in the business of purchasing foreclosures.

#3 You can do a direct mail to people in your city stating that you are now in the foreclosure business.

#4 You can do the research at the county recorders office yourself (time consuming and tedious-but workable. You should get enough leads for a least one days work.)

#5 You can select an area of your city that you want to work and target your that area with your energy. You can walk the area pass out flyers that you are now in the business of buying property distressed, divorced and foreclosures as well as probate property.

Pass out these flyers for at least 2-3 months after which you should go to a newsletter of some sort while still explaining that you purchase foreclosed, distressed and probate properties.

After passing out the flyers for 2-3 months you should follow that up with a newsletter to the same area. Check with the post office and inquire about a bulk mailing stamp. This is a more economical w

What does "hold do not show" mean on a real estate listing? What are the implications?

Author: admin  //  Category: For Sale By Owner Tips

My husband and I have been waiting to hear about our offer on a home, and I noticed today that the status has changed from "active" to "hold do not show". Is this bad news for us?
I should have mentioned that it is a short sale situation, so yes it is past the 3 days that they were supposed to respond. Thanks for the advice, I will talk to our agent.

I’ve never seen that notation on a listing, but my guess is they either don’t want to see more offers, or they’ve decided not to sell.

If I were you I’d call my agent and insist on an update. Has the deadline for answering your offer passed? Your agent needs to get busy and represent your interests.
