Real People Eat Real Food

Chemicals and Additives

'We are living in a world today where lemonade is made from artificial flavours and furniture polish is made from real lemons.'
Alfred E. Newman

There is never one thing alone that causes ill health or disease - it will always be a combination of many things - BUT - if there were one aspect of our diet that is more irritating than any other - I believe it would be the addition of all the chemicals - the inorganic, lifeless, poisonous chemicals that are listed on the containers of the foodstuffs that occupy the shelves of the supermarkets.

• Let's face it folks - we are 'organic by nature.'

• The body cannot efficiently utilize inorganic matter.

• It will be forced to either lay it down somewhere or attempt to eliminate it - either way - a total waste of energy.

• There are thousands of food additives and chemicals in common use by the world's food industry.

Since the USDA no longer provides data on the amount of additives consumed by the average person (in the Western world) we have to extrapolate a little bit.

• In 1979 the USDA determined that each person consumed up to ¾ of a ton of food each year - of that, additives made up less than 1%.

• If we increase the amount of food consumed over the past 30 yeas we could reasonably expect each person to be ingesting up to and over ½ ounce of additives per day.

• The Columbia Encyclopaedia tells us that food additives comprise approximately 10% (about 150 lbs) of the food consumed by the average American adult.

• The laboratory CANNOT duplicate 'mother nature.

• Additives' are simply chemicals that resemble 'qualities' of food in name only.

• They have no life force.

And I might add - that all vitamins, supplements, tonics and tinctures that are produced and sold in shops - they have no life force either - they can stimulate - or they can depress the nervous system - but that's it.

If you want real health - not just a shine on the surface with the furniture polish - eat the real deal - chemicals are just the peel of the fruit - they cannot build health.

All the best for your health and happiness,
Kevin

What Entrepreneurs Should Learn From Julius Caesar

In the heights of the Roman Empire, Julius Caesar stood leagues above the rest of the world. Some historians would argue that he was the most powerful human to ever walk the planet, and how can you argue? But, to me, he offers more than just a book I read in high school, though that book is rarely used as an example of entrepreneurship and it should be. However, he is more than an example; he is the heartbeat of the world of innovators and should be seen as the guide for all entrepreneurs. Julius said things like ““It is better to create than to learn! Creating is the essence of life.”, “I would rather be first in a small village in Gaul than second in command in Rome” and “how to avoid getting stabbed in the back at work.”, and all of these quotes could be thought of as symbols of the way we all must think.

He was an inspiration and a role model for the free world, though he was an emperor. He should be read by entrepreneurs, not Zig Ziglar or Robert T. Kiyosaki, he was the real deal. He owned the world, not a sales technique or a real estate strategy. True power comes from understanding true power, not what someone else wants you to buy. He also said “Men freely believe that which they desire”, which is why these “gurus” exist. Make sure you are reading all the time, but make sure you are reading things that draw real thought and come from a place of where you would like to be one day. Don’t believe the hype and rush into a business that someone else claims to be a success in because most of the time those that you should learn from cost more than .95. Go to the source of information and do it right or don’t do it at all. It may sound strange, but be like Frank Lucas in American Gangster and go to the source directly or stop playing the game. Find the people that matter in your world and get to them the right way.

Now, being that Julius Caesar was the most powerful man in the world, I can safely say that he understood success and power better than any of us ever will. This is what no modern day book can teach you, how to truly handle success. Sure they teach you about the things to do to be a success and the road to walk down, but do they teach you how to handle it when you get there?

There is something that very few people knew about Julius Caesar. He always had a shadow behind him while he ruled his empire. He always had a skinny peasant standing behind him that would lean over and whisper in his ear which would change the look on his face and the way he would speak. This peasant was not a God or a Statesman; he was a peasant that Julius Caesar himself paid to work for him. Everywhere Julius would go, this poor man would go and never did this poor man speak to anyone but the Caesar. Never did anyone know what they spoke about and why he was there. But, the story behind this man is one that I have taken to heart and every other businessman that is truly destined for greatness should also take to heart.

The story goes like this. One day the Caesar was walking through his palace and he stopped right outside the gates because he saw a man working on the wall. His guards immediately ran to accost this man and Julius stopped them so he could ask this man what he was doing. The man replied that he had been working on filling a hole in the wall, at no cost or want of recognition. The man explained that 2 known criminals had come in to his eatery in the poorer section of Rome and spoken about this crack in the wall. They spoke of the ways they were going to use it to break in and steal from the Caesar. Without thinking twice this man came to fix it. Julius was stunned and amazed and took this man under his arm for a walk. After this walk, no one really knows what happened because of the secrecy involved, this man never left the side of the Caesar again.

The legend says that Julius had taken this man in and provided his entire family more money than they could ever spend in exchange for his undying loyalty and time. He saw what he thought to be a true Roman and a real honest man and rewarded him for it. However, this man would have the hardest job in all of Rome, as the legend goes, and through his occupation every free spirited innovator should learn.

Julius Caesar, the most powerful man on the planet had asked this peasant to be his voice of reason. He had given this man the daunting task of being the voice of reason to the most feared and respected man in the world in a time of pure chaos. This man, that no one knew, or ever spoke to, had the task of standing behind the most imposing figure in history at all times. Every time the Caesar got an ego or stepped out of line, according to the guidelines of best practices and Roman rules that Caesar himself wrote, you would see this skinny peasant lean in and whisper to Julius. He was only allowed to say one phrase in public and was rarely allowed to leave the grounds. For this his family never had to worry about financial matters ever again. But if he were to ever fail; his blood line would have ended on the spot.

Julius Caesar hired a man to stand behind him and whisper in his ear, “You’re only a man, you’re only a man, you’re only a man” which is a far cry from the rich and powerful of our time. Today the rich and powerful will pay people to tell them the exact opposite and even pay to have others lie to them so they feel even more omnipotent. Caesar understood power and its uses and downfalls and took the time to look in the mirror. He noted that every powerful man will be tempted to think they are Godlike in the face of fame and fortune and he humbled himself at every possible chance.

This story, though legend and not historical (because they killed him too before anyone had a chance to ask him what he did for a living) tells me more about success than anything any “guru” ever could. It tells me that we all need to have a voice of reason and a person to stay in our face about the things we do on the way up or at the top. And, that it is more important WHO we are and not WHAT we are or what we have done. Take this this to heart and find those in your life that tell you the truth at all times and hold on to them at all costs. You may not even like them, but you need them if you plan to be a real success and not just another wanna be “guru”. I have found 3 in my life and they have saved my rear end more times by keeping me in check when I succeeded than anyone could ever have helped when I failed. It is more important to have your feet on the ground than your head in the clouds. Don’t be afraid to look in the mirror and when it is hard to do, make sure you have someone there to hold it for you. The bottom-line is simple, power corrupts and only those that truly deserve it will maintain it. Protect what is yours and stay true to who you are as an entrepreneur, it is the only thing you can really control. Hiring a coach to keep you from making mistakes is usually not needed, but having a coach that helps you stay as focused as you did on the way up, will never fail.

Home Insurance - 'Home Sweet Home'

Insurance is a promise by an organisation to an individual to cover his or her losses that often come in life. The insurance companies offer various types of schemes to the people to cover up the expenses of the losses. One can insure their vehicle, house and even life.

With its policy you can cover many personal insurance protections that protects you from financial losses regarding your flats and buildings from any kind of losses. It covers the loss of your living expenses, loss of possessions and any kind of calamity that may occur at your home.

Before taking up your the home insurance always remember to read its manual first as it has some but major terms and conditions, clause etc., that don't cover your loss or you can also say major losses. The home insurance policy or any kind of policy is set for a specific period of time. So do clear the facts and things that are covered under you policy before like- the amount your company is determining for your house, what things are covered including the property in the home, the damaged liabilities coverage and all related kind of queries.

More About Commercial Real Estate

Being a legal term in some of the major jurisdictions of the world, real estate encompasses land and the permanently attached properties along with it, specifically the residential and commercial property of any kind. If you consider leaping into the commercial real estate investment then it will be a wise decision to be prepared to come up with some intricate decisions along with some lengthy research that includes researching the right properties available and the market conditions as well.

Commercial Real Estate is divided into three different categories including industrial, office and retail. It demands full knowledge of all the properties that may fall in these three distinct sub divisions. There are many states in the world where any residential property holding more than a specified number of divisions qualifies to be a commercial property for tax purposes and borrowing.

The commercial real estate may be one of the toughest businesses to start with, however, you can even reap maximum rewards from it, if found lucky enough to hit the right odds.

Selection of the right type of a property will always be considered an essential point in this particular field. Investing in separate and dissimilar properties like apartment buildings and retail may cause a greater stress and may likely lead you to failure.

Select only one type of property when you start with your real estate ventures and thus become a professional in that particular section before you move on to another new venues. As an investor, it will be imperative to learn about the property, market scenario, restrictions and conditions, zoning ordinances, existing leases, environmental hazards, tenants and the existing conditions as well.

Real Commercial Printing Costs

In looking at commercial printing costs, you should not just look at the monetary value you should also look at the effort of both parties and the time spent in creating the prints.  One of the most important things to do to cut costs in printing is to find the best commercial printer who can give you a good price for your print and less of a headache when printing starts.

Colors
Do you really need multi – color printing (more than one color)? If you are picking just black for your prints, printing will relatively be cheaper compared to a print that has one specific color.  The more colors you require apart from black the more it will cost.  Since our monitors use RGB colors, the prints will most likely not match the actual design and should you require the colors to match your pick as exact as possible, your price just might go up.  So to save you a few bucks, be fine with the colors that comes out the proof unless the colors are way to different from the one you chose.

Paper Choice
Your choice of paper can also affect the price quote your target printers may give you.

Thicker paper and paper made of good quality will obviously add to the price.  This is a very important choice as papers ability to absorb ink varies greatly plus papers of good quality survive longer than the thinner ones.  You can however use the cheaper ones for simple handouts that people just might throw away eventually.

Print dimensions
The bigger your prints are the bigger the costs, this would increase even more if you require a particular size that is not commonly done.

Print volume
How much prints are you thinking of having produced? Commercial prints are often more than 500 copies or more.  Ideally your printer should give you a good rate for the volume of your prints.

The more prints you require for printing the more savings you get.  This will not only save you money, it will also save you time and effort to go back to your printers if you need the same prints  again just because you did not print that much.

Pre-flight/submission/uploading Check
The more thorough your review of your design you do before you give to the printers the more you save on monetary costs, efforts and time.  Look at everything from all corners; check your fonts, colors, simple spellings and grammar, typographical errors, wrong pictures etc.  The more you scrutinize everything the better for you and your pocket.

Finishing
Additional add-ons apart from the print on the paper like binding is another add-on to the bill.  Some printers include this in the package to give you better rates.

Turnaround time
Your chosen printer should meet any deadline you require.  While monetarily late prints will not cost you greatly (unless you have an event coming in a few days), it will how ever cost you the time.  The time lost is the time that the prints should have been with the intended users.

Understanding the entire process of commercial printing will help you greatly in cutting down the costs.  Talk to your chosen commercial printer and be friendly, nice customers tend to be given better packages or cheaper rates than arrogant ones.

Thailand Villas

Thailand is a land of exotic locales, stunning views, mouth-watering cuisine, lush flora and rare fauna and has lately topped the list of favorite holiday destinations. When in Thailand, there is no better option to stay than in a villa. Thailand Villas are resplendent in luxury and grandeur and are any day a better option than hotels. Thailand Villas are an amalgam of contemporary and traditional culture under one roof. Generally a villa would include 3 to 5 bedrooms, pavilions, magnificent pools, fully equipped kitchen, open dining and living rooms and beautifully landscaped gardens to spend some peaceful time in.

The investment potential of Thailand is on an upsurge and it is the best time to invest in a property there. The government in Thailand is focusing on a 10% growth of annual tourism and is taking aggressive measures to achieve it. The thriving tourism industry is one of the major contributors to the rising investment in Thailand property. Recently, many new luxury resorts have come up and are attracting tourists like never before. You may buy a villa for your personal use as well as for renting it out during holiday season to reap maximum benefits from your property.

Villas in Thailand are of various types and you may pick one according to your preference and budget. Private villas are a private Thailand property and are located on individual plots of land. Some of these villas demand a security deposit to be made in order to ensure complete safety of the premises, but you may get some villas that do not demand any such security. Most villas have an excellent in-house staff for cleaning, washing, cooking, laundry etc who are available at your service throughout your stay. The recent property boom in Thailand has made investing in a villa here as a lucrative option. However, it would be wise to investigate the ownership, laws, pricing, locality, amenities and facilities of the villa before you invest any money there.

Villas are preferred by people who indulge in luxurious surroundings and have the money to afford the luxury. Hence, this profile of your forthcoming customer has to be given due importance when you look for villas. Compromising on the open spaces and quality would only do you harm as your villa would not be suitable for the person who may rent it. As you are catering to a niche market who splurges on luxury, it is imperative to buy a villa that does justice to the tastes and preferences of a prospective customer. It would not be prudent to cut corners as it would affect your clientele. Invest in a villa that is luxurious and caters to all the whims and fancies of a customer. This would ensure a steady rental all year round and would give you returns all your life.

Bali-villas

Bali Villas, doesnt the name sound interesting in itself? The entire experience and the ambience of such villas is even more interesting, beyond the imaginations and the fantasies of an individual. The feeling of being at home outside ones home is a feeling unparalleled. One gets to get all the comforts and the luxuries of ones home but s/he is away from all the fuss that the city has on offer. This is the beauty of the
Bali Villas. As the name itself suggests, such villas are located in the serene and scenic location of Bali in the mystical Indonesia. However, these villas have managed to create an identity for themselves, that of being the most different and the most imaginatively comforting places for holidays. This comfort of the villas is added up by the mixture of grandeur and humility in the hospitality offered at these Bali Villas.

The trend with most Bali Villas is that the guest is welcomed in a grand style. The driver who is assigned with the responsibility of picking up the guests sees to it that the guests are made to feel as important as possible. The guest, along with his/her family, is driven to the villa from the airport in a cab, owned by the villa. The driver, in cases of most Bali Villas, is also on the rolls of the villa. This adds to the control the villa owners could have over the quality which is being delivered right at the outset. This is important because the driver and the cab are the first point of contact of the villa with the guests. Therefore, if the first impression on the guests is good, the rest of things become smoother for the staff members and the owner/s of these Bali Villas.

Staff members and owners of all Bali Villas know it well that their existence depends upon the quality that they deliver. Promising grandeur is one thing, delivering it with precision is another. That is where comes in the role of an effective villa manager. The villa manager takes care of the entire stay of the guests at the villa. In case the number of expected guests is large then one could even consider having more than one manager for the job. These Bali Villas would do well to entertain only quality when it comes to the managers because the job, as simple as it might look, is a difficult one. The guests of the villa can also be guided on tours and trips they could make outside the villa to explore the city and its cultures and heritage. Bali Villas should, thus, secure a grand reception and stay for the guests.

Real Belonging

I belong to our town band. We have a tendency to're a assortment of odds and ends who each plays a musical instrument of one kind or another. Mostly we all played our instruments after we were in grade faculty, and then put them in storage for several years till retiring to the tiny mountain valley where we all live. Each instrument could be a bit tarnished and definitely the youngest is a lot of than middle aged. As an example, my saxophone is older than I am.

We have a tendency to have drums, a baritone, tuba, clarinet, saxophone, two or 3 trumpets, relying on the day, 2 flutes (3 when a guest from out of city is staying with a relative), a keyboard, and eventually, we have a tendency to have 2 instruments you do not typically see in a very band; an accordion and a home-made instrument that does not have a name. It is a single heavy-gauge string tied to a wood shovel handle hooked up to a plastic bucket for the sounding board, all on a picket plywood base about 18 inches square.

It makes a real thrumming sound that adds to the percussion of the drums.

We have a tendency to don't march. We have a tendency to sit... and play. We tend to play twice a year. On the fourth of July, we have a tendency to arise early and get on the back of a trailer and are pulled around our very little mountain valley (full-time population 120, summer vacation population 800 - a lot of or less relying on the weekend and the holiday). We tend to wake everyone up around 7:00am and then we have a tendency to all gather right down to the New England style church (engineered in 1868) and have additional music by the band, a very little program, and after all breakfast for everybody within the community.

The complete-time residents came from all over the United States to measure in this small community.

The half-time residents principally return from the encompassing communities and cities from which they escape on hot summer days or once they want to play within the snow within the winter.

The simplest factor about it, though, is the feeling that exists in the valley. People usually comment on feeling how peaceful, serene and something else... they simply can't put their finger on it.

I assume it's as a result of of the individuals themselves; from people who initial settled the valley and every one those who've come ever since. They've come from everywhere and they've gotten along... as a result of they want to.

There are different religions, nationalities, political persuasions, and ages. One factor all of them have in common is their love for our very little valley. We tend to unite in several common causes, such as clean-ups, fundraisers, barn dances, potlucks, sicknesses, surgeries, and celebrations. And yes, we have a tendency to probably apprehend each others' business too much.

Still, our love for the sensation we have a tendency to've all helped produce, and the desire we tend to have to take care of it, keeps us together. We have differences, yes, however we tend to don't worry an excessive amount of concerning settling things that may't be settled. Instead we all simply target being tolerant, obtaining along, and enjoying the things we tend to share rather than worry concerning the things we don't.

Flipping House

The term flipping house is used to described purchasing revenue generating asset and quickly reselling it for profit. Sometimes others thought (new to this business) that in this kind of business, you are excluded in paying capital gain. Well you don’t need to pay capital gain if it is not for reselling purpose or you will be living in the house you are buying.

When you venture to this kind of business, you need to be ready with all the necessary information. If you are tight budget type, you need to reconsider, because there are some unexpected expenses that come along the way. Normally the process is for sale houses in a good location, good neighborhood and good ambiance. Eager to buy it, you will contact the real estate agent, remember you have competitor in buying that house, which surely thinking the same thing ‘profit’.

If you are an old timer investor who knows what houses are going to be marketable or houses that are ‘selling like hot cakes’, you can already do flipping house. Once you bid, real estate agents will check on all the offer. Sometimes there are some buyers who are best in using aggressive approach - approach that could be annoying like buyer keeps on calling even to the agents house, calling on the real owner of the house or giving some story on how badly they want to buy and renovate the house, and surprisingly agent will give in, even there are better offer. For the investor, there is a lot of work to be done, although it already planned on how it will end up or look like after the changes and renovation.

Good investors don’t just buy houses for flipping, but also, they are looking for persons who will probably work with them at affordable price. You can research that even one knows how to draw and lay out things, he still hires a draftsman because he doesn’t have a license. Make sure to check even the draftsman you are going to hire - sometimes you can hire a draftsman who is not too expensive, which will help you indeed with your budget. And there are some draftsmen, who have some architecture background or maybe taking up architecture at the same time, so he will provide some suggestion or idea, you will find it brilliant and unique, and will adopt it.

Flipping house is truly a good type of investment, knowing your budget and your plan with the house - surely it will become a profit.

Find commercial real estate listings

Do you know where to find commercial real estate listings? Please note that you are at the right place. On our listings you can all buy house cheap such as real estate apartments, beach houses etc. Have you ever come across a property or home owner who wants much money to be paid for the property? Welcome to the real world, it happens all the time to real estate experts. The question is would you like to see our listings or not? Do you take the listings or not? Will the customer reduce the cost to a more realistic level quickly so the listing does not stagnate on the market?

The pricing difficulty arises because most property owners think that they paid a good cost for the property and they want their money back plus an extra.

In their view time escalates the assets value (even if it is only a few years!). In their view prices do not go back when it comes to their wonderful assets. Well the conflicting is the case and prices do go backward for all sorts of reasons. The recent global monetary crisis in many countries has proven that.

Keep in mind that you do not have to list a property just because the client wants to list it with you or your agency. Protect your time and protect your status. Remember that an unsold property that is on the market for a long time will have impact on your reputation. It is better to be known for listing and selling a few good properties than listing lots of poor listings that are expensive

Before you take the expensive listing on there are a couple of considerations that you are required to make given that it's your time that will be taken in the marketing of the expensive property.

Take into consideration these questions:
Would it be better to let some other mediators take the listing at the inflated price and waste their time?
Can you come in later after the other mediator has remained unsuccessful with the property, thereby allowing you to condition the seller to a more reasonable price?
Will the client lessen the price quickly and soon if enquiry is low?
What range will the client drop the price to if they are to make the property more commercial?
How long have you got the listing for and is it long enough to match the customer to the market?

My theory is that the customers are not always right when it comes to price and the way to challenge them on their price theory is to propose that they put the property up for sale at public sale. Tell the client that the public sale method is the best way to get the best price that exists in the market today.

If the client is serious on selling the property and if they think their property is as good as they make it out to be, then they will not be frightened of the public sale process. One final thing needs to be said and done here. The broker funded marketing campaigns are necessary and the money for that campaign has to be paid before you start the marketing.

Villa Holidays

Villa holidays can feature many of the key elements that make up the perfect break – comfortable and private accommodation, peaceful and attractive surroundings and great weather hopefully.

Holidays are made up of a combination of many factors, all of which contribute to a great experience if things turn out well. For different people this combination of elements will vary. While some will prefer an active holiday resort, full of attractions and organised events, others will go for the opposite, opting for a remote spot where peace and quiet is the signature of every day. Sun and sand beach holidays are chosen by millions every year, while the beauty and seclusion of the high mountains is something others return to regularly.

The key components of any holiday typically include the weather and the type of accommodation, but food quality, service levels, good company, seaside opportunities, local sightseeing, sporting options and attractive scenery are all ranked as important.

In selecting a holiday from a travel brochure or website we make judgements on what we are purchasing based on the information available. We study the hotel features, check websites that cover the local area and read reviews posted by previous visitors. Once we make a selection and book the holiday, we are then relying on the accuracy of that information and the quality of the travel company to make sure our holiday turns out well. Certain elements are then out of our control, the weather of course, but also the standard of the hotel and the food it provides, the service levels provided by the hotel staff and of course whether we get on with the other hotel residents. If we have been to a resort or hotel before then we may know what we are getting, but for new locations a certain amount of uncertainty remains and it is that uncertainty that many people feel uncomfortable about.

By opting for a villa holiday, much of that uncertainty is taken away and a high degree of flexibility and control is returned to the holidaymaker, and that perhaps is one of the key attractions of this type of holiday.

Once we have found and booked the type of villa we want, many of the remaining holiday components remain totally under our control, except for the weather of course. We can choose what we want to do everyday and when we do it. We can get up early and enjoy the sunrise or perhaps have a lie in and recharge our batteries without being disturbed. We can choose what to eat and when we want to eat, not being restricted by hotel timetables. One favourite option is to visit a nearby market, purchase some regional produce and try out a local recipe. If we don’t want to cook for ourselves we can pick a local restaurant to try and if it does not meet our standards we are quite free to choose a different one the next day. If the villa has its own private swimming pool we can opt to sit around it all day, undisturbed by others or we can pack a few things and head down to the local beach.

Cost is also a factor when it comes to booking a villa holiday. Unlike some other types of holiday accommodation, villas are usually priced per property, so for larger families or groups of friends a villa can prove to be a very cost effective choice. If you like your space and can afford to rent a large villa, then you’ll enjoy the luxury of having the whole property to yourself, with rooms to relax in, eat in, sleep in, plus all the outdoor space. In some cases you may be left to your own devices for the entire duration of your stay. In many cases a housekeeper will visit the property once or twice each week and in the case of luxury serviced villas, you may even have fulltime staff or a dedicated cook.

Choice is the key element of villa holidays and as well as there being many different villas to choose from, once your holiday has started the ability to tailor it and choose exactly what you do remains throughout.

On the other hand, prices have dropped by about 10% to 15% in the mid- to low-income segment since the onset of the global crisis, partly due to the sharp decline in construction costs and the developers’ willingness to accept lower profit margins to secure a sale.

Demand for Lebanese real estate come from three main groups.

Local residents, whose appetite grows apace
Wealthy Lebanese expatriates
Foreign investors, mainly Arab nationals. UAE investors made up 41.9% of total Arab investments inLebanon in 2008, at LBP1.65 trillion (US.1 billion).

Small-sized to medium-sized properties in Beirut and Mount Lebanon are in demand. Sales are dominated byproperties with areas between 150 sqm to 300 sqm. Beirut accounted for about 52.4% of Lebanon’s 2009 transactions by value, followed by Metn (19.2%), Kesrouan (12.3%), North Lebanon (6.8%) and South Lebanon (5.8%). Property sales are expected to rise further, as demand continues strong, and the economic outlook is bullish. Most buyers pay cash, or benefit from pre-selling schemes. Homebuyers purchase anapartment unit during the construction phase, put a down payment and make monthly installments until theproject is completed.
Housing loans have traditionally only been available to the developers of new properties. Yet today, several banks have begun offering mortgage loans directly to homebuyers. In 2008, the Lebanese mortgage market grew to 6% of GDP, from an average of 4.9% from 2004 to 2007. Outstanding housing loans totaled LBP2.66 trillion (US.77 billion) in 2008, up 34% from a year earlier. Interest rates for housing loans are usually tied to the US prime rate or LIBOR, with a fixed percentage added, and currently 5.9%. The loan-to-value (LTV) ratio ranges from 50% to 85% of the appraised value or actual purchase price of the property (whichever is lower). The term period is usually from 20 to 30 years. Lebanese banks require both life and house insurance from loan applicants.

Gross rental yields in residential housing have fallen from over 11% five years ago, to under 4% in 2009.  Larger apartments are on especially unattractive valuations, with rental yields lower than 3%. In Beirut, the average monthly rent ranges from LBP2.23 million (US,488) for a 150 sqm apartment to LBP13.75 million (US,158) for a 750 sqm apartment. Average rents for the market as a whole are lowered by the survival of many pre-1992 contracts, creating a class of sitting tenants paying low rents, who cannot be evicted except at great cost (see Lebanon’s Landlord and Tenant Law).  However this law does not affect post-1992 contracts, which are equally balanced between landlord and tenant. (The Global Property Guide’s research only covers current offers for sale and offers to rent, not existing contracts).While many countries slipped into recession in 2008, the Lebanese economy grew by a spectacular 8.5%, the highest rate for 15 years. In 2009 growth of 6% is predicted to be reported, up from an earlier projection of 3%. Inflation is expected to be 2.5% in 2009, down from 10.8% in 2008, based on the latest forecast from the IMF. In August 2009, the balance of payments (BOP) recorded a surplus of LBP1.53 trillion (US.02 billion). For the first 8 months of 2009, Lebanon accumulated a surplus of about LBP6.56 trillion (US.37 billion), more than double the same period last year (US.0 billion). Total construction permits, an indicator of future activity, rose 23% to 6.27 million sq. m. in the first half of 2009 from 5.1 million sq. m. from the same period last year, according to the Order of Engineers of Beirut and Tripoli. The surge in construction permits was a response to increasing housing demand. In 2008, constructionpermits (measured in terms of area) rose by an astonishing 79% to 16.1 million sq. m., from an average of 4.1% for the past two years. Cement deliveries, also a gauge of the state of the construction sector, increased 7.7% to 4.2 million tons in 2008. About 70% of the country’s total population owns their homes.

Trading Blocks

Trading blocks of residential property between developers and project builders is a great investment strategy. Being able to successfully identify and capitalize on these investment opportunities is crucial to successfully using property options.

Property Developers are eager to sell their land fast to increase their profits, so by creating a strong sales path we help the Developers achieve their goals.

By creating volume for the developers we can then ask for discounts.

An example of this in action is where a Developer needs pre-sales in order to be approved for finance for the development of their upcoming real estate. The developer is seeking approximately 35% pre-sales to qualify for finance; this is where an opportunity arises for investors to profit.

Mark Rolton is a Property Options expert who has made millions using these and other techniques of trading blocks. He teaches how to successfully trade blocks as well as heaps of other property investment tools at his 3 day seminar – Real Estate University.

Open Houses

One of the most talked about tactics in selling real estate is the open house. In years gone by the open house was a staple tactic of selling real estate. However in recent years the "just looking" trend has brought some unfortunate attention on what has traditionally been a great marketing tool. Many people have asked if the open house still holds any value in today's real estate market. The simple truth is that it does.

When a home goes on the market there is a complex series of events that goes into motion. This is of course, referring to the marketing plan that the agent has devised for the home or property in question. Truly, in years past open houses were responsible for a lot of home sales. Then again, at that time you did not get a lot of unqualified lookers taking up valuable time. Now, a note should be made that there are typically two different open houses that take place.

The one that happens before the home is openly listed is for other agents. This viewing is for other agents who service the same area as the listing agent. As one could imagine this is an important showing as these other agents represent numerous buyers who are currently looking in your area.

The more traditional open house typically happens on a weekend when the majority of people are available to view homes. It is the realtor's job to ensure that viewers are of the qualified variety. There will be a number of "looky loos" but that is really unavoidable. An open house can be a definitive mind changer for someone who is interested in the home. Perhaps they have seen it online already and seeing it in person will be the experience that changes their minds for the better.

Many buyers would rather come to an open house before setting an appointment to see the home as there is little pressure during an open house, and a level of anonymity that is not really possible with an appointment. Open houses are an important part of the selling process, do not underestimate their worth.

New House?! Wooden House!

Also, if you calculate the time of construction, insulation and construction of plants and the period not very happy in terms of socio-economic times tend to become biblical and inconvenient.
But it seems that a new solution, logical and innovative by nature ... is coming! Many people decide in a very special home that has many advantages and seems to be regarded as the way forward in the future: old wooden houses. And we must not think that wooden house is synonymous with a tool shed or cottage garden because now the work is so professional and peculiar that wooden houses are made real and not just in the mountains. This type of building construction it is used now in any area, whether for new construction of single family homes, detached but also for extensions of existing housing. Not only that, many companies offer wood construction suitable for use as businesses or even homes as condominiums or studios can be used both as dwellings and as offices.

The advantages are certainly numerous. The first is certainly the cost savings: the wood is a material that costs less than brick requires less processing and adapts to the place where the property is located by varying the type of wood treatment and based on factors such as temperature , humidity and other external agents. All in complete safety for the local people then he must live without the use of toxic paints or products that can cause allergies and intolerances.

Other savings is certainly of ecological costs such as heating and cooling. The wood in fact, whatever type it is very insulating, so you can maintain the desired temperature for longer in the isolated house outside. Just think that 10 inches of wood island as 70-80 cm of concrete, even without the savings calculator at hand is clear and conspicuous. But not everything is in fact a wooden house is also very safe, the elasticity of material fact, give this home an excellent seismic resistance and, despite widespread knowledge contrary, its fire resistance is another of many other materials synthetics that are used inside the homes of today.
If it leads to time-sensitive investment is even more interesting. Think how much a team of workers for a week and calculated that the installation of wooden house enough that four people can do in less than a month in total safety and professionalism. And if we add that any member of the house can be made of wood such as wooden ladders for domestic savings is guaranteed.

A final factor, but not least, contributes to the fact that the choice of many people fall now in wooden houses: the aesthetics. House with wood or wood profiles, however small it may be, is always welcoming, warm and family atmosphere and unmistakable that no protective stone house will never give giving that extra touch of personality and uniqueness to your home.

Bargained Houses

It is everybody's desire to find a bargain in real estate market. The best option is to look for bargained houses turning into foreclosure. It is also the best source for getting big profit in house selling since you will get enviable discounts.

When homeowners are in serious dilemma about their property financial obligation most likely the house will end into foreclosure and since homeowners doesn't want to have a bad impression on their financial credibility they will become a motivated seller and are willing to sell their house at a lower price than the actual market value.

Generally affected property owners will be given a grace period to repay their mortgage installment. It actually depends on the state where the house is located. If homeowners responsibility is not compensated then that's the time the lender will file up for foreclosure.

The foreclosure process exercises the rights of a loaner to take hold of the property and sell it to public auction in order to recover their debt.

Bargained houses are available in government. Failing to meet financial act to government loan are treated the same way as to other loaner and banks treat their clients. The property is reclaimed and becomes a property of the government. These homes are a good source for investors since they are available mostly at bargain price.

Tax foreclosure homes are another good source of bargained houses. The IRS is rigidly accurate in collecting property taxes and when it comes to liens they are a major holder that even replaced the lender on lien over mortgage.

Lawyers specialized in divorce; real estate and bankruptcy are great source of cheap and bargained houses.

They will always have a bargained houses lead. Approach and work with them. Attorneys love to accept referral fees legally.

Another source is the foreclosed homes from real estate owned (REO). The positive thing about REO's is that you will have an idea of what the house look like because you are able to check it before it is being bid and the bad side is that banks would sell the house to the highest bidder, meaning they always get the highest amount to cover the foreclosure losses, not the housing market price though.

There are many sources of bargained houses it is just a matter of how you work and how motivated you are as an investor. Bear in mind that time matters in investing with these properties. Having the leads doesn't secure success. Be wise enough as an investor; be strategic on how you market. Build good reputation in every deal you make.
