Is Egypt’s Real Estate Sector Really Worth Investing In?

Feb 5

Posted by admin in Real Estate

Oh how I love a question that’s so easy to answer?is Egypt’s real estate sector really worth investing in?

Too right it is!

There are so many positive aspects of the property market in Egypt that make the entire sector an exciting place to be right now that anyone serious about venturing into an emerging overseas real estate market should be focused on Egypt for at least the medium term.

First things first let’s remove the confusion ? Egypt is not a country plagued by terrorism, drought or famine ? it’s a stunningly beautiful, ancient and interesting country with a coastline that is brushed and caressed by both the Mediterranean and Red seas. It is also one of the most exciting and exotic countries in closest proximity to Europe giving investors a massive potential tourist audience to target; it is also a country that can genuinely boast year round sunshine on its Red Sea Riviera which means it offers investors year round potential for profit.

If these are not reasons enough alone for a property investor to get curious about Egypt, how about the fact that Dubai based mega property developers Emaar have just committed millions of dollars to the Egyptian residential real estate market place in Cairo? Or what about the fact that the Egyptian government have slashed property related taxation costs to make the whole process of owning real estate in Egypt that much more affordable for more people?

You can add to this the fact that inward foreign direct investment into Egypt is at an all time high, the country is receiving higher annual visitor intake than ever before and the country is enjoying its best relationships with Western governments in documented history if you like.

Furthermore the amount of investment and economic confidence in Egypt is opening up a wealthy and growing middle class sector who are keen to afford property for sale and rent in Cairo and Alexandria in particular, and this gives an investor a local resale market to target in the medium term which further boosts the long term potential of an investment made into the real estate sector which is currently dominated by the tourism market.

It’s a fact that the highest rental incomes achievable for a real estate investor in Egypt right now are from tourist friendly properties along the Red Sea and Mediterranean coastlines ? properties that are well located and facilitated are most in demand from the tourism market looking for short term lets. But there’s also a growing retirement market in Egypt that’s attracting great attention and giving real estate investors another potential revenue stream to explore.

Egypt really is the place to be for real estate investors looking for immediate income and medium to long term capital growth and resale potential – and because the property buying process for foreigners in Egypt has become more affordable and more transparent in very recent years, the numbers of investors examining the market and exploring its possibilities is set to rise and rise.

The Most Exciting Property Market in Europe

Feb 1

Posted by admin in Real Estate

Montenegro, poised on the brink of EU accession acceptance, is undoubtedly the most exciting country in Europe for property investors today.

The wealth of potential in the market stems from the fact that real estate in Montenegro is massively undervalued, it is growing in demand from those seeking an affordable holiday home in the sun, Montenegro is growing in popularity as a holiday destination, the country is aligned for EU acceptance and the local economic reforms entered into by the government of Montenegro are resulting in strong and sustainable levels of foreign direct investment.

The climate in the property market in Montenegro right now is therefore incredibly ripe and it is attracting real estate investors from around the world.

Immediate gains can be realised from the rental of suitable coastal properties to the fledgling but burgeoning tourism market, with longer term rental income likely from well appointed and located apartments in the main towns in this tiny gem of a European country.

Medium to long term the property market in Montenegro is likely to reward a patient investor with substantial capital growth because as the local economy is boosted by inward foreign direct investment, so the numbers of companies relocating to Montenegro increases and so the demand for properties to purchase goes up. Furthermore as the local economy is strengthened and the local people become wealthier in real terms, they will present an investor with a second tier to the market to target over the medium to longer term.

Montenegro was once a country frequented by the European glitterati, the famous, the beautiful, the royals and the rich, but many years of strife resulted in the oppression and depression of a nation and its people. Thankfully gone are the days when Montenegro suffered at the hands of the war hungry and Montenegro and its neighbouring countries have settled down so much that they are all either fully fledged members of the European Union or poised on the brink of entry. The years during which the country suffered are over and the unrivalled wealth of stunning architectural and geographical beauty that Montenegro is home to is once again drawing the crowds from across Europe.

Montenegro is truly a beautiful gem of a nation and one that is beginning to shine and sparkle once again making it the perfect place for property investors seeking substantial potential for profits and gains.

Should You Become A Landlord

Dec 30

Posted by admin in Real Estate

Benefits from real estate also sometimes take extra steps and responsibilities. If you are thinking of becoming involved in real estate, then you may also be looking at the job title of landlord. While this is a good way to make an investment and a living, you will want to consider several things before designating yourself to this job.

Before beginning the process of becoming a landlord, you will want to make sure that you can profit from it. This means finding the right place for potential tenants and having the ability to market and find the right demographics that you may want in your home. Having the ability to reach out to the right people can help you if you are thinking about renting property to others.

If you decide to become a landlord, you will want to make sure that you are made for it. You will want to ask yourself whether you are fit to deal with different personalities from tenants. Paying rent late, taking advantage of the property, and other problems will often arise. This causes maintenance and upkeep of different rental areas to be part of the job. You will want to make sure that you can handle different situations effectively and make sure that you can find the right way to take care of the different needs for everyone in the area.

Of course, becoming a landlord could be beneficial for you. If you have the right people in the right place, you won’t have to do much work and will only have to collect the rent. Most landlords, if they have a larger amount of property, will have hired help such as property managers in order to handle extra problems that may arise. If you are able to invest and grow enough this way, then you will have the ability to take a year long vacation while the rent is collected.

If you are one that wants to work with renting property and collecting extra profit from it, then becoming a landlord is a good option for you to consider. By finding someone else to live on your property, you will have the ability to collect rent instead of pay it.

Automated Forex Trading Double Your Profits

Dec 18

Posted by admin in Currency Trading

Automated Forex trading is precisely what it sounds like. A sophisticated software uses mathematical algorithms to determine when to buy and sell currency, and it makes the trades for you. You put a preliminary investment into the account, and then let the system do all of the work for you. Some money stockholders are finding it advantageous to do Currency exchange trading thru automated FOREX trading systems. It may appear dangerous to let a software select when to buy and sell currency, but automated trading can often be more safe than doing it yourself. Humans are subject to blunder, to misreading charts, and to overlooking information.

Humans can also let their emotions get in the way of making smart choices, like the gambler who loses everything as he just can’t tear himself away from the table. An automated trading program has none of those issues. With the software doing it for you, it’s as if you were always watching every market, noticing each trend, right away researching all available info, and making the smartest decisions. Forex is profitable because countrywide currencies vary from day to day primarily based on prophecies of the state’s GDP and other things. As with the stock market, the concept with the foreign exchange is to buy low and sell high : Buy a large amount of a particular currency when it is weak, then sell it should it become stronger.

There is a cost for this, naturally. Most brokers that offer it need a minimum investment of many thousand bucks or more, and they may charge money on top of that. Some brokers include foreign exchange alerts as a part of their service, whilst others charge for them. Some are a part of a wider alert program that also handles your stocks and bonds. You can tailor the sort of alerts you get based primarily on if you are a conservative or aggressive trader, and how actively you plan to trade. But the advantages of automated Foreign exchange trading can be great. While manual trading needs a backer to observe the market intensely before jumping in to it, automated trading needs no training at all.

Learn the basics of how the market works so you can tell what your automatic system is doing for you, and that is it. Relax and let it make your money work for you. Automated trading is also helpful for companies and other establishments that need to diversify their assets but do not have the time or resources to devote to Foreign exchange trading.If a program can do it for you, there’s no real need to have one of your workers handle it, right? That is, the algorithms inspect past market performance and general trends and base their trading choices on that, not on external factors such as politics and green issues, that may affect a nation’s currency.

However , automated trading has proved to be very effective and correct for many investors, liberating their schedules to target other stuff.

Triple Treat Stocks

Dec 12

Posted by admin in Real Estate

Are you a dividend lover? Perhaps growth or value is your pleasure? No matter, these nine outfits have it all, says S&P

Is is possible to find one group of stocks that satisfies two distinct camps of investors? In the spirit of the holidays, this week’s screen will try to bring cheer to both growth and income fans.

Our first stop: income. Many investors like the comfort of regular dividend checks — which is like getting paid to own a stock, according to our colleagues at S&P’s The Outlook newsletter. The stocks on our list had to have a dividend yield greater than 2.5%, well above the market average.

PANNING FOR GOLD  Then we prospected for some growth names. After all, who wouldn’t mind some good earnings growth to go along with a nice dividend? We sifted for those issues with a projected five-year EPS growth rate greater than 8%.

Then we went to some in-house investing tools to enhance the appeal of the names on our list. Each issue had to carry a ranking of either 4 STARS (buy) or 5 STARS (strong buy) from Standard & Poor’s Equity Research. S&P equity analysts expect stocks with those designations to outperform the overall market over the next 6 to 12 months. We then looked for those issues with an S&P Quality Ranking of at least A, based on dividend and earnings over the past 10 years.

Glossary
S&P STARS: Since January 1, 1987, Standard & Poor’s Equity Research Services has ranked a universe of common stocks based on a given stock’s potential for future performance. Under proprietary STARS (STock Appreciation Ranking System), S&P equity analysts rank stocks according to their individual forecast of a stock’s future capital appreciation potential versus the expected performance of a relevant benchmark (e.g., a regional index (S&P Asia 50 Index, S&P Europe 350 Index or S&P 500 Index), based on a 12-month time horizon. STARS was designed to meet the needs of investors looking to put their investment decisions in perspective.

S&P Earnings & Dividend Rank (also known as S&P Quality Rank): Growth and stability of earnings and dividends are deemed key elements in establishing S&P’s earnings and dividend rankings for common stocks, which are designed to capsulize the nature of this record in a single symbol. It should be noted, however, that the process also takes into consideration certain adjustments and modifications deemed desirable in establishing such rankings. The final score for each stock is measured against a scoring matrix determined by analysis of the scores of a large and representative sample of stocks.

S&P Issuer Credit Rating: A Standard & Poor’s Issuer Credit Rating is a current opinion of an obligor’s overall financial capacity (its creditworthiness) to pay its financial obligations. This opinion focuses on the obligor’s capacity and willingness to meet its financial commitments as they come due. It does not apply to any specific financial obligation, as it does not take into account the nature of and provisions of the obligation, its standing in bankruptcy or liquidation, statutory preferences, or the legality and enforceability of the obligation. In addition, it does not take into account the creditworthiness of the guarantors, insurers, or other forms of credit enhancement on the obligation. The Issuer Credit Rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell, or hold a financial obligation issued by an obligor, as it does not comment on market price or suitability for a particular investor. Issuer Credit Ratings are based on current information furnished by obligors or obtained by Standard & Poor’s from other sources it considers reliable. Standard & Poor’s does not perform an audit in connection with any Issuer Credit Rating and may, on occasion, rely on unaudited financial information. Issuer Credit Ratings may be changed, suspended, or withdrawn as a result of changes in, or unavailability of, such information, or based on other circumstances.

S&P Core Earnings: Standard & Poor’s Core Earnings is a uniform methodology for calculating operating earnings, and focuses on a company’s after-tax earnings generated from its principal businesses. Included in the Standard & Poor’s definition are employee stock option grant expenses, pension costs, restructuring charges from ongoing operations, write-downs of depreciable or amortizable operating assets, purchased research and development, M&A related expenses and unrealized gains/losses from hedging activities. Excluded from the definition are pension gains, impairment of goodwill charges, gains or losses from asset sales, reversal of prior-year charges and provision from litigation or insurance settlements.

S&P 12 Month Target Price: The S&P equity analyst’s projection of the market price a given security will command 12 months hence, based on a combination of intrinsic, relative, and private market valuation metrics.

Standard & Poor’s Equity Research Services: Standard & Poor’s Equity Research Services U.S. includes Standard & Poor’s Investment Advisory Services LLC; Standard & Poor’s Equity Research Services Europe includes Standard & Poor’s LLC- London and Standard & Poor’s AB (Sweden); Standard & Poor’s Equity Research Services Asia includes Standard & Poor’s LLC’s offices in Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo.

Required Disclosures

In the U.S.
As of September 30, 2005, research analysts at Standard & Poor’s Equity Research Services U.S. have recommended 28.7% of issuers with buy recommendations, 60.3% with hold recommendations and 11.0% with sell recommendations.

In Europe
As of September 30, 2005, research analysts at Standard & Poor’s Equity Research Services Europe have recommended 34.8% of issuers with buy recommendations, 44.8% with hold recommendations and 20.4% with sell recommendations.

Are You Committed To Your Real Estate Investment

Nov 18

Posted by admin in Real Estate

There are many questions that should be asked before embarking upon a career of real estate investment. The first and foremost question however should be whether or not you are truly committed to making real estate work for you. This is not a business for the faint of heart. In order to truly turn a profit you must be at times ruthless when dealing with buyers and sellers but ethical to a fault when it comes to the work that must often be done in order to get a property in sellable condition.

The reason a serious commitment is needed in order to make real estate work for you is simple. There will be ups and downs along the way. The stock market experiences rises and falls on a regular basis. Just as you cannot dump all of your stock over one bad day the same holds true even more so in the realm of real estate investing. Property values in general rise gradually over time. This means that even if the values in a community falter chances are that they will eventually recover.

Those who bank on the slow and steady growth in the value are referred to as buy and hold investors. These investors are truly committed to their investment. Some of them elect to hold the property as a vacation property while others opt to earn an income on the property by renting it out to other families or vacationers, whatever their choice may be.

This is a great way for many people to enjoy the luxury of a vacation property without absorbing all of the expenses involved in owning a vacation property as the rentals will help compensate some of the costs when the owners (investors) are not in residence. This is a fairly common practice in high demand tourist areas in which people often enjoy vacationing. These types of investors are what some people refer to as serious real estate investors though all real estate investors need to take their purchases seriously.

Those who own rental properties must also be committed to making their investments work for them. Rental properties are not a ‘hands off’ type of investment, as they will need to be maintained in order to remain in demand by tenants. You must also make constant efforts to keep these properties managed and filled along with remaining certain that you are collecting your rent each month and that the properties aren’t falling into a state of disrepair or abuse by tenants.

Many investors retain the services of property management agencies in order to handle the minutia of month-to-month details and collections. This is a great idea whether you have one lone rental property or a vast portfolio of rental properties. Even better however, is the fact that if you keep your rental properties in reasonable repair throughout the years they can become liquid assets in time. In other words, they may actually pay for themselves a few times over if you invest for the long-term rather than focusing on the moment.

No matter what type of real estate investment you intend to have it is important that you are prepared to make the commitment to profit or profitability that is necessary in order for your venture to be deemed a success.
