Find your property

Find your property by seoguru

France offers an enormous variety of landscapes, climate, lifestyle, property, prices and access. Before you start searching for French property you really need to research everything the country has to offer and decide where you want to buy. The danger of not doing the research is that you may find yourself, like many a house hunter I have met over the years, spending 3 months each year in a camper van touring France, going round and round, getting more and more confused as prices continue to go up and up.



I remember the story told to me by some clients concerning another client (Mr. Smith) whom I had worked with. I had spent two days with Mr. Smith who had insisted on videoing every property I showed him. At the end of the two days he had found nothing suitable. My next clients, who happened to be on the same campsite as Mr. Smith, told me that he had spent 8 weeks looking for property that year and went back every evening to add his new finds to his video collection which he then offered to show anyone on the campsite who might be interested. This was his third year of doing this and he had images of 362 properties in his collection. I wondered whether he would ever find anything that was right for him.



Three years later, quite by chance, I heard that Mr. Smith had finally found the right property, a small house in the middle of a field. Having bought it, he then had his planning permission turned down to take any services to it! He had found his ideal home but could never live in it!



What further proof could there be that years of searching do not necessarily bring the results you may want. Talking to the experts is likely to be much more fruitful.



You can research on the web, buy books and magazines, watch television, talk to friends and make some targeted visits to possible areas. However, it all takes time and money and in a property market, which has experienced price increases in excess of 20% in the last 2 years and predicted growth for 2006 of more than 10%, any delay on making the decision about an area can be costly.



Be aware that many television programmes currently being shown were filmed 5 years or more ago. Prices described on these programmes are hopelessly out of date. Prices generally in France have doubled in this time period.



Our highly experienced, trained sales advisers at VEF are on hand on the telephone, in our offices and at exhibitions to give you all the advice you need. Each of them has lived in France, has frequent training visits to different regions and is passionate about everything the country has to offer. They know the country, its properties and their prices. If you can tell them the type of lifestyle you are looking for, the purpose of the purchase and the budget they will be able to tell you which area or areas are suitable for you. You can then focus your research on just those areas, saving time and money.

Real Estate Income Property Investing in Canada

Real Estate Income Property Investing in Canada by Lance_Fish2

Real estate is one of the oldest forms of investing known to man. It is easy, once you know how to invest in real estate. As an investor, you’ll purchase a number of houses or pieces of land at a very low price. If you develop it properly, then say ten years later you can sell the land for a profit. This means that you will sell it for more than what you initially paid for it.



Real estate investing can be done in any part of the world. The world population is growing and expanding on a continuous basis. This means that now, more than ever, there are people buying land and property. Land prices continue to rise in Canada, and that means that real estate will continue to be one of the best investment opportunities in the country. One website ideal for investors looking for cash flow and also allows for buying and selling cash flow properties is http://www.incomepropertycanada.com



Real estate offers greater profit potential, compared to other forms of investment. Not every piece of land will always turn out to be a winner. Despite the great potential in profit, some cases are high risks. So you will want to be sure to carefully research and study your real estate investments.



One problem that many real estate investors face is lack of liquidity. Liquid assets are those that can be easily converted into cash. This is similar to stocks and bonds. Most real estate investments can take years before you can actually make a profit. So it is not the best decision to tie up all of your assets in real estate investments. Your financial situation will be an indicator as to how much you can wisely invest in properties and real estate.



Many people do not understand the difference between investors and speculators. Speculators buy land with the intentions to make a very quick sale and fast profits. They will not hold land for a long period of time. An investor, looks for long –term profits. They will usually buy only what he can afford to keep for an indefinite period of time.



If you are a new in this field, you will want to refrain from doing any speculation until you become more informed. You will need to devote a considerable amount of time to study and research your property investment prospects. It is also wise to network and consult with others who are doing things, especially specialists.



If you currently own a home, then you’ve already made a very successful investment. Before searching for areas to invest, you will need to consider the condition of your own house. If you plan on selling your home, good landscaping and cleanliness have been known to considerably increase the value of your home.



Buying run-down homes and restoring them for selling or renting purposes can reap profits. The advantages of selling are that you can build up equity. The advantages of renting are that you can build a stream of positive cash flow. But, before you do this, you will need to consider some factors and do the math including a margin of safety.



One of them is that you must know something about the architecture of the home. You need to get an idea of how much it will cost to remodel the house and fix it up. You want to improve the house but not over improve it. You will also need to evaluate the neighborhood of the house. Study the shopping areas, schools, transportation facilities, and people in the neighborhood carefully.



By carefully doing your research when it comes to real estate investing, you will be able to systematically set up steady streams of income.
