INVESTMENT POTENTIAL FOR NRIS
12.22.08 (4:39 am)   [edit]
At a time when the global financial crisis is impacting the real estate sector across the globe, NRIs are invariably in a dilemma about where to put their money in real estate. The local accommodation laws in countries like Dubai have compelled thousands of expatriate Indians to send their families back home due to soaring housing costs. This is why it makes sense for expatriate Indians abroad to invest in Indian real estate to meet any contingencies. Http://www.zameen-zaidad.com/ Barring Dubai, West Asia does not encourage expatriate investments in housing. Anyway, not all NRIs can afford to invest in local housing. There are different kinds of NRI investors looking for investments in real estate back home. What is ideal for one group may or may not fit in to the investment category for others. However, a cursory glance at the options will enable them to take a pragmatic approach to the investment exercise. The government regulations prohibit investments in categories like agricultural land, farmland/farmhouse and plantation properties. Those who have inherited such property from relatives can retain them. But to dispose them off, one needs to follow certain ground rules laid down by the authorities. For NRI end users who are planning to eventually return home, investments in residential property would be the best option. As NRIs have been accustomed to living in places with good infrastructure facilities, investments in housing should be in cities which have educational, health and reemployment opportunities. NRIs could plan well to invest in greenfield projects which will reduce upfront payment liability. Home loans are available and banks have branched out to several countries to extend facilities to NRIs. With FDI in real estate, a number of integrated townships will dot the skyline in major cities. The entry of global realtors will herald a new era in housing with the introduction of global standards, integrating facilities like schools, mall, multiplex, office etc within the same complex. Returning NRIs who are looking for lifestyle projects should consider investments in such options. Investments in developed plots is yet another option for those seeking medium to long term options. Land value appreciates much faster than apartments in Indian cities. Those NRIs who are looking for investments purely as an investment option should consider peripheral or suburban areas where potential for land price appreciation is higher. For high net worth NRIs looking for periodical rental income, city properties would be the best option due to the demand for such units from varied sections of people including corporates, MNCs and serviced apartment operators. Fiscal benefits are available by way of interest rate concessions upto Rs 1.50 lakh and principal repayment upto Rs 1 lakh if home loans are availed to invest in immovable property. Wealth tax benefit is available if the residential property is let-out for a minimum period of 300 days in a calendar year. Commercial property is yet another option but it is ideal for those in the high income bracket and who can invest substantially in either office or retail units. Though current rental levels are dipping in view of the spurt in supply levels in select areas across the city, investments in green buildings or with better amenities would enable investors to obtain competitive rentals over a period of time. Commercial properties are completely exempt from wealth tax as the threshold limit for wealth tax is still retained at Rs 15 lakhs. Repatriation of investments in property is allowed upto two residential units after a lock-in-period of three years to the extent of original foreign exchange remitted through banking channels. NRIs can invest in real estate development both on repatriation and non-repatriation basis. A number of joint development options are now available where landlords are keen to forge strategic alliances. Courtesy:- HT Estates dtd:- 20th Dec. 2008

Successful Funda for real estate investment
11.12.08 (10:51 pm)   [edit]
This article will highlight three key areas that are important to succeed in investment real estate financing in your next real estate investment deal. Successful investment real estate financing has been done by many real estate investors for years. DLF and other real estate developers have used other people's money for years to finance the building of real estate projects so the key here is to learn how to finance your next acquisition and how to make more money in the process. 1. Your Prior experience A good prior job or some property management experience may help in your application for the mortgage. As strange as this may sound it may make perfect sense for the banker. If you can show that you are responsible at work and make him believe that you can manage the property and the rental, there is a high chance that you will be able to pay him. Thus successful investment real estate financing depends partly on the ability of the individual to convince the banker that you can manage the property and pay him on time. In conclusion, we have listed the three important keys to successful investment real estate financing that you might wish to consider when you next go to your banker to ask for investment real estate financing. Spend some time planning and thereafter take massive action to achieve your investment real estate financing goals today. 2. Your Credit History A person's credit in most cities is of vital importance to bankers today for the purpose of financing any real estate investment. The reason for this is that your personal credit history is used to judge your ability to pay your debts as they fall due. In most banking circles today especially in the cities, sometimes within 30 minutes to one hour of your default in payment, all banks would know of your financial inability to pay and your credit rating will drop. Thus when doing investment real estate financing, you might want to run a credit check on yourself so that you can figure out what the bankers would ask and you would have a ready reply for them. Thus a good credit history can help you in investment real estate financing. 3. The Property Finance Plan Successful Investment real estate financing should also come with a property finance plan. This plan would list how much in rental you will receive, details of the property and how much you want to borrow from the bank. The reason for this is that it will be easier to convince a bank officer about the potential of you paying his monthly installment if you can show him how much in terms of rental that you expect from the real estate investment in the first place and how much it measures out relative to your expected monthly installment. You could do a financing plan and then print several copies of this and bring it along to all the bankers that you meet. The more confident you are about the deal, the more confidence the banker would have in you as well. Log on to http://www.zameen-zaidad.com

Mortgage Options When Buying house & flats
11.01.08 (3:05 am)   [edit]
Here's another area where you have more options than in the past. When buying a house and http://www.zameen-zaidad.com”applying for a loan, you have a wider range of mortgage products to choose from today. While most of these loans fall into one of two categories (fixed or adjustable rate), there are many "hybrid" options as well. There are also all kinds of variations of the http://www.zameen-zaidad.com”fixed-rate and the adjustable-rate mortgages. Of all the topics covered so far, this is probably the most important. The type of home loan you choose will affect your financial future in many ways. And choosing the wrong mortgage (or buying over your head) could lead to disaster. Just ask the thousands of people who had their homes foreclosed on over 2007 - 2008. Many of them failed to do the proper research into mortgage loans before buying a house and taking a loan. I hope you have enjoyed this guide to buying a home in the modern economy. More importantly, I hope it helps you navigate the path to home ownership with greater ease. Good luck with your buying process.
 
Malls flats & House Buying Seminars
11.01.08 (3:04 am)   [edit]
Another rising trend I've seen in recent years is the number of house buying seminars being offered by http://www.zameen-zaidad.com”real estate agents and mortgage professionals. I'm actually glad that this is a rising trend, because in the past there has been a lack of consumer education on topics related to buying a house and applying for a loan. I think that today's real estate agents and mortgage lenders realize the need for consumer education, especially in light of the recent mortgage fiasco that helped send the country into a recession. The best way to find an event like this in your area is to do an Internet search with your city name and the words "home buying seminar." You should be able to come up with something
 
BUY A HOUSE, GET A LUXURY CAR FOR FREE
11.01.08 (3:03 am)   [edit]
http://www.zameen-zaidad.com”Builders Line up Fancy Freebies Your ''dream house'' now comes with a free Mercedes or BMW, or at least a few gold coins. In some cases, even a small flat is being thrown into the deal for those eyeing premium segment bungalows. As a slowdown in the realty sector stares developers in the face, these are some of the innovations they are coming up with to keep buyers interested. Other builders have started shifting from the premium housing sector and are launching projects in the more affordable range for middle-class buyers. Are these signs that realty prices will drop in the near future? http://www.zameen-zaidad.com/...”Assotech CMD Sanjiv Srivastava said, ''I wouldn't advise people to wait for prices to drop. If you are getting a property at a good location, bargain hard and close the deal.'' But Anshul Jain, CEO of the India arm of global property consultancy firm, DTZ, has a different take. ''Yes, a correction in property prices is on its way,'' he said. Many builders said they were now concentrating on the middle segment. Manoj Gaur, promoter of Gaur Sons, said the group had launched projects in Indirapuram in the range of Rs 2,500 per sq ft to suit middle-class buyers. The promoter of Ashiana Housing, Rohit Modi, said they had started an apartment project at Rs 2,100/sq ft on NH 58 in Ghaziabad. Till six months back, apartments at these places were quoting at upwards of Rs 3,000/sq ft. Not only this, many developers are reducing the floor size of the flats from 2000 sq ft to around 1,200 to 1,500 sq ft. This translates to a fall in the price of a three-bedroom apartment from Rs 60 lakh to around Rs 30 lakh. Gaur said though sales of premium segment apartments had been hit, demand for midsegment housing was okay. A number of mid-segment projects are being launched in Gurgaon too in the price range of Rs 35-45 lakh. With margins taking a beating, there aren't too many freebies in the midsegment, unlike the high-end segment where oversupply is forcing developers to dole out attractive incentives. Fears of a slowdown in realty have been around for the past two years — since RBI first hiked interest rates. It all started with the apprehension that the rise in property prices between 2003 and 2006 was creating a dangerous bubble. Later, RBI further tightened money supply to fight inflation. Now, with the global financial crisis beginning to affect India, the outlook for the realty sector looks grim. No freebies for mid-segment As a slowdown in the realty sector stares developers in the face, many builders said that they are concentrating on the middle segment. However unlike premium segment, mid-segment buyers shouldn't expect any freebies as developers said their margins were getting hit. In fact, CMD ofhttp://www.zameen-zaidad.com/...”Parsvnath Developers, Pradeep Jain, who has also launched a mid-segment project in the NCR, said prices are not likely to drop much. ''The present conditions will lead to a slowdown in implementation of projects. Instead of selling at losses, developers would delay projects,'' he said. In the premium segment, things are a little different because of an oversupply situation. The NCR-based Jaypee group has offered luxury cars like Mercedes C200K, Toyota Land Cruiser and BMW 320i on the purchase of houses in the prices range of Rs 3 crore to Rs 8.25 crore in its upmarket project on Noida-Greater Noida Expressway. Even on the lower range of houses of Rs 85 lakh to Rs 1.50 crore, the group is offering cars like Maruti Zen, Honda City and Toyota Camry. The value of the freebies depends on the price of the house that is bought. MD of Jaypee Greens, Rita Dikshit, said that to celebrate one year of the launch of these projects, the company was giving these items as a gift to customers who buy houses by November 11. She said this was a goodwill gesture and not a sign of distress. ''The company has no plan to reduce prices of its houses and apartments after the gift scheme ends on November 11,'' she added. For premium buyers looking for attractive deals, there are plenty of choices. In Mumbai, realtor Cosmos group is offering a one bedroom-hall-kitchen apartment in Thane free on the purchase of a bungalow in Lonawala near Pune. The group is also upgrading a two-bedroom apartment into three bedroom apartment for free in Thane and Lonawala. In the NCR region, SVP group is offering freebies like a 50-gram gold coin on the purchase of an http://www.zameen-zaidad.com/...”apartment in Ghaziabad. Besides, most of the developers are doing away with charges for club membership and parking. Courtesy: - TOI dtd: - 27th Oct. 2008

The report says the market is hungry for apartments in the midincome segment as they fall within the budget of a middleclass buyer. This is also evident from the data collected by the research team. Jain points out that in http://www.zameen-zaidad.com/...”Gurgaon, Ghaziabad and Greater Noida, absorption level of mid-income houses have increased from 36.53%, 31.71% and 32.31% in March 2008 to 72.7%, 72.44% and 69.16% respectively. In Faridabad, developers' 'sold' position increased from 65.39% in March to 83.36% by August in the mid-income housing segment. But, in the high-income housing segment, developers are finding the going tough. According to data, the absorption level in the high-income segment has increased from 64.13% in March to 70.92% by August in Gurgaon, 57.08% to 60.99% in Faridabad, 87.35% to 91.05% in Ghaziabad and 91.19% to 96.15% in http://www.zameen-zaidad.com/...”Greater Noida. In Noida, the sold position of developers has increased from 33.31% to 54.82%. Jain says that as the developers are finding it difficult to sell the high-end apartments, they are turning towards the mid-income segments. Besides the rise in prices, due to increase in the interest rates by almost 50% from 7% in 2005 to around 12% at present, the EMIs have increased manifold. The other major factors for developers to turn towards the mid-segment housing in the NCR are that they are stuck up badly owing to the liquidity crunch in the market and slowdown in the sector. Most of the developers have invested huge sums of money in buying land all over the places, including small towns and cities like Agra, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Lucknow and Indore, besides the NCR. But today, they are not able to sell anything in the smaller towns, so they have turned to the NCR for cash flow. But, in NCR too, the demand for high segment housing has dwindled. As a result, the builders have decided to move towards the mid-segment housing, where the demand is very high. As the market condition is tight, developers are compromising on their margins and selling at lower rates. Anshul Jain says that developers are willing to give up location premiums to make the pricing work at between Rs 1,600 and Rs 3,000 per sq ft - a part of those depleted margins is made good by sale of higher volumes and some through better cash flows as units in this category tend to sell faster than those in the high-end segment. In a survey conducted by DTZ India, it is found that even the investors are keener to invest in midi come housing segment. Ninety per cent of the respondents prefer to buy two mid-income flats over one high-end flat, where both require the same investment. The survey conducted among the developers also found that mid-segment housing has emerged as the centre of attraction for them. Cheap housing tends to sell at a higher pace when compared to the other segments, and as a result, the developers are compensating the lower prices by higher volume and a steady and quicker cash flow. Besides this, most of the mid-income projects are coming up in areas where the land is cheap. At the same time, to push sale, developers are foregoing the location premium as the land has been bought at a relatively low price. In constructing the mid-income apartments with an eye to sell at less than Rs 3,000 per sq ft, developers are increasingly compromising on quality and amenities. In the mid-income apartments, they are doing away with central air-conditioning and clubhouses. Though the basic construction quality might remain the same, they are cutting corners on the materials being used. Courtesy: - ET dtd; - 17th Oct. 2008
 
BAGHPAT
10.15.08 (12:22 am)   [edit]

Hardly 40 kms from Delhi, Baghpat has potential because of its nearness to the Capital. It's also close to Tronica City. One more plus point in Baghpat's favour is linkage to the rail and road network. It is just two kms away from the Railway Station, 25 kms away from ISBT and 80 km away from IGI Airport.

Says Mahesh Pawar, CEO, Mahavir Hanuman Group, "We are among the first movers here. The UP Government has sanctioned the construction of a six-lane Eastern Peripheral Expressway This 135 km speedway will include Noida, Ghaziabad and Baghpat in its 86km. stretch. Also, the bridge over river Yamuna, connecting Tronica City to Delhi, is being widened to ease traffic congestion. The proposed 271 km long, eight-lane expressway on the banks of river Hindon, connecting Noida to Saharanpur, will save time and fuel both. Construction of the Signature Bridge over the River Yamuna will dramatically improve connectivity for commuters from North and West Delhi. To reduce the pressure of traffic on Delhi roads and to develop a rapid rail transport system, a railway corridor is being developed all around Delhi. Further to this, the Metro is expected to reach Delhi Extn. NCR Baghpat in two to three phases," says Pawar.

"The Uttar Pradesh government is completely revamping the area. It is strengthening its infrastructure. There's impetus on development of infrastructure components like road and rail network, electric and water supply sewerage and, drainage. The Baghpat Development Authority has also been set up," adds Pawar.

While touring the area, we found: The approach road to Baghpat is full of potholes. The town in itself is like a village.

Sources here say there is no clear line of implementation though everything is on paper. For future investments? Can develop in time, but will require quite a few years. Connectivity: The local trains go from Delhi to Baghpat.

MEERUT
10.15.08 (12:18 am)   [edit]

Meerut's biggest problem is power and security. In the last two years, land prices here have appreciated by around 80 per cent. In the residential segment the prices hover around Rs 5,000-Rs 6,000. "The future seems bright for this city and with the Metro rail a likelihood here the local authorities are paying attention to the infrastructural needs of the city Above all, it is also close to the Capital. T," says Sunil Taneja, GM Marketing, and AHCL. Flyover sanctions are expected to jack up property prices near the bypass to about Rs 10,000 per sq yd.

While touring the area we found: Development projects in full swing near the bypass. People are acquiring land on NH-58 coming from Delhi. Connectivity is good both by road and rail. The main city is clogged, however. The outer bypass where the work is progressing will take at least four to five years to become liveable. Future prospects? Bright.
