You’ve heard all the rumours, you’ve read all the facts about North Dakota.  You know all the statistics.  This is a golden age for investors looking for massive returns in a growing industry with more demand for suitable accomodation than we have ever witnessed anywhere else in the world.

Demand for these units has never slowed from our initial release to where we are now with the latest in affordable and luxury accomodation.

These luxurious self-contained studio apartments give workers that extra amount of comfort and privacy being demanded from both blue and white collar workers, and includes demand from the big oil companies such as Exxon, Chevron, and Haliburton.

Prices in Phase 1 start from just $49,950 – that’s the same price as the last launch of the Mini-hotels (now sold out,) meaning getting in now will ensure you maximise your rental returns, as prices are already set to rise in the coming weeks.

With planning permits already having been granted and 12 studio units already on site.  The developer has gained significant momentum and is well on the way. 

There are however a limited number of these studio units being made available in Phase one, so pleae be quick.

The Pinewood Atlanta complex will be built on 288 acres of land south of Atlanta, Georgia, as a joint venture with a US investment company.

Georgia has been among the US states drawing film-making away from Hollywood with tax incentives in recent years.
The deal is the latest sign of expansion at Pinewood, the home of the James Bond franchise.
Earlier this month it announced a joint venture with a Chinese media group, potentially giving it access to the fast-growing Chinese market.
‘Fiscal incentives’
In a statement on the company’s website, Pinewood’s chief executive Ivan Dunleavy said the agreement to build Pinewood Atlanta was “another step forward for the Pinewood brand internationally”.
“This new studio will target US productions,” he said. “Georgia has excellent fiscal incentives and a great crew base.”
In a bid to lure film making, Georgia introduced hefty tax incentives for production companies five years ago.
Since 2008, film and television productions in Georgia have been able to receive a tax credit of 20-30% if they spend $500,000 or more, and a further 10% if they feature a Georgia-peach logo.
That has led to a boom in productions. According to state figures, productions filmed there generated more than $3bn (£1.9bn) last year, compared with just $244m five years ago.
Pinewood Atlanta will feature multiple sound stages, and will be used to produce films, television, music and video games.
It is being built in conjunction with investment firm River’s Rock, and Pinewood said it expected construction to begin immediately.

Cleveland townhomes are solidly built, a two-story brick building that was completed in 1968.

The floor plan includes 13 units, a mixture of one, and two bedroom apartments, three and four bedroom townhomes.

There are nine attached carport spaces. The building is leased at below market rates, leaving ample upside potential for incremental rent increases.

The developer has recently completed major repairs and renovations. Recent improvements include; new driveway leading to the carports, boiler, new hallway carpet and paint and updated landscaping. A monitored fire safety system with pull stations has been installed and includes vinyl replacement windows.

America’s popularity surged by 5 per cent in March 2013 to account for 25.95 per cent of investment activity – the largest share ever recorded by any country on the site.
The country became investors’ property market of choice in October last year, when it seized the top spot from rival Spain with 20.91 per cent share of enquiries. Since then, demand has continued to increase, hitting 21.44 per cent in December before slipping back to 20.58 per cent in February. But America marched forward to new heights last month, as buyers were won over by the country’s recovering market.
Cape Verde and Hungary also proved popular, climbing back into the top 10 as Cape Verde leapt 10 places from 17th, but neither could compete with the steady demand for the usual favourites. Indeed, the top five destinations among investors remain USA, Spain, Brazil, France and Portugal, with Brazil breaking new records to attract 8.17 per cent of enquiries.
Other familiar destinations were less fortunate: while interest in Spain, France and Portugal stayed high despite the eurozone recession, demand for Italian property dropped to record lows.
The traditionally popular lifestyle destination, hit hard by the financial crisis, fell four places in the TheMoveChannel.com chart to 10th place. Italian real estate accounted for 2.31 per cent of all property enquiries on the site, down from 3.38 per cent in February 2013. The figure marks the country’s lowest share of activity since Top of the Props records began. Its previous record low was recorded in November 2012, when Italy attracted 2.91 per cent of all enquiries.
“It has been a completely different story for the USA. With recovery now well underway for US real estate, America’s popularity continues to build momentum. The latest concerns surrounding Cyprus’ bailout are likely to drive even more buyers across the Atlantic, securing the USA’s dominance of international real estate for the foreseeable future.”

Until 1973 it was called British Honduras, and was a crown colony of the U.K.; it was granted full independence in 1981 (although Queen Elizabeth II is still head of state).

Another goodie: It’s catching up to Panama and Costa Rica’s retiree perks. Its Qualified Retired Persons program, known as the QRP, offers benefits and a fast track to residency status.
Squeezed between Mexico’s Yucatan coast and Guatemala to the south, sparsely populated Belize is a Central American paradise, with tropical jungle flora, endless white beaches, an aquamarine Caribbean sea, some of the world’s best reefs for snorkelers, fishing to die for, Mayan ruins, and even casinos. Most expats settle either on the largest island, Ambergris Caye, or in Corazol Town on the mainland’s northern tip. Ambergris Caye has the fancy restaurants and condos, including million-dollar properties. It can be as expensive as South Florida (Leonardo Di Caprio bought an island west of Ambergris Caye). The Corozal district, a few miles’ drive from the Mexican border, is far more affordable. Corozal expats live a laid-back life, with year-round outdoor play (boating, hiking, swimming, diving), but are still only 20 minutes from the malls and cineplexes of Chetumal, the capital of the Mexican state of Quintana Roo.
After many visits to Belize, Atlantans Walter and Terri Fisher, 55 and 49, built a “concrete ranch house” with a water view for $125,000, including the lot. “The house was finished in 2007,” Walter reports. “Last year we sold our house in the States, got off the corporate treadmill, and moved here. I drove down in my truck on my own, and Terri—and five cats—flew down. We’re completely happy, though it’s tough being this far from family.”
A former educator, Audrey Shabbas, 68, moved to Corozal from Berkeley, California, with two of her four children three years ago. “We looked at Nicaragua, but Belize had what we wanted—water all around,” she says. “We bought a home with one-third of what we got for our Berkeley house—and it’s three times as wonderful. I’m very blessed to be here.”

Read more »]]> Buying a house has become a race to get the keys. Homes are flying off the market in Central Florida; some in a matter of hours.

Nationwide, homes sold faster last month then in any February since 2007. It’s a good sign for the housing market.

Buyers no longer have the option of “sleeping on it.” A lot of the time by the next day the house is already bought.

If you’re looking for a home or condo between $100,000 and $200,000, you’re in the danger zone.

Realtors are seeing buyers out bid by investors and properties are being listed and sold within a matter of hours.

According to the US National Association of Realtors, cash buyers accounted for 28 % of existing home buyers in January.

Realtors say the best advice for buyers is to get your ducks in row before you start to look, so you can even get in the race. This means buyers need to Pre-qualify, which doesn’t cost anything and ensures when they go in to make an offer on a home they have a pre-authorization and pre-approval from the lender, resulting in being a much more powerful buyer.

Some of the frenzy comes from a lack of inventory.
The economy is improving and buyers are ready, but sellers are waiting for prices to rebound more.

In fact, nationwide the number of homes for sale has dropped, but the number of days the homes out there are on the market is at a record high. The average time to sell is now just two weeks.

Read more »]]> How could we have a shortage of inventory at this juncture? Investor demand along with population growth and rising household formulation have all combined to remove excess inventory. Combine these factors with the fact that those who owe more than their homes are worth are reticent to sell. Even those who were foreclosed upon are starting to purchase again or need single family homes to rent. The question is not why is the inventory down, but will the lower inventory slow down the real estate market in the coming year?

You can’t have rising home sales with not enough homes for sale. We think that two factors will increase inventory in the coming year. Rising home prices will encourage more home owners to list their homes. And builders can create inventory by building more homes. Increased building activity is expected to help pump up the economy in the coming year. If real estate demand continues to rise, expect banks to accelerate the process to get rid of homes in their inventory. In other words, we are expecting the low inventory “problem” to be self-correcting during the year — unless new demand outstrips this additional supply.
Single family home tenants are 18 % more likely than apartment tenants to stay in their current homes five years or longer, suggesting that demand for single family homes, the fastest growing rental category, will be more stable than multifamily demand, according to a new national opinion survey released by ORC International for Premier Property Management. Twenty-six percent of single family tenant plans to stay in place five years or more, compared to one out of five apartment dwellers (22 %). Founded in 1938, ORC International is a leading global market research firm and since 2007 has conducted the CNN|ORC International poll.
One factor contributing to single family stability could be high marks renters give the quality of single family property management. Some 80 % of tenants in single family rentals said their property management was good or excellent compared to only 63 % of apartment renters One out of four apartment dwellers (26%) rated their management as only adequate.
Single family rentals can be found in virtually every community today and more and more families are choosing single family rentals either as a temporary stop on the road to becoming homeowners or as a permanent solution to their housing needs. Over half, of renters, said they anticipate becoming homeowners in the next five years. The near term interest in becoming homeowners among single family tenants reflects the new roles single family rentals are fulfilling as a stepping stone to homeownership for first-time buyers and as a sanctuary for large numbers of families displaced by foreclosures but who plan to buy again when they can afford to do so.
Fifty percent of Americans say they expect the housing market to improve in 2013, while 16 percent say they expect it to get worse, according to a Bloomberg National Poll of 1,003 adults. What’s more, the majority of the Americans surveyed said they have big hopes that the improvement in the housing market will also help give a boost to the overall economy. More Americans are expressing optimism about the trajectory of home prices too.

Land Lots From $15,000 **FEW LOTS REMAINING**

As you probably know the Atlanta market is booming with price rises across the board which is great news for those investors who have already purchased but is now leaving a shortage of inventory and depressing rental yields particularly on newer property. Atlanta is no longer a purely cash-flow market, there is now capital appreciation coming into play.

With increasing demand for quality housing, US home builders already have begun to add to supply with a 23.6 percent rise in single-family housing starts year-over-year in January, according to data from the Census Bureau. New build is back!

Given this background of increasing property prices and available inventory of housing rapidly dwindling, the cost of building land with utilities in place now attracts a substantial premium. We foresaw this happening and some time ago, in partnership with our developer secured building plots in Fairburn, south west metro Atlanta. We now feel the timing is right to release to the market.

Investors can now seize this opportunity to purchase US land plots with full perpetual planning permission at 35% under their present assessed values. With no need to wait for lengthy planning, builders can start building almost immediately providing them with a profitable return on their investment.

Combined with an optional interest free finance package to spread the purchase costs over 2 to 5 years, investors can acquire a tangible asset in a recovering market for minimal cash outlay.

Read more »]]> The housing market’s comeback has hit a speed bump — an index of home builders’ confidence slipped again in March.

The index, which is compiled by the National Association of Home Builders and Wells Fargo, is on a three-month slide after eight months of gains. It’s based on home builders’ perception of current sales for new single-family homes and their expectations for future sales.

Demand isn’t the problem; supply is. There are bottlenecks in the supply chain for developed lots, along with rising costs for building materials and labour
“Home building is beginning to suffer growth pains as the infrastructure that supports it tries to re-establish itself,” said NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. “During the Great Recession, the industry lost home-building firms, building material production capacity, workers who retreated to other sectors and the pipeline of developed lots.”

Other issues facing home builders include appraisals that are coming in too low and mortgages that are too hard to get for prospective buyers. Despite all of these issues, “builders are much more optimistic today than they were at this time last year,” Crowe said.

In fact, home builders grew more optimistic about future home sales in March; a decline in current sales conditions was responsible for the index’s 2-point drop to 44.

Plus, some regions are doing better than others. The index jumped 4 points in the West, to 58. That’s well ahead of the Midwest’s 47, the South’s 46 and the Northeast’s 39.

Williston, North Dakota is going through an economic boom due to the ‘Bakken Formation’ oil fields. With more oil in reserve than Saudi Arabia and the UAE combined, the pressures from this rapid growth are evident. Workers from all corners of the United States are coming to Williston to secure stable well paid jobs of $80,000 – $100,000 + per annum. A side issue of the influx of workers is a need to shelter them. Currently an immediate demand for more than 15000 worker accommodations exists. These men and women are sleeping in tents and cars and the number grows weekly! We are quite serious when we say workers will be queuing at the door before the homes have been completed.
