Cochin, the commercial capital of Kerala, is one of the fastest growing cities in India. Modern skyscrapers, posh residential colonies, and bustling commercial complexes can be seen along with lush greenery and backwaters.

With many residential complexes being planned in the region, Cochin is looking forward to serve the NRIs who have the taste and aspiration to lead a luxurious life in their hometowns. The NRIs who want to invest in property in Cochin are also catered for.

Cochin has welcomed many cultures in its shore and has assimilated a number of these cultures over the centuries. As the land of cultural diversity that nourishes every culture, it offers an opportunity to lead any lifestyle in terms of values, opulence, luxury et al.

With the Reserve Bank of India FDI ruling, and India government’s relaxing the real estate and property rules real estate dealings have become an easier for NRIs.
Some of the measures that the govt. has taken are:

• Allowing FDI in the real estate industry
• 100% repatriation allowed for NRIs investment in the country
• Relaxed property tax
• Less stamp duty if the property is registered in the name of a woman
• Abolition of Section 37(i)
• Tax reforms designed to drive investments in the housing sector

To a great extant, this has led to the current trend of real estate boom in India.

The study estimated employment potential for 289 persons for investment of every one crore rupees on housing projects. Furthermore, it says that, the promotion of housing construction would require among other things a good housing finance system, for which much is needed to be done even though the government has established the National Housing Bank and is going to introduce the Home Loan Account Scheme.

Real estate development is a labor-intensive process. In spite of the mechanization in the building construction sector, human labor is still needed to speed up the construction process. Robots have not taken up even a fraction of the construction work in the state. In countries like Japan some companies have made efforts to introduce robots to do the construction work faster than human beings.

When considering the present developments in Real Estate Kerala state has been able to achieve much progress mainly due to the phenomenal inflow of labor from other parts of the country. Every incoming train from the north is full of skilled and unskilled laborers trying to eke out a living in this high wage construction sector. The laborers from West Bengal and Chattisgarh earn more than double they are able to get for a day’s work at a construction site in their home town. Not only that, their productivity is also on the higher side.

I thought I would share with you three pivotal points in my own life where making the effort to “show up” changed my life irrevocably for the better.

In early 1989 I was working as a temporary secretary in London. I was also managing an up and coming band. We’d had a busy weekend, with a gig in Leeds on the Saturday night and a day in the studio recording on the Sunday. I didn’t get home till the early hours of Monday morning. At 9.00 a.m. on Monday morning, I received a phone call from the agency saying that a new TV channel called MTV wanted a temp to do a day’s filing. I was absolutely exhausted that morning, and I distinctly remember thinking twice about taking the assignment. I was sorely tempted to roll over and go back to sleep! However, my instinct got the better of me, and I agreed to go. I remember rushing to the MTV studios in the pouring rain. I did the day’s filing, and they must have liked me, because they asked me to stay on for two weeks. The rest as they say is history. Within 18 months, I was presenting my own show on MTV and did so for the next eight years, making me the longest-serving presenter in the history of the channel – worldwide! I had the privilege of interviewing Kurt Cobain, attended an awards ceremony in Milan on the arm of Jon Bon Jovi, flew on Metallica’s private jet, partied with Lemmy from Motorhead, introduced Iron Maiden on stage at the Monsters of Rock concerts in Brazil, and modelled for French “Vogue”. All this because I showed up at MTV on a rainy Monday morning to do some filing! Just stop to think for a minute how different my life would have been if I had stayed in bed ....*

In June 2002, I “showed up” at my sister’s pre-wedding dinner at the Holiday Inn, Guildford. That was the day that I met my dear husband of six years, Nick. I had no idea before showing up that Nick would be there or that we would end up getting married! I didn’t even know of his existence. The rest, as they say, is history.

In April 2004, Nick and I “showed up” to a property seminar at the Holiday Inn, Guildford. (See a pattern developing here?!). We were a couple of property green-horns ready to be “sold to”. We paid a lot of money to go on that property seminar. The rest, as they say, is history. Looking back, I am so glad we took that massive action on that particular day in 2004, as that way the day we became property investors – the day we committed a large sum of money to invest in our own education. So this month, we celebrate our fifth year of property investing and we are blessed to be doing something that we enjoy and feel passionate about.

My point is this: if you sit at home watching “Eastenders”, please don’t be surprised if your results in business continue to be the same. If you keep on doing what you’ve always done, then you’ll keep on getting what you’ve always got.

“Showing up” on line or in person at networking events is a sure-fire way to turbo-charge your success as you expand your knowledge and contacts, and expose yourself to new possibilities that you never even knew existed!

I hear many excuses from people who don’t engage in networking:

I’m too shy
I’m too tired
Networking is not my thing
I don’t know anyone there
I don’t know if it is worth me turning up as I might not get anything out of it
I’m not sure if there will be anyone there interested in what I do.

Throughout life, we can either rise to the level of our abilities or fall to the level of our excuses. You DO have a choice in this. Think for a moment of some reasons that you might make the effort to “show up”:

I might learn something that assists me in my business.
I might meet someone who can support me in my business.
I might be able to support or assist other people in what they are doing.
I might enjoy it!
I might find inspiration to try something different.

A closed mind is the most expensive thing you will ever own, so I urge you to decide to “show up” whether it be on-line or in person at networking events. Who knows where it might lead? Places that you never imagined is my bet!

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone! So dive in, whether it be on line or at networking events, and go with the flow and see where it takes you.

A little success story from our own network: The lovely Vivien White recently started her new lettings business, New Leaf Homes. She has just completed her first property let. Her first client was Adrian Standing, who she met through 4Walls. Congratulations Viv! And thank you to Adrian for supporting someone starting out in business. I hope you agree that it was worth both parties “showing up” and
connecting ...

There are many great property networking events around the U.K. that you can attend.

If you live in the Surrey area, our next networking event is on Sunday the 19th of April at the Holiday Inn, Guildford starting at 10.30 and finishing around 14.30.

Nick and I will endeavour to introduce you to people we think you should connect with. It’s fun, friendly, and we always give massive value as we believe that we need to earn your continued attention by providing great content. And if you don’t get anything out of our event, I guarantee that I will refund your money. Doh! I can’t do that as it’s FREE to attend!

Alternatively, you can sit at home watching TV.

The choice really is yours.

Perhaps you might like to share on this thread a story of when making the effort to "show up" had a positive impact on your life ... ?

* I don't wish it to appear that I am boasting about my past at MTV. Those of you who know me, know that I rarely talk about it. I just wanted to use this to inspire you to make an effort to get out there and connect with people to help you move forwards. ]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2009 15:32:27 GMThttp://www.publicangel.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/215/http://www.publicangel.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/215/BBC News read more....

Some interesting insights into the current mortgage market. Might be of interest. ]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2009 15:16:21 GMThttp://www.publicangel.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/213/http://www.publicangel.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/213/
The final 3 months of 2008 saw homeowners reduce their mortgages by a staggering £8bn, the biggest injection of cash since 1970 according to the Bank of England.

The rising fear of unemployment, low savings rates and falling house prices eroding peoples equity, has led many to concentrate on debt reduction rather than spending. This is major change in attitudes from the days of homes being used as cash machines to fund excessive spending and holidays, with the peak of equity withdrawals being in the last quarter of 2003 when a massive £17bn was added to people's mortgages.

"The return of my money is more important than the return on my money" Mark Twain.

That’s an interesting sentiment.

When asked what your attitude to risk is, how many of you consider you are simply 'medium risk' or 'three out of five'.

"Risk comes from not knowing what your doing (Warren Buffet), or alternatively from appointing someone as your expert who doesn't know what they are doing!

Many investors agree their risk levels with an adviser, without really understanding what the parameters are and subsequently the decisions they make are of similar quality. The process of discussing your investment risk should take about an hour to two hours.

What does risk mean? To some, its how much money you can lose, to others, it's the potential for fluctuation.

Risk can be a very personal matter.

It's natural that we are 'high risk takers' when the market is rising (we know we can't lose), and 'low risk takers' when the market falls (we don't like losing).

Unfortunately markets don't work that way. You are one or the other.

To decide your risk you can follow the 'painting by numbers' approach used by some of drawing a pyramid and asking you which you would prefer to go for. Most people will go for a number 3 out of 5, or the middle section of a pyramid. Both of these examples are to bad decisions what the word 'boring' and politics are to each other.

To decide what your attitude to risk is, you must first decide what you want from your money. Understand your potential need and everything else will follow. Once you have decided that need, an investment adviser can tell you what potential fluctuation you might expect. If you are unhappy with that potential fluctuation you would simply have to reduce your potential for gain. There is no magical solution here and each are in line with each other.

The general need for risk comes from the requirement to beat inflation. Inflation erodes the value of your capital in real terms. Consider that from 1985 to 2004 your capital would have needed to have grown by 98% to stay at the same value as inflation had eroded that.(1) A building society would have returned 168%, or a real return of 3.68% per year. Hence most investors realise the need to invest to achieve the best real returns. Property, corporate bonds, equities and Gilts are just some of the investments chosen by investors. Each can fluctuate at different levels. A fluctuation upwards is called a gain and downwards is a loss.

The key when investing is to minimise the losses and maximise the gains and that can be achieved not only by understanding correctly what you are investing into, but also managing your investments on an ongoing basis.

For example in 2006 was it a good idea to say that property was a good idea to invest into because it had gone up so much? Hardly, it’s a cyclical asset that performs well at certain times and you don’t want to hold it when it isn’t performing - the downturn can be for a very long period.

It is essential to review your attitude to risk on an ongoing basis. For example if you had been high risk and then had performed well, you might consider you are now a higher risk where actually it may be better to take a lower risk. A diversified investment portfolio is essential, as each of the aforementioned investment assets behave differently at varying points in the economy.

Finally if I could give one tip its that you take gains on your investments rather than believing they will continue to go up. This is the most ill-used investment discipline. Understanding it is knowing that no investment is good or bad, it's just your thinking that does that.

Here are some useful tips that will help you avoid later problems when purchasing a condominium. Before considering the purchase of a condominium be sure to ask for the last three to six months of minutes from the condominium’s association meetings. This information will provide you with key insight into what exactly is happening in the building. It is advisable to obtain a copy of the declaration, the bylaws, and all documented rules and regulations from the condo association before making a purchase.

Genuine end-users have taken over from investors and account for 80 to 90 per cent of sales in their current projects of building flats. The respondents expressed mixed reaction with regard to land valuation and construction of building. Most of them seem to be reaching the consensus that land values are likely to see stability over the short to mid-term period and may not witness any appreciation over the next 12 months. In the April-June quarter, capital value of residential properties has stagnated. The global consultancy firm feels that the present condition will continue for some more time. The equated monthly installment (EMI) of Rs 30 lakh loan for 20 years is over Rs 33,000, which a middle class person finds difficult to afford. During the boom time, the interest rate on home loan was around 7.5% and the EMI on Rs 30 lakh loan was about Rs 24,000.

The builders argue that cost of construction of an average apartment has gone up to around Rs 1,200-1,800 per sq feet from Rs 600-900 per sq feet a couple of years back. At the same time, the land cost also comes out to be in the range of Rs 1,500 per sq. ft. Therefore, builders said developers can’t sell a residential apartment at less than Rs 3,200 per sq. ft. If the land is acquired around 2004, he can sell at around Rs 2,800 per sq. ft as the land cost for him would be in the range of Rs 1,000 per sq ft. Depending on the sensibilities of the landlords and the quality of the properties, SROs can range. Some have been run in dormitory fashion. Others have been cage hotels, in which a large room is split into many smaller ones with corrugated steel or sheetrock dividers, which do not reach the height of the original ceiling. To prevent tenants from climbing over the walls into each others' spaces, the tops of the rooms are covered in chicken wire, making the rooms look something like cages.

But too many such experimental building systems resulted and traditional building retained a cost advantage until the number was reduced. However, by the year 1971,the industrialized building concept had reversed this position. Nevertheless, this over-all cost advantage over traditional building had been lost by 1978. Furthermore, between 1973 and 1978 tenders for local authority industrialized dwellings fell from 13 percent of total local authority dwellings to 0.5 percent.

But that was the time when the government realized the failure of the State Housing Board on many fronts and the money sunk by it on unremunerative projects that were spurned by the common man. Slowly but steadily, the government washed its hands off the muddle. The rules were liberalized and private initiative was encouraged. From there began the slow development of the real estate sector.

When analyzing the present scenario in Real Estate Kochi was the first city that witnessed the predominance of the private developers. Systematic planned development of landed properties is also seen here. When labor was plenty, mechanization was slow, and when labor became scarce, the leading realtors successfully mechanized the various operations and even gave precedence to the industrial building concept.
