A Trader's Truth. "In less than 12 months, the savings of millions of people are going to vanish"

Mon, 05 Dec 2011 16:29:00 GMT

An incredibly daunting thought, wouldn't you agree? Well, these are some of the words from a trader who was interviewed live yesterday by the BBC.

Mr Rustani cast his opinion over the current economic climate in an interview that caused "jaws to collectively drop".

He also had this to say:

"The 1930’s depression wasn’t just about a market crash, there were some people who were prepared to make money from that crash and I think anybody can do that. It isn’t just for some people that are the “elite”, anybody can make money. It’s an opportunity."

"I would say this to everybody who’s watching this. This economic crisis is like a cancer. If you just wait and wait thinking this is going to go away, just like a cancer is going to grow, it’s going to be too late. What I would say to everybody, is get prepared. This is not a time for wishful thinking that the government is going to sort things out. The governments don’t rule the world, Goldman Sachs rule the world. Goldman Sachs do not care about this rescue package and nor do the big funds."

"The first thing people should do is protect their assets. In less than 12 months, my prediction is that savings of millions of people are going to vanish and this is just the beginning. I would say be prepared and act now. The biggest risk people can take now, is not acting."

To see the interview, follow this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqN3amj6AcE&feature=feedf

Our thoughts...

Let's remember this is the opinion of one person who has made some very bold statements. However, not acting to ensure that your money is working for you, could be very risky. Getting as much advice at the moment is crucial and acting on that advice is a must.

Many investors are now looking towards tangible assets such as bricks and mortar, land and precious metals.

Our partner's at Diligence have a range of property investments that may suit your needs in the current climate, so why not take a look at the opportunities that are available?

Resort and hotel investments...

Maybe you'd like to consider an overseas property investment in countries such Cape Verde, Grenada, The Dominican Republic, Barbados, St Lucia, France and Brazil? Each investment offers something different, including guaranteed rental income, huge growth potential, free personal use each year and even the option to invest a through a SIPP to aid a poor performing pension!

Florida property...

How about taking advantage of market conditions in the USA? Our partner's investment in Florida offers 7-9% NET yields with properties starting at £36k and it's completely hands free!

Green Investments...

If you're totally adverse to anything property related, maybe a "green investment" might be of interest? There are superb returns available where you can invest from at little as £5k and you're helping the environment at the same time!

Property Tips

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 14:22:00 GMT

Below are some great property tips for Investor's that are considering a property investment in today's market. With Investor confidence seemingly at its lowest point for many years, it's vital that new investors consider the following property tips and experienced investors remind themselves of these important factors when considering a property investment.

Property Investment in today's market is certainly very different to only a few years ago. Many who invested in property for capital appreciation during the "boom" period, were caught out as we saw mortgage rates rise. It proved a tough period for these property investors as the rental income was not given enough careful consideration. However, those existing investors that have been affected may now be benefiting from falling onto their lender's standard variable rate (SVR) mortgage or a revert rate that tracks the base rate. This has given existing property investors some much needed "breathing space".

Property investors are aware that current Loan to Value's (LTV's) require a larger capital outlay when purchasing a property and may even see the value of their property investment slide in the short term. However, the long term strategy of rental return is becoming more and more appealing as we wait for the market to climb. Investor interest appears to be picking up due to the fall in house prices, the rise in rents and the gradual improvement over mortgage deals. This is resulting in investors turning their attention to the benefits of rental return over capital appreciation.

For those who are adopting this strategy, the search goes on for a property investment that can meet these demands.

Below are some helpful tips to always consider, regardless of the economic climate.

Property Tips

1. Market research

Make sure you are aware of the potential negatives as well as the benefits of property investment. It's a good idea to speak to people around that have made property investments and ask them about their experience/s. If you are looking to invest with a property company for a hands free investment, research the sector they operate in, as well as the fees they charge. If you're leaving it in someone else's hands, it's vital you have peace of mind. There are some fantastic companies out there, but there's also many that simply do not deliver the goods.

2. Location

Location is vital. A major factor in a successful property investment is the ability to let the asset. Without tenants, the property is costing you money. Consider elements such as the amenities and the transport links in the area.

3. Do the figures

Remember that a buy to let investment isn't a property you are going to be occupying. It's an investment. Do not get caught up in the excitement of house hunting. Make sure that the figures stack up and after careful due diligence, the property suits your needs. Consider your potential mortgage payment, interest rates, rental income, refubs and bills. If needs be, websites such as "right move" and "find a property" can aid you the typical numbers such as rent in a particular street or area. There are also several websites that can provide you with an online mortgage calculator.

4. Look around and take your time

This applies to the lending as much as the property purchase. Don't just put pen to paper on the first mortgage deal that you think is "good". Speak to a specialist mortgage broker who can research the entire market on your behalf. - There's no obligation to use them, but they could save you money, which could improve the return on your investment.

5. Start small

Investing in property can involve huge outlays. Make sure you consider something that's within your budget rather than over committing yourself.

6. Tenants

What type of tenant would you like to occupy the property? if you were that tenant, what would you want? Remember, a family's requirements are likely to be different to that of a student. - Consider the correct decor/refub to suit that of your tenant. A well presented property that meets the demand of it's tenant, will give you the most chance of it being let consistently as well as fending off your competition. It can also allow you to earn the best rental income possible in that area.

7. Be realistic

We've all heard of property investors that have built portfolio's worth millions of pounds, but this doesn't happen over night. For some, it may never happen. Focus on the long term strategy for capital appreciation but remember that rental income can be very lucrative as it's in your bank account every month.

8. Consider looking out of your "comfort zone"

There are many property investors that like to invest in property in areas that they know particularly well. In a lot of cases, this isn't the best strategy to adopt. The comfort of knowing that you can keep an eye on the property is very appealing to investors, but if you consider hiring a letting agent, this problem can be alleviated. Consider looking at areas that offer a range of potential tenants. Alternatively, consider investment abroad if needs be. - But make sure you research thoroughly, especially if your knowledge is limited.

9. Price

As a buy to let investor, there is the potential for you to have bargaining power. As you're not part of a chain that requires your house to sell, it enables you to negotiate over price and potentially get a better deal. The Vendor (seller) can often be in a situation where they would prefer a smoother transaction. Your situation can allow you to capitalise on this in order to get the best deal.

10. Know your worst case scenario

Buy to let comes with no guarantees, just like many other investments. If it did, we'd all be millionaires. However, you should know what your worst case scenario is at all times. Can you afford the mortgage payment if the property remains empty for a period of time? Do you have the finances to cover any repairs? Try to answer as many questions like this, in order to mitigate your worries and ensure peace of mind.

11. What part do you want to play?

For many, a property investment is about renovating the property hands on to eliminate certain costs and taking pride in their purchase. For others, it's about letting their money do the work as long as the figures stack up. Being hands on may not be too challenging for one property if it's close by, but how will this affect you as you build a portfolio? Before you know it, it's a full time job. Decide what approach you'd like to take and stick to it. There are many companies out there that can provide you will all the services you need in order to keep it a hands free investment if needs be.

Additional tip:

Investment information provided by property companies can come in the form of an "investment guide" or an "investment prospectus". In some cases it can be very one sided in order to sway your decision and simply act as a sales tool. Do your own research and come to your own conclusions, or even seek financial advice.

This has enabled us to compete effectively against the growing number of tourist destinations that have become available to the international traveller.”

Florida Buy to Let - Launched!

Tue, 04 Oct 2011 11:30:00 GMT

As you may have read in one of our blogs in June, we've been working towards bringing on board a superb opportunity in Florida Buy to Lets.

Well... here it is.

Florida Buy To Let Investment

After undertaking our strict due diligence process, we are proud to welcome on board our new residential Florida Buy to Let partner.

I'm sure you're aware of the significant decline of property prices in the USA.

Certain sectors have lost up to 80% when compared with values only a few years ago. As a result, this has lead to many investors taking advantage of the current Below Market Value properties that the USA has to offer. The USA has a wide variety of opportunity in the current market, with many cities offering property with some great returns for investors.

However, there's one state that we believe stands out. The state of Florida, and in particular, the city of Orlando. It doesn't need me to go into in depth detail, as we all know of Orlando's popularity, but I've just highlighted a few key points for you to consider.

Here's why we believe Buy to Let investments in Orlando are in a different league.

Orlando is well known for being a tourist location.
More than 44 million people visit Florida each year, for business and pleasure.
Huge attractions - Walt Disney world, Universal Studio's, Sea world, beautiful golf resorts, award winning malls, night life, dining and recreation.
The economic stability of the area is much less affected by events around the world, when compared to many other destinations.
Very young population and it also boasts some of the lowest unemployment figures in the USA.
Behind the tourist attractions of Orlando, there is a thriving business and economic community. These people work at the Attractions, Malls, Bars, Restaurants, Universities and many other industries.
There is also the construction of Lake Nona's Medical City to consider, which is will be pulling in an estimated 30,000 new jobs for those who work in pharmaceuticals and medicine.

Our new Florida Buy to let investment opportunity

So, why should you consider investing with our partner?

We've briefly demonstrated why Orlando is such a great opportunity when considering an investment in the USA. The bullet points above summarise Orlando mainly for it's tourism, but as the final two points state, there is a thriving economic community. - This is resulting in a demand for high quality accommodation from workers that need to be reside near to the attractions. - Our new partner offers this solution, as well as providing a fantastic opportunity for investors to take advantage of the current market. If you could purchase a property outright for £36k, when just over a year ago that same asset was worth £89k, would you? Well, if so, you might like to read a little further, it gets better.

BMV Property - Purchase Outright from £36k - up to 60% discount based on prices 12-18 months ago
7-9% NET yields
12-18 month rental contracts in place
Renovations completed before sale to an investor
Our Partner purchase the properties direct from the bank's, OUTRIGHT, before selling to an investor.
Guaranteed clear title with no charges on the property.
Full title insurance supplied.
Full management service
Potential for significant capital growth
Suitable property, all within 20 mins drive of Central Orlando, Kissimmee and Orlando International Airport.
Strategically located in secure gated communities.
Hands free investment

We're expecting this to be a very popular choice amongst investors, having already seen significant interest from our newsletter.

Definition of "Remarkable" (Introducing Remarkable Investments)

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 14:23:00 GMT

You may have noticed our slogan "Introducing remarkable Investments"
Have you ever wondered what we mean by this? Well... let us explain.

Remarkable

1. Worthy of Notice or attention
2. Attracting notice as being unusual or extraordinary.

This word "remarkable" was chosen after much thought, as we believe that it sums up the service that Diligence offers, perfectly.

We provide clients and potential investors with all the information they need on Investment products that some may class as "unusual" or "extraordinary". What ever your view may be on the opportunities, they are certainly worthy of notice or attention, just as point 1 perfectly describes. - Remarkable Investments.

For example, we've been saying for some time that student property has so many beneficial factors. We believed that it would be an investment that'd really take off as more people started to become aware of this niche market. Finally, it's now become a "Buzzword" and everyone is talking about it.

We do our due diligence on every investment company we partner with, in order to provide you a portal of opportunities with transparency. It's simple - We give you the facts, the figures and the in depth information you require.

Some questions we ask:

What security does this investment offer? (are there guarantees? Are there real tangible assets (bricks/mortar/land) backing my investment?)
What is my expected return on investment? (is this realistically achievable? which previous/current market factors can give me peace of mind?)
What’s my Return Vs Risk? (are the returns worth the risk?)
How about my Exit Strategies? (how do I get out of this investment? Will this be a straight forward process?)
Track record? (I want to know this investment has a history of delivering over and over again!)

These are just some, but we'll leave you to ask your own. Everyone ensures peace of mind in their own way.

Forming a relationship with you...

All you have to do is let us know what interests you, by simply filling out an enquiry if one of the products suit your needs.

Our partner's provide us with all the information you could need and we make sure that no figures are massaged. The two "T's" (as we like like to call them) are met at all times; Transparency and Trust.

The current economic climate does not allow for anything short of the two "T's" and we will ensure that these are met, by doing all we can.

Whether you have £5000 or £100,000 that you're looking to invest, we've got something that you might like the look of and we'll do our best to point you into the direction to one of our expert partners.

Remarkable Investments

We managed to predict that the student market would be a buzzword long before it's time, maybe this will apply to:

Green investments? - Fossil fuels are running out, perhaps this is the alternative solution?
Florida investments? - U.S house prices are incredibly low, perhaps an income producing asset as well as a huge potential for capital appreciation is the answer?
Overseas Resorts - Always a popular choice amongst many investors for a diverse portfolio. Perhaps this will become even more popular!

Regardless of what we think, we'll let you do your own due diligence. Our expert partners are on standby to help you. All you need to do is fill out an enquiry form located to the right hand side of any of the products. Alternatively you can contact us direct with an email telling us what you'd like information on.

Why invest in France - Stability

Tue, 04 Oct 2011 12:55:00 GMT

There are many positive factors about investing in France which we'll go into, but there's a few elements that not many of us are aware of.

France is the wealthiest country in Europe. Not only this, but it is the 4th wealthiest country in the World. It is known for its attractions, cuisine and transport access; no wonder over 82 million tourists visit the country each year. - The most visited country in the world. Some pretty staggering statistics, wouldn't you say?

Why Invest in France?

As well as these features above, there are many other benefits as to why France and investing in France, provides a stable, yet potentially very lucrative investment opportunity.

Invest in France

Investing in property - Economic indications show that the trends of a strong and stable market is set to continue
Tax efficient lease back options are very popular with purchasers as risk is kept to a minimum
Ever increasing inward and overseas investment
Mortgages and finance are accessed more successfully, resulting in a French property purchase becoming a lot easier.
A fantastic, modern transportation infrastructure with close, easy links to the UK and mainland Europe. - Fantastic for tourism.
Net rental yields of between 7 and 10% p/a
Capital gains tax has halved and you are exempt if you've owned the property for more than 15 years.
As well as many cultural attractions, France has cosmopolitan areas such as Paris, Nice, Monte Carlo, St Tropez and Cannes which help to reinforce its tourism.
Beautiful villages, country side and towns with the famous French charm and cuisine on offer

(info source available here)

France offers investors many opportunities for property purchase, as investors can take advantage of the popular lease back system. Due to it's location, proximity and access to most of Europe, investing in France can also provide a solution for those that are also looking for a holiday home. In addition to this, the added benefit of off plan buy-to-let strategies add further weight to the range of opportunities in France.

If you feel the information above has raised your interest in France, Diligence has an option to invest in a superb development that has only just been released to the UK market.

Take a look at the headline information below...

Majestic French Chateau Conversion and Development

Invest in France from £14k with returns that boast 13.6%

It offers not only an unbeatable France investment opportunity, but also a superb holiday home. The developer guarantees income from Day 1 through to a guaranteed buyback in 9 years of 150-180% of purchase price. This is a very low risk investment.

Why invest with our partner?

Invest from as little as £14k
Peace of mind Guaranteed with a 150% Return on investment exit strategy
Guaranteed rental options from day 1
Non status finance available
Sell on your Fraction/Investment at any time
Annual usage allowance

Fractional purchase originated from the USA and has been a highly popular method for owning and sharing assets such as luxury yachts, cars and private jets. In property investment it allows owners all the benefits of owning a luxury 5* property (such as title ownership, strong capital growth and great rental income), with a much more realistic outlay for most of us. However, with fractional ownership, you actually ‘own’ a share in your property, receiving the deeds to that property!

Caribbean Resort Investments...

Tue, 04 Oct 2011 13:02:00 GMT

The Caribbean is known for it's sandy white beaches, crystal clear oceans and its relaxing lifestyle.

Islands such as the St Lucia, The Bahamas, The Dominican Republic and Barbados are known destinations that attract wealthy tourists, affluent investors as well as celebrities and sports personalities for Caribbean resort investments.

Caribbean Resort Investments

The Islands above have always been popular for resort investment. However, there are other Caribbean islands that are now gaining significant interest for the same reasons. One of these Caribbean islands is Grenada.

So... why Grenada?....

...Low property prices, Tourism, Infrastructure + much more...

Due to the shear volume of investment into other more established Caribbean Island Resorts, this has now resulted in shrewd investors taking advantage of Grenada's lower property prices and developments.

The island currently has a shortage of accommodation for tourists which has lead to increased government efforts to provide further hotel rooms. - The result, more developments are required. Resort developments naturally yield a higher rental return as they are let on a nightly basis, meaning a higher occupancy when compared with private rentals. This high demand also means that rental yields are being pushed upwards. - Investors that join the cycle in it's early development can expect excellent returns.

Grenada is also implementing new infrastructure to it's Point Saline International airport, the Grenada General Hospital as well as many other roads and bridges. These enhancements mean that accessibility to its high end developments are improving dramatically, as well as improving the country's' location as an overall investment.

In addition, the country boasts overwhelming scenery - from it's rainforest's, to its dormant volcanoes. But it's the Grand Anse Beach in St George's that it's most known for. Finaly, this particular hotspot is known for being one of the finest beaches in the world, often appearing in "countdowns" of the world's "Top 10 Beaches".

It all sounds wonderful doesn't it?

Well...how does owning a piece of this Caribbean luxury sound to you? You might like to read a little further.

We have carefully selected a Caribbean Resort investment than not only allows you up to 12 weeks FREE personal usage per annum, but it also offers superb returns, as you'd expect! What a combination!

The best part... Investment entry is low, as it only requires £22k!!

Guaranteed "uncapped" 5% immediate rental income, (expect 10.5%) + 10% predicted annual capital growth = 20.5% return
Own a property at 45% below its RICS valuation
