Foreign investment used to fund UK property
2008-05-29 02:00:00 A couple from the UK hope an overseas property investment could help them afford a house in Britain, according to a newspaper. The Metro highlighted the case of Paul and Samantha Emery, who have been priced out of the market in their home town of Watford. Speaking to the newspaper, they said they believe a foreign property investment could be the solution to their problem. The couple have purchased two properties in Bulgaria, as it is a much cheaper country with a rapidly-growing housing market. This means that the couple could potentially make a profit if they sell up after the houses have gone up in value. Ms Emery commented: "It has already increased in value, but we are holding onto it for five years so that we don't have to pay capital gains tax when we sell." She added that they have been able to afford the mortgage payments by letting the properties out and collecting the rental yields. According to the Association of International Property Professionals, Bu...

New foreign investment projects will create slew of skilled jobs -Singapor
2008-01-25 00:10:00 New foreign investment projects will create slew of skilled jobs -Singapore By Nicholas Fang  THOUSANDS of jobs in exciting, cutting-edge industries, such as new medical technology and solar energy, are in the offing as a result of a boom in new foreign investment projects in Singapore.

Foreign Investment Usa and Snowflake, AZ
2007-11-27 20:22:00 Snowflake, Arizona, and the Arizona white mountains, a great place to invest in the United States as a foreign investor. 11/27/07 Although the national news continues to refer to Arizona, along with Nevada and the few other states as a place suffering some of the worst subprime problems. The foreclosures and drop in home prices in Phoenix and other large metropolitan areas, do not encompass the entire state. The Arizona white mountains, including Snowflake are not in my opinion to be lumped in with the larger areas and here's why. Snowflake is an area that had only recently been discovered prior to the current real estate malaise, in some of the more active areas. When you consider that Snowflake, Arizona has land prices often times half those in some better-known areas, like Prescott, Payson, Chino Valley, Lakeside Pinetop and others which have already reached peaks making investing there less than desirable at this time, add considerable is...
