What You Should Know About Real Estate Asset Management Companies
2012-05-04 14:04:00 Real estate asset management companies are responsible for selling foreclosed and short sale properties for banks, lenders and investors. They will help determine the price of the property then handle the entire sales process. This includes preserving the property, evicting any occupants and performing any necessary maintenance. Of course, the real estate asset management companies do not do the work. Instead, real estate asset management companies outsource it. The first thing that real estate asset management companies must do whenever they are contracted for a property is determine whether or not someone is living there. They will also determine the condition of the property and whether or not it is secure. This information is presented to the bank, lender or investor who will then ask for an appraisal to determine how much the property is actually worth. Usually two appraisals will be done. After the initial work is done property preservation and maintenance must occur. Sometime...

Brits 'top investors in Australian real estate'
2012-04-26 02:00:00 British investors ploughed more money into the Australian real estate sector than any other nationality of overseas financiers in 2010-11. This is the finding of the latest annual report published by the country's Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB). According to the organisation, investors from the UK spent AU$4.61 billion (£2.94 billion) on property in Australia during this period. Chinese buyers were the next most active group, followed by purchasers from the US, the study added. The FIRB publication also revealed the largest proportion of foreign investment in real estate was spent in the state of Victoria, which attracted AU$11.23 billion in funds. New South Wales (NSW) was second on the list, with AU$7.61 billion spent here. In the recent Property Industry Confidence Survey, conducted by the Property Council of Australia and ANZ, sentiment surrounding the NSW real estate market improved for the June quarter. Head of property research at ANZ Paul Braddick explain...
Dubai unveils new law to protect real estate investors
2012-04-26 02:00:00 New proposals have been announced by the Dubai Land Department, which aims to protect foreign investors buying property in the country. The law, which will preserve the rights of investors, is part of the Strategic Plan of the Government of Dubai and could be passed in June. It will prevent developers from selling property until 20 per cent of the project has been completed. Director general of the Dubai Land Department Sultan Bin Mejren said the act will cover all stages of the development process and help to facilitate the relationship between developer and investor. He stated: "The real estate investor protection law in Dubai will be the first law of its kind in the country and the world dedicated to the protection of the rights of a certain category of investors." The latest Knight Frank Global House Price Index showed Dubai property values had risen by 2.3 per cent in the final three months of 2011, compared to the previous quarter.

Israel To Real Estate World: What Global Recession?
2012-04-23 21:44:00 Israel To Real Estate World: What Global Recession?: I?m still scratching my head over this but apparently Israel has secured the bronze when it comes to one of the hottest spots to own property on Earth. Israel was placed third with 5 year growth of 54.5% beating Singapore into fourth place with five year growth of 50.5% but well behind China in top spot with five year growth of 110.9% and Hong Kong in second place with growth of 93.7%. (Globes) The fact that Israel is behind China and Hong Kong is shocking in my honest opinion, as I would have thought other nations (such as Japan, Canada, US?not to mention the dozen plus European countries) would have leaped ahead of this tiny Jewish state. Although Israel?s real estate market is probably going through the same economic pains as everyone else, the nation is apparently doing very well in spite of the global recession.
