The Stages of Dubai Property Market
Posted by: | Comments
The real estate along with the property market was almost zilch a few years back. Amongst negligible revenue on the earned income and no tax on the living wage, Dubai captivated marketers and investors from all over the planet.
With the verification of foreign ownership the prospects augmented further and investors became extensively interested in the property of Dubai.
Due to the low-lying outlay, trade house and investors found it money spinning and profit yielding. But they were dubious about the globalization and evolution of Dubai for the reason that it had little productivity, lesser rate of literacy, low standards of living and consisted of people who earned merely to sustain a living.
But Dubai estimably located itself on the ladder of topmost commercial cities. It made a breakthrough via trade and globalization. Hence the immigrants started bucketing in. With this dawn of industrial encroachment and the delirium of the investors into the assets; the population of Dubai embarked on to augment.
The demand started to increase with a tempo that by no means satisfied the supply. The rates of property amplified significantly and are still growing. But in a brandishing city like Dubai, people find it cost-effective to buy estate even at hiked prices.
This headway had to slow down a little. Now the property tariffs are escalating at a lower rate as compared to few years back. This is all because of the demand and supply chart. The estate market has become a little stable than earlier.
Now the constructors do not let out the property for sale as candidly as they used to. Earlier the main concept was to acquire and to resell. This used to prolong in order to gain maximum proceeds. But now the constructors have become business minded. They do not agree to let out property prices sooner than the groundbreaking of the construction land. They even wait for the development of entire city in order to discern the accurate worth of the property and to attain maximum turnover.
Due to such marketing prototypes, the estate market is believed to have matured but this does not entail that it is in decline phase. Rather the market has dispensed with the conjecture fragment and has grown to be secure in all stipulations. This maturity in the market will lead to the enduring growth of the market and will direct it into a strong position.
Although the profit margins have condensed for new investors, there is still a demand due to low taxes and all the perquisites and amenities that Dubai proffers.
Also the demand protracts and will prolong in the potential times. Investment in property currently could harvest massive profits in terms of renting it to the tourists and then reselling it when market matures for their property

Commercial Real Estate Development
Posted by: | CommentsNumerous things have to be taken into consideration when undertaking a commercial real estate venture. Needed space, location, decisions to lease or purchase property, moving issues, building plans and regulations, consultants, involved fees. All these things must be considered before one delves into the commercial development project.
When deciding on how much space will be required, several things must be taken into consideration. What will be my cost? How convenient is the location to my targeted customer? How about transportation? What about utility availability? One must decide what will be best for the business.
If plans are to lease, it must be noted that your lease will play an important part in the lease negotiation. Although a standard five year lease is usually used by the leasing broker, a commercial lease of 3 years minimum and 10 years is also commonly used. When deciding on how long your lease should be, make sure you think about your business flexibility and the rental rate.
At the end of the lease, it is very likely that the owner of the property has already committed to another customer, so moving issues come into play. Preparatory measures must be executed prior to the move in order for things to go smoothly. This should be initiated at least 2 months before the planned move, starting with negotiations for the move, standard items that will be needed (mailing labels, presentation paper, bank, checks and deposit slips, business cards, etc.), whether or not you will keep the same logo and design for your business, telecommunication services, security systems and so on.
Other things to be considered are, confirmation of telecommunication installation, ordering appropriate packing supplies, scheduling packing and moving, making sure that the freight elevator at both locations are reserved, choosing the moving company (make sure your choice of moving company provides insurance certificate) and make certain you notify your insurance company about the move.
One month before the move, reconfirm your move in and move out dates. Make sure that the moving company has already provided their moving certificate and provide them with your employee’s names for security purposes. The day before the move, walk through the new location to make sure that nothing has been left undone., make your final confirmation calls, be certain you have the keys for the new location, and this is very important, make sure your insurance is in affect.
This article has touched on many of the things involved in the procurement of a new location for your business but even more is involved. The closing of the lease and the arrangements such as, regulations and rules of the building at your new location, noise levels, usage of freight elevators, architectural design services for planning space and the like.

Getting Your Commercial Property Purchase Closed: The “Owner Carry”
Posted by: | Comments
With commercial real estate sales volumes down 60% nationwide, it seems as if almost every market is slowing down. Lenders are being much more conservative … and sellers are hesitant to accept that their properties are now 5 to 10% less valuable than this time two years ago.
Here is a tool that may help you be the “Larry the Cable Guy” in your local market and “Git a Deal Done”. You know it already…
It’s called the “Owner Carry”
The owner carry is when your Seller (the current Owner) “Carries” part of the debt you use to purchase their property. This is usually in the form of a note that sits in second position behind the Mortgage.
When you purchase a property with an Owner Carry, you basically have two loans. The first loan is from the bank or other lender and is usually the largest, the second loan you owe to the Seller.
=============
Power-Play:
If you find a Seller who owns their property free and clear, you can negotiate for a 100% owner carry. In this situation, you provide a down payment and the owner carries a single loan. You don’t even need a bank for this transaction.
=============
How to negotiate an Owner Carry …
When discussing an Owner Carry with the Seller it absolutely imperative you understand the benefits the Owner Carry gives THEM. You must establish the Owner Carry as a win-win proposition. You win because it lowers the amount of money you must borrow and the cash you need to put into the deal.
The Owner/Seller wins in three ways.
1) No Carry … No Deal …
In many cases a significant Owner Carry is the only way the deal makes sense in the current market – it may be the only way you will complete the purchase and the only way they can sell the property.
With our credit crunch in full swing, negotiating an Owner Carry may be much less difficult than getting a larger mortgage. And when you run your investor’s pro forma you may see that an Owner Carry offers the only way for you to hit your ROI numbers.
Rule of thumb is this:
- The less they owe
- And the more motivated they are to sell – for whatever reason …
The more likely you will be able to negotiate a favorable Owner Carry
2) Maintain an Income Stream …
An Owner Carry allows the seller to maintain an income stream from the property without the hassles of property management. They get Passive Income, You manage the property. For a Seller in trouble who has negative cash flow and is “feeding the beast”, selling with an Owner Carry actually reestablishes positive cash flow for them.
3) Defer Cap Gains Taxes …
An Owner Carry defers the Seller’s Capital Gains tax payments on the amount of the loan.
Summary:
An Owner Carry benefits the Seller because:
- It gets the Deal Done
- It gives them Passive Income
- It defers Cap Gains taxes
Ask for it upfront…
If you need an Owner Carry make sure you ask for it in the LOI. Follow up the letter with the call directly to the seller and tell them why you feel the Owner Carry is a win-win structure. And make sure you let the Broker know this is the only way you will purchase the property. They become an ally in convincing the Seller to accept.
=============
Power Tip:
If the numbers make sense, you may wish to present a Two-Part Offer:
A higher price with an Owner Carry and a lower price without one. You will basically give them full price, in exchange for favorable terms on the Owner Carry.
=============
Carry Back Terms:
Ask for as long a note as you can get. Typical time periods are 3, 5, 7 and 10 years. Offer a reasonable interest rate — something around 6% in today’s market. And try to make the Owner Carry co-terminous (end at the same time as) your underlying mortgage.
==============
Yet Another Power Tip:
If you need money for rehab, here is how you can use the Owner Carry to get that money from cash flow at the property…
When you and the seller agree that rehab is essential, you can ask the seller to defer payments on the owner carry back for a period of several months.
The terms might look like this: a five-year note for $200,000 at 6% interest with no payments for the first six months. This would give $2000 a month for a total of $6000 you can use for improvements … taken right out of the property’s cash flow.
===============
Those are the basics of the Owner Carry. Make sure you review and understand the concepts. The Owner Carry may be the key to your next Commercial Property purchase.

Commercial Development in Houston
Posted by: | CommentsHouston may be a big city, but anyone who thinks that it is done developing is missing out on some great opportunities for commercial building both in the center of the city and in the expanding outer edges of Houston. Anyone looking for development in the city for commercial purposes should be able to find and take advantage of some of the many opportunities, like finding a ground lease for sale. Houston is a big city, and it is still growing fast.
One of the best ways to find a great new commercial zone in which to build is to watch for the appearance of master panned communities springing up in the areas around the city. With each master plan commercial, Houston grows to meet the needs of the new community for shopping and entertainment to amenities like Starbucks. This can provide a lot of excellent opportunities for development and for wise investors to make plenty of money on ground leases and retail pads. Houston has massive development underway, and it is only picking up momentum.
For those wise enough to see where the money and efforts are flowing and jump on the bandwagon quickly, there are opportunities aplenty to take advantage of in retail pads. Houston, while building on a ground lease could prove profitable, buying up ground leases in the newly developing areas could make you a small fortune (or a not-so-small fortune) if you invest wisely.
Where once there was only open land around the city, master planned communities are growing up seemingly right out of the ground, and Houston is gaining in size and commercial activity alike. New retail centers are springing up around these communities, and the money that is there to be made is incredible if you know how to invest properly and take advantage of the opportunities as they present themselves.
So what can be done? Buy up any ground lease for sale. Houston is only getting bigger, and you can take advantage of that fact by purchasing as much of the land and leased land around the city as possible, especially in areas likely to develop soon. Watch for master planned communities and the commercial centers that are likely to grow up to service them, and keep an eye out for new retail pads. Houston, it won’t take much for a smart investment to turn into plenty of cash to be reinvested if you work smart.
