Dharuhera – Riding the affordable housing wave


burj khalifa
burj khalifa
Dharuhera has emerged as a promising destination as far as property in theNational Capital Region (NCR) is concerned. As Gurgaon reaches a saturation point in terms of the population it can accommodate, development of infrastructure, residential and commercial real estate, in the adjoining locations are being sought by state authorities as well as private developers to meet the seemingly insatiable need for housing here. Further, development of transport links like the National Highway 8 (NH have ensured a significant reduction in travel time, so much so that executives working in Gurgaon may reside at Dharuhera and not lose sleep over the commute to their workplace.
Dharuhera is situated in the Rewari district of Haryana and is fast emerging as an industrial hub of Haryana. Hero Honda, Lumax and SAB Miller are among the major industries located here. The level of infrastructural and industrial development being higher than most neighbouring areas, a number of Indian corporates and MNCs are making a beeline for Dharuhera. Commercial expansion will naturally entail real estate development – to provide accommodation for those employed in these industries. Moreover, the demand would be for affordable housing options priced under Rs 50 lakh. This is being cashed in by a number of developers like Vipul Group, Bestech and Parsvnath who have launched affordable housing projects in Dharuhera.
The Vipul Group’s “Vipul Gardens” is an affordable group-housing project strategically located on NH 8. This project was launched in early 2010 and is expected to take approximately 30 months to complete. It offers 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments in a price range of Rs 15-35 lakh. According to Dipankar Chaudhury, marketing manager of the Vipul Group, “The response so far has been decent considering that the project is still in its early stages and gives reason to be optimistic about the future.” The target end users for Vipul Gardens comprise people employed in the neighbouring industrial areas of Bhiwadi and Rewari, in addition to those working in Dharuhera itself. Moreover, the commercial hub of Industrial Model Township (IMT) Manesar, 24km away, is expected to provide ample clientele for this project.
The Parsvnath Group launched “Parsvnath City”, an integrated township in Dharuhera, comprising three residential projects – Parsvnath Pleasant, Parsvnath Elite Villas and Parsvnath Elite Floors – all expected to be completed within the next two years. While all three projects have residential options available at sub-Rs 50 lakh range, Elite Floors is being tagged as the flagship affordable housing project offering builder floor apartments within a price range of Rs 17-23 lakh. These are G+2 storey apartments covering 240, 300 and 400 square yards. Parsvnath Pleasant and Elite Villas are airconditioned luxury housing options priced at Rs 40 lakh and above.
Bestech City is an integrated township launched by Bestech Developers at Dharuhera on NH 8. Its major residential project is “Bestech Park View Delight”, which comprises 2, 2+study and 3 bedroom multistorey apartments with a starting price range of Rs 18-22 lakh. In addition, Bestech City offers within the township facilities like a nursery and primary school, nursing home, among other.
Residential development in Dharuhera is being driven by the affordable housing bandwagon. While distance from the more developed regions of Delhi and Gurgaon may work against it, the availability of low-cost housing options is expected to bring in the masses due to the rapidly rising property values in Delhi and Gurgaon. The proposed widening and expansion of the NH 8 bodes well for the upcoming residential projects in this locality as it will further cut travel time. Thus, Dharuhera is a locality to watch out for in the next two years, by when most of the current projects are expected to be complete.

Protect Your Deposit When Buying Real Estate

Info By – www.dwarkadhis.in
Real Estate Forumwww.dwarkadhis.in/forum
When you start the process of buying a home or any type of real estate, you’ll no doubt hear the term “earnest money deposit” (EMD). So what exactly is an EMD?
An EMD becomes relevant when you are ready to make an offer on a property. In most states, your Real Estate Agent prepares the offer on your behalf. The offer usually takes the form of a written contract that is submitted to the seller by way of their agent.
In addition to the offer document, sellers typically expect an EMD. An EMD is a monetary deposit submitted via check to demonstrate to the seller that you are a serious buyer. In some regions of the country, only a photocopy of the check is submitted with the offer, and the original check is delivered to the appropriate entity if the offer is accepted. Ask your Real Estate Agent to clarify how deposits are handled in your region of the country.
The check is usually made out to an independent third- party such as a Title Company, Escrow Company, Real Estate Attorney or your Real Estate Broker. Ask your Real Estate Agent to clarify who will hold the EMD.
The amount of the EMD sellers expect varies by region. The EMD amount is based on the customs and practices for a region, but is generally from 1% to 2% of the purchase price. In a competitive market place where demand exceeds the supply of homes, some buyers may offer a higher EMD than expected to impress the seller of their intent. In determining the amount of your EMD, consult your Real Estate Agent and balance the need to demonstrate your serious intent, against the good business practice of minimizing the deposit amount.
The amount of the EMD is usually applied to reduce the purchase price of the property or to cover closing costs, as you dictate. For example, if you are purchasing a $300,000 property and you give an EMD of $3000, then the remaining balance owned at closing is $297,000 (plus closing costs). Alternatively, you may direct that the EMD be applied toward the closing costs.
Once a valid contract for purchase is created, an independent third-party usually holds the EMD until the purchase is either completed or cancelled. At this point, the money belongs jointly to both the seller and the buyer.
In cases where you make an offer that is accepted but later decide to cancel the offer, the terms specified in the contract (or state law) will dictate if, and under what circumstances, the EMD is returned to you. Be aware that you could loose your deposit if you do not not comply with the terms of your contract. Your Real Estate Agent can provide you information about how EMDs are dealt with if a contract is cancelled.
Since state law varies by region and practices can differ even within the same state, be sure to consult your Real Estate agent about the rules that apply to EMDs in your region of the country. You should also be aware that the EMD is not related to any down payment
that you make toward your home loan.

Strategies For Buying Real Estate In A Slow Market

Info By – www.dwarkadhis.in
Real Estate Forum – www.dwarkadhis.in/forum
The real estate market tends to be cyclical with some periods favoring buyers and other periods favoring sellers. As with other free markets, the pricing and availability of real estate is directly related to the forces of supply and demand. While many real estate markets in the United States are experiencing a substantial slowdown, other markets remain robust, and some even continue to grow. What makes the situation even more complicated is that even within a particular city or county, there may be some areas that are hot and others that are cold.

In regions of the country in which the real estate market is slowing, there are some things homebuyers can do to increase their chance of getting the property that they want on terms that are favorable. Below are some strategies to consider:

1. Clarify What You Want. Be sure to understand what kind of property you want (e.g. bedrooms, bathrooms, size, yard, location, etc.). Identify items that you "must have" and items that you would be willing to forego if your other priorities were met.

2. Consult Experts. You've no doubt heard the saying that "all real estate is local," so arm yourself with the best information available. Consult a local real estate expert who can guide you about what communities are hot and which ones are not. Obviously, you are more likely to find deals in communities that have excess supply and limited demand than vice versa.

3. Understand Market Data. Obtaining and evaluating data can be one of the most powerful tools in your arsenal. Identify communities that you find desirable and ask your real estate agent to provide you relevant sales statistics. For example, your agent can provide you:

a. A summary of how many properties are available in communities that you deem desirable.

b. How long properties are taking to sell this month, last month, last quarter, last year, etc.

c. How many properties have sold this month, last month, last quarter, last year, etc.

d. Changes in the median and average price of properties for a community this month, last month, last quarter, last year, etc.

e. Data on the sales price to list price ratio (SP: LP). This ratio provides information about how much, on average, sellers are reducing their price.

f. Detailed data on properties that are similar to the type of property you desire (often known as "comparables" or "comps").

4. High Inventory Communities. Identify, or ask your agent to identify, communities that appear to be particularly slow, and that have an unusually large inventory of homes. You will have a broader variety of options in these communities, and you may increase the likelihood of finding a better deal.

5. Loan Pre-Approval. Be sure to consult with your bank or mortgage broker and obtain a loan pre-approval document. This not only let's you know how much you can afford, but it also demonstrates to sellers that you are a serious buyer and that your offer is worthy of serious consideration.

6. Seller's Motivation. While information about why a seller is selling is usually confidential, there are situations in which the seller will allow their agent to disclose important factors regarding their personal situation. Be sure to ask your agent to inquire about any information that the seller has disclosed to his/her agent that can be conveyed to your agent. This information may help you decide on making an offer on a property and the price you wish to offer.

7. Home Inspection. A home inspection conducted by a qualified inspector can provide you valuable information about the condition of a property. Moreover, if there are items that need repair or replacement, you can use this information to modify your offer price or terms.

8. Expand Search Scope. As mentioned above, even within a particular city or county, there may be some areas that are hot and others that are not. Be sure to provided detailed information about what you want to your agent, so that he/she can provide you a variety of community options.

9. Be Patient. Time is on your side when there is excess supply and insufficient demand. Try not to "fall in love" with a house so much that you cannot be objective. It may be that multiple offers and counter-offers occur before you either get the property you want or decide to walk way from a deal. You may also want to look at more properties than you normally would, so that you are exposed to a variety of options.

While the above is not an exhaustive list of strategies, it is a good starting point of issues to consider when buying real estate, particularly in a market that favors buyers. Obtain the services of a knowledgeable Real Estate agent who can provide you with additional strategies to help you reach your real estate objectives.

Myths About Real Estate Agents

Myths About Real Estate Agents
 Myths About Real Estate Agents


Info By – www.dwarkadhis.in
Real Estate Forumwww.dwarkadhis.in/forum
There are some myths about real estate agents, many of which are not so flattering. But when it comes down to it, real estate agents are not too out there, and there is a logical explanation to each misconception. Let’s straighten out a couple myths and facts.

Myth #1: They have big hair.
Fact: Though occasionally real estate agents do have big hair, most are regular people who get up in the morning just like you do, and go to work just like you do. Many real estate agents, in fact, are going bald due to stress related hair loss. Same with the fancy dagger-shaped manicures; in actuality, many real estate agents have bitten their nails down to nubs.

Myth #2: Real Estate Agents drive luxury cars while talking on their cell phones.
Fact: Itâ??s true that real estate agents are often trying to do too many things at once, but they like to be careful about it. And though real estate agents would like to make a good impression on you, more often than not they drive Hondas and Toyotas and hope that their hard work will sell you, not their Lexus.

Myth #3: Real Estate Agents know your area.
Fact: Just like normal people, real estate agents canâ??t know everything. Though they do spend a lot of time driving around town, they canâ??t be in all places at once, and they themselves probably have preferences for one neighborhood versus another. Make it clear to your realtor what kind of area you want to live in, and they can help you look within that section of town.

Myth #4: Real Estate Agents live outside of time.
Fact: Real estate agents have lives too, and those lives happen to take place in the same physical realm as yours does. While it might seem like they spend a strangely disproportionate chunk of time speaking with you, they are actually trying to be as time-conscious as possible, so that you can move more quickly into your home and they can move more quickly to helping their next client.
Myth #5: Real Estate Agents just want your money.
Fact: What real estate agents actually want is an easy life. They want to help you find a home you love, and they want to make their (often small) bit of commission off of it (and thatâ??s off the sale, not out of your pocket). They do not want your soul or your firstborn, just some patience, consideration, and a positive home-buying experience for all.

Real Estate Accounting -To Make Sure Your Real Estate Worry

Real Estate Accounting -To Make Sure Your Real Estate Worry Becomes History

Are you in the real estate business and done know what to do with your accounting problems? Is making a balance sheet and income statement causing you to lose sleep? Real estate accounting is quite different from the accounting one learns in school. For small businesses where one has to worry about how to increase customer attention, accounting problems are often taking for granted. Real estate accounting is important and vital for the company to continue existence.

Here are a few reasons why Real estate accounting becomes a necessity.People in the real estate business don’t often have time for accounting. They are the kinds that don’t touch accounting until the time comes to pay taxes. This is a very wrong approach. Firstly, accounting needs to be done the minute a transaction is recorded. Else the amounts get distorted and the tax payment amount becomes different. Accounting is important is it is often said that accounts are the face of the business.

There are a lot of people who depend on accounting. There are the stakeholders and shareholders who need to know if the money they have invested in is reaping profits or not. Then there are creditors and debtors like banks and loan agencies who also need to know if the company has to potential to repay the loan back in time with principle and interest. Then there are prospective investors who decided about buying the stock or a stake in the company based on the books of accounts. Then comes the government who will decided just how much taxes the company should pay based on the profits from the books of accounts.

Real estate accounting is very different from normal accounting, the procedures followed and the way the books are maintained are different. The policies and the percentage of tax paid varies from one industry to another and real estate industry is extremely different from any other industry, hence the procedures are all the more difficult as well as different. The need for a professional who knows the in and out of accounting becomes mandatory. The professional should also have relevant work experience else that person would be bound to make mistakes. Hence real estate accounting is not only important but also vital.

There exists a trend of outsourcing real estate accounting work. There are firms that focus in outsourcing for real estate since real estate accounting is a very complex procedure altogether. Outsourcing work can be done outside of the country as well since it does not need any sort of direct contact with the client. The work done hence is much economical than what expenses a company would endure had it employed a CPA or had it spent in software for its accounting wants and requirements. There are also other benefits in the process of outsourcing hence it comes as no shock that firms world over are using this trend to increase market dominance and keep business healthy.

There are various outsourcing firm that provides different business developing and enhancing services including search engine optimization, affiliate marketing, social media optimization, and bookkeeping services.

Avoid Top 10 Mistakes Made By Real Estate Investors

investor relations
investor relations
Info By – www.dwarkadhis.in
Real Estate Forumwww.dwarkadhis.in/forum
Real estate investment is perhaps one of the most lucrative forms of investment today. But it is also equally risk bound especially when one is not well versed with the trends and nuances of the real estate market. So if you are contemplating on investing in real estate, it is best to avoid costly mistakes in real estate investment especially when you invest your hard earned money into it. Knowing the most common mistakes made by real estate investors helps one steer away from making such mistakes in the future and ensures good return on investment.
Here are the top ten mistakes made by real estate investors, according to bankrate.com. Bankrate has put together the top ten mistakes after speaking to established, full-time real estate investors and other professionals involved in real estate investment such as bankers. Read on to know them and avoid them.
1. Not planning up ahead. Lack of a proper plan is the biggest mistake made by novice investors. Finding a house after forming a proper investment strategy is the right way instead of looking for a house to fit the plan. Many make the mistake of buying a house because it seems to be a good deal and then trying to see how they can fit it into their plan. Instead of buying a house and thinking one can plan in due course, investors should rather concentrate on the numbers and try to make offers on multiple properties. This will ensure a good property that not only matches their investment model but also works out well with the numbers they had planned for.
2. To believe you can make money quickly. The second major mistake that real estate investors make is to think it is very easy to get rich in real estate. This is only a myth and the reality is that investing in real estate is a long term project.
3. Doing it single-handedly. For becoming a successful real estate investor one needs to build a team of professionals who would assist the investor in his deals. This would ideally include a real estate agent, an appraiser, a home inspector, a closing attorney and a lender.
4. Making excess payment. One another reason that investors in real estate goof up in their investment is by paying too much for the properties they buy. Paying too much and locking up all the funds in the erred property deal will leave you with no money to redeem yourself.
5. Leaving out the groundwork. Not doing your homework could be a costly mistake if you were a real estate investor. Every field of business needs sufficient amount of homework to be done, and real estate investment is no exception. Learn the fundamentals and then venture into investing in properties.
6. Throwing caution to the winds. Investors have to exercise a certain degree of caution and take earnest efforts while making a deal. New investors often fail in this regard and sign a deal without doing adequate research on the property.
7. Miscalculating money flow. Investors whose strategy is to buy, hold and rent out properties need to ensure sufficient cash flow for maintenance. Property managers could be expensive and the owner has to incur more expenses such as mortgage, taxes, insurance, advertising costs etc. Investors have to allocate their budget such that all these expenses are taken care of, or end up having their asset turn into a liability.
8. Lowering the volume. A larger volume of deals or transactions helps in increasing the profits by reducing the impacts of marginal deals.
9. Getting trapped in your own deal. Having more number of options at hand for the property you buy is a wise strategy. This helps one to be prepared for fluctuations in the real estate market. Plans to rent out the house could go awry when the rental market slumps. Having alternative plans helps you cut down losses and tackle unexpected situations.
10. Making incorrect estimates. People who plan to rehab their house need to check if they will still reap the benefits at double the time that they had estimated. This ensures they do not miscalculate and lose money on the deal.

First, have your investment objectives clearly set out and precisely stated. Many people who buy investment property basically have three objectives. You may want to buy a property that you will quickly sell to make profits without having to wait for so long. Other investors buy property as a long term investment
. That means, they are ready and will have to wait for a considerably long period of time before they can start reaping from the investment. The other kind of property investment is where the investor buy’s property for rental.
Depending on your investment objective, various strategies can then be employed. It is most challenging when you want to buy property that you intend to flip quickly. Here, you need to get yourself a property in a prime location, where many buyers will be willing to buy, and that is the challenge. The fact that the property will be having many willing buyers means that it is definitely going to be expensive. You need to be very timely and in good knowledge of the property value in the area. You should then be able to get yourself the best bargains lest you end up with a property you won’t be able to sell.
Long term property investment is less challenging to buy. What the investor needs to know is the development trends so as to buy the property in a potential area. This is not very difficult to establish as developing areas can easily be identified. In long term investment, one should go for the lowest priced property as they will have to wait long before they can be able to resell the property. However, that will depend on the amount of time you are willing to wait.
Many factors need to be put to consideration when buying residential investment property. First, keep in mind that security is a priority for many people and your tenants will not be an exception. Residential property should also be easily accessible. The infrastructure should be good but not too complex. The area should have social amenities such as schools, medical facilities and shopping malls. When considering residential investment property, always remember that apartment units are easier to rent out compared to whole house units.
Despite the investment objective you may be having, the condition of the property at the time of buying should be seriously considered. You should take time to thoroughly examine the property before buying it. This will save you unnecessary costs that may arise from doing repairs. Some property may also be in such a state that they will need constant maintenance which can be quite costly.
