Chartered accountant and property guru Ajay Ahuja has devised a model that all professional investors should follow. It is this model, the property clock, that has taken him from an initial investment of GBP 500 to a portfolio of 100 properties worth over GBP 6m in less than 5 years.Ajay’s clock is here to stay due to: the capacity for every area to operate according to its own fundamentals; the introduction of the buy-to-let mortgage in the late 90s; the propensity of property prices to be volatile; the stable nature of market rents; and the emergence of bandwagon-type investors. It is a long awaited new edition, revised and updated. It provides expert information from the best-selling author of “The Buy to Let Bible”, “How to Make a Fortune on the Internet”.

We’ve all heard the reports—the great housing boom that has fueled premium prices and sellers’ dreams is slowing down.

* the history, nature, and dynamics of market ‘bubbles’
* how to anticipate a coming downturn and act accordingly
* the regional nature of real estate market conditions
* differences and similarities in residential and commercial markets
* other profit strategies when selling is difficult or impossible
* how to analyze the market using facts, not hype

Thorough and well-reasoned, Beyond the Bubble will help property owners maintain a strong and level foundation for their financial futures.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A MILLION DOLLARS? For the majority of Americans the answer to this question will remain only a dream-but not to Todd Babbitt, who reached his goal of being a millionaire while still in his 20s. Millionaire by 28 recounts Babbitt s rise from middle-class dreamer to multimillionaire without having extraordinary talents or connections. While many books written about an individual’s climb to wealth make for interesting reading, few inspire readers to take action. Millionaire by 28 differs because it is an interesting read and a money-making manual all in one. Babbitt recommends that anyone interested in becoming a multimillionaire should pursue their dream to answer the question: What would you do with a million dollars? No super human talent required.

This book focuses on new ideas in real estate investment. Using empirical studies, literature reviews and tutorials, the editors examine a wide range of investment issues including, real estate investment trusts, commercial real estate, real estate investment performance, optimal portfolio allocation, risk premium for real property investments, inflation hedging, income property, and event studies on real estate returns.

Real estate finance is a fast-developing area where top quality research is in great demand.

The market overseas could be considerably larger, especially in Asia.

Given the rapidly growing real estate securities industry, this book fills an important gap in current real estate research and teaching. It is an ideal reference for investment professionals as well as senior MBA and PhD students.

The complete real estate investment guide, by the nation’s most honored investment broker.

The book describes and documents the arrogance fraud, and tricks used by countless numbers of people and groups that resulted in the worst housing, financial and credit debacles since the great depression, if not since the origin of the United States.

Most people fail to understand rate of return because, they confuse cash flow with, “making something on their money”. They can’t see their wealth building so, they think that they are not making anything.

In real estate, rate of return means the total amount earned and it includes but, not limited to cash flow. Some of your wealth may, for a short time, be invisible because, you don’t actually have the green stuff in your hands. The amount of your rental income, after expenses, is your cash flow. This, however, is only part of your return for the year.

This new edition includes the contributions of two new authors, including a former president of the State Bar of California Real Property Executive Committee and a former reporter to the California Committee to Reform Disclosure laws. Cases and materials have been updated to reflect the latest developments in the field.

A young couple in Toronto starts house-hunting with a $450,000 budget and ends up with a $700,000 home, after losing fifteen bidding wars. In Vancouver the average bungalow soars past $900,000. In Saskatoon, house values rock higher 56 per cent in one year. At the same time, real estate values in the US plunge for the first time since the Great Depression. Millions of families are forced out of their homes. Canadians are told it can’t happen here, while first-time buyers outside Toronto sign up for monster houses with virtually no down payment and 40-year mortgages for 98 per cent of the cost. When the average family can no longer afford the average home, how can so many people be deluded into believing a boom will last forever—when none has before? How could we have put so much money into something we might never be able to sell, except to a greater fool? Truth is, homeowners and homebuyers have been seduced by a cabal made up of real estate marketers, builders, lenders and bankers, along with a pliant media, to buy, buy, buy. Canada has its own, hidden debt crisis just as dire as the subprime mortgage fiasco, and the same self-dealing industry tactics have led us to put more than 80 per cent of our net worth into a single asset, ignoring the obvious threats and repeating the disastrous mistakes of others. Are we next? Yes.
