The budget is approved in North Las Vegas

2010-05-26T08:55:00.000-07:00

It was said last week that North Las Vegas has approved the new tentative budget, which means that the city is going to cut some jobs. It was a hard decision for the authorities, but they say that they had to cut. The city feels the shortage of money and they had to lay off. The cuts will impact the park, city road maintenance, library and fire brigade department workers. Although they cut the jobs the shortage remains. The locals said that the new cuts should be expected. All this would immediately affect the real estate market, which is not stable at all, and will lead to the number of foreclosures and distressed property. And then, the national government will have to interfere as the local banks lending companies won’t be able to deal with the flood of problematic owners. The more people are made redundant the less they can buy houses for sale in North Las Vegas. Then the prices will drop dramatically and the situation will be drastic on the real estate market. We should only hope that the local authorities will find funds not to lay off more people in the area.

Condos in Florida

2010-04-12T10:53:00.000-07:00

Fannie Mae has developed a new program for providing more mortgage money for stimulating sales of properties throughout Florida. Investors and condo sellers in Florida, for example, houses in West Palm Beach, can get most benefits from this new policy.

According to this program, second time buyers will get the $6,500 tax credit, first time buyers will get $8,000 credit.

Whenever possible I will write about useful things about Symfony and how it helps in rapid web development.

This year real estate market looks a bit optimistic

The research made by the scientists at Colorado State University shows that the residents are in general optimistic about the property market in Northern Colorado in 2010.

They say there’s a span of optimism despite that the tax program will end soon and the interest rates will go up. Some respondents said that they expected to sell houses with more benefits this year than in the previous 2009.

The research asked not only some residents, but some experts who are familiar with the whole process of buying and selling the property. They prove that bad authority regulations caused the wave of foreclosures in the country and the inability of many people to buy property any at all.

Distressed houses make the market fluctuate

2010-03-20T11:27:00.000-07:00

Chicago area has announced the beginning of the buyers’ season in February, but it turned out that the sales of existing distressed houses can slow down the market development.

The number of foreclosures who want to sell a house is increasing thus causing the ripple on the market.

The Illinois Realtor’s Association announced that the sales rose by about 30% compared than one year ago. But at the same time the median price has fallen. This discrepancy is the main concern for the homeowners who want to list their houses in spring. They will have to compete with distressed property, which is more attractive for buyers as it can be cheap and ready to be settled in.

The specialists say that the market is not going to stabilize till the market is free from all foreclosures, but it’s not going to happen in the nearest future s they expect a new wave of foreclosures soon. This is because that many homeowners can’t pay the mortgages.

Web address the same as real address

Some people don’t know where to start selling a house. I want to give some practical tips that helped me a lot.

Launch your own website and make your real address your web address. For example, if you live at 27 Green Street, Seattle, try to get an address like this www.27greenstreetseattle.com . I did it with some of my houses that I wanted to sell. I know that some FSBO sellers use this technique and are happy because it works.

Then try to use this address in your flyers and signs. If you want to advertise your property at some fsbo sites, your ad will look more attractive than an ordinary set of numbers and letters. Buyer are likely to remember your ad especially when they will pass by looking for a house and see your yard sign.

Finding a Reliable and Trusted FSBO Company to Work with

2009-11-05T09:38:00.000-08:00

Today more and more people start selling their property by owner, that means without applying to realtors. It can save big money. It is caused by the fact that the realtor’s commission is, as a rule, rather high (the percentage varies in various states).

But this kind of selling has two most important disadvantages. First of all, you will have to complete all the work by yourself – do all the paperwork, make pictures of the house, list your property, etc. Secondly, you will have to find buyers by yourself. No matter how you’ll do it – by placing an advertisement in the local classifieds, by listing your home at Craigslist or at some for sale by owner site – you’ll need a strategy to promote your home and to draw potential buyers’ attention to it.

But these two drawbacks overweigh the advantages of selling your property by yourself. The best plan of action is to find a professional and reliable FSBO company that will do most of the work for you while allowing you to save an amount you in any task you need to complete – starting from rendering professional consulting services to some practical things such as providing you with a photographer and yard signs.

If you have decided to sell your house and you want to do it with the help of a FSBO company, you have to think over the following things:

Quality of the company.
Every service that the company does or provides (listing, pictures, services) should be professional. You should be sure that your money is not spent in vain.

Advertisements should point potential buyers to your property directly.
The main disadvantage of selling your home with real estate agents is that an agent usually has many houses for sale at once. He doesn’t care which property he will sell first. His aim is to sell the house and get his money. That is why, FSBO is more attractive because the ad will point buyers to you directly. You will talk to them and, if necessary or if you like the buyers, you’ll reduce the price. You are the only authority who makes decisions.

Customer support.
The availability of customer support or service is the key factor in choosing a FSBO company. If you have a problem or need advice on real estate topics, you should have a possibility to talk to a professional. A number of FSBO companies provide such services.

Publicity on real estate sites.
While choosing a company think of its readers. The more the audience of the site, the better exposure your ad will get and the quicker you’ll sell your home. Moreover, some FSBO companies offer additional services like delivering your listing to their partners’ sites.

Help with prequalifying potential customers.
The most troublesome and annoying thing about selling your home by owner is the necessity to deal with ‘buyers’ who in fact don’t want to buy your home. They just want to walk around and look at houses without any special reason. They just waste your time. Some FSBO companies help with this problem by assisting in selection who is really searching for a house.

This list of requirements will help those people who would like to sell their home quickly and with few problems.

I've met a new Internet resource dedicated to yachts and boats. The title is Mr.Boating. It's very similar to the idea of FSBO in the real estate market. hey just provide services helping buyers to find the vehicle they want to buy. For sellers they have free listings and some additional services they charge for.
I liked the design and was surprised with the number of boats and yachts in the database.
I think that if they'll spend time and money for promotion of this project it can be a good investment.

Fundamentals of FOREX capital control (the end)

7. Defining the ratio between possible profit and losses.

For each potential deal the rate of profit is defined independently. Then this rate should be balanced with the potential losses in case if the market goes in the wrong direction. Usually this ratio is 3 to 1. Otherwise you should forget about entering the market. For example, if the trader estimates the risk from the deal as $100, then the potential profit should be $300.

Since only few deals throughout the year can be profitable, it’s essential to get the maximum profit mainatining the positions as long as possible. On the other hand, it’s necessary to minimize the losses from bad deals.

8. Trading with a few positions.

When entering the market with several contracts (i.e. entering into a contract for more than one lot), the trader should divide them into the so-called trend and trading positions. Trend positions are carried out with quite liberal stop-orders that let keep these positions even in the conditions of price consolidation and correction. These positions give the trader the possibility to get the biggest profit. Trading positions are meant for short-term trading and are limited by quite hard stop-orders. Consequently, after reaching certain price points they are closed and after tendency reopening they are recovered.

9. Conservative and aggressive approaches to trading

Most analytics prefer the conservative approach. For example, Trevels, Harlow and Stone in their book "Play on the commodity futures markets" write:

"... the trader, who has the worst possibilities for getting profit but who observes the conservative style of trading, is likely to achieve long-term success more quickly than the trader who has more possibilities for getting success but who plays aggressively".

10. Rules for opening a position:

a) open a position only having one main and one (not less) additional signal;

b) before opening a position formulate and put down the following things in advance:

· the price when entering the market;

· the price at which the profitable position is closed;

· the price at which the unprofitable position is closed;

· the estimated time of the open position “life”.

c) open against the trend carefully and for a short time;

d) open carefully and for a short time during the flat.

11. Rules for maintaining a position and partial closing before the estimated time:

a) maintain the positions only if the analysis proves the conclusions made before;

b) close step-by-step:

· if you get more losses than expected;

· if the price has reached the estimated point for getting profit;

c) wait:

· if you get fewer losses than expected;

· if the price remains at the same level;

· if the price hasn’t reached the estimated point for getting profit.

12. Rules for closing a position:

· on the expiry of the estimated time;

· after getting the estimated profit;

· after getting the estimated losses;

· after reaching the maximum profit.

4. Total margins contributed at opening a position on one market group shouldn’t exceed 20% - 25% of total capital.

The markets, forming one group, move more or less evenly. Opening big positions on each market group trespasses against the principle of diversification, so one should be extremely careful while investing funds into similar markets (for example, software, it-conculting, it-audit and so on). One shouldn’t neglect the very important rule of optimal investments of funds: in a varying degree they should be diversify. The capital should be invested in such way that the losses from one big deal won’t ruin the trader and if possible, will be compensated by the profits from other deals.

On the FOREX markets we can distinguish four main markets inside which the behavior of foreign exchange rates are similar enough: dollar zone, sterling zone, yen zone and euro zone.

5. Defining the degree of portfolio diversification.

Diversification is one of the ways of capital protection. A reasonable compromise between diversification and concentration is always necessary. More or less reliable funds investments can be reached by simultaneous opening positions on 4-6 markets of various groups – but no more. The more the negative correlation value between the markets is, the higher the diversification of invested funds are.

6. Defining the level of stop-loss orders.

Stop-orders are usually positioned over the period of the trader’s absence from his working place. Their main aims are to save the trader form ruining (stop-loss execution) and to provide them with additional (stop-profit).

The stop-loss value depends, firstly, on how much the trader is ready to lose at one deal and, secondly, on his calculations of the market situation.

For example, the trader has S dollar deposit. When opening a position he lets in the losses in the amount of L% of deposit amount.

Suppose that the 100,000 contract was opened with USD buying against CHF selling and at this the opening price was p₁.

Buy USD 100,000;

Sell CHF p₁ x 100,000.

On what p₂level should the trader position an order not to exceed the level of admissible losses SхL?

If the order on the p₂worked, the position loss would be:

Loss=-CHF (p₁-p₂)х100,000.

On the other hand, the loss shouldn’t exceed USD SxL, or in CHF - SxLxp₂. Consequently, we have:

(p₁-p₂)x100,000=SxLxp₂,

from where we get the following expression for the order level:

p₂=p₁-p₁ xSxL/(SxL+100,000).

It’s necessary to note that at defining the stop-order level the trader should consider the reasonable combination of technical factors, price and considerations for private capital protection. The more changeable the market is, the further the stop-loss order levels should be from the current price level. It is in the trader’s interests to position the stop-order as close to the price level as possible to minimize the losses from bad deals. At the same time too “hard” top-orders can lead to undesirable position liquidation at short-term price fluctuations (“frictions”). The furthest stop-orders are not sensitive to “frictions” but can lead to substantial losses.

Fundamentals of capital control

2006-12-21T03:53:00.000-08:00

Work on financial markets is impossible without effective programs of funds investment. Effective capital management allows the trader to “survive” on the markets with marginal trade. Only observing equal proportion between profits and expenses, the trader gets a chance to work and not to play with money.

Let’s consider general principles and rules of capital management.

1. Total investment shouldn’t exceed 50% of total capital.

This principle prescribes the margin calculation rule for open positions: the size of the required reserve for using in non-standard situations and for normal work continuation shouldn’t be less than half of total capital. Murphy introduced this number (50%) but many analytics consider the percentage of invested capital to be 5% - 30%.

2. Total investment made in one market can’t exceed 10% - 15% of total capital.

In this case the trader is guaranteed against investing excessive funds into one deal that can lead to ruin.

3. Risk rate for each market receiving investment from the trader shouldn’t exceed 5% of his total capital.

Thus, if the deal turns out to be unprofitable, the trader is ready to lose no more than 5% of the total amount of his capital. The number “5%” is taken from Murphy’s work but, for example, Elder talks about 1,5% - 2%.
