Charles and Kim Petty explains virtual wholesaling. “In today’s real estate market foreclosures and motivated sellers are everywhere. So what is the best money making strategy for you as an investor. That would be wholesaling the properties,” says Charles. What is wholesaling? Wholesaling is finding a bargain property and passing it on to another investor. That investor will either buy or hold the property or they will buy and resell it. The property can be a single family home, a multi family home, land, lots, commercial buildings, apartment buildings, pre-construction homes, condos or even new homes. It is simply finding a bargain property and passing it on to a bargain hunter. That bargain hunter will be an investor who will either purchase the property to resell it or purchase it to hold it for rental income. Profits as a wholesaler should be between five thousand and thirty thousand dollars on each house. In some cases it will be higher and some deals the profit may be a little lower. Read more…

Property Portfolio Manager, Young Group, is extending its asset management service to institutional investors, property companies, lenders that have taken direct control of property, and developers with part built or completed stock with low/no sales volume.
The Portfolio Management team comprises senior accountants and surveyors with commercial and residential property experience. They take a strategic approach to asset management that is more commonly found within the commercial property arena.

Young Group’s Property Portfolio Management (PPM) service draws on the capabilities of the group companies to manage residential assets through the entire investment cycle. By having this single point of contact service, institutional clients benefit from a coherent strategic approach to management and, where appropriate, best value disposal of their residential assets.

The PPM service is supported on a day-to-day basis by Young London, Young Group’s own London-based estate agency, which manages more than 300 residential property assets across the capital, and by the Group’s furnishing business, Young Furnishing.

Young Group’s CEO, Neil Young points out: “Time and time again we find that Young Group can outperform more traditional approaches to holding, managing and disposing of residential property, particularly in this challenging market.”

Neil Young, continues; “our PPM service has already proved its worth for our global client base of private investors and in the current economic climate, institutional investors with an interest in residential property assets are turning to us for our expertise.

“We are already in discussion with a number of institutional investors and lenders in regard to developing and implementing a coherent strategy for managing their portfolios of residential property assets.

“It’s not rocket science to know that dumping portfolios onto the open market brings poor returns. The skill is in taking a strategic approach, looking at each specific asset, and ensuring that the best possible returns are generated.”

Located 55km from Reykjavik, Tjarnabyggd is offering the unique opportunity to invest in solid, fertile land in a peaceful area surrounded by magnificent nature and close to a large bird conservation reserve.

Residential land on the south coast is now available as a great investment opportunity in Iceland for individuals and families, as well as investors, to build houses, establish small farms for keeping domestic animals, small scale land cultivation or other related activities.

The land covers an area of 600 hectares divided into 61 clusters. Each cluster consists of 6 plots of about 10.000 m2 each. Individual plots may be bought as well as more clusters depending on the size of land investors wish to acquire. The clusters are separated by walkways and 5m wide riding tracks.

Activities such as horse riding, farmhouse accommodation, and horticulture are all very well suited to the region with fertile soil and diverse riding tracks and good pasture ideal for those keeping horses.

The size of the Iceland land investment plots ranges from 1 – 6 hectares. There is no heavy industry on the south coast of Iceland, the tap water is of excellent quality and the land is provided with communal geothermal heated water – for home heating and baths, but also great for any hot tubs or greenhouses.

Tjarnabyggd counts as a suburb, only 4km from the centre of Selfoss. Selfoss is the major town in the area and offers a wide range of services, such as shops, post office, bars, tradesmen and companies providing technical services.
