Austria is located in central Europe; it joined the European Union in 1995 and entered the European Monetary Union in 1999. Up until Austria's entry in to the EU there had been a number of restrictions on foreigners owning homes in Austria with permission needed from local authorities.. However, these laws are to be reviewed to fall in line with the rest of Europe. When considering purchasing a property in Austria it is a must to remember that overall the costs associated with property in Austria are higher than any other country in Europe.
In addition, the cost of living in Austria generally is higher than any other country in Europe at the present time. Property Prices in Austria Guide Prices vary, for example: From £50,000 to £79,500 for a studio apartment From around £70,000 to £93,500 for a 1 to 2 bedroom apartment From £80,000 to £111,000 and up for a 3 bedroom apartment Detached homes from £180,000 to £250,000 Where to buy Austria boasts some of the best ski areas in Europe and as such these areas are popular with foreign buyers, especially as holiday homes. The main areas of population in Austria remain around the Innsbruck, Salzburg and Vienna regions which make up about 70% of the total population. Fees payable The standard usually works out at approximately 10% of the sale price; Property transfer tax of 3.5% Notary fees around 3-4%. Property registration around 1% Stamp duty 0.5-1% Land registry fees averaging a payment of around £300 to £420.
Taxes Will be between 0.5-1% of the properties assessed value and should be lower than the market sale value. Wealth tax of 1% of your net worth irrespective of your resident status is charged for Austrian property owners. Finance Can be arranged through either international brokers or from an Austrian bank for both residents and non-residents with variable interest rates and payment terms being available.

Real Estate School
by Anne Peterson
With the economy where it is today, there is no better time than now to get involved with real estate. In order to sell real estate with a company, you'll need to have your license - which is where a real estate school can help you. As you may know, buying a home involves many different decisions about where you will live and for how many years. Along with geographical decisions, it will often have implication for your financial future as well.
For this very reason, almost all home buyers will enlist the services of a real estate broker or agent to help them make those types of decisions. A real estate agent is someone who is licensed by their state to handle the sales of real estate, while a real estate broker is also licensed by the state, but who has the overall responsibility for the actions of a real estate agent. To determine the value and fair market retail of a home that is for sale, a real estate agent may enlist the services of a real estate appraiser.
No matter what you state you happen to reside in, you can find a real estate school to help you obtain your license. Those of you who are time restrictions or don't like to travel too far from home, can get your license online. A real estate license doesn't require a lot of time, yet it will help you get your foot in the door when it comes to the vast world of real estate. Real estate agents, brokers, and appraisers make really good money, and generally get a commission on each house they successfully sell.
If you've been looking for a career that will give to you what you put into it, real estate is the career for you. Even if you have no experience with real estate, a real estate school can give you all of the training you need. Then, when the time comes to buy your own home, you can do it yourself. Knowing the real estate market and knowing what to look for can save you a ton of money when buying your own house or property.

Discover China: A Special Preview
by Vinnie Apicella
While the Chinese government has kept its currency, the Yuan (RMB), virtually pegged to the U.S. dollar for the past decade, the U.S. and other trading partners say that the rate is too low and gives Chinese exporters an unfair price advantage. While this has been and remains a point of contention with the many global powers, in July 2005, China had taken steps to loosen this peg by tying it to a basket of foreign currencies and allowing it float, at least marginally. So while this may continue to plague global businesses, it does still benefit the cost-conscious consumer so long as the "Made in China" label continues to prevail. One dollar is now equal to approximately eight Yuan.
But progress continues to be made, if slow and steady. In April 2006, the Chinese government said it would allow companies and individuals to invest overseas for the first time. The decision to let foreign currency flow out of China could eventually reduce pressure on the government-controlled exchange rate of the Yuan and step further toward making it a freely convertible currency. Until now, China has required companies to sell the government most of their foreign earnings and obtain approval to invest overseas.
"To Get Rich is Glorious" -Deng Xiaoping (1978)
Well there you have it...and then the floodgates opened.
Astounding development can be seen in many Chinese cities, but to try to even come close to covering that much ground in a single report would require a mind-boggling amount of research and analysis and countless hours worth of travel time. It would be impractical and inefficient to say the least. China is a huge country, third behind only Canada and Russia in landmass, but first in total population, and in spite of possessing a sizeable amount of uninhabitable land, we can be assured that by focusing on such major cities as Beijing, Shanghai and Xi'an, the overall effects of the country's expanding markets and capitalistic intent will resonate outward from there and reach all of its 23 provinces in due course.
Chinese real estate has made headlines again and again the last several months. From one city to the next there is evidence of new building, from modern day public transport hubs to hundreds of new high rises. While Beijing and Shanghai, as China's two largest cities, lead the way, there has been and will be a spillover effect as many additional cities expand and experience the effects of a population crunch from millions or rural Chinese seeking to relocate to improve their living conditions. And as that happens, we'll be there to cover it. Not familiar yet with cities such as Guangzhou, Xiamen, Chengdu, or Wuxi? Odds are you will be soon enough.
While the country's capital, Beijing, continues to undergo its own profound transformation to prepare for new residents, it has a vested interest on a global scale as it readies for the 2008 Olympic Games, among the most proud moments in the country's storied history. Beijing's leadership has committed to making the Olympic event a "Green Games" and as environmentally friendly as possible. While some 700 miles to the south is Shanghai, China's version of Paris...or London or New York, with some 4,000 skyscrapers already erected and thousands more on the horizon...literally. And then there is the World Expo hosted by Shanghai in 2010 not to mention a couple of internationally renowned theme parks on the way. China has more than 170 cities with a population in excess of one million, so suffice it to say, the cities are simply trying to stay ahead of the race.
All this discussion about China's transformation and future changes should in no way discount all that China, the country, has to offer and its supreme ranking as one of the world's greatest natural and architectural achievements. For example, did you know that the biggest ancient building complex in the world is situated in Beijing? Or that the largest public square in the world is Beijing's Tiananmen Square? What about the longest man-made architecture in the world...The Great Wall; or the earliest and longest man-made canal...the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The oldest tree, the greatest canyon and the highest plateau in the world are all found in China.
China is indeed a country of natural splendor, from the majestic Himalayan Mountains to the mighty Yangtze River, the land is as broad and diverse as the culture that defines it. And there is no better place to experience the country's magnificent traditions and the exciting evolution taking place than right there in the center of it all. The first step is essential. Book your flight, make like a tourist and see for yourself.

Andorra Skiing Set To Fly With New Airport
by Paul la Vella
A boost in the number of people flying into a new airport close to an established tourist destination will normally mean a jump in tourism - but when the established airport is nearly three hours away and the new one fifteen minutes it's almost bound to see a higher than normal increase in tourism.
And that's exactly what is happening to Andorra, the tiny tax haven set in the European Pyrenees, and home to some of the best ski runs in Europe.
Up to now a drawback that Andorra has had is the distance from a major airport, two and a half hours drive to Barcelona in Spain or Toulouse in France, with some ski holidays starting with a night in one of the Barcelona hotels before setting off for Andorra.
But that is set to change with agreement for an aiport to be built just fifteen minutes drive from the Spanish / Andorra border.
As well as the extra ski tourists the new airport will impact Andorra as a tax haven. Andorra and the more famous Monaco are Europe's leading tax havens, with residents enjoying the benefit of no income tax. Property prices in Andorra are less than a third of the price of Monaco's.
Commenting on the new airport, one Andorra estate agent who specialises in Andorra property for sale thinks that the prices of Andorra properties will rise.
'At the moment Monaco has the advantage of being ten minutes away from an international airport by helicopter, while Andorra is over two hours. With that advantage gone we anticipate more people considering a tax haven will consider Andorra, with a resulting appreciation in real estate prices.'
Property in Andorra has risen an average of ten per cent a year in recent years, with three streams of buyers - the local market, buyers for ski holiday homes who are often on a Crystal Ski holiday and like Andorra enough to buy a holiday home, plus those looking for a tax haven.
The airport is to be located in Seu d'Urgell, and the first flights are anticipated to be in 2010 or 2011, with a runway of 4,500 feet - not long enough for some medium range aircraft, and it is likely that most commercial airlines using the airport will be 60 to 80 seaters, plus private jets much favoured by the wealthy who might now consider Andorra as a viable tax haven.
As well as being welcomed by the property business in Andorra, a new airport has been greeted enthusiastically by the skiing industry.
Ski Andorra companies have upgraded facilities in recent years, and Andorra often competes as a top ski destination in Europe, with well known ski companies like Crystal Ski operating holidays for the British market.
In the last decade the number of tourists for the Andorra ski holiday season has topped ten million visitors a year, and the ski industry is an important part of the country's economy, with the government investing in new infrastructure to help tempt visitors back for skiing for repeat visits.
However last year was the worst season for decades as the snow, which normally falls from end October, didn't arrive until mid March, and the first drop in the number of ski holidays in Andorra being sold by British and other European travel agents dropped from the previous ski season for some years.
The new airport cutting travelling time from the UK, one of the Andorra ski holiday's main markets, could boost the occupancy levels of hotels in Andorra significantly.
'When people are considering a ski holiday in Andorra', comment one travel guide, 'At the moment to reach Soldeu, one of Andorra top ski villages, it's two and a half hours from Barcelona to the capital la Vella, and then another twenty minutes on top of that - nearly a three hour trip after a flight. Cutting down resort arrival time from three to one hour will be enough to influence some people's decision on where to visit.'
Recent investment by the government has reached several million Euros designed to keep the country in line with other European winter destinations, and intended to make Andorra a natural choice for the ski and snowboard fraternity, the addition of an airport close to her border could help ensure that.
2011 can't come soon enough for Andorra and the ski resort of Soldeu and Pas de la Casa.

Why Buy Real Estate in Egypt?
by Rhiannon Williamson
Egypt may seem like an exceptionally unusual choice as a location in which to invest in real estate - sure, it's a great vacation location with its 7,000 years of history, its near perfect year round climate, stunning beaches and beautiful diving...but what does it have to offer someone wanting to invest in real estate as a commodity?
The answer is - Egypt is actually fast moving from being an emerging real estate market place to a well established one because the levels of foreign direct investment into the real estate sector have increased based on some excellent fundamentals.
For example, Egypt is now considered to be a politically stable country and one that is absolutely pro-western, meaning that an investor can be confident in the political stability, will and vision of the nation. Next up, the economy in Egypt is going from strength to strength. According to The Economist magazine GDP grew by 5% in 2005, almost 7% in 2006 and is on target for over 7% growth in 2007.
A strong economy gives confidence to investors as well - but it also means local people have more buying power which creates the perfect environment for house prices to rise in value and an investor's real estate assets to appreciate.
Aside from these excellent foundations on which an investor can build confidence there are some travel and tourism angles you might like to consider when thinking about whether Egypt is worth a closer look as a place to invest your hard earned dollars into immovable property.
First up there's excellent statistical news and data from the World Travel and Tourism Council, they say Egypt is on track for enjoying 21.4 billion US dollars worth of economic activity from the tourism market in 2007 and that the nation's travel and tourism growth rate is expected to hit almost 8% this year before averaging around 5 and a half % per annum until 2017.
Clearly there will be massive rental demand for accommodation that a property investor who buys well located real estate can benefit from. Boosting this demand is Egypt's exceptional climate and the fact the nation is now cheaply and swiftly accessible from Europe and the UK thanks to cheap flight operators.
Finally, if you want more reasons why to buy real estate in Egypt think about the fact there are no capital gains or death/inheritance taxes in Egypt and the government has now made it easy and safe for foreign buyers to own a home or multiple real estate assets in Egypt and surely you have enough evidence to support taking a closer look at the Egyptian property market.

Brazilian Real Estate The Talk of The Town
by Nicholas Marr
Overseas property investors have seen the potential of Brazilian real estate and savvy investors are in search of new areas in Brazil ripe for investment. One such area is Touros Brazil.
Brazil Property is the talk of the town with leading financiers ranking Brazil amongst the top 5 world economies by the year 2050. As one world largest countries, with a current population of over 180 million, Brazil s economic potential is enormous. The optimism is based on current availability of cheap labour and materials, coupled with undervalued real estate.
The village of Touros in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Norto is seeing some new development that will make it a prime location for international real estate investors. Located about 70 kilometers north of the city of Natal, this town is quickly becoming a destination for travelers and home buyers looking for pristine beachfront property in Brazil.
Touros is distinctive with clean and tidy the streets and a well kept town. Travelers call Touros 'the real Brazil' The town benefits from a Diving Centre, Aqua Park and Quad-Biking centres several Golf Courses currently under construction.The road from Natal to Touros is a straight road called the BR101, which runs from Touros down to Rio.
The weather in this part of the country is warm and dry. Rio Grande do Norto is located in the Southern Hemisphere, so the nicest months to be here are during the north's winter, which makes it an excellent choice for a holiday or second home. Even during the winter months of July and August, temperatures still average around 24ºC, which makes it plenty warm enough to enjoy.
Getting to this part of Brazil is fairly easy, and about to become even easier when a new airport opens. The current airport for Natal, August Severo International Airport, serves both domestic and international flights. There are direct flights here from several European cities, and connecting flights daily from major Brazilian cities. From the airport it is just about an hour's drive north to Touros.
The World Tourism Organisation (WTO) reports that Brazil received 5.4 million tourists in 2005, which was nearly a third of all the tourists visiting South America as a whole during that year. This generated US$3.9 billion in foreign currency exchange from tourists. By 2006, tourist figures in Brazil had reached an impressive 6.3 million. The WTO predict strong performance for travel and tourism demand in Brazil for 2007, growing at a rate of 7.2%.
