Hi,

It’s Peter Parfait with some further selected and filtered property opportunities and useful services for you.

Bulgarian Holiday Homes For As Little As £23,800
Around £95,000 For A Fully-Furnished Tropical Villa In Goa
Florida Homes At A Discount
A Separate Bulgarian Opportunity From Only £20,000
-------
The following from Jonty Crossick, of Ready 2 Rent, with an excellent deal. As you well know, I love Jonty’s deals and really appreciate the care and attention that goes into them, and into his marvellous e-brochures. In Jonty’s own words:

Bulgaria – Holiday Homes From £23,800 - Through Ready 2 Rent
So many people ask me the question “should I go for capital growth or income?” What would happen if you had the opportunity to make both capital gains and income! Well, this is what is available in Bulgaria and, at a time when UK yields have fallen and capital growth is slowing, this is a country you cannot afford to miss.

Imagine you were alive when America’s western territories were being won. But instead of it being about guns, cowboys and the rule of violence, it was about beaches, holidays and great food, as well as the established rule of law and stable systems. Well, this is Bulgaria. It is a young market and we have the chance to get in early when prices are still cheap. Yet the great aspect of Bulgaria is that the rule of law is strong and ownership of property title is orderly. Even though prices are cheap, starting at £23,800, mortgages are available.

Alise and I are investing in Bulgaria. All the tick boxes are checked. It’s an early market with years of strong capital growth ahead of it. Yields are strong and the mortgage market is going to evolve rapidly (we are influencing this directly). Also, it is politically stable and economically growing and stable. And as soon as an EU entry date is confirmed, then property prices will accelerate. We are going to buy as many units as we can. Here’s what we have on offer at the moment:

Bravo Apartments – Sunny Beach: This is a beautifully-designed villa-style settlement made up of studios and 1-2 bedroom apartments, just 3 minutes walk from the main hub of Sunny Beach and the sea. Prices start from £47,760. Yields of 13-14% possible. There is a guaranteed completion date of December 2004.

Barco del Sol – Sunny Beach: This is an elegant apartment building with views of the sea from the top two floors, just 3 minutes on foot to the beach and seconds from the resort’s local markets and restaurants. Prices from £44,200. Capital growth is running as 25% pa. We arrange everything for you - mortgages, letting agents, furnishers, accountants and lawyers provided.

Sun City: situated in the quieter resort of Slanchev Briag, 800m from the beautiful ancient UNESCO-protected town of Nessebar and just a 350m walk from the widest part of Sunny Beach. The three apartment buildings sit in landscaped gardens around two communal swimming pools. Prices from £23,800.
Join us by calling 01273 609 267 and invest in Bravo, Barco Del Sol and Sun City. For further details and our e-brochure, visit our new website at http://www.ready-2-rent.co.uk

Here are two rather attractive opportunities from Mark Sawyer of The Property Association. In Mark’s own words:
Around £95,000 For A Fully Furnished Tropical Villa

It is real a privilege for The Property Association to secure a truly exclusive opportunity, in one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Outstanding location and amazing prices, make this an exciting announcement. Our second step into a new continent.

Sometimes known as "Rome of the East", "Tourist Paradise" and "Pearl of the Orient", the state of Goa is located on the western coast of India in the coastal belt known as Konkan. Since the arrival of the Hippies in the sixties, Goa has been a major destination on the itinerary of international and domestic tourists. It's warm and sunny weather is matched only by the warmth and friendliness of its people. The clean un-polluted air and easygoing attitude of Goans makes it a much sought after tourist destination, and now, a wonderful place to invest in property.

Aguada Anchorage is an 8-acre development in a prime location on the Sinquerim coastline, adjoining the Fort Aguada Beach Resort and only a three-minute stroll to the beach. The community features detached villas offered for sale on a freehold ownership basis. It has been designed with contemporary Goan architectural concepts and styled as a Goan hamlet, seamlessly blending into an expanse of exquisitely terraced landscape, and colourful gardens with tree-lined avenues. All villas come as a fully loaded 'turnkey' package complete with furniture, so there is no requirement to consider further options or upgrades.

These lovely, Goan-styled, 3 bed, 3 bath, detached properties are available for less than £95,000 sterling. Teak, granite, marble and ceramics feature throughout and a full furnishing package is included. Unbelievable! A beautiful unadulterated beach beckons only a few minutes walk away. With a ban on construction within 500 meters of the High Tide Line, this is the closest you can hope to get a home on the beach. Aguada Anchorage will include a dedicated management service, the like of which, is not seen anywhere else in Goa. A professional team will look after your property on a day to day basis.
Please take a look at our detailed e-brochure presentation, which can be found at http://www.ThePropertyAssociation.co.uk
Additionally: Florida - Orlando

Nestled just minutes from Disney World on US27, this resort is a wonderfully appointed, gated enclave of vacation homes, along with a state-of-the-art clubhouse facility. It still shocks me how much you get for your money in Florida. These are mansions to the average Brit, all for the price of the average UK semi. Fantastic value.

I bought a home in Orlando just last year, which completed in March. I'm certainly not a Disney fan, but I can vouch for the pulling power of the area. My property (a lovely signature plot, five bedroom, lakeside home with heated pool etc costing approx £180,000) has risen in value by 33% in less than a year and has increased my equity by over $100,000. You can expect year-round rentals and highly professional property management. Yields are not high, but they are adequate and this is a great place to put your feet up (forget queuing for Thunder Mountain).

I can highly recommend the source of this property, a Florida-based company with whom we are now working very closely. Keep an eye out for more offers in the coming weeks.

The following from Tahir Ali, who is a great contact and colleague, of Bulgaria Revealed. In Tahir’s own words:

" Diamond " Apartments-Central Sunny Beach, Bulgaria

This very high specification Holiday village is situated in a superb location in the central street of Sunny Beach Resort Complex, just 100 metres from the sea and in immediately adjacent to three 4-star hotels “Victoria Palace”, “Marvel” and “Helena Beach”.

The village consists of three independent buildings located alongside the land periphery and comprises:

Luxury one-room and two-room apartments
Café , boutiques, souvenirs shop
Swimming-pool for adults
Swimming-pool for children
Water café – bar
Jacuzzi
Area for chaise-lounges and recreation
Parking-spaces

The development is luxuriously appointed and each apartment has high-quality fittings and upholstered furnishings as standard. Many apartments have pool and sea views. We believe this to be an excellent opportunity to purchase in the most up-market area of Sunny beach, a development to attract the more discerning holiday-maker. 1 bed & 2 bed apartments available from £52k and £78.5k respectively.

Bansko - Ski/Summer Apartments

Bansko ski resort is situated in South-western Bulgaria, at the foothills of one of the most beautiful Bulgarian mountains - Pirin, which is a national preserve, included in the WORLD NATURAL HERITAGE list.

This means that as well as an exceptionally long Ski season (December to mid-April) there is excellent scope for an additional 5-months let from end April ‘til September. Pirin mountain and the national park afford outstanding opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, fishing or idyllic outings to enjoy the sheer beauty of the valleys, rivers and mountains. The summer let is facilitated by having swimming pool, barbecue, gym, sauna and massage facilities on-site. Bansko has millions of euros of government investment currently to bring the ski-ing facilities up to Olympic standard and Bansko is set to be a candidate for the 2014 winter Olympics.

Studios , and 1 beds start from £20,000, £30,000 respectively and all 2-bed apartments are £50,000 or less. With guaranteed rental yield of 5% for the first year and an onsite management company appointed by the developer, this an exceptional opportunity for both rental yield and capital gains.
Assistance with viewing trips available. For further details, visit http://www.bulgariarevealed.com or call Tahir Ali on 07977 273159.

I trust that these updates continue to assist with your property investment success.

The positive Club

Who Am I?

I am your best friend in time of need.

I can do for you what those who love you
most are powerless to do without my aid.

I am the oil that smooths the troubled
waters of life. I straighten out difficulties
and remove obstacles that will yield to
nothing else.

I am a supporter of faith, a spur to
ambition, a tonic to aspiration, an invaluable
aid to people who are struggling to make
their dreams come true.

I give a man a fine sense of independence,
a feeling of security in regard to the future,
which increases his strength and ability and
enables him to work with more vigor and
spontaneity.

I am a stepping-stone to better things; a
hope builder; an enemy of discouragement,
because I take away one of the greatest
causes of worry, anxiety, and fear.

I increase self-respect and self-confidence,
and give a feeling of comfort and assurance
that nothing else can give. I impart a
consciousness of power that makes multitudes,
who otherwise would cringe and crawl,
hold up their heads and carry themselves
with dignity.

I open the door to many opportunities
for self-culture and to social and business
advancement. I have enabled tens of
thousands of young men, who made sacrifices
to get me, to take advantage of splendid
opportunities which those who did not have
me were obliged to let go by.

I increase your importance in the world
and your power to do good. I make people
think well of your ability, increase their
confidence in you; give you standing,
capital, an assured position, influence,
credit, and many of the good things of
life that without me would be unattainable.

I am a shock-absorber for the jolts of
life, a buffer between you and the rough
knocks of the world. The man or woman who
doesn't make an honest, determined effort
to get me is lacking in one of the fundamental
qualities that make for the happiness,
the prosperity and well-being of the
whole race.

Millions of mothers and children have
suffered all sorts of hardships and
humiliations because husbands and fathers
lacked this practice quality, which would
have saved themselves and those dependent
on them so much suffering and misery.

Multitudes have spent their declining
years in homeless wretchedness, or eked
out a miserable existence in humiliating
dependence on the grudging charity of
relatives, while other multitudes have
died in the poorhouse, because they failed
to make friends with me in their youth.

I am one of the most reliable aids in
the battle of life, the struggle for
independence; ever ready to help you in
an emergency sickness in your family,
accident or loss, a crisis in your business
whatever it may be. You can always rely
on me to step into the breach and do my
work quietly, effectively, without bluster.

I AM --- A LITTLE READY CASH
