Brand New Five-Star Development On The Black Sea Coast From 27,000
Bulgaria Revealed is pleased to announce the launch of their Riviera development at Fort Beach in the idyllic town of Ravda. Riviera Fort is situated amid pine forests in an area that lies just a stones throw from the highly popular Sunny Beach. The complex consists of 156 apartments in 6 apartment blocks, many of which have splendid sea views. They represent a superb opportunity to buy into a beachfront complex just 10 minutes from the historical world heritage centre of Nesebar.
The complex has outstanding facilities that include: Swimming pool and sauna; Fitness centre including tennis courts and a football pitch; 24-hour security (all year round); Bar with restaurant, cafs and shops.

The completion date is May 2006 and prices will start from around 39,000 (27,000) for studio apartments. There are also fantastic payment terms: Only a 750 reservation fee; 10% less reservation fee, due within three weeks; 15% within 15 days of completion of roof; 45% within 30 days of completion of the building; 30% within one year of completion (at 0% interest).

Further News: Chalet Montagne-Bansko The developer has advised us that prices are to be raised by 8% shortly. This means that those clients that reserve and pay their deposit by 14th December will see an 8% gain, with 10 months still to go before completion. It seems that our initial estimate of 20% gains by completion will be right on the button. There are only 14 apartments/studios left from the 47 originally available, so please call us a.s.a.p to avoid the price hike.

Also, Beaujourland Bansko. We are delighted to be sole agents for the launch of this excellent opportunity with a guaranteed rental income of 5% for the first year.

There will be potential for year-round letting with an outdoor swimming pool and barbecue facilities set in landscaped gardens. The prices are very competitive: a 2-bed, 70sqm apartment is just 49,990 price tag at current rates.

And now a really interesting announcement from Jonty Crossick of Ready 2 Rent/Ready 2 Build:
Share In The Profits To Be Made By Investing In A Bulgarian Development Company
Have you ever though how great it would be to be a developer in a property boom market? But the problem is you either don’t have enough time or money to get hold of a development of over 100 units and deliver it end-to-end. Also, you don’t feel like taking the risk in the booming foreign market on your own. Well, here is your chance to group together with other investors with the necessary expertise to share in a boom market as the developer!

Bulgaria Is A Country On The Move
My recent journeys there have confirmed the highly lucrative deals that we UK investors can afford. The capital appreciation outlook is very healthy, as are yields. Recently we launched three off-plan deals in the developed holiday resort of Sunny Beach. The popularity of these offerings has been extraordinary and has encouraged me to go the next step. Ready 2 Rent would like to offer you a share in a Bulgarian development company with the aim to deliver a return of over 100%.

Think about this: In the UK land costs up to 35% of the total sales of a development. You can get better deals, but in general you are looking at 30%-35%. In Bulgaria you are talking about 3%. This is not a situation that is going to last very long. The world is waking up to Bulgaria. It is rumoured that Roman Abramovich has six of his lawyers scouring the country for plots of land, paying owners in cash for the title deeds. So, while land is still cheap and construction affordable, there is great potential to buy land, develop and sell it and make great margins. Taxes on land are due to be levied from next year of up to 30%, so prices are bound to jump.

Ready 2 Rents development arm Ready 2 Build has put the following into place:

Joint venture partners who will take care of the construction and the project management.
Finding network in Bulgaria searching for land.
Appropriate connections in the country to ensure access to quality plots.
Bank finance to leverage the development deal.
Architects.
Lawyers.
Quantity surveyors.
Highly experienced Ready 2 Rent personnel controlling and monitoring the projects.

Rather than trying to develop the project directly, we are joining forces with construction companies and developers with a track record in the local area who will carry out the construction side and manage the project. They will build at cost, and in return receive a profit-share of the project. This reduces our risk, as the costs will be lower and everyone will have the same aims: to make a profit for the venture.

Bulgarias Black Sea coast is short by international comparison and in a few years time it will be totally developed from North to South. The market is reaching a state of momentum whereby its arrival on the international map will be irreversible. With developments in progress, EU money flowing in, estate agents following and tour operators and hotels entering the market, supply will boost demand and demand will give a lift to supply.

Land is set to double in price over the next year, so it makes sense to bank enough land for three years worth of projects. That means we will always enjoy super-low land costs, thus improving your chances of high returns.
This Is Your Chance To Share In One Of Europes Most Exciting Property Markets

Furthermore, you will be given the opportunity to take your profits in cash or in property, or in any combination of the two.

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

The Positive Club

Filipo really enjoyed helping his
father in the flour mill. He led the
donkey up to the millstone, tied it
securely, fixed over its head a stick,
at the end of which he suspended
the proverbial carrot.

After that, he only had to give
the donkey a couple of shoves to start
it moving.

From morning to evening the animal
circled slowly following the carrot,
while Filipo daydreamed, leaning up
against bags of flour. His father
Ernesto carried the sheaves of corn
to the barn and spent time checking
the wheels of the huge mill.

The young boy's donkey was very reliable,
and day after day it plodded fruitlessly
after the carrot that it would never get.

One evening when the exhausted donkey
had finished its last circle and Filipo
was helping his father arrange the bags
of flour, he said thoughtfully:

"Look at this foolish donkey, going
around and around day in and day out in
the heat, without food or drink, trying
to reach a carrot that it has no hope
of getting.

I will never be like that."

Filipo's father dropped his last sack,
put his hands on his hips and eyed his son,

"Do you think we are so different
from the donkey? We work equally hard
from morning until night. Then we return
home, eat some food and go to bed where
we dream that with a little luck,
life will be a little easier tomorrow;
that fortune will smile on us and that
we won't have to work anymore.

But in the morning with our aching backs
and our tired hands, we understand just
how far away the carrot is, and just how
long it will be before we reach it."

..........................................

Is our society any different from the
theme of this short story? We chase success
relentlessly, to fulfil our desires for
wealth and comfort.

The carrot?

The wonderful advertisements, the fabulous
shop windows and the salesmen encouraging
us to consume.

Wouldn't it be worth minimizing our
ambitions and desires so that we could
have the possibility of satisfying them
- and actually GET the carrot?
