Hilton Head Properties announced today it has named C.D. Peavy as Director of AcquisitionsAgain! But CD will only be half of who he use to be in the Company.
I am excited to have CD join HHPs team again to head up our Acquisitions Department. CD joined the company in 2006 when the company had already experienced considerable expansion and so had CD laughed President / CEO Chase D. Fonteno, CD had grown to over 400 lbs and was experiencing some medical issues including diabetes when he left the company in mid-2008. He left for both personal reasons and our market was shrinking as the real estate investment market cooled. HHP has gone through massive sizing down and overhaul and mid-2010 we began growing again. CD contacted me about possibly coming on board again, so I agreed to meet him for lunch and I was shocked. I met a man I did not even initially recognize. CD was an energetic, younger looking man ready to take on the world again weighing less than I did when I was in high school! And his diabetes was entirely gone.
Chase Fonteno further remarked How could I turn him down? He knew the company, did fantastic deals for us for several years and now it is very cheap to take him to lunch!
I am excited to be with HHP and the Chase Fonteno team again stated C.D. Peavy, I feel like I have a new lease on life and look forward to assisting HHP get ready for its next growth and expansion period.
Hilton Head Properties experienced dramatic growth from 2004 through 2007. The President/CEO, Chase Fonteno took back control of the single family investment operation in late 2007 due to considerable internal and operational issues. In late 2007 through mid-2010 the company began to down size its operations considerably due in part to the economy and over-expansion. The reductions included reducing staff by over 80%, closing its Ft Worth, San Antonio and Houston offices and closing operations in Detroit and New Orleans. Additionally the company moved from its approx. 22,000sqft offices at 1401 Elm St. in Dallas, TX, to its new offices the penthouse of the Hartford Building at 400 N. St. Paul Street (14th floor), encompassing approx. 10,000sqft. The company is now beginning to acquire single and multi-family real estate investments again on a slower acquisition pace and outsourcing several of the internal operations, including mortgage management and property management.
C.D. Peavy has been a successful real estate investor for over 30 years. Prior to working for HHP in 2006-2008 and in addition to his active real estate investments.

Peter Schiff of Euro Pacific Capital – Top Three Investment Themes for 2011
New York, NY (PRWEB) December 19, 2010
Peter Schiff has made a number of accurate economic prediction over the last half decade from the real estate crash in December 2006 to the bullish rise of precious metals. For 2011 he offers three key investment themes 1) US dollar demise, 2) Buy emerging markets and foreign currencies 3) Buy precious metals and commodities. Below we offer a synopsis of Shiff’s investment ideas for 2011. Peter Schiff did not offer specific investment vehicles to capitalize on his 2011 themes however Market Equities Research Group offers below some possible ways for exposure to gold including a review of Metnaor Resources Inc. a new gold producer in the making utilizing their 100% owned Bachelor Lake Gold Mill with two projects of significance located in stable, mining friendly Quebec that together are expected to take the company to mid-tier producer status (between 150,000 oz – 200,000 oz Gold per annum) within 2.5 years.
A full review of Metanor is available at http://www.miningmarketwatch.net/mto.htm online.
Peter Schiff’s Three Investment Themes for 2011:
1) US dollar demise: Schiff does not see much safety in the US dollar. Recently we saw the long end of rates rising because the bond vigilantes are coming out of a coma as they realize the Fed is out of ammunition here. All the Fed can do is try to boost the economy artificially with cheap money; they brought interest rates down to zero, they couldn’t do anything else so they tried quantitative easing to try to get the long rates to go down but instead they shot up (see 30 Year T-Bond rates) — it was a complete failure and now much higher interest rates are in order (The Fed would argue the rates are up because the outlook for the economy is more favorable). In response all the US will do is keep borrowing and printing more money which is not good for the economy and not good for the dollar. Schiff thinks the bear market in bonds is finally here with legs to it and that foreigners will not want to keep dollars as the Fed prints cash. Schiff says it is not just a dollar collapse, it is a bond collapse too; “avoid any kind of long term bonds, avoid treasuries, and avoid municipal bonds.”
2) Buy emerging markets and foreign currencies: Stay invested in companies that are exposed to the growth that is occurring outside the USA; you want to look at the new emerging consumers, the people that have been saving their money and producing — those are the consumers of the future. You have to stay with businesses that are going to benefit from this change in global wealth as the world moves away from a US centric model towards other nations. Schiff is focusing on Asia where people work hard, are producing and have savings. You want to invest around the world where there is legitimate economic growth based on savings, under consumption, and capital investment so you get a lot of value and you stay out of the US dollar – because when you are investing abroad not only do you get the growth of those stocks you get protection; foreign stocks with foreign earnings offers you protection from US dollars demise. Schiff is also focusing on countries that have a lot of natural resources that they are able to export to take advantage of the strength in other markets.
3) Buy precious metals and commodities: The Fed will print a lot of money to slow the rise of interest rates and that will be terrible for the dollar so you will want to own the precious metals – stay with gold, stay with silver.
Simple ways to gain exposure to gold are to buy a senior producer focused ETF such as Market Vectors-Gold Miners (GDX), or a junior focused ETF such as Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ). However the problem with these ETFs is that they funnel attention to a select few companies whereas there is a large universe of fast growing gold stocks that offer exceptional risk-reward scenarios. One such company that appears poised for upside share price appreciation in 2011 is Metanor Resources Inc. which has two projects of significance located in stable, mining friendly Quebec that together are expected to take MTO.V to mid-tier producer status (between 150,000 oz – 200,000 oz Gold per annum) within 2.5 years. Metanor is a new gold producer in the making utilizing their 100% owned Bachelor Lake Gold Mill in the prolific Abitibi Mining District of Quebec with large resource growth prospects on several fronts. The Barry property alone justifies a market cap for MTO.V several times the current as Metanor has found the gold system and is now tracking it — the independent international professional geological firm SGS Geostat has now identified Metanor’s Barry deposit as comparable in potential to rival other major deposits in the area such as Osisko’s Malartic gold deposit (currently at 8.87 million ounces in the proven and probable gold reserve category) or Detour Lake’s Detour deposit (currently at an open pit mineral reserve of 11.4 million ounces of gold).
Metanor Resources’ 100% owned gold milling facility is readily capable of producing a projected ~60K oz gold per annum once the high grade underground ore at Bachelor Lake is accessed, has infrastructure replacement value of ~$ 150M, and sits geographically as the only mill located within 200 km in a gold rich district that possesses additional resources exceeding 1.5M oz. Metanor has amassed properties within this area, near their Bachelor Lake Gold Mine & Mill and the Barry open pit, and will play a central role mining the resources in this region for decades. With only 144,410,739 shares outstanding and currently trading under CDN$ 0.60/share, the current valuation appears to present exceptional opportunity.

Are you Prepared for Inflation? Now is the Time to Take Action
(PRWEB) January 3, 2011
Camino Land Corporation recently released this report on inflation and how buying land compares to other types of investments. According to a recent Gallup poll taken earlier in 2010, more than half of Americans (55%) are very concerned about inflation and another 29% are somewhat concerned. And for good reason. The drastic steps taken by the federal government to boost the nations sagging economy also concern many economic experts and financial analysts. Before the year 2010 even began, The National Inflation Association considered the possibility of inflation to be a major economic threat and was especially concerned about the rising cost of fuel and food.
While no one can predict the future with certainty, we do know a few simple facts:
1. We know that the federal government has been rapidly creating money along with enormous budget deficits.
2. We know that both of these measures are classic indicators of coming inflation.
3. We also know that inflation is temporary low because banks are still not lending money and the economy remains weak.
The writing is on the wall. As the nation recovers, banks will start loaning out their hoards of reserves. When the available money outpaces the available goods, inflation is inevitable. Prices rise and the purchasing value of the dollar falls. We just dont know when inflation will hit and how quickly it will climb. We only know that it is coming. In fact, you may have noticed a difference in your grocery bills over the past several months.
Higher food prices are here, and dont expect a break soon was the headline of an article published by USA Today on November 30, 2010. Authors Erika D. Smith and Dana Hunsinger reported the U.S. Department of Agriculture as predicting that food prices will increase by 2% to 3% next year. However, that is an overall increase. Certain categories of food are already way up, including pork (13% up from a year ago), butter at 25%, and milk at 6%. The national and world demand for grains is on the rise so prices are up. Farmers use grains as food for livestock. With the cost of fuel on the rise, so is the cost of delivering products.
What can the average consumer do to prepare for inflation?
Dont bother listening to so-called financial advisors who say to stock up on canned and dry food while the prices are still low. Smart people will be doing more than saving a few dollars on groceries to prepare for future inflation. Smart people will be taking full advantage of a chance to leverage inflation in their own favor. They will be looking for quality, affordable investments and watching those values rise with inflation.
One of the safest ways to gain and not lose during an inflationary period is to buy quality land at todays discounted prices. Ricardo Pomar, President of Camino Real Land Corporation, states that he has never seen a better time to purchase the right cheap land: I have been in the land business since 1977 and I know firsthand how rapidly the market of affordable, quality real estate is dwindlingparticularly in rapid-growth states like Arizona where only 17% of the land is even available for private purchase.
Pomar goes on to explain that land has been and will always be a solid, safe investment because the supply is limited. No one is making any more land, he says. The price of land rises as the population grows, as urban areas sprawl, and as available land vanishes. Now add inflation to that equation! The value of land rises even more quickly. With todays depressed prices and tomorrows inflation, new buyers are looking at a once-in-a-lifetime golden opportunity.
He went on to explain that Camino Real is dedicated to offering only the finest pre-developed lots in the path of growth, surrounded by natural beauty, amenities, and world-class recreation: We have always been committed to having the right place and this is definitely the right time!

The 5 Most Dangerous Trends Facing Investors in 2011
Port St. Lucie, FL (PRWEB) January 4, 2011
T & K Futures and Options, Inc. believes that investors may have to face many dangerous investment scenarios in 2011. Inflation and maybe even hyperinflation may be a problem soon. The weakening U.S. dollar may also affect dollar-denominated investments. The European Union is still in the midst of having members potentially becoming insolvent and the U.S. cannot seem to solve its unemployment and deficit problems.
The Federal Reserve Bank says it will continue to implement its quantitative easing regimen. The continuous printing of U.S. dollars coupled with higher commodity prices will most likely lead to inflation or potentially hyperinflation by the end of 2011. This can become a self-fulfilling prophecy because each dollar is worth less and less and is chasing around a finite amount of available commodities which in turn pushes those prices even higher.
The Federal Reserve Bank has promised to keep interest rates low as long as possible to help stimulate the economy by making it so cheap to borrow money. The abundance of money being printed coupled with the low interest rate environment pushes international investors to currencies paying higher interest rates such as the Australian, New Zealand and Canadian dollars. This in turn pushes investors to sell U.S. dollars weakening the currency even more.
The P.I.I.G.S., which are Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain, are still struggling to stay solvent and may eventually tear the European Union apart. Talk that the strength of the region, Germany may become tired of bailing out the weaker countries and revert back to the Deutsche Mark may spell the demise of the Euro Currency.
The two major obstacles facing the U.S. economy are the huge deficit and the 10% unemployment rate. Neither of these problems seems to have an immediate solution. Companies are not hiring because of the uncertainties of future health care and tax liabilities. This trend may continue through 2011 and beyond.
During the crash of 2008, the real estate and the stock markets lost as much as 50% of their values over the following 12 months. Only two asset classes made money in 2008 and they were 30 year treasury bonds and managed futures. Managed futures are non-correlated to stocks, bonds and real estate and can lower a portfolio’s risk while at the same time increasing returns but most investors are unaware of this potentially portfolio saving asset class. Visit http://www.tkfutures.com/managed-futures-trading.htm to learn more.
The author of this article is a 17 year veteran of the futures and options markets and the president of T & K Futures and Options, Inc. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Futures, options and foreign exchange products carry significant risk of loss.

4OVER4.COM Keeps Jobs in New York City and Expands Green Printing Operations into New 40,000 Square Foot Facility Despite Incentives to Move Out of State

New York, NY (Vocus/PRWEB) January 26, 2011
Online Printing company 4OVER4.com has reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining production facilities in New York State with the recent acquisition of and expansion into a 40,000 square foot production facility in New York City. The management of 4OVER4.COM remains firm in their decision to keep the companys high quality green printing services in the State of New York along with the jobs of its many staff members, keeping vitally important employment opportunities from moving out of state. The company which opened its online printing doors in 1999, has since established a reputation as a high quality provider of green printing services in the state, and has no plans of relocating despite compelling incentives from other municipalities.
4OVER4.COM started in New York, and has enjoyed many successes here. We have fantastic relationships with our clients and our staff. We want to be in New York, its our home town, and of course we have many people working here whose jobs are obviously important to them and to their families, states Taso Pangiotopoulos, a principal of 4OVER4.COM.
The printing services industry has become very competitive and the cost of operating a printing firm is significantly impacted by geographic location, as with most manufacturing operations. The cost of space is a very significant factor, and with real estate purchase and rental rates in New York City at multiples of what it costs in other parts of the country, a compelling argument can be made as to why it makes sense to relocate. In addition, if you add to that the incentives from other municipalities, the case for relocation mounts. Still 4OVER4s commitment to operating in New York City has so far outweighed all of these compelling factors. We are happy to keep our green printing services and jobs here in New York. There were some programs that we managed to participate in that offered some help to us a manufacturing firm, which we are grateful for, as anything at all is helpful. Of course they were small in comparison to what was available through other municipalities if we were to relocate to another part of the country. We decided to stay in any case. explains Mr. Panagiotopoulos.
The New York based online printing company specializes in printing business cards, postcards, rack cards, bookmarks, labels and stickers, vinyl and canvas banners, canvas prints, brochures, posters, greeting cards, booklets, letterheads, business cards, envelopes, and other products using environmentally-friendly green printing processes and techniques.
On why the company chooses to remain in New York, Mr. Panagiotopoulos adds: 4OVER4.COM was one of the first online printing companies in the United States, having founded the company and launching operations in New York City in 1999. We have brought jobs to many local people and quality green printing services to our many satisfied clients. We have formed excellent working relationships and built trust with our local employees and customers alike. We are located in New York, but continue to deliver quality printed products all over the country. Being an online printing company, we have facilitated our ordering process to make it more convenient for our customers, allowing us to reach them wherever they may be.”
Local observers believe that the company is setting the standard for cheap printing services that maintain high quality levels. The company offers quality prints at what many agree are exceptionally low prices, while also providing fast production turnaround times including same day service and leading industry minimum quantities attributes some believe has led to their success.
The company also communicated plans for a new Digital Media Services division to be added shortly to their offering, providing services such as graphic design for print and web, web development, and Internet Marketing services as a complimentary offering to their printing services. Plans are also in the works for an entirely new website dedicated to the growing personalized printing market and will be offering photo prints, personalized photo gifts, and photo books in addition to other personalized print items.
4OVER4.COM is a holder of the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) Chain of Custody Certification and abides by strict environmentally-friendly policies including the use of green materials and processes to minimize the production of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which are harmful to the environment and human health, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the use of vegetable-oil based, water-soluble washes for cleaning presses, which are free from VOC-producing petroleum solvents and can reduce VOCs by up to 90%, the use of color management practices and ink-key preset automation which reduces press make-ready times up to 70%, thus reducing paper waste, ink usage and VOCs.
The company also has a 100% recycling policy on all wood, metal and paper waste described by Panagiotopoulos as saving thousands of trees each year, and millions of kilowatts of electricity and gallons of water a big plus for conservation.
4OVER4.COM does its printing on Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified papers, and purchases goods only from suppliers who have demonstrated their commitment to environmentally friendly business practices a role model for other printing businesses. The company has also been noted for spearheading campaigns and programs aimed at salvaging the environment among which includes successes like the 100,000 Trees for Humanity project (see: TREES.4OVER4.COM), which aims to utilize social networking to create awareness about the very serious implications of deforestation. The initiative aims to garner support and encourage participation from customers, with one tree being planted by 4OVER4 for each link back to 4OVER4.COM showing support for the initiative.
With all that 4OVER4 has going on it appears that the company is showing no signs of slowing down, and with their recent acquisition of and expansion into a 45,000 square foot production facility in New York City, it is clear that they remain passionate about keeping jobs and quality green printing services in New York.

Orbit Data Systems, Inc. Places its Rare Two-Letter Domain, OS.com, on the Market
Boston, MA (PRWEB) February 16, 2011
Today, long-time Internet entrepreneur and owner of the prestigious OS.com domain, Craig Shrimpton, CEO of Orbit Data Systems, Inc., announced that he will put his high-profile online moniker on the market. Domains containing only two letters, especially dot-com domains, are the most desired and are highly valued for their branding potential. For companies that want to join the likes of General Electric, Hewlett-Packard, and the LG Group, only a prestigious two-letter dot-com domain name will do.
“I’ve owned the OS.com domain for 15 years,” said Shrimpton. “The name has tremendous value and several possibilities for commercialization, and I’ve decided the best way to make use of it is to let it go to a high-profile buyer. Any IT company involved in operating systems would be a natural candidate, including Microsoft, Apple, and Google. Online retailerssuch as Overstock.com, for examplewould also be able to make good use of such a domain.”
Registering a domain is easy, and usually cheap. For ten or fifteen dollars, you can register a name for your URL, but the problem is that with nearly 100 million domains already in existence, most individuals and companies are hard-pressed to come up with something that hasn’t already been taken. As a result, a vibrant aftermarket in registered domain names has sprung up, with some popular and easy-to-remember domains selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The price of a two-letter dot-com domain is, of course, subjective. While the actual cash value is just the price of registration, the marketing value could be enormous. “It’s impossible to set a price for something like OS.com,” said Shrimpton. “The value is whatever a buyer will pay, and for each buyer, the perceived value will be a very different dollar amount. It could go for anywhere from $ 100,000, to ten million. Who could have imagined that a domain such as FB.com could possibly sell for $ 8.5 million? The answer is obvious when you realize the buyer was Facebook.
The value and price of online real estate continues to go up. For a company with an online presence, the domain name is everything. According to a survey from domain marketplace provider Sedo, 73 percent of respondents indicated that owning the right domain name is a key factor in a marketing campaign’s success. Furthermore, a UK study conducted by MemorableDomains showed that generic URLs that describe a specific type of product or service (such as OS.com) deliver more click-throughs than non-generic domains.
“With domain names taking such prominent roles in marketing success, the value of two-letter dot-com domains are destined to increase in value for the right buyer,” said Shrimpton. The OS.com brand could well turn out to be the best marketing investment in the domain aftermarket today.
Bids for OS.com are being accepted on Flippa.

San Francisco Area Tax Attorney Releases “U.S. Estate Tax Planning for Non U.S. Residents and Non U.S. Citizens” Guide

Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) February 21, 2011
Silicon Valley estate planning and probate lawyer Janet Brewer has released a new guide, “U.S. Gift Tax and Estate Tax Planning for Non-Residents and Non-Citizens”, highlighting key issues to consider when aspects of an estate cross international borders. The free guide is available for download at calprobate.com/international
Smart planning is essential because federal estate and gift tax laws are tough on non-citizens, even if the non-citizen has a green card, said Brewer, who frequently prepares estate plans for foreign nationals who own property or live in the U.S. In addition, many clients have assets both in the United States outside of the U.S. and not all countries recognize trusts and other tools that work within the United States.
“The tax effects of poor estate planning can be devastating,” cautions Brewer. “And, as with all estate plans, there is no opportunity for a ‘do-over.’ Heirs and loved ones will have to live with the results of what is taken care of — or not taken care of — now.”
While certified public accountants (CPAs), financial planners and other professionals can be helpful in the day-to-day management of financial affairs, it takes the special expertise of an estate planning attorney to make sure the transition of assets to heirs will go smoothly. International estate planning experience is all the more important when a non-citizen is involved.
The guide outlines key elements in an international estate plan, including:
What is considered home for the purpose of estate planning?
How the tax law treats non-citizens and non-residents differently from citizens
Treatment of minor children, including issues surrounding the choice and citizenship of a guardian
One useful estate planning tool, the Qualified Domestic Trust
“The tax rules for a noncitizen and nonresident are even more complex if he or she dies owning ‘U.S. situs’ assets,” adds Brewer. “The most common U.S. situs assets are real estate located in the U.S., stock options in a U.S. company, stock ownership in a U.S. company, and a U.S. company’s corporate bonds.
“For example, many people think land in Silicon Valley is very cheap right now. They are flocking to Los Altos, Palo Alto, Atherton, and other San Francisco Bay Area communities to purchase houses and condominiums. These real estate investors may be quite right some of the real estate in the Bay Area is at its lowest price in years. But if they are not U.S. residents and something were to happen to them, they are only entitled to a $ 60,000 exemption from U.S. gift and estate taxes non-resident aliens (NRAs) pay a much higher rate of gift and estate taxes than U.S. citizens. The good new is, with careful international estate planning, nonresidents and noncitizens can avoid tax traps.”
“When someone works hard to build up an estate, it can be devastating for the family to see it eroded by fees and taxes that could have been avoided,” said Brewer. “With this new guide as a start, families will know what kind of legal help they need, and the right questions to ask.”
The guide is one in a series of estate planning and asset protection guides offered by Brewer. For example, Brewer published a year-end tax law update for Bay Area families in December; before that, she published an alert for Bay Area CPAs about gift tax law changes. In August she published a guide telling the dos and don’ts when picking a trustee in California estate planning. Those who opt in to Brewer’s mailing list get the earliest notice about new resources when they come available.
About the Law Offices of Janet L. Brewer
Janet Brewer is a Palo Alto probate, trusts, and estate planning attorney with an advanced degree in tax law. She has practiced California estate planning, advanced gift-planning, and California probate law exclusively since 1991, and is Certified as a Specialist in Estate Planning and Probate Law by the California State Bar Board of Legal Specialization.

Additionally, the program offers innovative step-by-step instruction on posting videos to the web and sharing them through social media.

With inexpensive high-definition cameras and built-in editing software standard on personal computers, technology is no longer a hurdle for anyone wanting to create high-quality web video. Without training in filmmaking or videography techniques, however, most real estate video tours feature shaky camera movements, poor shot selection and choppy editing.

Property Investment Will Continue To Strengthen The St. Kitts Economy in 2011

(Vocus/PRWEB) 24 March 2011
The popularity of real estate St. Kitts and interest in the economic citizenship program is resulting in a boom for the Caribbean island by strengthening the local economy.
Although the St Kitts and Nevis economy contracted by about 1.5% in 2010, from a drop in the previous year, due to decreased activity in tourism and construction sector, the countrys economy is expected to recover during the next two years, with a projected GDP growth rate of 0.5% in 2011 and 1.5% in 2012.
The interest in real estate on St. Kitts from foreign investors and the pace of real estate development has increased rapidly in the past four years, and with an increased number of air flights into the islands during the next year, 2011 real estate sales will no doubt help the continued rise.
A Naturally Beautiful Island
There are many reasons why real estate in St. Kitts is so popular for overseas homebuyers. The first is the natural beauty of these tropical islands. Many investors in North America and the UK dream of a holiday home in the sun, where they can relax under sunny skies and listen to the waves crashing on white sand beaches. The particularly cold recent winters in the UK have left even more people longing for an escape to the sunshine. Real estate in St. Kitts gives them a chance to own a little piece of this idyllic climate.
Affordable Home Investment
Another reason for the property boom is that currently prices in St. Kitts are much less expensive than other Caribbean islands. St. Kitts offers the chance to invest in a holiday home for a cheaper price.
The island of St. Kitts attracts many tourists every year, and many investors are taking advantage of this by renting out their holiday home property. They are finding that this is a perfect way to make an income on their real estate investment when not using it themselves.
Citizenship for Sale
Of course, a major draw for many expats looking to move to the Caribbean is the St. Kitts economic citizenship programme. This process allows the foreign investor to acquire St. Kitts citizenship in exchange for a $ 350,000 purchase of a unit in a pre-approved development of real estate in St. Kitts as well as fees of $ 35,000 for the head of the household and $ 15,000 for each dependant family member. The economic citizenship programme also provides the right to live and work in St. Kitts, visa free access to many countries around the world, and several other benefits.
Not only does the economic citizenship programme benefit the foreign investor, it also has a hugely positive impact on St. Kitts. The money invested into real estate and infrastructure will strengthen the local economy. Also, the prospect of attracting wealthy foreign investors who will likely set up businesses on the island because of the relatively relaxed tax laws will create jobs and opportunities for the locals.
Easy Access
Another factor in the increased popularity of St. Kitts as a holiday home destination is the fact that it is easier than ever to travel there thanks to an increase in flights. British Airways has just launched their new Caribbean campaign this week, with increased frequency of flights to St. Kitts and several other destinations such as Barbados, Grenada, and Bermuda. The more flights there are to St. Kitts, the more convenient it is for UK citizens to own a second home there.
The local housing market in St. Kitts is predicted to stay healthy and continue its growth throughout 2011, as the economy recovers from the recession and the strong demand for property remains. Property prices are predicted to rise, so experts are encouraging those who want to find a great deal on a property in St. Kitts to act sooner rather than later.
The gorgeous weather, cheap prices, increased convenience due to more flights, and the appeal of the economic citizenship programme, will only serve to make St. Kitts a more enticing holiday home location in the future.

Affordable Bathtub and Tile Recoloring Service Helping Homesellers Update Bathrooms in Tough Economy

Austin, TX (PRWEB) April 20, 2011
Austin bathtub refinishing company, All Surface Renew, provides professional Austin bathtub repair and refinishing services to residents of the Greater Austin area. Now, with the upcoming home improvement season, they will focus on making homeowners and contractors more aware of green Austin bathroom remodeling that allows old bathtubs and tile to be recolored and renewed with a special spray-application quickly. Homeowners, especially those planning on selling, can save considerable money over unnecessary bathroom remodeling and increase their homes’ appeal for the competitive real estate market.
In the past, many homeowners have turned to conventional tear-out and replacement to change dated ceramic tile and bathtubs, but that has been changing steadily. Now, bathtubs and tiles that are green, pink, or even brown can be updated to more contemporary colors such as Porcelain White, Biscuit, or Almond and turn them into selling features.
The recoloring process, also known as refinishing or resurfacing, takes typically 2-5 hours and involves specially preparing the surface, making needed repairs, and then applying a new surface to the fixture with a fine-finish spray system. The process works for fiberglass, enamel, acrylic, porcelain, marble, cast iron, and ceramic.
Common issues that are routinely repaired by refinishing are bathtub rust, surface chips, cracks, and holes.
An alternative bathtub recoloring option that has been available to homeowners for some time has been the boxed do-it-yourself bathtub paint kits from home improvement stores at an approximate cost of $ 40. Unfortunately, the poor durability has not made them a lasting solution.
Operations Manager, Jose Olmedo says “The DIY Kits tend to fail because the strength of the store products are limited, and it’s impossible to include all the necessary materials and equipment needed to do the job right. The result is something that needs to be redone. The good news is that we can repair peeling do-it-yourself bathtubs.”
Homeowners are encouraged to have an assessment done to see if professional refinishing might be a good solution for them.
Will Olmedo, marketing director, says Its tempting to want to save a little money by choosing a company that is offering cheap work compared to other reputable ones, but it can be risky. Simply doing a quick internet search for any company you consider working with should show their track record and if they are established.
Jose Olmedo offers the following 5 tips on what to look for in a legitimate bathtub refinishing company:
1. Good standing and Accreditation by the local BBB (Better Business Bureau)
2. A Money-Back Guarantee on work performed
3. Recorded video testimonials from actual clients
4. A video library of various actual completed projects
5. Availability of a 5-Year transferable warranty in the event of home sale (for owner occupied homes)
All Surface Renew has served homeowners, Realtors, contractors, and home stagers in the Greater Austin area. Their unique process can be used to restore surfaces on Porcelain, fiberglass, cultured marble, laminate and even Formica

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is warning all home buyers to not purchase any Florida home, or condominium without a thorough inspection for toxic Chinese drywall. The group says, “While toxic Chinese drywall may have been used in new homes in Florida from 2000, until late 2008, we are very concerned about home remodeling, and or more importantly storm, or hurricane damaged homes in Florida. Translation-everything is on the table, and every home, or condominium needs to be inspected for toxic Chinese drywall in Florida.” They say, “For home buyers from out of state, you need to ask your real estate agent if they are aware of toxic Chinese drywall.

Chinese Drywall Complaint Center Demands Mortgage Relief For Florida & Gulf States Homeowners Stuck In Chinese Drywall Hell

(PRWEB) May 18, 2011
The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, “The imported toxic Chinese drywall disaster in places like Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Virginia, and Southeast Texas is the worst man made environmental disaster to ever hit the US, and unless someone steps up to the plate pretty soon, its just going to get worse for everyone. Everyone includes the completely innocent homeowners, who would have never knowingly purchased a toxic Chinese drywall home. Everyone also includes completely innocent children of homeowners stuck in these toxic Chinese drywall homes.” The group says, “We think it is insanity for major US banks, or loan servicers to continue to pretend that the toxic Chinese drywall environmental disaster is just going to go away on its own. Unless these homes are properly remediated, the disaster never goes away, it simply festers, and it gets worse.” They say, “We believe the time has come for major US banks, and loan servicing companies to step up to the plate to help these homeowners. Meaningful help for homeowners stuck in a toxic Chinese drywall home in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Virginia, and Southeast Texas would involve a substantial loan modification, along with what is called a 203-K mortgage. The unique feature of a 203-K mortgage program is it allows for a purchase price, and remediation built into the mortgage product.” http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com
The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, “In places like Lee County, Florida, the Assessors Office has some toxic Chinese drywall homes valued at the land cost only. The actual home, or condo is worth zero. We think this should be a huge wake up call to all major US banks, or mortgage loan servicers. Do the pension funds, or investors know their securitized mortgage is worth nearly zero?” They also say, “At the same time we are horrified with the prospects of Florida real estate flippers buying toxic Chinese drywall foreclosures, and then doing a low end remediation-doomed to fail, or even worse, no remediation on the foreclosure, and then spinning the home to a new buyer, typically from out of state, or who has never heard of toxic Chinese drywall before. Is anyone in city, county, state, or the federal government remotely worried about any of this? Are the Fed’s ever going to show up to the toxic Chinese drywall disaster?” http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com
The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is saying, “Toxic Chinese drywall foreclosures can be great investments, if the investors, or home purchaser understands what they are doing, and the critical aspect of a proper home remediation. However, if the investor, or purchaser fails to do it right, the home ultimately becomes another foreclosure. We are doing everything possible to change the Florida toxic Chinese drywall foreclosure flipper quick buck, or go cheap mentality into something sane. But, it really is time for major US banks, and loan servicers to show up, by helping existing homeowners stuck in toxic Chinese drywall hell, and or insuring that toxic Chinese drywall foreclosures go through a rigorous remediation before they are allowed to be mortgaged to a new home purchaser, or investor.” http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

The 2011 Housing Market: RealtyPartner CEO Says The Worst Is Not Over Yet

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 12, 2011
Lately, radio, newspaper, and television commercials have been talking about the great improvements in the housing market since the beginning of the Great Recession. Although there have been improvements in the housing market, the sad fact is that homes for sale have suffered considerably as a whole. In fact, its pretty safe to say that the housing market is probably in the worst shape ever, according to RealtyPartner.
The best way to fully explain why the housing market is quickly becoming known as one of the worst economic plights in the 21st century is to explain both the causes and the effects of the housing market bubble burst. When you look at the whole picture, its easy to see why the housing market is in horrible shape, and that the worst might not be over yet.
Since the prices of houses dropped considerably in many areas across the country, people are stuck paying houses that they can no longer afford. The results of this can be seen in foreclosures. Worse, many couples which used to care about their credit score are now strategically defaulting on their home loans due to the fact that the cost of the house actually outweighs the benefits of an intact credit score. The sheer amount of foreclosed homes makes keeping home prices stable and high nearly impossible.
Banks are now reluctant to lend money to first-time homeowners, which is understandable. However, this causes the rate of bought homes to drop considerably. Moreover, people who are looking into buying houses have become doubly cautious, and are looking to buy either foreclosed homes, or are looking for places with cheap rent. Why risk losing even more money on the real estate market? New housing sales hit a record low in 2011, and are expected to plummet even more.
Real estate investors have began withdrawing their money in many of their investments because many of the places that were built specifically in order to attract wealthy residents are now completely useless. In certain parts of the country, including Florida and Arizona, entire home complexes remain abandoned because the asking prices are too high to move. Half built developments wait for their investors to return and finish funding their construction.
“Although the official inventory of houses for sale appears slightly above average, the ‘shadow inventory’ of distressed homes that are lost to defaults, and are in the process of foreclosure. Those who are over 50% or more underwater on their mortgages have dramatically increased worse than we’ve seen before,” stated Mark Quinones, CEO & Founder of RealtyPartner.
This means that no one truly knows how bad the housing market has gotten, nor do they know what to expect. Anyone who wants to invest will often be intimidated by the sheer turmoil of the housing market. The worry and speculation that surrounds the housing market is only adding fuel to an already extremely chaotic fire.
The worst might still be yet to come, and no one knows when the housing market will improve. How long will it take the housing market to stabilize? That depends on several factors, including the employment rates, active investment in the housing market, and also the number of foreclosures that are sold. Really, only time will tell.

The Final Solution – Fire Them All?? Want to Start a Revolution or End an Evolution? This Revised Book Does Both; Time Has Run Out! The Only Hope: Prop. 86
Gun Barrel City, TX (PRWEB) June 14, 2011
This (Sentryman) is irreverent and droll, clever, bombastic and sometimes off-the-wall funny, yet humility is also a strong force in his arsenal. These quick, sharp vignettes in this summer read are more like perusing a personal journal, candid conversations with himself playing all the parts, including Devils advocate and Grand Inquisitor, with a different take on everything; he takes no prisoners. One can quickly read a chapter and bookmark; pick back up and youre discussing something entirely different with him on a wide variety of issues; he dispenses grandfatherly wisdom, tips, quips and some surprisingly intuitive practical advice at the drop of a past participle.
This newly updated nonfiction book with extra chapters seeks to end U.S. Government Red Tape with a Patriots Proposition 86. It Was Never About The Black Guy, It Was About That Guy! And Washingtons Pyrates and Snakesss. The Final Solution Fire Them All??, by Everi Mann (Sentryman) is now available.
An interesting fact about this volatile underground book with few reviews, perhaps in short supply somewhere, it demands prices in excess of full retail for some used copies, as well as for new by some vendors around the globe. By an undisclosed reviewer.
Sentryman clearly states that he wants this book to start a revolution, A bloodless insurrection, a citizens uprising within a Constitution fewer politicians embrace today, with the same ferocity and passion to act out Finchs plea in Network; we’re just not going to take it anymore! No passion play and deadly serious, this time the people will win with an old secret weapon: Prop 86, to eighty-six the government to take-back our country for all Americans; no matter your political persuasion, its easy, cheap and painless, states Sentryman.
“Im not sure if this mans ideas are too far out there or it has been too long since I read anyone express themselves so plainly. Sentryman personalizes every argument that easily defines the point he is trying to make. It cant all be that easy but this gentle man thinks it could and should be in government if citizens paid attention and got more involved. He laments; will this nation ever again be all for one, or remain 47% gimme-gimme and growing, continually reminding us, who we once were, who we are supposed to be, and what we may become if not careful, Sentryman forewarns.
As for 9% unemployment we all know is above 15%, wink-wink, slim prospects for Real Estate or private business, the 2nd year without a budget as Treasurys 24/7 lithographs shatter the Deadbeats Ceiling helping support foreign $ 4. gas, the Chinese are eating our lunch & we’re eating Kung-pow Take-out. Well, the Emperor has no clothes!”…Sentryman
“And this Administrations single greatest accomplishment for reelection is the death of (1) lone terrorist by once touted bad guys, the Bush sponsored military, just might say more about us complacent Americans than Allahu Akbar only means; Hey Cabby in Germany. Im impressed! Holy Jihad Batman, bye-bye Jerusalem, Sentryman waxes. youtube.com/watch?v=BmGe_lVYxDw&feature=player_embedded
This book is not just about politics though, it offers some history, philosophy, psychology and a little whimsy, in addition to faith and brimstone, hope and yes, charity. With a resource guide for some alarming videos for context, he is sometimes as subtle as a sledgehammer for affect, but then deftly as a surgeons scalpel he fillets his opponents, a perusal of the chapter titles will even denote.
No one should ever again blindly rely upon elected representatives deaf to safeguarding our freedoms, or some savior to save our bacon. Ending the Congressional employees death-grip on their citizen-employers wallets is what this battle plan is all about, Sentryman professes.

RealtyPartner Reports Show Foreign Buyers Take Advantage of the Cheap US Homes for Sale Market in 2011

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 23, 2011
According to RealtyPartner.com Research and Development, buyers from European countries like Spain , France and Italy and buyers all over the world are now taking advantage of the cheap US real estate market by investing heavily, as they believe that the values will go up in another 5 years, according to RealtyPartner.
The US real estate market is doomed; real estate price throughout the country is still on a free fall and there are no signs of the US real estate market recovering in the near future.
“The cheap real estate market surprisingly has now attracted number of foreign buyers, who are considering investing heavy in the US real estate market.” stated Mark Quinones, RealtyPartner’s Chairman and Founder past weekend at his investment seminar in New York City.
The reasons for foreigners to buy US real estate are simple; the prices are dead cheap and they can pick the best real estate they want without any conditions what so ever. Recent statistics released by RealtyPartner states that about $ 16 billion worth US real estate properties are bought by the foreign buyers, with 62% of the homes for sale properties being bought in cash.
Foreigners think that it is easy for them to market and sell the real estate properties bought as US has global reach. Many foreigners who live in the US are dying to buy a house for themselves as they consider it as an important accomplishment in their lives. Although the real estate market is sluggish, one can always sell their real estate (without expecting high price of course), if they are badly in need of cash.
People from Canada and China are the ones who have bought the highest number of US real estate, a statistic says. This buying spree may well lead to another real estate boom or at least will create new opportunities for local realtors who find it very hard to sell real estate properties In and around their area.

According to MerchantCashinAdvance.com, tough times are still ahead for small businesses throughout US. The sluggish economy is showing no signs of recovery. While the real estate market continues tumbling, the weather gods arent showing any mercy lately; as droughts have hit major cotton producing states like Texas and New Mexico, the total agricultural production is going to dip significantly as well.
It seems like the only way out for small businesses is to either shift their business out of the US, or outsource the jobs to cheap labor overseas. Money isnt flowing anywhere and small business owners are stuck.
However, according to MerchantCashinAdvance.com, the shortage of capital among the small businesses has given hopes to the Merchant cash advance industry. Which has shown some rapid growth in the past two years alone (2011 saw a tripling in Merchant Cash Advance companies). Even though Merchant cash advance industry is more than a decade old, the industry has resurrected itself simply because businesses have no where else to turn. Merchant cash advances provide capital with less premium while avoiding the scrutiny from financial regulators with typical business loans.
Here is how Merchant cash advances work: the merchant cash advance provider gives small businesses a lump sum of money as advance, after the small business promises a considerable amount of share in their future credit card processing sales. This is also referred to as credit card factoring. The primary difference between a merchant cash advance and a typical small business loan, is merchant cash advance companies do not solely rely on the applicants credit for approval. MerchantCashinAdvance advocates a 95% approval rate for all merchant cash advance applicants.
Even though a merchant cash advance looks real simple, providers of merchant cash advances take great pain in explaining the small business owners about the difference between a traditional business loan and a merchant cash advance. To understand it simply, business loans are bound by the law (in other words secured) and merchant cash advances are unsecure since they require no collateral.
It is just like selling the future income; the merchant cash advance provider takes a small percentage of the from the credit card processing until the agreed sum is collected from the small business owner. Business loans normally would have to paid back monthly with interest, unlike merchant cash advances, which don’t have interest.
For merchant cash advance companies, a bright future seems to be ahead of them as experts say that only 10% of the merchant cash advance industry resources have been tapped by the providers so far. With the providers trying to standardize the rules in the merchant cash advance industry and with small businesses running profitable than the larger ones, the future of the merchant cash advance industry isn’t looking to shabby.

Property Buyer Spins Off Home Loan Consultancy to http://www.SingaporeHomeLoan.net
Singapore (PRWEB) July 28, 2011
Property Buyer spins off home loans consultancy to http://www.SingaporeHomeLoan.net
Property Buyer, a Singapore based property portal is soft launching its revamped site with additional search engine application dedicated to finding real estate properties within Singapore. The company also is transferring its home loan functions to its sister website SingaporeHomeLoan dot net while maintaining a mortgage section at http://www.propertyBuyer.com.sg/mortgage for continuity.
The same team of home loan consultants will continue to service loan inquiries from both websites (the change over will be transparent for users) and will continue to be branded, “Property Buyer Mortgage Consultants,” with expertise on property buying loan consulting activities for high net worth individuals as well as the generic property loan refinancing activities.
This split will allow the two websites to be more focused in developing their own growth path while maintaining a symbiotic inter-dependence on each other as people who need home loans may need to look at properties and vice-versa.
Focus of Singapore Home Loan website
The new focus of SingaporeHomeLoan dot net (Property Buyer Mortgage Consultants) will be around providing better tools and data around loan comparisons to facilitate buyers to make an informed financing decision.
After the re-organization, the brand “Property Buyer Mortgage Consultants” will be used by http://www.SingaporeHomeLoan.net to ensure continuity. Property Buyer is a research focused mortgage consultant that does research into property economics as well as issues and regulations affecting property prices.
Focus of Property Buyer website
Property Buyer website continues to be the flagship website for the company and will continue to have a loans consultancy section within it’s website at Property Buyer Mortgage. The split will enable Property Buyer to break free from having to work around a home loans focus and to concentrate on providing tools, developing products as well as functionality that helps buyers to make the property buying process simpler and less risky. With the re-organization, the website will develop more revenue sources for the website around the property and wealth related segment.
The Managing Director of Property Buyer says, “We are pleased with our increased market presence so far. Currently Propertybuyer.com.sg has a three-month global Alexa traffic rank of 1,091,767. The site is relatively popular among users in the city of Singapore (where it is ranked #4,876). (Alexa, 21st July 2011) The split is more psychological in nature, as it frees up creative space to develop tools, products and services that is relevant to each website’s needs. And therefore we can better meet customers and readers expectations. We can develop more business successes only if and when we provide what the market is looking for.”
