Protect your Investment — Avoid Bad Property Management Companies:
Your success will depend on the team you hire. The wrong management company with little experience can lead you to negative cash flow quicker than you might expect. We are experiencing an influx of unqualified companies entering the property management industry for the first time. National branded franchise companies like Century 21 and Re Max are not a good fit for your management objectives. It is also recommended that you have an understanding of the types of clients currently under management contract with the firm you’re considering. Some specialize in single family homes, condos and apartment buildings while others specialize in association management, commercial property or retail buildings.

{When it comes to investing in real estate, we’ve all heard how important a good location is when deciding to purchase an investment property~We’ve all heard how important location is in real estate investing~When it comes to investing in real estate, we’ve all been told how important selecting a good location is when buying investment property}.{ How many times have you heard, “It’s all about the location~How many times have we all heard, “It’s all about the location}?

Hayden Flour Mill, meet the future
Image by kevindooley
The 135-year old Hayden Flour Mill is on the right, and has been empty for seven years. Two of the new condos going up in downtown Tempe are pictured on the left, representing the clash between old and new that is going on in Tempe today. The picture was taken from the north side of "A" Mountain, next to the Arizona State University and Tempe Town Lake.
From www.azcentral.com/community/tempe/articles/1020mill20.html :
As Tempe’s bigwigs broke ground on yet another sleek lakeside high-rise Wednesday, across the street one of the city’s most recognizable buildings remains empty. There’s no question the gritty white silos of the Hayden Flour Mill are an area icon. They’re the downtown district’s namesake, a historical landmark, an archeological site. City leaders call the mill the linchpin of development in a blooming urban center because of its location between the Town Lake and Mill Avenue. But the city-owned mill has baggage: It’s saddled with a pending million lawsuit. It’s been vacant for seven years. There are use restrictions, building restrictions and view restrictions. There is a lack of parking, electricity and water. Never mind the asbestos or that it’s on an odd, ladle-shaped piece of land.
That doesn’t deter city leaders who say the right project could make it the pride of the city once again. "The interest is out there, but once folks understand the level of challenge that this property poses, they often start looking elsewhere for something that’s easier to do," Mayor Hugh Hallman said.
Mill was Arizona fixture
Unlike the Hayden Ferry Lakeside project where a 12-story tower is soon going to rise, the mill dates to Tempe’s beginnings. It’s been more than 135 years since, legend says, Charles Hayden, climbed the butte that would later bear his name , surveyed his surroundings and decided the area below him would be a good place to live. "Charles Hayden is the business founder of Tempe," said John Akers, curator of the Tempe Historical Museum. "He opened the first store, brought goods to the farmers; opened the mill and became the largest employer for a very long time." Over the years there were three Hayden Mills. The first was a water-powered, two-story adobe building. It opened for business in 1874, and burned down about 15 years later. A second adobe mill burned in 1917. Again the mill was rebuilt – part of this structure is what still stands at the site east of Hayden Butte, on the north end of Mill Avenue. The grain elevator and seven silos were added in 1951. Three generations of the Hayden family ran the mill, using Tempe-grown wheat to churn out cloth and later paper bags of baking and tortilla flour. Newspaper accounts from the era report Hayden processed almost the entire Arizona wheat crop.
Silent since 1998
After 107 years of Hayden ownership, the mill was sold to the Bay State Milling Company of Massachusetts. But in 1998, the mill fell silent. The decision ended production at the Valley’s longest-running industrial plant. Since then transients and teens who found their way into the building despite fencing left their marks in graffiti and urine. Meanwhile, it changed ownership. The property was sold to MCW Holdings in 2001. MCW wanted to put lofts, shops and offices on the site. But the city says they didn’t start the project within a promised two-year time limit, despite million in incentives. In 2003, Tempe acquired the property after claiming MCW defaulted on its contract, but MCW Holdings is suing the city for more than million in Maricopa County Superior Court because it disagrees.
Variety of proposals
Despite that, city leaders entertain ideas on what to do with the mill at least monthly. The suitors range from neighbors with no real financial backing to serious investment firms with development experience. Yet the many restrictions usually scare developers off. Some businesses have pitched hotels; others suggested apartments, stores and boutiques. Some of the most recent suitors met with Hallman on Monday, a courtesy he says he and other city leaders give to all potentially serious proposals. Constellation Property Group envisions condos in the silos and artsy retail on the ground. The Australian-based company has turned a set of Sydney silos into a modern, chic place to live. They are considering doing the same in Tempe, according to Eugene Marchese, managing director. He is also looking at nine other potential sites in Phoenix and Tempe, he said. For the possible mill project, Constellation wants to team up with the Lab, a California-based group that has built two "anti-malls" – one art- and fashion-based, the other focused on sports and recreation – in Orange County. The Lab could create a similar non-corporate approach to retail in the Mill. "We like the historical integrity of the building and the location," said Shaheen Sadeghi, the creative juice behind the anti-malls. "And from a cultural standpoint, the area has a lot of potential … our approach with specialty art and culture focus would do well there. There are certainly already enough Wal-Marts and Gaps and Banana Republics."
NSW slashes billion – deficit 7M
Image by publik16
The NSW government has slashed more than billion from its planned spending for the next four years, as today’s mini-budget confirms the state will record a deficit of 7 million this financial year.
Treasurer Eric Roozendaal has handed down the mini-budget, insisting the state can withstand a dip into the red for one year, which he said had been caused by a slowing property market and a fall in GST revenue.
He said NSW was forecast to return to the black the following year with a surplus of 8 million, that is expected to grow to 3 million in 2010-11 and reaching 0 million in 2011-12.
The mini-budget process has seen the state razor gang make .3 billion worth of savings over the next four years, while it will rake in .6 billion in revenues.
The ambitious four year capital works program outlined in this year’s budget has been re-prioritised but the outlay remains largely unchanged, with .8 billion worth of infrastructure projects to be built.
That is down 0 million from what was announced in the budget in June.
"NSW will maintain the biggest public infrastructure investment program in Australia – and we are able to do so because the government has tightened its belt," Mr Roozendaal said.

Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton
Image by lisby1
after Daniel Mytens,painting,circa 1618?
Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton (October 6, 1573 – November 10, 1624), one of William Shakespeare’s patrons, was the second son of Henry Wriothesley, 2nd Earl of Southampton, and his wife Mary Browne, Countess of Southampton, daughter of the 1st Viscount Montagu.
He was born on October 6,1573, in Cowdray, Sussex, England.
When his father died, he moved to Midhurst, England, and succeeded to the title in 1581, when he became a royal ward, under the immediate care of Lord Burghley. He entered St John’s College, Cambridge, in 1585, graduating M.A. in 1589:[1] and his name was entered at Gray’s Inn before he left the university. At the age of seventeen he was presented at court, where he was soon counted among the friends of the earl of Essex, and was distinguished by extraordinary marks of the queen’s favor. He became a munificent patron of poets: Nashe dedicated his romance of Jack Willon to him, and Gervase Markham his poem on Sir Richard Grenville’s last fight. His name is also associated with Barnabe Barnes’s Parthenophil and Parthenope, and with the Worlde of Wordes of John Florio, who was for some years in his personal service as teacher of Italian.
It is as a patron of the drama and especially of Shakespeare that he is best known. "My Lord Southampton and Lord Rutland," writes Rowland White to Sir Robert Sydney in 1599, "come not to the court … They pass away the time in London merely in going to plays every day" (Sydney Papers,[2] ed. Collins, ii. 132). Venus and Adonis (1593) was dedicated to Southampton in terms expressing respect, but no special intimacy; but in the dedication of The Rape of Lucrece[3] (1594) the tone is very different. "The love I dedicate to your lordship is without end … What I have done is yours; what I have to do is yours; being part in all I have, devoted yours." Nicholas Rowe, on the authority of Sir William Davenant, stated in his Life of Shakespeare that Southampton on one occasion gave Shakespeare a present of £1000 to complete a purchase. There is no documentary evidence of this, however.
Nathan Drake in his Shakespeare and his Times (1819; vol. ii. pp. 62 seq.) first suggested that Lord Southampton was the person to whom the sonnets of Shakespeare were addressed. He set aside Thomas Thorpe’s dedication to the "onlie begetter of these ensuing sonnets, Mr W.H.," by adopting the very unusual significance given by George Chalmers to the word begetter, which he takes as equivalent to procurer. Mr W. H. was thus to be considered only as the bookseller who obtained the manuscript. Other adherents of the Southampton theory suggest that the initials H. W. (Henry Wriothesley) were simply reversed for the sake of concealment by the publisher. It is possible in any case that too much stress has been laid on Thomas Thorpe’s mystification.
The chief arguments in favor of the Southampton theory are the agreement of the sonnets with the tone of the dedication of Lucrece, the friendly relations known to have existed between Southampton and the poet, and the correspondence, at best slight, between the energetic character of the earl and that of the young man of the sonnets. Mr Arthur Acheson (Shakespeare and the Rival Poet, 1903) brings much evidence in favor of the theory, first propounded by William Minto, that George Chapman, whose style is parodied by Shakespeare in the 21st sonnet and in Love’s Labour’s Lost, was the rival poet of the 78th and following sonnets. Mr Acheson goes on to suppose that Chapman’s erotic poems were written with a view to gaining Southampton’s patronage, and that that nobleman had refused the dedication as the result of Shakespeare’s expostulations. The obscurity surrounding the subject is hardly lightened by the dialogue between H. W. and W. S. in Willobie his Avisa, a poem printed in 1594 as the work of Henry Willobie. If the sonnets were indeed addressed to Southampton, the earlier ones urging marriage upon him must have been written before the beginning (1595) of his intrigue with Elizabeth Vernon, cousin of the Earl of Essex, which ended in 1598 with a hasty marriage that brought down Queen Elizabeth’s anger on both the contracting parties, who spent some time in the Fleet prison in consequence. The Southampton theory of the sonnets cannot be regarded as proved, and must in any case be considered in relation to other interpretations. However, most recently the most compelling case has been made by Hank Whittemore in his magnum opus, "The Monument" (2005) that Southampton is the principal subject of the sonnets and that they are best understood when it is recognized that Elizabeth was his mother and the 17th Earl of Oxford his father (Edward de Vere).
In 1596 and 1597 Southampton was employed in Essex’s expeditions to Cádiz and to the Azores, in the latter of which he distinguished himself by his daring tactics. In 1598 he had a brawl at court with Ambrose Willoughby, and later in the same year he attended the queen’s principal secretary, Sir Robert Cecil, on an embassy to Paris.
In 1599, during the Nine Years War (1595-1603), he went to Ireland with Essex, who made him general of his horse, but the queen insisted that the appointment be cancelled. Southampton remained on in personal attendance upon the earl, rather than as an officer. During his time in the Irish wars, it was reported to Cecil that he saw most of his active service in bed with a captain Piers Edmunds – he would "cole and hug" his captain in his arms, and "play wantonly" with him. However, Southampton was active during the campaign, and prevented a defeat at the hands of the Irish rebels, when his cavalry drove off an attack at Arklow in County Wicklow. He was deeply involved in Essex’s conspiracy against the queen, and in February 1601 was sentenced to death. Cecil obtained the commutation of the penalty to imprisonment for life.
On the accession of James I Southampton resumed his place at court and received numerous honors from the new king. On the eve of the abortive rebellion of Essex he had induced the players at the Globe Theatre to revive Richard II, and on his release from prison in 1603 he resumed his connection with the stage. In 1603 he entertained Queen Anne with a performance of Love’s Labour’s Lost by Burbage and his company, to which Shakespeare belonged, at Southampton House.
He seems to have been a born fighter, and engaged in more than one serious quarrel at court, being imprisoned for a short time in 1603 following a heated argument with Lord Grey of Wilton in front of Queen Anne. Grey, an implacable opponent of the Essex faction, was later implicated in the Main Plot and Bye Plot. Southampton was in more serious disgrace in 1621 for his determined opposition to Buckingham. He was a volunteer on the Protestant side in Germany in 1614, and in 1617 he proposed to fit out an expedition against the Barbary pirates.
Southampton was a leader among the Jacobean aristocrats who turned to modern investment practices — "in industry, in modernizing their estates and in overseas trade and colonization."[4] He financed the first tinplate mill in the country, and founded an ironworks at Titchfield. He developed his properties in London, in Bloomsbury and Holborn; he revamped his country estates, participated in the efforts of the East India Company and the New England Company, and backed Henry Hudson’s search for the Northwest Passage.
A significant artistic patron in the Jacobean as well as the Elizabethan era, Southampton promoted the work of George Chapman, Samuel Daniel, Thomas Heywood, and the composer Alfonso Ferrabosco the younger. Heywood’s popular, expansionist dramas were compatible with Southampton’s maritime and colonial interests.
Henry Wriothesley, whose name is included in the 1605 panel of the New World Tapestry, took a considerable share in promoting the colonial enterprises of the time, and was an active member of the Virginia Company’s governing council. Although profits proved elusive, his other visions for the Colony based at Jamestown were eventually accomplished. He was part of a faction within the company with Sir Edwin Sandys, who eventually became the Treasurer, and worked tirelessly to support the struggling venture. In addition to profits, Southampton’s faction sought a permanent colony which would enlarge British territory, relieve the nation’s overpopulation, and expand the market for English goods. Although profits largely eluded the Virginia Company, and it was dissolved in 1624, the other goals were accomplished.
His name is thought by many to be the origin of the naming of the harbor of Hampton Roads, and the Hampton River. Although named at later dates, similar attribution may involve the town (and later city) of Hampton, Virginia, as well as Southampton County, Virginia and Northampton County. However, the name Southampton was not uncommon in England, including an important port city and an entire region along the southern coast, which was originally part of Hampshire. There are also variations applied in other areas of the English colonies which were not part of the Virginia Company of London’s efforts, making the origin of the word and derivations of it as applied in Virginia even more debatable.
In 1624 he and his elder son enrolled themselves as volunteers for the United Provinces of the Netherlands against Spain. Immediately on landing they were attacked with fever, to which both succumbed, the father surviving until 10 November 1624.
In 1598 Henry Wriothesley married Elizabeth Vernon, the daughter of John Vernon of Hodnet by his wife Elizabeth Devereux. Elizabeth Devereux’s grandfathers were the Viscount Hereford and the Earl of Huntingdon; on her father John’s side, Elizabeth’s family were more obscure.
Henry and Elizabeth married while "…she was already highly pregnant". Recent speculation advances the possibility that their eldest child was actually by William Shakespeare.[6]
Henry and Elizabeth had several children including:
1. Penelope Wriothesley who married William Spencer, 2nd Baron Spencer of Wormleighton;
2. James Wriothesley b 1605 who died shortly before his father in the Netherlands;
3. Thomas Wriothesley b 1608 who became the 4th Earl Southampton;
4. Anne Wriothesley who married Robert Wallop of Farley Wallop.

Retirement Investment Strategies
Retirement Investment Strategies
Oh how often we daydream about our lazy days of retirement?
Do you picture yourself on a beautiful beach in a resort setting or maybe in a big city environment? What ever your retirement daydream may be, you really need to ask yourself : how will you pay for your retirement investment strategies to give you the income you desire?
In order to really live the dream of retirement, you need to get real.
Math equals (=) numbers and numbers don’t lie. They just tell the truth. Numbers don’t care who you are or where you want to go. They have no personality but a lot of meaning. Numbers are there for everyone to put to use in their retirement investment strategies.
First, how much do you need per year? Maybe your Social Security
and pension or IRA’s add up to ,000 per year. You have to figure all your expenses even if you plan to down size. There are probably ‘things’ you want to do that you haven’t done before. Maybe a trip to Europe or 2 cruises per year. You’ve had your eye on that ’62 Corvette
you could never afford. Add on a little extra for the unexpected. Let’s say K per year. So in total, you will need an income of about ,000 per year. If you minus your guaranteed income of Social Security and pension (IRA), you will need an extra ,000 per year.
Holy extra income batman. So, Robin comes out of the bat cave with retirement investment strategies.
Most retirees continue to work because of <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);” href=”http://retirementusa.com/financial”>financial</a> need and to avoid boredom. If you don’t plan to work, retirement investment strategies
may include downsizing by selling your home and taking the surplus to invest for a monthly income. Where will you invest those funds? Just like your life before (retirement), life in retirement has no guarantees.
So, you must approach retirement investment strategies with an open mind and stick with sound retirement investment strategies that will benefit you.
Any investment counselor should be able to help you see the importance of retirement investment strategies that fit your risk tolerance and needs. Only use a financial specialist that has credentials, tax attorney or CPA.
Once you start dipping into your retirement investment strategies,
keep a flexible attitude about spending so you may keep on track.
What’s important is that there are not retirement investment strategies that are generic. In your tools, there will be a mix of
index funds, managed funds (actively) and funds that should be targeted for certain dates and guaranteed principal funds. When you hear the word, funds, it simply means your money deposited into a certain product that will fund or earn you income.
Your goals should include maximum wealth, high returns and growth.
As you are approaching retirement, your retirement investment strategies should take you out of risk investments and place you into conservative and guaranteed investments with certain percentages of your portfolio in each. Retirement investment strategies are based on a relationship of risk and return. What are some retirement investment strategies?
*<a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);” href=”http://retirementusa.com/financial/investments/bonds”> mutual funds</a>
* stocks, also known as equities
* bonds: municipal, corporate, federal gov’t
* annuities
* c.d.’s
Each may have their own inner or sub investments. Due your due
diligence. It’s retirement investment strategies for your future and yours alone.

Commercial Property Listings: Where can You Find Them?
Commercial Property Listings: Where can You Find Them?
There are many places that you can find commercial property listings that may or may not meet your interests. Each of them offers a few unique pros and cons worth taking into consideration before you decide on your source of information about these listings which can prove vital to the overall success of your real estate investment lease ventures.
Local Commercial Real Estate Listings
Most communities have publications that are sent out monthly with various commercial property listings included in them. These listings offer some details on the property that are very useful and can help you narrow your search to some degree. The pros are that they are usually filled with listings that are local to you so it’s possible to drive by. The downside is that you’re only getting what the listings have to offer. You’ll still have to do a drive by and will likely need to consult a Realtor for a closer look at the properties you’re interested in seeing.
Online Listings for Commercial Properties
This is a growing trend and something you’ll see more and more of as the world becomes smaller and much more tech savvy. The good news is that you can take a peek inside many of the properties that are offered through these listings. The downside is that you are still limited to only the views that play up the best in any property by looking online.
The other downside of online directories or commercial property listings is that they aren’t always limited to your local area. You might have some sifting to do depending on how sophisticated the software that allows you to browse their directory happens to be.
Commercial Property Realtors for a more Personal Touch
Realtors that specialize in commercial real estate might be the best bet for many people and an excellent first choice for even more that are interested in checking out commercial property listings in any given area. Realtors know the community. It’s their livelihood to know the community. They know areas that are up and coming, areas that are a little run down but still viable (especially of worth to investors with little up front capital) and they know the areas that aren’t as promising but where you might be able to find an excellent deal on investment worthy properties.
More importantly they can ask you what you want and eliminate hours of searching and researching on your behalf. The only thing better than the time a qualified Realtor can save you than time is the money he or she can save you by helping you quickly scoop up a good deal on a newly listed property that hasn’t made the Internet or print publication listings just yet.
You’ll have to decide which method for finding great commercial property listings works best for you. It’s a good idea to use some combination of all these search methods in order to quickly sort out what you do and do not want in a property and get your offer in before others have the chance to up the bidding.

Foreign Currency Investment Funds – Do They Represent the Future of Safe Investments?
Foreign Currency Investment Funds – Do They Represent the Future of Safe Investments?
Foreign Currency Investment Funds
The ascent of managed forex funds began around 3 years ago. Investors were worn-out of losing money on the stock market, and looking into alternative investments. Millions jumped into the real estate market, on the back of soaring prices and cheap loans. But when the credit crisis happened, many people lost everything. Foreign Currency Investment Funds
But those wise enough to invest in forex managed funds avoided all of this. Currencies performed very well as all other asset classes crashed. This is because there is little or no correlation between the forex market and the stock market. In other words, if the stock market goes down, the currency market may still go up.
Diversification is the key to getting better investment returns. Whilst the experts may disagree on the exact way to do this, all agree that a balanced and broad portfolio, containing investments in many distinctive asset classes, is key to obtaining the best returns. Therefore, it can easily be seen that an investment in a managed forex fund can play a pivotal role in a portfolio’s diversification, and in turn, the performance.
So, having discussed the potential benefits of a managed forex fund, what about the potential pitfalls? The main problem is avoiding manage funds run by unscrupulous fund managers. The internet has been a big problem with this – it provides managers with a face to hide behind – all they need is a website to get started these days.. Therefore, an investor needs to do thorough research into potential investments.. This includes carrying out research on the manager, seeing performance statements, and examining where the manager is based, to ensure that he is genuine, and not a fraudulent manager.
So what rates of return can an investor who invests in a managed forex fund expect? Performance depends on many things, such as the investment strategy, and the degree of leverage being used. The majority of forex funds have a return of between 10% and 60% per year, but this will vary from manager to manager, and also from year to year. Foreign Currency Investment Funds
Some funds take a more conservative approach to trading, using very little leverage, and targeting lower returns, around 10% to 15% per annum. This is a low return, but the upside is that your risk is also very low.. Of course, you could opt for more risky strategies, where you could double your money – but there is also an inherent risk there as well. So it is important to find a managed forex fund which suits your appetite for risk.The first, and certainly one of the most important factors which determine the rate of return, is what degree of leverage the manager is using.
It is a simple equation – more leverage equals more risk, and more risk of a fund meltdown.. What some people fail to understand, is that leverage is the main reason that most currency traders, and for that matter, most forex managers, fail, and blow up their accounts. Managed forex funds are no different. The fund is reliant on the manager, and the more leverage he or she uses, the bigger the risks involved.
To conclude, therefore, it can be seen that managed forex funds are better in a number of ways compared to all other asset classes. All the same, investors must still have to carry out in depth research into what kind of managed forex fund suits them. We saw that there are a wide assortment of managed forex funds, and investors have differing goals and ambitions. Foreign Currency Investment Funds

Investment Property Mortgage Loan Comparison Software
Investment Property Mortgage Loan Comparison Software
Anyone that wants to get into the real estate business is likely going to need some sort of investment property mortgage loan, unless they have a large amount of money that is free for investing. Lots of banks offer special financing for people who want to make a property investment.
These are called investment property mortgage loans, and they have been helping people get started in the real estate industry for years. If you have any property of your own paid off, then you will be able to use it as collateral and get a mortgage loan with good terms and a decent principle that will allow you to follow your real estate dreams.
You should contact all of your local banks to find out what they offer in terms of property investment loans. Keep a notepad with you, and write down the basics of every financing option – the initial interest rate, the maximum available amount, the term, monthly payment plans, the recourse, the fees, and anything else that will have an effect on your borrowed amount. If they have any literature on their financing offerings, be certain to get that as well.
Most of the time, the terms will depend on your credit, and what you have to offer as collateral. Once you’ve got all of this information gathered, you can make use of various tools to analyze your financial prospects.
Initially, you will have to enter all of the data that you gathered into a chart to help you easily compare your available opportunities. First, you should go through and figure out if any of them will be simply unviable for whatever reasons – for example, if you aren’t sure you’ll be able to make the payments on time, you should not consider that deal.
Next, you can use your analysis tool to compare all of the loan options, and figure out which one will be the most profitable, and take the least amount of money from your profits.
Once you’ve determined which property investment offer will be best for you, you should start creating a plan that will outline your investment intentions. This may even be required by the bank, and a loan officer will look over your proposal to ensure that you have a solid business plan. But whether it is compulsory or not, a solidly formed plan will give you personal satisfaction knowing that once you have your investment property mortgage loan, you know exactly what you are going to do with it.
As for tools that will help you compare your financing alternatives, you should investigate all of the options that are available to you. If you use a program that can easily compare your options, then you will save hours of manual work which would have involved performing endless calculations. Using investment software can help you find the best loan and profit as much as possible from your real estate ventures. The technology is available, so make the most of the software.
Getting into real estate for yourself takes a great deal of work. One of the first steps is to check out your investment property mortgage loan options. KISCL offers software to help you along. http://www.kiscl.com
Uk Land Investments Group – the Trendsetter in the Land Banking Sector!
Uk Land Investments Group – the Trendsetter in the Land Banking Sector!
UKLI Ltd, trading as UK Land Investments Group, creates new trends in the Land Banking industry in the UK. While land investments were once a privilege of industrious property developers and land tycoons, UK Land Investments Group has made freehold plots of land available to individual investors across the globe.
Besides, UK Land Investments Group has further raised the bar by offering UK land to investors from over 29 countries, thus giving the industry a global market.
UK Land Investments Group buys vast spans of strategic land without planning permission in the UK identified by them as holding real potential, thus offering a lucrative return on investment to its investors in the medium to long run. The group also invests large sums of money to conduct detailed tests in order to ascertain that the land they purchase is prime and lucrative.
The group then divides these sites into plots for selling to discerning investors. As per the past trends, investments in UK land have inevitably resulted into high appreciation of land value in a reasonable period and consequently, offered very good returns.
The value of land in the UK holds a potential of 250 and 350% returns on its investment. In addition, prime strategic land in the UK rose 370% between 1994 2004 alone.
Owing to the fact that there is a dearth of appropriate housing in the UK, especially in the South-East of England versus the constant increase in population and expansion of metro cities towards suburbs, land in the UK bears an undeniable demand.
Thus, UK Land Investments Group, being the largest land banker in the UK, now help investors to realise their dreams by owning freehold plots of strategic land, which they can hold and then sell off at a later period and potentially earn substantial wealth.
UK Land Investments Group is the trading name of UKLI Ltd, UK.

End of the ride
Image by Stephen Rees
The dykes around Richmond form a very popular, mostly car free, route for walks and bike rides. The north dyke is one of the least used. It is still a largely industrial area – although that is now changing. Most attention for recreational use of the path is devoted to other sections, and the western end of the dyke is in dire need of investment. The opening of the Canada Line bridge, with its additional walk and bike path would, you might have thought, been a good opportunity, but both Vancouver and Richmond have muffed the opportunity. On the Richmond side the bridge is high over the dyke and the the bike/walk path lands at River Road. The dyke trail simply dead ends at a wharf – with no hope of connection to anything at present. There is not even a sign to indicate that users need to use No 4 Road to continue towards the rest of the bike "network" – which itself is only signposted from the west.
This two metre sheer drop is what prevents dyke users from trespassing on the wharf property.

The wonderful Westin Hotel Dublin – Superb service, great ambiance, wonderful atmosphere, great food and drink offerings, luxury rooms, elegant location, the heart of the city, all wrapped up in magical surroundings! Enjoy!:)

In 1930, hotel owners Severt W. Thurston and Frank Dupar, both of Yakima, Washington USA, formed a partnership in order to manage their hotels more efficiently. Together with Peter and Adolph Schmidt they formed Western Hotels, with seventeen properties, all but one in the state of Washington.[2]
Early management developed each property individually. After more than two decades of rapid growth, prompting a name change in 1954 to Western International Hotels, many of its properties were merged into a single corporate structure in 1958, and the company went public in 1963. For its 50th anniversary in 1980, it changed its name again to the current Westin Hotels & Resorts.
In 1970, the chain was acquired by UAL Corporation. In 1987, UAL Chairman Richard Ferris announced a plan to make UAL into Allegis, a travel conglomerate based around United Airlines, Hertz Rent a Car, Hilton Hotels, and Westin and linked by Apollo. This strategy failed, however, and Westin was sold to Aoki Corporation of Japan. In 1994 Aoki sold it to Starwood Capital, real estate investment firm and parent of Starwood Lodging, and Goldman Sachs, an investment bank. In 1998 Starwood assumed full ownership of the company.[2]
Westin claims to have been the first hotel chain to introduce guest credit cards (in 1946), 24-hour room service (1969), and personal voice mail in each room (1991).[3]
Westin markets certain amenities available in its properties to the public under the brand name Heavenly. In 2005, Westin became the first hotel company to gain a national retail store presence when Nordstrom started carrying the Heavenly Bed line in more than 60 stores.
Westin refreshed its partnership with United Airlines in 2008. United offers pillows and blankets from their Heavenly Bed line on select United premium service routes between New York City and California, as well as Westin decorations and scents in some Red Carpet Club lounges.
