Where Real Estate is Tax-Free and Highly Profitable
Ever wonder where Europe's "smart money"
goes? If you'd like to find out how you can buy for pennies on the
dollar (own and sell at a profit an apartment valued at $100,000
for as little as $20,000) or improve your lifestyle by profiting
off of the expanding European Union while living in a paradise,
keep reading....
This is the view I've been waking up to for the past two weeks.
The
price for this view is quite less then you might imagine, a mere
fraction of what it would cost in other places in Europe. It can
also be tax-free.
Taking part in the European sense of "joie de vivre,"
being surrounded by thousands of years of history, experiencing
rich cultures other then our own; all sound like a privilege
that few of us can bankroll. However, this is a great misnomer.
Not only is the charmed life in Europe
an affordable proposition, it's also a profitable one.
The people who are out there living the good life, who are rich
and keep getting richer often are those who chose to go down a road
a little less traveled and utilize investment secrets that few people
have access to -- if this wasn't the case, everyone would be rich.
A growing number of people are among the elite investor group who
have discovered what
groups like Price Waterhouse Coopers and a Place in the Sun back-up;
some of the worlds
hottest real estate investment opportunities are also a little off-the-beaten
path. And, the way to make those investments is just as unique as
the locations themselves are.
In today's "secret Europe" you can get in at bargain basement
prices and reap huge profits. In fact, if you were to have invested
at this time last year in the first place I'm about to tell you
about, on average, your investment would have went up more then
200%, yet it would still be far below the European norm.
There's no doubt that you've read about this place.
You've most likely heard stories about it since you were a child.
The place is Transylvania, it’s real and it’s in the
modern day country of Romania. It's a storybook land of castles,
medieval towns, and breathtaking nature. In this part of secret
Europe you'll feel like you're living in a fairly tale. In the course
of a day you'll see castles that will wow you or make you tremble,
mountains comparable to the Swiss Alps with complete modern infrastructure
in-place, cascading waterfalls, untouched medieval towns and cosmopolitan
cities with all of the culture and nightlife you would expect to
find in Europe.
Even the ground yields surprises and miracles at every turn. People
digging here have found busts of Nero and coins with Caesar’s
likeness. Natural thermal water springs here have been attributed
with healing a variety of ailments.
In fact, it’s so great that there is a local saying that it's
"better to spend a week here, then a lifetime anywhere else."
The reality though is that you can live inside this postcard perfect
landscape for a week on
vacation or a lifetime, if you choose, and your investments here
can pay for all of your bills.
Investors are just starting to get wind of this incredible treasure
trove-filled land. This area is about to become part of the European
Union. That means billions of Euro is and will be invested in additional
infrastructure and the region will prosper in many ways, including
in tourism. It also means incredible real estate opportunities for
those prepared to act in the short-term and the chance to live the
charmed life in an increasingly less secret part of Europe.
You can come and visit, staying at a bed and breakfast for about
$30 a night. Or...you can buy something with a view like mine...
for as little as $20,000.
But, don't hesitate, Count Dracula is long gone but Europe is coming
fast. Property values will continue to rise dramatically and amenities
will continue to improve, all to correspond with EU standards. Eventually,
Transylvania will become as untouchable as many other European destinations.
Whether you act now or not will make the difference between whether
you have the luxury to live a fairy tale life or keep living as
the saying goes “in a fairy tale.”

What exactly is an off plan?
In simple terms, an off plan property is one that is net yet finished
construction. Normally, ‘off plans’ are offered in an
apartment or condominium complex or a development of houses or townhouses.
The buyer "reserves" a property or properties in a development
found
in one of a various number of stages from planning to completion
by paying what usually amounts to a reasonable down-payment. Usually,
further payment(s) come at the time of completion and the handing
over the key.
Why Off Plan is considered such an attractive investment
consideration.
One key to why buying 'Off Plan' can be such a good investment lies
in the fact that normally you only have to pay approximately 30-40%
of the purchase price as a
deposit and then often nothing until completion of the property
when the rest can be financed on a 60-70% mortgage (however some
off-plans are staged in 3 to 4 payments).
How this model plays itself out in practical application can be
seen in the example below:
Purchase Price: $ 100,000 (September 2006)
Deposit payable: $ 30,000
Let us assume that you sell the property in September 2008 (assuming
the maximum wait period for almost any off-plan project) just before
completion and that you sell for 130,000
(this is a much lower return than has been achieved in recent years).
Your profit is $30,000 which is obviously on the $100,000 asking
price a 30% return, but remember, all you have had to pay is a $30,000
deposit so your actual return on cash invested is 100%. You’ve
doubled you’re investment money.
Many people also finance the 30-40% deposit by through releasing
equity for their existing property and so do not actually have to
have any liquid cash to take advantage of this profitable investment
opportunity.
NO CAPITAL GAINS TAX
One of the reasons for the popularity of selling before
completion is that there is NO CAPITAL GAINS TAX to be paid at all
if you make a profit however big by selling before completion. This
is a form of ‘property flipping.’
HIGH FUTURE CAPITOL GROWTH OUTLOOK
When you purchase an off-plan property at the right price and in
the right area high capitol growth is to be expected. This is the
reason why developing countries like Bulgaria and Romania, receive
a good deal of the off-plan investment business. The chart below
looks at a property with a purchase cost of $120,000 and the possible
future capitol growth based on a 5 to 20% growth rate per year.

The capitol growth expectations listed above are rather modest.
Capitol growth averaged 17% last year in Spain while Turkey averaged
34% growth overall.
Depending on the time frame which you desire to hold onto the property
for, you will have to decide whether to flip your property before
completion of the construction and avoid capitol gains tax or hold
on to your property and reap the likely capitol gains and equity
growth you would receive for holding on to your investment for a
longer time period.
Also be advised that some countries such as Bulgaria are offering
tax-free incentives for those who hold there properties for more
then 5 years and that it is possible in Romania to buy an apartment
free of VAT tax by first forming a company. Interested in one of
the above properties or in finding out more about investing "smart
money" in off plans?
