				<title>Transforming REOs to Best Real Estate Investments</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ REO stands for Real Estate Owned. Real Estate Owned is <a href="http://www.itrust.in/real-estate.action">real estate property</a> owned by a lender, usually a bank, a mortgage company, or other institutional lenders, following an unsuccessful foreclosure auction sale. Foreclosure is ordered when the owner of the real estate property fails to repay the loan borrowed with the property as collateral. In case of a foreclosure, the lender acquires the right to take possession of and sell the property in accordance with the terms stipulated in the mortgage contract, to fulfill the debt.<br /> <br /> A foreclosure auction sometimes doesn’t necessarily make a lucrative sale for the bank due to a variety of reasons. A major dampener being that the property owner’s debt is usually more than the market value of the real estate on sale. As such, the title is retained by the bank itself. A foreclosed property is a major encumbrance for banks, for it necessitates financial allocation as capital reserve, and secondly the management of the property is in itself an unwanted task.<br /> <br /> On possession of the property by the bank or other financial institution that holds the lien, any encumbrance associated with the property such as tax liens, HOA fees, etc., are managed by the institution itself. Damages are repaired to make the property more attractive for buyers.<br /> ]]></description>

				<title>Witnessing development along favorable parameters</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ As far as the ambient noise standards are concerned, which defines the quality and quantity of noise, the following table gives an idea of the required amount of sound in Leq dB (A), which is a standard for measuring noise levels.  If the cities in Kerala are to follow global standards with respect to the noise levels possible in city areas, then the recent circular from the environment department will be worth considering.  It is highly essential for desirable population density planning, so as to regulate the noise level in a particular area.<br /> <br /> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />                                                                        Leq dB (A)<br /> Sl. No                --------------------------------------------------------------<br /> 			 Area            Day Time      Night Time<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />     1		Industrial area       	75                  70<br />     2		Commercial area   	65                  55<br />     3		Residential area    	55                  45<br />     4		Silence zone          	50                  40<br /> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Leq or equivalent level, studies the magnitude of sound energy in the environment over a particular period.  It measures both the quality and quantity of environment noise.  The above table gives the desirable normal standard during the day and night in industrial, commercial, residential and silence zone.  In most instances in [b][url="http://www.abadbuilders.com/index.asp"]Kerala property[/url][/b] development is taking place more in areas adjacent to the residential centers and far away from the industrial zones that are prone to noise pollution.<br /> <br /> The determinants of urban health such as roads, population density, the number of buildings in a particular area, quality of air, water and sound determine the quality of life for a person in an urban environment.  The deteriorating urban situation can be brought back from the brink only through coordinated public action.  Scores of government projects implemented earlier have not achieved good results mainly due to the lack of interest from the target group.<br /> ]]></description>

				<title>The Land Commission Act and present developments</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ The Land Commission Act established a Land Commission with two main functions.  Firstly, it had to assess and collect a new levy on the development value of land.  However, the state government, heeding to the major causes of the failure of the earlier development taxation model, fixed the new levy at 40 percent.  But to deter the landowners from offering land for redevelopment, the levy was eventually hiked to 50 percent and even higher.<br /> <br /> Secondly, the Commission could influence the allocation of resources by actively participating in the ups and downs in the real estate market.  Armed with compulsory purchase powers, it was able to buy land ripe for development and resell it to other real estate developers, with public authorities and small house builders enjoying concessionary rates.<br /> <br /> In practice, the schemes ran into difficulties.  Not only did the cost of collecting the levy prove heavy enough land was also not available for development.  While on the one hand, landowners were prepared to take a chance on a new government that is committed to abolition of the Land Commission, when returned to power, on the other hand, in three years time, the Land Commission accumulated only 2000 acres of land for development (as against an expected 50,000 acres per annum) largely because the local planning bodies proved to be a drag on its activities.  Thus for developing landed [url=http://www.abadbuilders.com/aboutus.asp] Properties Kerala [/url] offered unique advantages and its investor savvy local bodies always made things easier for the private developers, while the government initiatives were caught up in vexed legal disputes.<br /> <br /> Hence, when a new government took over, the Land Commission was abolished.  The income on revenue was to be collected at a rate of 30 percent through the capital gains tax, which had been introduced earlier.<br /> <br /> As a result of the public outcry against the profits made through speculation in land, a development gains tax was introduced.  The tax was levied at the tax rate determined by the corporation for a company or a real estate firm at the marginal income-tax rate (excluding the investment surcharge), or for an individual due to an increase in the value of land arising from the planning permission given for a new use, and was payable on first lettings.  It remained in force until replaced by the development land tax later on.<br /> <br /> <br /> ]]></description>

				<title>Apartment hotels</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ In Kerala, temple architecture was also influenced by the developments in TamilNadu. At Sucheendram and Tiruvananthapuram this influence is clearly seen. Herein lofty enclosures, sculptured corridors and ornate mandapams all in granite stone practically conceal the view of the original main shrine in typical Kerala style. The entrance tower or gopuram of the Padmanabha Swamy temple rises to lofty heights in a style distinct from that of the humble two storey tiled ‘ambalakettu’ structure found elsewhere. However, in well documented writings of Her Highness Rani Lakshmi Bhai, of the Travancore Royal Family, one is delighted to discover that the Tamilian Style gopuram was constructed by the King to graciously acknowledge the Tamil worshippers who came from the East. Thus the East Gate is distinctly different from the other three Kerala style entrances, also replicated in grand and even smaller mansions of the landed gentry and even their caretakers in cases of absentee landlords. The senior Rani who has written several books on the architecture, culture and religion of Kerala confirmed this act of generosity of a ruling monarch. Sadly popular and elected representatives of the Independent Democratic Republic of India fail to rise to such standards of democracy that they are sworn to provide.<br /> <br /> The [b][i][url=http://www.lotusproperties.in/] Apartments in Tripunithura [/url][/i] [/b]are well known for their quality of service, maintaining its properties, and treating the customers with all the new facilities. Extended stay hotels are popular with business travelers on extended assignments, families in the midst of relocation, and anyone else in need of temporary housing. Extended stay hotels are also used by travelers who appreciate the larger space a typical suite provides. Essentially the apartment hotel combines the flexibility of apartment living with the service of a hotel. Many of the apartments take advantage of prime locations with panoramic views of cities seen through wall to ceiling windows. Suites usually include high quality finishes, broadband connection and interactive TV, servicing and integrated kitchen and bathroom. High quality leather sofas in the living area and king size beds bring the hotel experience to a whole new level. Those are the luxuries; they also come with the basics: satellite or cable TV, washer, dryer, dishwasher, cooker, oven, fridge, freezer, sink, shower, bath, wardrobes, all the furnishings to be expected in a luxury home.<br /> ]]></description>
