RE/MAX Realty Review - March 2014

REALTY REVIEW – March 2014
Congratulations first for successfully passing of the long pending bill of new state creation. It was a long
pending one and due as well. I am sure it is question that whether it will be a good decision or not to invest
or stay invested in the new state. The passage of Telangana Bill is being seen as a booster for the realty
sector players in Andhra Pradesh and Hyderabad, both affected due to prolonged agitation for statehood. I
believe it would provide momentum in Hyderabad and Seemandhra. The latter is expected to see
development of new offices and residential projects will come up with the development of new cities.
However, it will take time for the momentum to set in and may not see an immediate effect at least for
another six months as more details on the restructuring are awaited. With both the State and the union
elections only a few months’ away, political conditions can still be considered volatile and may remain a
short term concern. Surge of the Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities will happen in the new states and better
investment returns are guaranteed for a long term player. For Hyderabad, which will be the common
Capital for both the new States for the next 10 years, the end of the stalemate would bring in stability.
Till the election time, there will be some good raw deals will be available in the market thus giving an
opportunity for investors and first home buyers.
By keeping all the changing scenario in mind, RE/MAX International has gone for a change and bringing in
sub divisions of the regions under the state. We are scouting for new region owners under the mentorship
and looking forward for growth in all parts of Telangana and Coastal Andhra.
Also inviting you all to be a part of our upcoming RE/MAX India Annual Convention 2014 happening from
12th April to 14th April and relish to be associate with us sooner.
Way ahead for exciting times in the way real estate trends going to change with a flipped business mode.
Love and Regards,

RE/MAX Real Estate Agents Retooling for New Market
“A lot of things did change over the last few years but a lot of things did not change. Agents are information
brokers who put data into context. The consumer wants to be informed, wants integrity and wants you to
give them the best advice,” said Dave Liniger. “So, we need to ask ourselves what will make us better over
the next 5 years and we need to challenge each other to make us all better.”
RE/MAX continues to adapt to changing market dynamics and take its business model to increasing
numbers of countries around the world.

RE/MAX ANDHRA PRADESH NEWS
RE/MAX Andhrapradesh Participated in Franchisee Expo
Franchising in India is estimated to be worth over $22 billion and is growing rapidly at 30% annually, "There
is a lot of entrepreneurial appetite in the country and people have money to invest," says Rishikesha T
Krishnan, professor of corporate strategy and policy at IIM-Bangalore. Franchising, where an entrepreneur
replicates a brand's per-unit business model by giving a fee and a share in the revenue, is also favoured by
companies across sectors and is now considered the most preferred gateway to a career in
entrepreneurship.
RE/MAX is a global leader in real estate franchising, in fact the No 1 real estate franchise globally and has
been expanding aggressively in India as well since 2009.

RE/MAX Andhra Pradesh recently participated in the leading franchising show by Franchisee India FRO-
2014 in Hyderabad. Over 200 inquiries in the 2 days show were received for knowing the one of its first
kind- real estate franchising.
Over a period what is becoming more evident is that big brands will inevitably increase their dominance in
their relative sector and the future belongs to them. This is because big brands offer credibility and security
as well as easy to understand systems, ongoing support and, most importantly, continual training — the
key to all success.”

According to Vastu Shastra, different wall colors have different properties. In general, green is considered
to drive away anxiety, yellow improves memory, pink eases tension, and orange is good for the appetite.
Living Room
Yellow, blue, green, and beige are suitable
colors for the living room as lighter and brighter
colors are preferred in spaces where guests are
entertained. These colors promote better
relationships and an active environment.
Dining Room
Orange, peach, pink, green, and blue are the
preferred colors for the dining room. Orange is
the most beneficial of all for dining as it is said to
improve appetite. Avoid black and all dull colors
as it is a place for eating and digesting.
Kitchen
For kitchen, white is the best color. It is the color
of purity and cleanliness, the best of all floor and
wall colors for cooking. It should also have a
dash of red to symbolize fire. It can be in the form
of utensils or decorations. Blue can also be used
in kitchens.
Puja Room/ Meditation Room
The colors yellow, sandalwood, blue, red, and
green are all suitable for meditation and Puja
room. Yellow and sandalwood are the best

painting the bedroom walls as these colors create a
tranquil environment and give good sleep. Pink is the
most preferred. Yellow can be used for the elderly.
Avoid dark blue and red for all bedroom interiors.

and direction or orientation of the house.
It is always advisable to seek the help of
Vastu consultants before making any
changes to your home.

9 Reasons Why You Should Choose Property Investment
Although there are many options for investing, property investment is one of the favorites. There are at
least 9 reasons why we should invest in property and not other types of investments:
1. The power of “Leverage”
To invest in our properties have the option to not use 100% of our money, but by using other people’s
money (OPM). One of the most common source is the money the bank loans. Depending on the country
where we are, we usually can get a loan from banks ranging from 70% to 95%. In this case we only need
to spend down payment of 5% to 30% of property price. This means leverage is nearly 3.3 to 20 times.
2. Relatively low risk
In general, investment in property is not like investing in the stock market where prices in one day can go
down and up quite significantly. Only in certain situations where the economy was bad, property
investments may be affected slightly. When compared with other investment types, such as opening a
business, saving money on deposit or invested in stocks, property investment has a lower risk than those
investments. If we look at the risk compared with income potential, the property has a relatively low risk
with good potential income from rents and capital gains.
3. Two sources of income: rental and capital gains
Property investment offers combination of rental income and capital gains. Investing in property is not only
going to give us a positive cash flow but also potential capital gains depends on property price increment
4. Full control to increase the value of property
If you have a property, you have full control of how you will increase the value of the property. There are
many ways that can be done to increase the value of property, ranging from very simple things like painting
the property. Other ways are to buy a few accessories or cosmetics, and renovations. These activities are
very important especially when we want to rent or sell property. Some people do small renovations to
increase the value of the property so that owners can sell at prices much higher.
5. Safe and sure investment in the long term
Property prices usually will not fluctuate so much. In general, it takes some time for property prices change
over time. This is different from the stock market where prices can change dramatically in the evening.
6. Protection against inflation
Unlike a savings or deposits where interest is given is usually much lower than the rate of inflation,
property prices usually follow at least the inflation rate. In this case, investing in property is still a better
option to protect them from inflation.

7. A good vehicle to achieve financial freedom
Using rental income to generate positive cash flow, it is possible to achieve financial independence after a
few years depending on the level of success of each person in the property investment.
8. Can reduce the tax burden
Founded the company and buy property using the name of the company can save taxes. Rental property
can be considered as income taxes and usually will apply only after deduction of all expenses charged.
Buying property on behalf of the company will be more profitable than buying on behalf of individuals.
9. Become rich through property
Property investment makes people truly wealthy. The key to wealth in property is through capital gains.
