Developing Paradise S.A. Releases 10 Acres on Gulf Of Nicoya in Costa Rica for Less Than $12,000/Acre

September 1st, 2010

Guanacaste, Costa Rica (PRWEB) April 2, 2008

More and more Americans seeking an affordable piece of paradise are looking to Costa Rica and Developing Paradise S. A. can now fulfill that dream. The company is selling developed land with roads and utilities for less than ,000 per acre on the Gulf of Nicoya, just ten minutes off the Pan American Highway. Costa Rica is known for its exotic animals and tropical landscapes, but acquiring Costa Rica land is the main reason investors are now looking south to build that second home.

Due to the dramatic increase in appreciation of coastal properties around the world, the land available within the hundreds of miles of coastline in Costa Rica is being bought up quickly. Coupled with the fact that traveling to Costa Rica is only a two-hour flight from Southern United States, more and more investors and retirees are visiting in search of beautiful and profitable investment property.

Not only is the country extremely diverse and breathtaking but also the Costa Rica real estate for sale and development costs are remarkably lower than in the United States. With the US housing and economy faltering, the excellent return on investments make Costa Rica land for sale an attractive buy. Last year, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency World Fact Book ranked Costa Rica as one of five countries that stands “head and shoulders above all other nations worldwide in terms of the potential their real estate markets present property investors.”

Even considering the downturn of U.S. real estate market, a typical 1-acre lot of Costa Rica property is available from Developing Paradise S.A. at about 60-80% less than comparables in North America. Raw land being developed in Costa Rica can triple its value in as little as five years. In addition, to encourage development and investor interest, the Costa Rica government has reduced the amount of “red tape” necessary to acquire and develop land, and actually provides incentives to solicit foreign investment.

Miguel Tapia, finance director of the Costa Rica Construction Chamber says, “Beach tourism development has brought along with it a series of additional developments, such as construction of banks, commercial centers, storage rooms and other services. The construction industry has been struggling to find enough labor to keep up with growth.”

A recent issue of the Costa Rica Journal stated, “The Costa Rica cost of living provides another incentive for investors and especially retirees. At ,000/month of income an individual can live very comfortably, and the tax consequences for owning property have remained very low.” The country has most technology and medical advances that North Americans see daily, plus the quality of life is also at the standards accustomed to.

When Compared to the nearby countries of Panama, Honduras and Nicaragua over the last ten years, Costa Rica has proven a better country for purchasing land, building a second home and gaining consistent appreciation. All facts considered, Costa Rica has become a very desirable market for potential landowners who desire a second home in an exotic locale.

In a February issue of ‘The Tico Times’ it states that “with the country experiencing a continuing real estate boom, emerging condo projects such as the one in the western San Jose suburb of Escazu’ are a common sight.” If land values continue to increase at their current pace, experts predict that acquiring acreage and Costa Rica real estate may be unattainable for middle-class North Americans within a decade.

Q&A: Credit Help?

August 31st, 2010

Question by neversummer187: Credit Help?
I accumulated quite a bit of revolving debt that I am paying off now. I have not used any of these account now in a while as I am paying them off. Once I get them to $ 0 balance I plan on kepeing them open a I will use them again but there may be quite a gap in usage. I know inactive accounts can end up hurting you as the issuer may stop reporting but how long does this typically take? and is it better to close these account or keep them open? Also a few of my cards have credit balance increases available. I dont plan on using the additional credit so will it be good to take advantage of these as it will make a bigger gap between my used and available credit?

Best answer:

Answer by Robert
Your strategy is a sound one. By paying your balance down you are increasing gap in your debt to credit ratio. This will help your credit score. Keep the accounts open and use them only once or twice a year after you have paid them off. This will keep them active and reporting. As long as they are reporting your credit will look good. Longevity of an account is one of the things that creditors look for when determining your credit worthiness.

Keep up the good work. You are doing fine.

Charleston Your Home Sponsors “The Long and Short of It The Anatomy of a Short Sale” at the Carter Real Estate Center

August 31st, 2010

Charleston, SC (PRWEB) June 17, 2009

If you are considering buying or selling real estate in Charleston, SC, mark your calendars for a special free event sponsored by Charleston Your Home. With home prices declining, and more homeowners falling behind on their payments, “short sales” are hitting the Charleston, SC market more than ever before.

The Long and Short of It – The Anatomy of a Short Sale will be held on Tuesday, June 23, 2009 from 6:00-8:00 PM at The Carter Real Estate Center in the Wachovia Auditorium at 5 Liberty Street, Charleston, SC.

During this informative and topical seminar they’ll explore the in’s and out’s of the process including: What, really, is a short sale? How do they work? And is a short sale right for me?

The seminar features a distinguished panel of specialists that include:


    Harry B. Smith – Bank of America
    Mark Weeks – Weeks, Foti & Irvine LLC
    Derrick Potts – Welch, Roberts, Amburn
    Tammie Hoy – Executive Director of the Lowcountry Housing Trust
    Debbie Kidd – Housing Director of Home Ownership Resource Center a division of Family Services.

“Now more than ever there is a need for affordably priced housing with increasing job loss and many families losing their homes to foreclosure, housing affordability for the first time in almost ten years is top of mind. Elected officials, policy makers, business leaders and concerned citizens should seriously take a look at how this “New housing economy” is impacting and will impact our economic and social future in the Lowcountry,” said Hoy.

“REALTORS® are in a position to help people avoid foreclosure, and can be a great catalyst for the recovery of this housing crisis. This is a market for the real estate agent that can think creatively and utilize all resources available to get the deals closed” stated Diane Szoke & Carolyn Dubrofsky co-owners of Charleston Your Home and lead sponsor of the event.

Short Sales, often known in lending circles as a ‘discounted payoff’, occur when a lender approves the sale of a property for less than market value because of a financial hardship. However, lenders do not want to own real estate. They would rather take a loss on a sale than actually own the property. Lenders also don’t like to foreclose. It is a process that costs them time and money and then they are stuck owning property. So the bank will lose a little now to avoid losing a lot via foreclosure.

“Any transaction that could possibly result in the recognition of income or capital gain needs to be examined closely by either your CPA or financial advisor, a short sale is a perfect example,” asserts Potts

Whether you are buying, selling, or need help understanding a short-sale, loan modification, special forbearance situation, partial claim, pre-foreclosure sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure situation this seminar can help answer many your questions.

Seating is limited so please be sure to R.S.V.P. by June 19, reply to Tracie Mitchum of the Carter Real Estate Center at 843-953-8103.

Las Vegas Strip Condo Website Geared Towards Celebrities and Pro Athletes Hits the Scene

August 31st, 2010


VegasCondoScene focuses on protecting celebrities and athletes.


Las Vegas, Nevada (PRWEB) April 16, 2008

Once again, Celebrity High-Rise Consultant Aaron Auxier is the talk of the town. Auxier recently launched the new www.VegasCondoScene.com, a chic and trendy website that caters to celebrities and professional athletes who want to learn about the Las Vegas high-rise market.

“VegasCondoScene is extremely easy to use and shares relevant facts about individual buildings,” explains Auxier. “Most importantly, it gives those who seek discretion an opportunity to learn about my boutique firm Luxury Realty Group, our commitment to client privacy, and our connections in Las Vegas. It’s where hip meets luxury.”

Taking the place of typical client testimonials is a Kudos page. Having been tagged ‘Hollywood’s Connection to Vegas’ by E! Entertainment founder Alan Mruvka, visitors can read quotes from people in the entertainment and real estate industries regarding Auxier’s knowledge of the market and experience with protecting high-profile clientele.

The focus on education is made obvious throughout the site. Frequently Asked Questions, High-Rise Tips, and Questions to Ask a REALTOR® are all found in the site’s menus. Visitors can learn what they might: sacrifice by requesting information direct from a sales center, encounter in a dual agency, and much more. “I want celebrities and athletes to know that they have rights when it comes to purchasing high-rise condos in Las Vegas,” says Auxier. “Many times they don’t know how easily they can lose those rights. Think of me as a sports agent for real estate”

Aaron also understands why some people get frustrated and contact sales centers direct. “Las Vegas high-rise websites (built by real estate agents) are often outdated when it comes to information, renderings, and pricing,” he says. “Many sites simply clutter their pages with cut-and-paste information from developer websites.

VegasCondoScene features 100 percent original, hand-written content. An exciting feature of the site is the Lifestyle: by Aaron sections. Whether they desire the glitz and glamour of The Harmon Residences at CityCenter or the refined global elegance of the Palazzo Luxury Condominiums, potential investors will get an insider’s take on the ambiance and vibe of individual projects.

Visitors can also view a map which highlights the locations of hotel and condo developments on or near the Las Vegas Strip. Through the use of a color-coded legend, the map points out projects that are: proposed, approved, under construction, and existing.

Aaron Auxier, who recently received national press for setting the top-three residential price-per-square-foot records in the history of Las Vegas by selling multiple penthouses to clients ‘in the music biz’, seems to have yet another hit on his hands.

The new VegasCondoScene is ready for prime time.
