It’s free real estate – properties for 1 Euro

The ‘it’s free real estate!’ meme, a line from a Tim & Eric Awesome Show, definitely comes to mind when looking at the latest property ads on the cheap real estate market. I could not believe it myself and was actually contacting the advertiser and told them to change the price to the actual value.

To my surprise all three properties the real estate agent offered for 1 Euro each turned out to really be for only one Euro. Of course, the one Euro is just a symbolic price.

But where is it and Why?

The location is beautiful Sicily. Apparently, that’s where several towns are testing the 1-euro scheme.

With this initiative, small towns with shrinking populations aim to repopulate the old town and recover abandoned real estate.

Those who purchase a building are free to use it as a home, hotel, B&B, restaurant, or shop — although tax incentives may be given to those who decide to stay and live there.

It perhaps sounds too good to be true, and there is, of course, always a catch. In reality, if a home for €1 sounds too good to be true, that’s because it is. €1 won’t get you a house that’s ready to move into. You have to be aware that you are buying a fixer-upper that comes with a few conditions.

The small town of Bivona is the latest destination for real estate tourists hoping to get one of the cheap houses. Make no mistake, Bivona is no ghost town. It is located at the foot of Monti Sicani, an area full of history and beauty. You can see more information about the project here: https://1eurohouses.com/case-a-1-euro-a-bivona/

If you are interested to get on with the sale right away, you will be happy to know that “My House” is the agency which has been appointed by the Town Hall of Bivona to handle the sale of these 1 euro properties. You can find their website on www.propertiesinsicily.com.

What are the most searched real estate locations?

I recently tried to find the most searched real estate locations in the world. Seems easy enough, right? Well, actually it is not. We can find the answer to that question only to some degree. The reason being that we have limited sources…

First of all, we usually can only see what people search on the internet.

Nobody is able to analyse all the requests real estate agents get from their clients all over the world in person. And to be fair, in many countries the face to face business is still more common than online business especially when it comes to real estate.

Another factor is the many languages spoken in this world. If I search for “most searched real estate locations” I will only get results in English – only representing English speaking countries. According to Wikipedia, there exists approx. 6500 languages though…

Another thing is that even among English speaking countries there are differences, one country might call it “real estate” but another country rather uses the word “property” instead.

Also, we can look at statistics of Google or similar search engines but what about the thousands of real estate portals that exists all over the world? How can we know what users enter in their search form? You really need to make a lot of research to come even close to an answer for that question.

Anyway, what kind of locations are you looking for? A country, a city or even a town…?

Usually people ask about the most searched real estate locations because they like to know where is a really good place for investment. But then, this again comes down to the good old fashion supply and demand rule. If demand increases and supply remains unchanged, then it leads to a higher price.

Taking this in account, we need to see where demand is actually increased.

To determine whether demand is increased you have to compare the number of searches for real estate with the number of available real estate. And this can mean that you don’t need to go all around the world to find a good investment. It might even be a small town in your own country.

From my experience any place (city, town) that has good jobs available has a thriving real estate market.

For example, I live in a small town with a lot of industry and jobs around. Therefore, the demand for real estate – especially one-bedroom apartments – is very high. The last apartment that was put up for sale sold within 12 hours. Amazing! That’s the kind of location you like to invest in.

But to come back to above question, here are some locations I found today using results of search engine results in English:

London, Vancouver, Toronto, Utah, Newburgh Indiana, Wake County and Allegheny County Real Estate

I have to say though, after all research I did on this topic those locations not necessarily are a good place for investment. You will always need to make more research to determine whether it is a good location for an investment or not.

What is House Hacking?

When I first read about house hacking, I was very surprised. I thought this was a new thing, but I discovered that I’m actually already doing it for years.

House Hacking is a great new name for a concept that has been around for a long time. Although it isn’t new, the popularity has increased dramatically. While owning real estate has becomes less affordable – especially in city centres, inventive home buyers are finding new ways to own a great property.

Basically, House Hacking is a tactic that includes renting out portions of your property to generate income. This income is used to pay your mortgage and other expenses linked with owning your real estate. If done properly, it lets you live in a great location completely for free, or even generate some profit.

Of course, although it gives you some financial relief it doesn’t come work free. You must be willing to become a landlord and take on all duties that come with it.

Ok, so how can I House Hack?

The entire idea of an effective House Hack is to find real estate with as many rentable spaces as possible to generate income. These can be a multi-family building with several apartments, extra bedrooms in a single-family house, additional space that can be converted into liveable space or even a garage.

That’s basically what I did. I bought a multi-family house with a garage. The property had 4 apartments. I moved into one apartment and rented the other three units and the garage. Like this I was able to live for free and the rents that I received paid all expenses of the property.

Best is to make some calculations before you go house hunting to see what you actually need. First question you need to tackle: How many units do I need to rent to pay the mortgage and other expenses of the property?

Also keep in mind that the location is very important. A great location will give you a better rent and you will find tenants quicker.

If you don’t like to consider a Multi-family property, what about a single-family house with a granny flat? Have a look around in the real estate market and see what could work for you.

Conclusion

If you like to be an inventive real estate investor but doesn’t want to pay the mortgage out of your own pocket, House Hacking could definitely work for you. Your real estate isn’t just your residence, but it’s also providing you with an income.

Start looking for your House Hack property.

10 small things you can do to keep your home in excellent shape

We all agree, how nice it is to live in your own home! But this does not necessarily need to be a new building, because a converted or older house can just be as good that, maybe even be better. At the same time, however, you should pay particular attention to older real estate to enjoy it for many years to come – and get its value in case you want to resell your home someday.

Let’s look at 10 tips on how to do this.

Tip 1: Do repairs without delay

Maintenance is key. Take care of necessary repairs immediately. Whether a drain is clogged, the gutter is leaking or the shutter is stuck… Do not postpone such supposed trivialities, but tackle them before they become a bigger problem. It does not always have to be a costly craftsman. Many things can be done by yourself or by friends. And if you ever need a professional you might be able to include his bill as an expense in your tax declaration.

Tip 2: Ventilate and heat properly

Even if the insulation has already been improved during the renovation, you can do even more to prevent condensation and mold. Do not place the windows in a tilt position for hours. Instead, it is advisable to have a breather once or twice a day, during which you open the windows for 5 to 10 minutes and turn off the heating. By the way, a cross ventilation is recommended for a complete exchange of air, in which the air flow pulls through the whole house. Open the intermediate doors and anchor them with a doorstop to prevent them from slamming.

Tip 3: Turn off water in winter

If you live in a climate with freezing cold winters turning off the water is a must. Maybe your house has pipes that lead to the garden or some unheated rooms like a garage. These should be turned off in winter, especially if there is a risk of frost. Otherwise a pipe break threatens because frozen water, meaning ice, needs more space in the pipe than liquid water. By the way, you should also completely empty the garden hose in winter, as it can also cause water damage.

Tip 4: Avoid moistening the wall

With heavy showers accompanied by heavy wind, you can usually wait for the walls to dry again. But not with snowdrifts: Anyone who does not actively remove the snow here risks damaging the walls. Then the mortar may crumble, and algae and mold can settle there. Therefore, you should always be mindful in winter. Even when snow clearing be careful to don’t shovel the snow directly on the house and garage walls.

Tip 5: Protect your parquet and laminate floors

Delicate floors should be treated gently. Dirt and moisture on the footwear damage parquet and laminate. Take off your shoes before entering or lay a runner where you cannot avoid entering with wet or dirty footwear. Be careful with potted plants and their irrigation water with these floor coverings. Place the plants in a saucer so that no soil or moisture reaches the floor of your home.

Tip 6: Use balcony plants sparingly, but pour more frequently

Many people when watering their balcony plants water so generously that the irrigation water runs down the balcony floor and walls. But watch out, here too will happen moisture damage. Keep in mind, it is better to pour a little more frequently, but well dosed, so that the water does not permanently damage the walls. By the way, frequent watering but with less water is also better for most plants.

Tip 7: Only burn dry and untreated wood in your wood stove

Some people dispose of lacquered or impregnated wood in their wood-burning oven. Not only does this cause harmful fumes, it also does not go well with your heating. It creates soot deposits in the exhaust pipe and chimney. Gloss is particularly dangerous as a result of too moist wood or too little oxygen. Because it can ignite and cause a chimney fire with temperatures up to 1,500 degrees Celsius. Therefore, only fire your stove with untreated, dry wood.

Tip 8: Do a spring check

And again, we talk about maintenance for your home. Fall and winter are regularly causing some damage to a building. There might be clogged gutters and downpipes, cracks in the plaster, roof tiles loosened by storm or peeling paint. Here, fast action is often required! Best you get a checklist of what to look out for. In some areas this checklist can be found at the Association of Private Builders.

Tip 9: Where water vapor is generated, air immediately

In dry rooms it is sufficient to ventilate once or twice a day. Not so in rooms where steam is created. We are talking about the bathroom after bathing and showering or in the kitchen during and after cooking. Even if it is still cold outside, ventilate the steam immediately. By the way, the bedroom should also be well ventilated, because steam also gets into the room air during sleep by respiring. And you know, when water vapor sets on cool walls, mold quickly turns up.

Tip 10: Ask chimney sweeper for advice

A heating system usually offers a lot of optimization potential. However, if you ask your heating engineer about this, you will not necessarily receive neutral information – because as an entrepreneur, he may have an interest in selling you something new. The chimney sweeper comes into the house anyway. And if you ask him, he can certainly give you a lot of good advice for the right setting of your heating system or for ideal heating behaviour in your property. Try it, it can be worth it!

An existing property can be a lot of fun!

Taking advantage of the best Commercial Real Estate for Sale

You like your commercial real estate purchase to be a smooth experience? Then, you may need to consider a professional agent to get you the best deals. With the increasing popularity of the real estate industry these days, you will find lots of commercial property for sale in the market.  However, these real estate agents play a vital role in helping you buy or sell a property efficiently.

It does not matter the type of business you are involved in; a reputed agent will provide you with the best commercial property for sale listings. After that, you can go through the listing provided and accordingly make an appropriate decision.

How To Determine The Value Of A Commercial Real Estate For Sale

When you are considering a commercial property for sale, one of the major things to ask for is the profit and loss statement. Some real estate agents may refer to this profit and loss statement as an income property operating data sheet (IPOD). The reason for this when looking at any commercial property for sale is that the owner and/or agent often tend to exaggerate the income that the commercial property for sale generates while also trying to lower the amount of operating expenses that are reported. But with the IPOD, you can compare the information provided by the seller or agent to your other sources to determine what the actual numbers are.

How To Protect Yourself

One way to protect yourself when considering a commercial property for sale is to ensure there is a clause in your purchase contract that gives you a period to escape the deal if you are not pleased with anything you find. If done correctly, you may tie up a commercial property for about 50 days to have enough time to determine its real value.

Hiring A Commercial Real Estate Agent

The best part of hiring a real estate agent is that they are generally up to date with the latest happenings in the industry, and will help you make amazing dealings to ensure you get what you desire. Before hiring one, you can check their past records, qualifications, as well as read their customer’s reviews to get an idea of what to expect from them. This way, your chances of getting good commercial real estate deals will be high.

Final thought

Commercial real estate can be a great investment opportunity for you. However, you don’t have to be frustrated if your initial efforts to get the best commercial property for sale end up fruitless.

Land for sale – 5 practical tips to sell your Real Estate

You have a land for sale? In this guide we have 5 practical tips for a successful real estate sale.

If your property is a designated building land and is located in a city or close to town, then the sales opportunities are excellent. Naturally, urban locations have only limited land available, there are hardly any gaps. At the same time, demand is usually high.

There are basically two target groups for the sale of a property; private individuals who want to realize their dream of owning a home, or property developers and project developers who want to realize their own construction projects in order to subsequently market them.

Most important for the buyer is to know how he can use the land.

1. Land for sale – Which marketing strategy to choose?

When marketing a plot of land prospective buyers should be informed about the details of building feasibility and different project perspectives to be developed (for example, building a detached house vs. erecting two semi-detached houses). If the size of the plot allows for only one or two units, both individuals and developers should be addressed in the marketing as both groups qualify as buyers. A real estate agent can develop the marketing concept.

If the plot is very attractive, the best-selling price can be obtained through a bidding process that sets a minimum bid and asks the bidder to bid higher. Bidding procedures should normally be carried out by market intermediaries. It is traditionally carried out by real estate agents who have already sold land more frequently and know the most important property developers in the region.

2. Developability of a property as an indicator of recoverable sales price

At what price a property can be sold, can be deduced most likely from the buildability of the property. In principle, the more living space it can have, the higher the sales price.

It might be a good idea to contact an architect to develop a possible building concept. Please keep in mind your target groups. If the land is good for both, the best is to show a sketch for each possibility (for example, a detached house as well as an apartment block). Probably, the architect is able to advice you on how much density can be build on your land.

3. Make a pre-application before selling the property?

In the event that the building feasibility is unclear because there is no qualified development plan and the buildability does not clearly result from the surrounding buildings, it may be useful for the seller of a plot to make a pre-application before marketing the property.

In the case of a pre-application to the planning department, the requesting party submits proposals for development to the building authority and then receives an official notification, which gives legally binding information on the buildability. Although the pre-application is costly and may take a few weeks, it facilitates the sale of a property.

4. Have all the legal documents in order

Before marketing your land for sale, you should put together all necessary documents. Usually, they are made available to the real estate agent and when it comes to the sale they will be given to the notary. As a result a buyer who decides to go ahead with the purchase will not need to wait. Unfortunately, it happens often that a buyer gives up because of the long waiting time to get all the needed documents in order.

5. How much is my land worth? – How to come up with the right price

There are different procedures to determine the value of a land. The method used depends on the type of property.

First of all, the comparative value method: The comparative value method sets the property in relation to similar properties that were sold in the same location. This procedure usually applies to privately used residential land.

In contrast, the earnings value method: This method is used primarily for land in which the future yields achievable by the land are taken into account for the value of the land. Examples of this are residential properties that are for rent or commercial properties.

Where can I buy and sell my land for Sale? That you already know.

How to lose weight fast with real estate


This is not a joke. I actually lost 9 kg in 6 month working on my first real estate project. Here is how you can lose weight with real estate.

It´s a few years ago now, but still a really nice time to remember – my first real estate project. First, I was actually not to keen on it. It was a massively big 3-storey house in an overgrown garden. The property needed renovation works throughout. A real bargain of course, so we had to have it.

With 64 kg I was not really fat, just a bit roundish maybe.

To be honest I was not really aiming to lose weight.

Somehow it just happened during this renovation project.

Basically, we just parked our caravan beside the house and started working. We managed to get broadband connected to the caravan, so I could still have my “home office” to support ourselves financially.

Getting the hands dirty was the best

There was so much to do in this real estate project more than we could ever do. But we were so excited and full of motivation that we worked like crazy. I remember, I was really keen to make myself a nice office in the house. There was this nice cosy room in the second floor with a great view over the valley. It had to be that one. At the same time, I wanted to tidy up the garden. I believe it was this combination that triggered my great weight loss.

Every day I would run up and down the stairs

I was working in my little office like from a tower and for every little thing I had to run downstairs. Getting a snack, going to the bathroom, getting a tea, answering the door, removing some weeds in the garden… I almost didn´t noticed it. It´s quite incredible how much energy you can get with the right motivation.

After doing this for 6 month I was down to 55 kg and really happy about it. This was a really welcome side effect of our real estate project.

Of course, the project was far from being finished after those 6 months but we were able to sell it with a €10,000 profit. It´s not a lot for a 6-month work but for a first project it was perfect. We had a great time and made a lot of experiences that helped us for later ventures.

Besides to do this as a real estate business, I can really recommend this for losing weight as well.

Real Estate Agents are still valued & in high demand

Certainly, nice to hear for every real estate agent, we just love them. Most of us can´t do without them. This is the conclusion of a survey recently carried out in Germany by INNOFACT AG (a market research institute).

We value their professionalism and expertise

The survey shows that most of private owners would rather hire a broker to sell their property than to market it themselves.

Almost 69 percent of them would hire a real estate agent even if they had to pay the fees themselves.

When searching for the right agent, they found, Internet research is ranked first. Naturally, a high revenue in the sale is priority for sellers during a quick and straightforward sales process.

57 percent of respondents said they want to ask a real estate agent to handle the sale. 36 percent want to try the real estate sale on their own. That applies with 44 per cent especially for the young age group from 18 to 39 years. 69 percent of those who want to hire a broker would do so even if they had to pay parts or 100 percent of the commission themselves.

“What if the property in question is far away?” they asked

The answers of those who would rather sell their real estate themselves are even more striking in this case. Suggesting a travel time of around one hour or more, 96 percent say that they would hire a real estate agent in this case. Even under the assumption that they would pay his fees, 84 percent say that they want to work with a broker.

Not a surprise

Answering about the order of the most important aspects in the property sale, owners answer:

1: As high as possible

2: As fast as possible the sale

3: As little effort as possible

So, to all real estate agents: we love you – keep up the good work.

Real Estate Meaning

For everybody who is not a native speaker hearing the first time the wording “real estate” might seem odd. What is the meaning of real estate?

“Real” means “existing, true” as per the Latin origin from the root “res” meaning “thing”. Some also believe it comes from another root (rex) that means royal as in the past only the royals were landowners. However, as the British don´t use the words real estate, they would rather say “property”, I find it unlikely. But who can know for sure?

According to https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/estate Estate has its origin in Middle English (in the sense ‘state or condition’) and that comes from Old French “estat” which came from Latin root “stare” meaning ‘to stand’.

Thinking of the origins of the words real estate makes total sense to describe a property.

Real Estate Meaning – what do we usually understand?

Or better, many words relate to pictures in our head. For me, if I hear real estate, I think of and nice land with green grass and a fancy house.

Many would define it as land and anything immovable on it, such as buildings. Often, it would include air rights above the land and underground rights below the land.

In the past real estate meant a lot to people. It was their livelihood. That´s where they would live and grow their food, raise livestock etc. In todays modern live things have change a bit. A family no longer need to have a big estate to support themselves. Nevertheless, real estate is still very important for us. Naturally, everybody needs a place to live.
