Casual Articles - Romania on the Rise: Investing in Eastern Europe
How much should you make from a Joint Venture? 10%? 20%? 50%? Should it be of the net or gross profit or off the top? How do you decide? This is an important consideration, especially for people who are used to paying peanuts and those who are used to accepting a few crumbs. Entrepreneurs who understand business and profit are more likely to pay and demand reasonable commissions.For example, when people attend a DollarMakers Joint Venture Broker Bootcamp, I pay the referring Members up to 50% in commissions! My cost of putting an extra chair into a Bootcamp and a few extra cups of coffee and donuts, plus a workbook, is negligible. I can afford to be generous. My DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum Members earn thousands in commissions every month. But if I was selling computer hardware, with a profit of around 6%, I could afford to pay such a generous commission. Large profit margins demand high commissions; real business people understand that. And there are other ways to reciprocate, other than financially – but that’s a subject for another newsletter or the Bootcamp.A realtor
Prices in the downtown area of the city may have all but peaked after years of significant growth but the trend of high growth in a short-time frame has just begun in the area outside of the city limits which is pegged as the new Bucharest suburban district.
Bucharest is inhabited by more then 2.5 million people and that number is expected by many authorities to more then double to over 5 million by 2010 by the rapid development of new housing complexes inside of the city and the expansion of city limits with the introduction of new American-style suburban living there - now available to the
My corporate career, excluding my VA experience, spans some 25 plus years. I've had government office bosses, travel industry bosses, airline bosses, coachline bosses, hotel bosses, engineering bosses, manufacturing bosses, sales and marketing bosses, human resources bosses, small office bosses, large state and country wide business bosses, editing bosses, medical bosses, magazine bosses and probably some others I can't remember. I've experienced a wide range of personalities wearing the Boss hat, and I've come to this conclusion: If your Boss hates you, you're in trouble. If your Boss doesn't understand you, you won't fare much better. Doesn't matter that you’re a Sister Theresa clone, if your Boss doesn't like you, don't expect any favors. What you have to remember is bosses are human, and as with all other humans on the planet, there are going to be those that you cannot get along with no matter how hard you try. Some people are like that. They are very hard to please. You can disregard the fact that they are highly regarded by upper management and have excellent e
In February 2005, I first alerted readers of Escape Artist to the incredible potential latent in the Eastern European country of Romania. Several readers who contacted me purchased land through a realtor that I advised them of in an area outside of the city limits of Bucharest at 40 Euro per square meter. That land today is now fetching an estimated 200 Euro per square meter.
I was cautioned by colleagues to refrain from quoting the above figures as they seem quite sensational. Indeed, they are representative of unique successes and do not represent the average gain to be expected on property held in the Bucharest area for less then one year. However, such gains are possible and it is not uncommon to hear of such success stories occurring from transactions made on the current market.
These exceptional cases serve as an indicator of the general trend of rapid growth in value of raw land in what is known as "the new suburbs of Bucharest."
The price of land has gone up by 60-70% over the past several months, due to the high level of demand on the market triggered by the high profitability of investing in land, a report by CB Richard Ellis (CBRE) shows.
In a previous article for Escape Artist (http://www.escapeartist.com/efam/72/Real_Estate_In_Romania.html), I indicated land as potentially the best investment for the average investor in Romania. It poses the least hassles and headaches and tends to generate the most profit-growth in the shortest time. The verified rate of growth of property values between the time that I made this suggestion to readers and the publication of this article, given further credibility to my speculations. I am not alone in my view; Razvan Camuescu of RHR, a Bucharest property services firm in his interview for the aforementioned recent Irish Times article further comments, "Outside Bucharest we have seen the price for some land double over the course of two months." He adds that investments in apartments in the center of the city no longer necessarily represent a part of a good investment strategy.
Yes, all of this growth could be considered astronomical, daunting, magnificent, maybe even a little scary if not properly managed. This, however, is exactly why Romania has become the next big target of the international investor.
"It is the next big location in this part of the world, with many people looking to get involved here having moved on from Budapest or missed the property train there". "The big guns are already getting involved alongside the private investors." (source The Irish Times, September 2005)
The key to raw land investment in Romania is a) knowing where to invest and b) when and how to sell. Bucharest as the capitol of Romania and soon EU capitol city is the the star attraction of all Romanian land investment opportunities.

Modular office buildings are a practical, modern way to maximize space and delineate limits and boundaries in any work environment. In fact, this has become a prevalent design in millions of office buildings around the world. It is a popular choice for interior offices, clean rooms, manufacturing rooms and is widely used for industrial wall systems. A modular office is sleek with clean lines and works best especially for companies with numerous employees.If you want the modular office look for your building, here are a few tips that could help you:What they areModular office furniture are also known as cubicles and may be purchased piece by piece.

A resume is something that advertises you in front of your future boss; think it as a tool that will enhance your qualities and professional appearance. It is very important to know how to create and use that good tool, what mistakes to avoid when creating one and how to make a good impression.Think about it as a business card, if it’s nice and catchy it will attract the client but if it’s not the client will throw it away; the same thing goes with your resume. You need to add some originality if you want to get noticed.Here are a few tips that will help you have a clean and easy to read resume. When writing about your work experience don’t bore the people who will read the resume with a lot of work history; try to insert only the important jobs if they are a lot and limit yourself to a maximum of 15 years work history.Try to be organized when you are writing your technical knowledge and qualifications; if you write them in an organized way, they will be easy to read and people will spend more time understanding what they mean than figuring out where the sentence end

Raising capital can be a harrowing affair for most of us, but particularly so for small struggling businesses, disadvantaged groups and those belonging to the rural sector. Often many of these people have done the rounds of the banks and traditional lending institutions only to be turned away because they have not been able to meet their very strict lending criteria. Unfortunately a large number of these people never know that there could be a multitude of grants available to them from both federal government and state agencies. Grants are often overlooked as the first place of call, and consequently much time and effort is wasted, not to mention the accompanying emotional stress.Federal government grants total some $400 billion and they are distributed through 1,000 grant making agencies. The amount of money that is available is staggering, to say the least. These figures alone should be enough to encourage anyone who needs to raise finance to at least spend some time on research to see if there is grant money that is available to them. Women in particular have countless avenues op

You have decided that you love firearms so much that you want to open up your own business, right? How to get your federal firearms license may seem like a daunting task, but when you take it step by step, it can be as easy as filling out paperwork at a doctor’s office. Remember that you have a second amendment right to have a firearm but to sell a firearm is a totally different task to embark upon.The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives dictate how to get your federal firearms license. There are certain things that they will and will not require of you, including these:• You must be at least twenty one years old. There is no exception to this rule. You have to be twenty one just to own a gun, why would you think you could sell one at a younger age?• You must have a place to set up a business. This must be an actual building or store where you can sell guns and collect money safely. Your garage will not work and you certainly cannot sell firearms online. Find a place to run your business and then apply.• You cannot be prohibited from using firear

Bucharest is inhabited by more then 2.5 million people and that number is expected by many authorities to more then double to over 5 million by 2010 by the rapid development of new housing complexes inside of the city and the expansion of city limits with the introduction of new American-style suburban living there - now available to the average Bucharest-ian who is experiencing higher earning power coupled with increase access to credit.
Northrop Grumman, the large American construction firm is already in the market constructing new homes along with scores of other European and international building firms of reputation. As leaders in their industry, they are fully convinced that the projections for suburban Bucharest will become a current reality.
The savvy world investor, according to surveys, now identifies Romania as one of the top three investment locations in the world (along with China and Brazil) and the number one opportunity in Europe. Foreign Direct Investment in Romania is at roughly 3.5 billion dollars currently tied only with Czech Republic for the number one spot in Central & Eastern Europe. Decreasing investment rates there and expected investments in Romania will most likely push Romania on top.
Tesco and Walmart have already announced plans to follow in the footsteps of European giant Carefour to enter this thriving market.
Unemployment here is at just 6%, one of the lowest rates in all of Europe. Combined with a low per-head personal debt, more spending cash, and the introduction of credit an amazing new consumer based society is being built.
Statistics show that inflation is low and GDP is high (three times higher in many cases then in Western Europe) in Romania.
The vision of the Bucharest metropolitan area is quickly becoming a reality. Farmland near Bucharest will soon resemble suburban Detroit or Chicago, complete with modern family homes, shopping complexes, and modern highways. This phenomenon has already occurred in some areas outside of the city limits.
2,000 square meters plots of land can now be purchased in the new suburban district of Bucharest for 40,000 Euro (That about $48,000 USD). That' s about $20 per square meter in a city where downtown prime real estate is going for as much as $2,000 a square meter and property in the currently developed suburban region goes for between $150 and $350 a square meter. Between now and the years proceeding the EU ascension of Romania (analyst predict Romania will join in 2007 -2008 and growth will continue at impressive rates up to about 2010) property prices in the new suburbs should increase at least 30% per year.
The key to realizing profit is to buy land in an area where developers are looking to build in a strategic location, where other like-minded investors have also invested in land. This is where a reputable estate agency comes into the picture. As they usually have direct relationships with developers and have a keen understanding of where to buy, they more then earn their 5% or so commissions.
New structures have now been put in place to allow foreign investors to invest in land without formation of private companies (foreign citizens may not own raw land as private individuals) and the process of forming a company for such a purpose is now a relatively expedite
