How My House Project Helped Me to Escape the COVID Insanity

While social distancing is strongly encouraged—and you should stay home if you can—you have the time of your life. Or haven’t you?

Articles about how wonderful this time at home is, are popping up like mushrooms in autumn. You hear how you can find new passions and hobbies like painting, reading, baking, cooking etc. It all sounds really lovely, just like great holidays at home. How cool is that!

Expectation vs Reality

Reality sometimes paints a very different picture. While others become master chefs, you might not even have any appetite. Or while others are proud how they have parties in zoom with family and friends you may just wish to be left alone finding this peace you so desperately long for. Seeing all this happy people at home made me wonder, why is it so damn hard for me?

Although I would generally consider myself mentally healthy with a stable family life, I found the new situation very challenging. This was for many different reasons. And that’s it really. Everybody of us is different and copes with this new situation during COVID in a different way.

Keep Yourself Busy with the Right Thing for YOU

One factor for me was that I had not much to do at home where I could really find my inner peace. Being at home with all the family all the time can get on your nerves a little, especially if you weren’t used to it. This is even worst if you have no space to escape to. For example, if you have just one bedroom—of course shared with your spouse—that functions also as office for both of you.

What saved me was something I noticed even before the COVID. It has to do with retired men in my region who worked in construction. Strangely enough, after they retired, they keep seeking work for themselves. They even offer their services at a very low price. I could never understand why—after a life of hard labour—you still want to work more. But now I do.

I have a thing in common with those retired men. I love to work and I always enjoyed working with my hands. Working in construction gives me the feeling that I create something lasting. Also, physical activity is proven to be very beneficial for your mental health.

Physical Activity Is Good for Your Mental Health

When you hear “Physical Activity” the first thing that comes to mind is doing some sport—working out in a gym. But working in construction gives a fair amount of exercise too. Fact is, working hard makes me happy. This gave me an idea. 

My House Project

Fortunately, I live in an area with a number of uninhabited run-down houses in the neighbourhood. Therefore, it was easy to find a cheap house for sale. I was able to buy one for me that I can renovate now in my own time, all by myself. Not only is this incredible rewarding but I can also go there whenever I need some alone time. It has given me a completely new feeling of freedom—something I lost during the COVID.

My house project also helped me to learn lots of new things. Before doing something fresh in the house I always watch some “How to” movies on YouTube. It’s incredible how creative people are. This is definitely contagious.

Not Only a Personal Achievement

My House Project hasn’t gone unnoticed in the neighbourhood. I got a lot of positive feedback from the neighbours. As much as my house project has benefited me personally in this critical time, I’m still looking forward to profit from it financially. Once finished I’m sure I can sell it for a good price.

More Sales – Real Estate Turkey COVID-19

Turkey seems like a good investment for real estate as it is a country where the property and construction sector is very dynamic. Despite the COVID-19 situation we have seen an increase in people looking for houses and apartments for sale in Turkey. This is a good sign.

Seeing that, we made some further investigation on this topic.

Advantages for Foreigners to buying Real Estate in Turkey

Not only is Turkey famous for its breathtaking beaches, outstanding hospitality, yummy foods, and fantastic weather but it comes with a whole bunch of other advantages. If you buy a house in Turkey for at least 250 thousand dollars as a foreigner you and your family will have the right to Turkish citizenship within six months This means, you can do both: make a lucrative investment and become Turkish citizen by purchasing real estate in Turkey. But what really hit many by surprise was the excellent response to the pandemic. For sure this had a huge impact on the positive development regarding the property market.

Real Estate Turkey COVID-19

I read a few articles about how well Turkey handled the COVID-19 crisis. Some measures have proven especially successful with foreign investors who could still enter the country. Starting with a full health insurance for travellers to cover medical costs in case of COVID-19 infection for as little as 25$ up to a web application where you easily can apply for all papers needed when making a property purchase. This makes it easier than ever to travel and shop around for some good real estate in the sun.

Web Tapu

First of all, TAPU is a document confirming the right of ownership to the attained real estate in Turkey. It confirms the transaction and only after it is received you are recognized as the full owner of the Turkish property.

Web Tapu basically means land registry on the web. Here you can apply online for many procedures needed to buy a real estate. This is the best answer to any possible Real Estate Turkey COVID-19 problem.

In the Web Tapu Guide it reads:

“It is now implemented as an electronic system allowing the foreigners, who have a foreigner ID no, to manage their real estate in electronic environment without having to physically visit the directorate of land registry and to apply online for 46 different land registry procedures, such as sale, mortgage and transfer, to send information and documentation necessary for the procedures in safe online environment, to verify their documentation and to authorize third persons or real estate agents for these purposes. Web tapu System will very soon be available in 6 different languages (English, German, Russian, Arabic, French and Spanish). “

How Homes will change after COVID-19

Homes will change due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We can say this because every pandemic in the past had an impact on our way of living and resulting in a change of the traditional layout of homes.

In this pandemic therefore it is worth to consider how home layouts might change in the future – especially if you are planning to build, renovate or buy a house.

How pandemics have changed house layouts in the past? How pandemics lead to improved living conditions? Let’s look at a few examples.

How homes changed after pandemics

Cholera

Did you know that the Planning for Central Park began in the immediate aftermath of New York’s second cholera outbreak? Frederick Law Olmsted whose first child had died of cholera, was one of its landscape architects. In his writings he often highlights the importance of large open places to allow individuals to breath fresh air, enjoy the sunlight, and in his writings we can read how the air could be ‘disinfected’ by the sun and foliage of the trees. He went on to design more than 100 public parks and recreation grounds all across the US.

The cholera outbreak had an impact in many cities all around the world, especially in the area of developing better sewage systems. By doing so, having an indoor toilet became possible for many households. Yes, you read correctly, the bathroom as we know it today is a fairly recent addition to the traditional home layout.

Tuberculosis

Although Tuberculosis has existed since ancient times it caused widespread public fear in the 19th and early 20th centuries as the illness became common among the city’s poor populations. Many sick people were sent to sanatoriums where – beside a lot of rest, high altitude, and good nutrition – the biggest emphasis was put on a lot of fresh air. Some believe that even modern architecture was inspired by the 20th century obsession with Tuberculosis as the spaces of the sanatorium gave rise to the clean, sleek shapes of modern buildings with big windows for fresh air and sunlight.

Spanish Flu

In the 1918 influenza pandemic the great importance of sunlight and fresh air was also identified. That was the reason why radiator heating became popular in cities after the 1918 pandemic. Especially those that overheat! A lot of emphasis was put on sufficient ventilation to battle disease and this pushed engineers to design steam heating systems – some of them still overheat apartments today – so anybody would still open their windows even on a freezing cold winter day. 

Covid-19

The conclusions we can take from all of the above is that we need to live in a space that is not too big – so we are able to clean it quickly, easy and regularly – at the same time we need sunlight and as much fresh air as possible.

At the same time, we need more space to be able to have a bigger distance between people and to allow enough private space for each individual. Especially if you have children, they need space to play and jump around in case they are not able to go out anymore. A big backyard scores big these days.

How homes will change – What we have seen so far

So far, we can see that buyers look for bigger as well as smaller houses – depending on if they are single people or families. Also, we can see a jump in self-sufficient living – at least partially. People lean more and more in the direction to became a bit less dependent by growing some food in their balconies and backyards, installing solar panels or digging their own well if they can.

Unfortunately, the covid-19 pandemic has complicated our life’s and even traumatised some of us. But it is also a lesson for us to learn how we can improve our way of living. It is thrilling to watch new ways and inventions people come up with to tackle this challenge.

Buy and Sell Digital Property

That’s right, not all properties are made of bricks and mortar, these days, properties can be made with zeros and ones as well.

In many ways digital property is just like real estate, that’s why some even call it digital real estate. You can buy or sell it just like a house a flat or land.

In the light of the pandemic, digital property has skyrocketed in popularity – and it makes perfect sense. With many people either out of work or working from home having an online business seems the obvious solution. But what exactly is digital property and how can you earn money with it?

What is Digital Property

Digital property basically includes all sorts of data– anything you could have in a digital format. Data are the files that are saved on and used by computers – such as text files, pictures, audio files, movies…etc. In most cases those files are saved remotely and accessed over the Internet. Some examples of digital property are: websites, blogs or YouTube channels.

In this article we will focus on digital property that – similar to real property – can generate income for you.

How digital property is generating income

There are many different ways to earn money with your online business. The most common and easiest ways is to earn money from ads that are displayed on your website, blog or YouTube channel. In this case you would allow a third party to display ads on your website, blog or in between movies that you have in your YouTube channel. Usually you will be paid every time a visitor clicks on these ads.

It is very easy to apply for it, but some advertiser would only agree to display ads once your online business has a certain “popularity” or better if it has more than a specific number of visitors per month. The most popular “Pay Per Click” Advertising is through Google AdSense.

Other ways of monetizing your website/blog/channel would be the following.

Affiliate marketing/links

You recommend a service or product to your audience and provide a link where they can purchase it. Once they do so you get a share of the sale.

Sell your own product, ad space or service

Of course, you can sell advertising space directly to brands if you like. Or you could have your own online shop or sell a digital product… there are many possibilities.

Flip your website

You can create an income generating website and then sell it.

How to get a digital property

There are two ways to get your hands on a digital property: you either create it yourself (maybe with some help of a programmer, web designer or a nerdy friend) or you can buy it.

There are great marketplaces out there where you can snoop around to find a good deal.

The value of an online businesses has its own way to be calculated. Depending on the monthly income, age and how stable the income is, as well as how many visitors you have. The average monthly income will be multiplied by 12, 24 or maybe even 36. Best is to leave this to the experts who can also verify the information given by the seller. This again can be compared to buying or selling real estate. There are agents out there that will guide you through the entire buying/selling digital property process.

These agents have the means to verify if all the numbers ad up and if the digital property you are interested in is genuinely what is being advertised. They will also help you to pick the right digital property within your budget, expertise and amount of time you can dedicate to it.

From our own experience, one of the best digital property Marketplaces out there is Trustiu – if you want to buy or sell a website, blog or YouTube channel this is a great place to start. They have a dedicated team of experts ready to help you buy or sell your digital property.

Conclusion

Earning money with your own online business is a great way to support yourself from the comfort of your own home. It is not as difficult as it seems – anyone can do it.

Essential tips on how to purchase a home

Looking for a new home is exciting, but sometimes, when you go out in the hope of finding your next big home, you are shown nothing but pigeonholes with zero to no amenities. You might think that the patch leading to your perfect home is full of rocks and holes. But in reality, its far from true. Finding your perfect home is easy if you keep the following points in mind.

In this article, we have made a list of points that will help you find your perfect home so that you can avoid making expensive mistakes:

Know your budget

You should start the process of looking for a new home by evaluating your bank accounts, cash flow, assets and liabilities. The most common mistake made by people is that they set their eyes of a house that is beyond their budget. Yes, you can apply for home loan to cover the difference, but you also have to pay the high EMIs that come with the loan. This will throw your budget out of the window.

Know your loan amount eligibility

You can check how much loan amount you are eligible for in few simple steps using home loan calculator. Though the amount presented is only the estimate and not the final word from a financial institution. To get the proper estimate, you need to contact your bank before making any final deal.

There is a possibility that the difference between the estimate and what you get is quite significant. Even a slight difference can affect your budget. So, make sure you know the amount of loan approved by your bank before you make your final budget.

What about the other costs?

People think that, once they purchased the property, they are done with all the expenses. But that is not true, as soon you make the final payment, you have to take care of EMI, spend money on personalization and maintenance, pay utilities bills and more. Plus, you might need to buy new furniture and appliances as well.

Be open to change

Finding a home exactly like you dreamt of is next to impossible. For example, you want a big garden and big parking space. but when you visit the property, you find that the house only has parking space but no garden. The house has all other things that is perfect for your family. So, it is best to keep an open mind, otherwise you will miss out the deal if you are too picky.

Don’t get carried away

People often overspend when they move in to a new home just to personalize it. You don’t have to spend extra money if you look for a house that is already furnished. This way you will be able to save a lot of money that will help you in paying off the loan.

See-through the drama

Builders offer cosmetic changes to changes the look of the house, obviously, for extra money. These changes do make your house look more attractive, but the main question is, do all these changes are worth it?

If you survey the market, you will be able to find much cheaper stuff. So, why pay the premium cost when you can find the same thing at half the price.

Pick and choose

Keeping an open mind doesn’t mean you have to make bad decisions. If you have a big family, you need a house that has 3-4 bedrooms. You don’t want to feel cramped in your own house just because you wanted to save few dollars.

Make the list of things that you can and cannot sacrifice while looking at home.

Keep an eye out

Builders usually promises to finish work early, but that is far from truth. They take ages to complete a project. If you have made the payment for the house, make sure you contact the builder regularly and visit the property to see the progress of the project. If you sense something is not right, contact the local authorities immediately to ensure your money is safe.

If you want to buy a constructed property, make sure you conduct a proper survey. For example, if you are looking for homes for sale in centennial hills Los vegas, make sure you check single aspect before you make any payment.

Find your own agent

It is important that you hire an agent that knows all the secrets of the property you are interested in. You will have to pay a fee to the agent, but in return you will get guidance that will be true.

Opportunity Costs (rent vs. buy)

Everything regarding the Industry of real estate is rising, especially home prices and interest rates. But the real question that you must ask yourself is that which would be better for you, to rent or buy your next property? There are different aspects that you need to put into consideration if it is better to rent or buy. One of the most important factors would be how long are you planning to stay in that specific property, how high is your credit score and income now? How about we take a look at some of the advantages and disadvantages to this very common question.

BUYING

Regardless of what you might hear, there are many benefits to home ownership. Always put into consideration that the value of your home can increase through time which makes it a proper investment regardless if you are planning to keep the property or not in the long run. To most people, having a home to yourself and not having to deal with a landlord is a blessing of its own. You can choose to renovate and change up your own house in your own way without having to think about when the contract might finish or not. The disadvantages of buying your own property is knowing enough that you are responsible for all that needs to be repaired and that is not an easy thing to keep in mind so you will be watching out for everything and being alert knowing your next fall can be costly to the property. When purchasing a house you might require a chunk for the down payment to be paid which would make it harder for you to qualify for any kind of insurance for the mortgage or even property taxes.

RENTING

Renting makes life easier and much more sense for many people. For example, you can be living alone in a nice area where the home prices are too high for your budget so it would be better off renting a one-bedroom location that is the logical choice for that person obviously not including his/her occupation and preferences.

The best advantages of renting is knowing that the repairs are not on you but rather part of the deal and knowing that it would be easy to relocate if there are any problems to arise. But the disadvantages of renting are actually more annoying than you think because it’s like you are living in someone else’s home knowing that you can’t make any long-term adjustments and at the same time you earn no return on your payments as monthly rates are rapidly increasing. Most people don’t have this knowledge but renting doesn’t help with your credit score either and knowing that the homeowner is just renting the place to others, they aren’t so motivated to make changes to the house unless it’s necessary.

To most people who have the money to afford buying a house, they know in the long run that buying their home will become an investment and that it would be cheaper to purchase the home now rather than renting and sending away rent money that you can be using elsewhere productively. But to others who cannot afford buying a house at the moment, renting to them would obviously be cheaper than purchasing anything at the moment. Just put into consideration which one might fit your lifestyle the best such as:

RENTING WOULD BE BEST IF:

  • Planning to live in the same area for less than two years
  • Planning to maintain flexibility and mobility
  • Working on repairing past credit history
  • Planning to save money for a proper down payment

BUYING WOULD BE BEST IF:

  • Planning to live in the same area for more than two years
  • Wanting to build investment equity through time
  • Looking for better ways for tax deduction
  • Having the feeling of stability

The real answer to this question of having to buy or rent is actually quite easier than you can imagine. It comes down to five questions that you need to ask yourself for making such a difficult decision which are:

  • The time that you plan to stay in the future home?
  • Do you want something to be stable or something to remain flexible?
  • What can you afford and what does your budget help with?
  • Can you currently afford to be responsible for home repairs if you plan to purchase the house?
  • What is your career path and what are your family goals?

But when it comes to rental properties you need to remember that it requires a security deposit just in case of damages and ability to assure the person renting won’t bail under any circumstances without having to pay upfront as well. Just put into consideration about the location of property as well as the location of your workspace or schools if children are involved.

Conclusion

In conclusion, try to consider all the places that you have chosen to rent in the past, For each place that you have lived, try to make a list of the things that you didn’t really enjoy about the place or the service of the landlord so that you won’t have to put up with the same issues again. Although there are some renters who actually don’t have to ask and do what they need to regardless if they are renting long-term or short-term because some people just can’t handle staying in a place and having to wait for someone else to change it for them. But when you have your own place and you are not renting, then obviously you can do what you want when you want without having to put up with anyone or dealing with anyone about your own personal matters in the household.

5 simple ways to invest in real estate

Investment is not an easy way to do with 100% surety whether you would profit. However, if you plan to invest in real estate, it could be a great way to make money with less amount. Even if you are lack money, you can simply take loans and pay them off on installments. Real estate investing is beneficial if it is being invested in the right way. Nevertheless, if you are deciding to invest in real estate for the first time, yet you are confused about where and how to invest in this business, there are plenty of ways to invest in real estate and get profited.

I would let you know about these tactics and approaches through which you can build enough money. When you start investing in real estate, it helps in expanding your investment portfolio and can be a suitable means of earning enough. Moreover, a decent investment in real estate grants you tax benefits through devaluation, which may help you increase your returns. Thus, you are requested to stay here and start your business with low investment though get high profit.

1.      Purchase a leasing property

Buying a rental property is the excellent and most common option to invest in real estate and build money. You can purchase any real estate property, residential or commercial property to lease to renters and earn the lease income every month. This way is beneficial in several manners; you have the authority to get your renters out, or you may use the property for your personal use. Anyhow, you would get a handsome amount of income every month regularly. On the other hand, where there are such benefits, owning a rental property may cause some downfalls as follow.

  • When you invest in real estate through renting properties, you may get less income from the renter.
  • Besides, obtaining a rental property can be a time-consuming task since it is difficult to find an ideal tenant.
  • When you buy your first property to lease it, it could be costly for you. Since this is your first investment, you could get further by keeping the profit once you bought your first property.

Warning!

Mortgage discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, or marital status is illegal. If you find such things happening with anyone, one can report a complaint against that person.

2.      Flip a property

Flipping property is another approach to invest in real estate. It uses the term fix and flips the house, which means that you purchase a house for your personal use and renovate it. Once you discover that the house is increasing its worth, you may sell it out at a decent rate. However, the flipping house is a task that requires much patience and endurance because it takes time to get a suitable client who would buy the renovated house in a great amount. 

Remember, in some places it is necessary to have a real estate license, even though you can get one online – click here for more information.

Nonetheless, there are a few things that you need to bear in mind while flipping a house.

  • Try not to waste your time by focusing on little details while lipping a house. In the case of a flipping house, you should consume your time watchfully and make a schedule about how much time would you give in renovating the house. Also, focus more on the selling of the house, since it is an essential part of house flipping.
  • When you buy a property for flipping, you should watch your budget out. Try to buy a less expensive house that needs fewer renovation to save your maximum money. However, when it comes to the selling of the house, you should exceed 70% of the cost of what you expect; otherwise, you would be in loss.
  • While renovating the house, you must know the market scope; what trends and styles are in. Remember, if you renovate the house in a trendy way, it will increase the worth of the house.

3.      Rent out a part of existing property

This strategy does not need much investment; you can invest your own home where you are living already. If you decide to leave your house, however, don’t want to sell it out, you can lease your whole house and get income every month. On the other hand, if you live in a house and one portion is empty, upper or lower floor, you can give that part on rent and earn every month. This approach of real estate investment can be beneficial in numerous ways.

  • You can watch your renters closely about their living styles in your home.
  • You don’t need to visit every month for rent (if you rent out a far distant house).
  • No investment for spare property is needed.

4.      Purchase REITs

If you do not want to invest in real estate traditionally, you can choose to invest in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). In this approach, you only need to invest money and not be required to purchase or sell the property. When you invest in any organization, it is their concern or purchase and sale property. This corporation has to pay you 90% of the profit while avoiding paying business income tax and divide the money amongst all the investors. Nevertheless, REITs are a substantial investment for the stock market and are perfect for those who want a regular income.

Notification:

You are not applicable to invest in REITs if you are accompanying Traditional Rental Real Estate.

5.      Use real estate online platforms

You use some online real estate investment platforms to invest in this business if you are looking for a partner. It is usually used for investing in large commercial or residential properties. You can visit numerous online real estate platforms and link with the investors seeking partners for financial investment in real estate. If you find a decent partner with which u think you can associate, can contact and start a business. However, you need to pay the fee of using a certain online platform. This approach is beneficial in terrestrial divergence, and the profit would be divided according to the number of partners.

Upshot 

These were five simple ways to invest in real estate business; although, the most common and organic ways to earn a high profit are the first two. Besides, you can adopt multiple approaches to invest in real estate. Thus there is no rule to pick only one strategy; this thing would provide you higher profit. For instance, you can purchase multiple REITs and, at the same time, rent out your house for regular incomes. Anyhow, you invest in real estate through any means, there is all the profit you would get. So, initiate your real setae business and plan for a world tour.
