The development

• Properties originally sold between 130.000€ & 195.000€

Repossessed Properties in Spain – OVER 100% Mortgage Available NOW!

Real Estate in Spain has finally hit rock bottom and banks need to get these distressed properties off their books.  If you thought that owning a property in Spain was just a dream, or beyond your reach; now is the time to begin your property search!  All those people who were waiting for the lowest price.. this is it! Now it comes with incentives as well, so well worth the wait.

Banks are now offering MASSIVE incentives to attract buyers.  They have a portfolio of properties that they NEED TO SELL! The banks are now prepared to offload these properties at substantial discounts and with HIGH MORGAGES.  100% and higher even.  There are some amazing bargains out there; you just need to know where to look.

In the coming weeks we will be releasing our next great product. As a reward to our avid blog followers, we are offering you the chance to get in early.

As we know Southern Spain was one of the first areas to be hit by the crisis. Over the past few years the market has moved very slowly. UNTIL NOW!

Banks are now releasing their developments at 50% below peak market values. Making the Costa Del Sol affordable again and giving the property market the change to grow at a more steady and consistent pace.

Many of my investors have asked me for a property to use more as a ‘Lifestyle Investment’. Something that is a bargain, but they can also use in their free time. We have therefore sourced the following for our clients. I am sure you will agree it is an amazing product and one that will earn clients money in the long term, in the mean time, our clients can sit back and enjoy the Mediterranean sun and sea with their family!

I am sure many will be happy to see the back end of this week, and get started on their weekend? For a Friday I had thought I would provide some easy reading.  Maybe get you excited about planning a city break!

Is anyone headed out for a City Break this weekend? It is part of my New Years Resolution to travel to a new city once a month – so this weekend I had better get planning.  I find these types of trips are not only a great way to let your hair down, but also investigate property markets elsewhere.  Whenever I am in a new city – I always look in the windows, and pop into various real estate agents.  I like to see what’s on offer, how the markets are doing and the various price points for properties.  Real Estate always does well in major city centers.

‘EXPERIENCE OWNERSHIP’ OPTION - IDEAL FOR THE FIRST TIME INVESTOR

We are launching a new concept for purchasers who wish to purchase in the Chateau de la Cazine but do not wish to tie up as many funds. This option is perfect for 1^st time investors and/or lifestyle buyers:

What I had wanted to focus on today was getting in the right mindset for taking control of your finances and your financial future.  It’s a popular themed resolution I hear over and over from friends, family, and colleagues alike – but actioning it is certainly no small feat.  People are constantly asking me what the next ‘big thing’ is and weather now is a good time invest, or should they wait and just keep their money in the bank.  I tell everyone the same thing – any day is a great day to invest if you have the right product that fits YOUR requirements, and there is no such thing as ‘The Next Big Thing’ so stop waiting for it.

HONEYMOON SUITE

We have held back the most luxurious suite in the chateau until now…….I can now provide details of the 3^rd floor honeymoon suite!

The suite has its own private access and takes up the entire 3^rd floor! (it’s 115m2)  It has duel aspect views and comprises of 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (there are his and hers roll top baths in the master bathroom) it also consists of a large lounge and dining area. This suite will provide the most luxurious accommodation in the resort and it has been expertly designed by Matthews Mee to a superb standard and will be the main accommodation focus for wedding functions and VIP guests etc.

We are finally back! A week later than most of our UK and Canadian friends. Being based in our Spanish office at the moment means that due to the Spanish Christmas Day (Fiesta de los Reyes) being on 6^th January, we are a week behind you all!

We are so excited about 2012 and what it will bring. Firstly, we are positive that 2012 will certainly bring resolution to many of the worries over Europe, UK and the Americas.  We know that the future is not going to be easy in the world of finance, but what we do know is that there is still money to be made and after speaking to many of my clients, people are certainly making money!

So what for Global Investment Solutions this year. Well, quite a lot really! Tomorrow’s blog will see the release of an exciting addition to our Chateau de la Cazine project! So I strongly recommend you checking back then!

When Global Investment Solutions release a new project, it is always the best units that sell first.

We now only have 3 units left on the top floor that are located at the front of the building. These prime units look set to sell out by the end of the year. Please enquire as soon as possible to ensure you get your unit reserved!

RESERVE NOW FOR £2,000 and pay nothing until 1st Feb 2012

Well, after our Friday fun.... Let's get back to business!

Following on from Thursday’s topic of Leveraging; here we go!

I was going to follow on about Leverage today – and how to make it work …but its Friday, so I thought that something a bit more lighthearted might be better suited!

Sorry for the delay this week everyone –We have been very busy with our Ramsgate Project.    It has taken me a few extra days to get this blog out – but we are finally here.  Enjoy.

We usually use our blog to advise on investments and to help you save for the future. However, today Global Investment Solutions feel that for one day of the year we should use our blog to remember those who have fought and died to allow us to have a future. And those who are currently serving our countries to enable our children to have a future.

Thank you to all those that serve our countries and thank you to all those that have made the biggest sacrifice to enable us the freedom to live happy lives.

Today’s blog is not about specific investments or investment products; it is just to get you thinking about your financial future and retirement.

I know it’s a subject that I have spent quite a bit of time thinking about and trying to plan for.  Up until recently I had an idea about how our retirement would be, but I had not really filled in all the small details such as where we would live, what will we do, and would we still want to travel extensively?   I guess the only thing I knew was that we would be in a warm climate near the sea.  I find it very hard to imagine what our everyday retired life is going to be like.  What I don’t want to be though is stressed out about money.

Now don’t get me wrong. I understand that money is not everything.  I understand that health, family and friends are much more important than money ever will be, however financial security is a priority for me and my family.  I am sure it is a priority for most as well.  You need money to enjoy your family, friends, and to do the things you want to do to enjoy your retirement years.

Monday morning is upon us again! Therefore, before I start with our first topic of the week, I would like to wish all of our blog followers a productive and successful week!

This morning I rose early to speak with a client in Dubai (Time zones are the only thing that makes working in this industry tough). The client is a hardened property investor and has been with us for many years.

He had spent the weekend looking at our new products and felt drawn to the alternative investments we now offer. However, as with anything new, he had a lot of questions. With this in mind I thought I would start my first blog of the week explaining about alternative investments.

As our followers know, we like to post great advice and keep you posted on the products out there that can help you beat bank interest rates and get your money working for you in these tough economic times.

However......

It is Friday, here in our Spanish office we are looking at rainy skies. I have just spoken to our London office and they are also looking at rainy skies.... So I thought ‘Let’s brighten our day with a bit of fun for a Friday!’

First and foremost – let me say I have nothing against the USA.  It’s a great place.

I have friends and family there, whom I love to visit, and there are also some very cool things to do and neat places to visit in the USA.  What I don’t think the USA is – is a great place to invest.  Please - Let me explain.

The great news is that you can still achieve this kind on return from your savings AND the returns are guaranteed and insured!

I love Sundays. The office is shut, I get my one lie in for the week. My family rises and I take a stroll to pick up the Sunday papers (Yes, I have resisted the pull of reading the news on an I-pad.... I still like to feel paper between my fingers!).

When my young son settles down for a nap in the morning, my partner (both business and personal) and I sit and read the news and financial/business pages, it is our few hours of peaceful bliss!

A property that exudes class and sophistication, with an affordable price tag!

In the current economic climate, many people will tell you NOW is the time to BUY or it’s a BUYERS market!

This is especially true in the luxury end of the scale. Many people are now downsizing and looking to cash in their assets for retirement and are desperate to sell!
