Dubai was only a small town back in the early 20th century when the first inroads of the industrial revolution began to seep towards the Middle East. It

was an important trade route between India and the Western hemisphere until that time. The oil
exploration of the 1960s and the subsequent switch over to the free trade economy saw this key Arabian state grow into a trade and commerce hub in the later course. A large number of expatriates started to descend on its soil when this trend first began to
unfold in the 60s.

This obviously had a profound impact on the cultural scenario of this emirate. The modern Dubai portrays a cosmopolitan outlook these days, with several hundred thousand expatriates and tourists dotting throughout its landscape. The city’s taste for advanced infrastructure and high-end living can be measured from its malls, hotels, Dubai apartments and various
other developments. Some of its known landmarks, like Burj Al Arab, Burj Dubai, Jumeirah Emirate Towers and Oasis Beach Tower, are world renowned.

Dubai’s all-round growth required its housing to grow as well, since a very large number of expatriates were expecting to be accommodated. And it was not only the number, but also the quality of accommodation, which mattered in this case. Today’s Dubai carries a major high-end clientele base for its various markets. The very concept of Palm Islands across Dubai’s seashore was conceived to fulfill this clientele’s needs. Many developments, which sought to build high-end Dubai
apartments, were sanctioned by the planners in the subsequent years.

One of these projects, the Oasis Beach Tower, needs special mention in that context. Built under the banner of Al Fattan Marine Towers, this tower has got a twin in Al Fattan Tower. Both the Al Fattan Tower and the Oasis Beach Tower measure 245m (804ft) in height, thus becoming the seventh tallest buildings in Dubai. The tower is located on the famous Jumeirah Beach with an access to the Oasis Beach Club. It provides 2, 3 and 4-bedroom luxury apartments both for rentals and purchase. Those living in this building can have a panoramic view of the Jumeirah beach and The Palm. These apartments are fairly spacious and
tastefully decorated from their interiors.

The level of services offered by Dubai apartments is exceptional. Perhaps they are the best dwellings to live in at the present time, anywhere on this earth.
They have a direct access to the services of the Oasis Beach Hotel and it makes their clientele more comfortable. The land on which the Oasis Beach Tower was built upon is located inside the Dubai Marina, the world’s largest man-made marina. Those willing to enjoy the stay at Oasis Beach Tower should expect therefore, to watch buildings popping up all over the place. Many new towers are being built around in this area; hence some disturbance may be expected to continue for some more time. However, this won’t cause any negative impact on the occupancy, if the overwhelming response by those who have already stayed there had to be taken into account.

An important question to ask yourself is whether you live to work or work to live.

In my case, I fall quite neatly into the second category.

I do enjoy my work, but the primary reason that of working is to fund my lifestyle. Ultimately, until you reach an income that allows you to be carefree about your finances, working is partly about obtaining money. Despite this reality, there are steps you can take to elevate your financial position.

The first and foremost step is to consider your attitude towards money. Do you see money as the answer to your troubles or do you see it as societies method for control? Ultimately, the way you view money will have an effect on your finances.

If you view money as the key to your happiness you will never be satisfied with your financial situation. It is the same for those who see money as the root of the world’s evil. By viewing money as means of achieving your goals and dreams you will develop a healthy attitude towards money.

Setting goals for yourself will help clarify what you want out of life. This may be an intimidating task but it is a vital step. Essentially this will allow you to establish what income is necessary for you to achieve your goals.

It is crucial that you set realistic and attainable targets. Setting unreasonable goals will lead to disappointment when you fail. Taking this into account, it is also important that you set challenging goals. This ensures a feeling of self accomplishment so ensure that you’re not selling yourself too short.

Learning is the key to achieving your goals. Learning breeds experience, information and new ways of thinking. By refusing to learn the unknown, you are actively allowing others to step up and take over your position. Your experience and knowledge is becoming less important as each day goes by. In order to earn more you must increase your knowledge bank. Gaining new skills and experience will make you viewed highly as valuable employee. In turn, this will increase your salary potential.

After taking action to become considered a valued employee in your industry, you must look at your current and future employment situation. Are you likely to remain stagnant in your employment position or is there the possibility for a promotion in your company. If there is no possibility of advancement, you may have to seek opportunities elsewhere.

If you decide to stay with your current employer, your next step is to ask for a raise. Although a daunting task, you are only limiting your potential by settling for what you are currently earning. The potential rejection is enough to make even the most confident employee nervous. To combat this fear, make yourself knowledgeable on how your company deals with raises. If yearly salary increases exist, then record your achievements. This gives your employer evidence as to why a raise is deserved. It is important to be fully prepared and to calmly communicate your requests. Discuss your wants and why you deserve them. Researching into what others in your industry or profession are earning will give you something to compare your salary with. It will give you an idea of what you should be getting paid. The negotiation process will be easier once your preparation has increased your confidence levels. It is important not to threaten resignation as this will dampen your chances of a raise and affect your future career.

Remember that raise requests are predicted by most employers. If it is deserved, then most employers will expect for you to request a raise.

It may be time to start looking at positions elsewhere if your deserved raise is rejected. A company’s budgeting restraints may have affected your raise request as apposed to your workplace performance. If this is the case, start to job search but make sure that you leave your current position on first-rate terms.

FHA mortgage loans provide many options to the homebuyer. One of those options is the down payment assistance program. FHA gifts make this loan very attainable

for buyers with little cash. Actually, even with out the gift or grant programs a buyer can usually get an FHA loan with as little as a 3% contribution. These are moneys applied to closing costs or used for the down payment. It is a little more confusing than conventional loans but the interest rate is as good or better so it is definitely worth it.

Gifts for both the down payment and the closing expenses may come from acceptable sources such as: family member, close friend, borrower’s employer or labor union, a charitable institution, or a governmental agency or public entity that has a FHA accepted down payment assistance program.

All of the funds for down payment and all closing expenses may come from an acceptable gift or grant program. These funds must be documented to show that no repayment is expected and the gift donor will not place a lien on the subject property. Gifts may not be used to meet the borrower’s required 3 months PITI reserves requirement for 3 and 4 unit purchases.

Gifts must not be used to increase a borrower’s assets in order to show reserves remaining after closing that would alter the DU or LP findings from a Refer or Ineligible status to an Approve Eligible or Accept status. The underwriter must review the findings to determine if any gift amount is considered in the reserves reviewed by the system. The gift amount must be deducted from the reserves shown and the loan must be run through the system again to provide the real picture of the borrower’s assets and obtain a clear to close approval.

A gift letter is required. The letter must state there is no repayment required and that no gift donor is tied to the loan transaction.

The transfer of funds from the gift donor to the borrower is required. A lender must document the transfer of funds from the donor’s account to the borrower’s bank account by obtaining a copy of the canceled check or other satisfactory withdrawal document that shows the gift is leaving the donor’s account and is being deposited into the borrower’s account. If the gift amount is being received at the closing, a certified check from the donor and a copy of the doner’s withdrawal receipt from the bank account is required. The closing agent must make copies of these documents to forward to the lender with the closing package.

If the donor borrowed funds for the gift, the donor must provide acceptable documentation that the funds were not borrowed from a party to the transaction or the mortgage lender. Cash-on-hand from the donor is not acceptable.

Other benefits with an FHA mortgage include: low interest rates, forgiving about minor past credit problems, and they have a “no-qualifying” stream-line refinance. As you can see everyone should consider an FHA loan.

It can be quite nerve racking when the bill collectors are calling and sending demand notices, however you can handle it. There are ways you can protect

yourself and also ways to properly handle your debt collectors.

There is a bill meant to help individuals deal with aggressive debt collectors. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is a guideline that must be followed when a debt collector is attempting to collect payment on a debt. It is prohibited by law for a collector to call your home before 8 a.m. and after 9 p.m.. They are prohibited from disturbing you with calls after you have insisted they do so, neither can they threaten to seize your salary. For more information go to => www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fdcpa/fdcpact.htm#801.

If you have an answering machine, you can screen your phone calls before you answer them. Adding anonymous call blocking to your phone line can also help from receiving the unwanted collection calls. Well, at least from having to talk with the person on the other end. However, if you decide to answer the phone you can request that the collector no longer call you. Once you have stated to them that you don’t want any further phone calls, legally they have to stop the phone calls to you.

Before you take some of the more drastic measures, you should consider making arrangements with the company to pay off the debt. In many cases, the collector is authorized to reduce the amount owed in order to collect the money. Usually, if you make payment arrangements on the debt, the collection calls from that company will stop.

Do try to keep a record of calls that take place between the collectors and yourself. If you agree to any form of payment, it should be recorded on paper and it should bear both your name as well as the other party’s name. Try your best to keep the agreement you have made, if you are unable to keep it notify the company as soon as possible. If you have indicated that the collector cease calling you, you can record any further calls made to you by them. Be sure you alert them to the fact that the calls are being recorded. It is usually helpful in reducing the number of disturbing calls.

In most cases, you will be able to negotiate the amount of money you will be paying off. It is common for the agency to get a small cut of the amount they can successfully retrieve. Thus, for many debt collectors, they are willing to collect smaller amounts to offset their losses. Any amount of money is better than nothing.

If you agree to a smaller payment, be sure to request that there should be no further negative marks placed on your credit report. Also, be instant that they promptly report the payments made as well as adjusting the amount that is owed on your credit report.

When you have made the first payment, an agreement should be reached. The contract should reflect the amount owed as well as the specific terms of agreement. Keep your first payment to a minimum as far as possible. This will insure that they will keep their end of the agreement and hold true to the contract.

The number of IRS audits increased in 2007. See my recent article “IRS Ramps Up Audits” to read more about what is causing this increase and who is targeted.

What can you do to be prepared?

#1 Build a defense for your rental real estate losses.

While the IRS has not specifically targeted returns that deduct rental real estate losses, if you are selected for audit, your rental real estate losses will be questioned. If you claimed real estate professional status, the IRS will ask you to prove that you qualify. If you claimed the $25,000 loss exception, you will be asked to prove that you meet the “active” threshold.

Here’s what you can do:

First, make sure you clearly understand the rules for taking your rental real estate losses. You can deduct rental real estate losses to reduce you taxes but the rules are very specific. Knowing these rules inside and out will increase your chances that your audit will result in no adjustments to your rental real estate losses.

Second, document your real estate activities. Proper documentation is the number one defense you have. The IRS wants to see not only the number of hours but also the activity you were doing and for which of your properties or businesses. Need help? I’m here to help you!

#2 Clean Up Your S Corporation

The number of S corporation audits jumped in 2007. The IRS is looking at specific items; here are a few of those items you need to be aware of:

- Your salary -
How much did you receive as salary and when did you receive it? As an owner, if your salary is too little, you could be in trouble. But from a tax planning standpoint, if your salary is too much you will be overpaying your taxes! There is a balancing point to master here.
The timing of when you receive your salary is important as well. Big lump sum payments made once or twice don’t look like salary and could be drawn into question.

- Your distributions -
How much did you receive as distributions and when did you receive them? Smaller distribution amounts that are paid more frequently than quarterly don’t look like distributions. These amounts will be scrutinized!

Here’s what you can do:

Your #1 defense is documentation. How did you come up with your salary amount and your distribution amount? How did you determine when you would pay your salary and when distributions would be made? Once you have this documented, you need to make sure what your S corporation is paying is reasonable. So, take another look at your salary and distributions and ask yourself if it makes sense for a business to pay these amounts.

Not sure what your S corporation should be doing? Then you are in the majority, that’s why the IRS is having a field day with these audits! I can help walk you through the exact steps you need to take to determine your salary amount, your distribution amount and how to document both so you are ready for an IRS audit.

#3 Support Your Expenses

There are certain expenses the IRS will always look at in an audit. These expenses are travel, meals and entertainment.

The #1 thing you can do is to make sure you can support these expenses. The IRS will want to see the who, what, when, where and why of each of these expenses. Who was there, what was the business purpose, when was it, where was it and why was this an ordinary or necessary expense for your business.

Not sure if your documentation will pass an IRS audit? I can help!

By now, you realize the key to surviving an audit without any adjustments is proper documentation. If you are among the many who do not document as you should, it’s not too late! Even if your documentation has not been ideal in the past, make a new start right now! Understand what you need to document and then on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, make sure your documentation for that day, week or monthly is in order. Once you have the hang of it, go back and start to document what you didn’t in the past. Remember, the IRS can audit a return 3 years after it has been filed (and 6 years if the tax return filed was considerably incorrect).

3) Special offers — if you use online coupons a lot, you will run across a few which really are great. These coupons may offer you anything from a bigger discount to free stuff.

The United States Department of Veterans Affairs provides a loan guarantee service to honorably discharged veterans of the United States military. Essentially,

any serviceman or their surviving spouse is eligible for 100% financing without a down payment or mortgage insurance or 90% refinancing on an existing home.

How exactly does a VA loan work?

The VA loan isn’t issued by Veterans Affairs. Instead, the loans are issued by private lenders like banks and mortgage companies, but insured by VA. This means that if you default on your loan, Veterans Affairs will guarantee or secure it. This often translates to lower down payment requirements and eligible interest rates.

What else does the VA loan program do?

The Veterans Affairs loan program also provides pre-purchase counseling. VA officers will sit down with you and your families and go through the process of purchasing and owning a home, obtaining financing and basically understanding the home ownership process.

Does entitlement to a VA loan guarantee a mortgage?

Unfortunately, no it doesn’t. Veterans Affairs can’t force a lender to issue you a home loan, but it can help to make you a more attractive recipient. You still must meet basic credit and income requirements. But if a lender is concerned, for example, about a veteran’s poor credit history, the loan can still be denied or offered at a higher interest rate.

How much are veterans entitled to under the VA loans program?

The bare-bones, basic entitlement is $36,000, but this varies depending on region, median home prices and the amount required. While the amount changes yearly, the limit for the continental U.S. in 2008 was $417,000. Consequently, a qualified veteran could obtain a no down-payment mortgage for an amount up to $417,000.

What do I need to get a VA loan?

You need a Certificate of Eligibility. You can get one either from your lender or the Department of Veterans Affairs. Most recent veterans’ information is stored in an online database known as ACE (Automated Certificate of Eligibility), so lenders can access this database to find out if a borrower has a certificate.

How do I get a VA loan?

First you need to select a home and sign a purchase contract that’s dependant on you receiving a VA home loan. Next, you should choose a lender and complete a loan application with your Certificate of Eligibility. The lender will then contact Veterans Affairs to assign an appraiser to determine the market value of the home.

Once a Certificate of Reasonable Value has been issued on the home, your lender will let you know that you’ve been approved for your loan. At that time, you’ll attend the closing where the lender or its attorney will explain the terms of the loan to you, and you will sign the loan agreement. After the signing, the loan is sent to Veterans Affairs for guaranty, at which point your Certificate of Entitlement is annotated and sent back to you. Finally, once all appropriate approval has taken place and paperwork is signed, you move in.
