No matter what particular type of real estate your business has evolved ? residential, commercial or industrial ? a successful business model primarily  focuses on real estate performance metrics, which help to streamline financial and operations processes. Monitoring the factors that affect the business particularly enhances the ability to improve the whole portfolio performance.

Appropriate performance measures can include calculation of rates of return, space quality and comparison to market, unresolved transactions, monthly feedback by staff, accuracy and completeness of property records, quality assessment of properties, client surveys on staff performance and occupancy patterns.

Occupancy rates can be increased on condition of the availability of the right amount of space at the right time ? that’s what prospective customers usually await. Meeting their expectations is key to customer retention and consequently to higher performance level.

In addition to other information, the occupancy rates can be viewed by property, lease changes, rent roll, operating statements and accounts receivable information. If the company gets the actual data, from accounts payable and receivable to lease origination and occupancy patterns it manages the entire portfolio cost effectively.

Building up value oriented real estate management, property companies look forward to the optimization of the portfolio and the relevant services seeking to measure strategic orientation, structures, processes, qualifications, performances together with the costs and resources by certain benchmarks.

Benchmarking is a continuous learning process targeted at creating advantages by means of identifying the problem, whether it is realization in profit or cost reduction potential, and finding the right solution. The latter can be the result of a profound analysis of the company’s own experience as compared with others’. The points of the comparison may be standardization of properties information, a uniform performance measurement, identification of performance gaps and others.

Real estate is often termed as the safest investment avenue. In fact, real estate investments done with proper evaluation of the property (and its true value), can lead to good profits. This is one reason why some people pursue real estate investment as their full time job. The talks of real estate are generally focussed towards residential real estate; commercial real estate seems to take a back seat. However, commercial real estate too is a good option for investing in real estate.

Commercial real estate includes a lot of different kinds of properties. Most people relate commercial real estate with only office complexes or factories/ industrial units. However, that is not all of commercial real estate. There is more to commercial real estate. Health care centers, retail structures and warehouse are all good examples of commercial real estate. Even residential properties like apartments (or any property that consists of more than four residential units) are considered commercial real estate. In fact, such commercial real estate is much in demand.

So, is commercial real estate really profitable? Well, if it were not profitable I would not have been writing about commercial real estate at all. So, commercial real estate is profitable for sure. The only thing with commercial real estate is that recognising the opportunity is a bit difficult as compared to residential real estate. But commercial real estate profits can be real big (in fact, much bigger than you would expect from residential real estate of the same proportion). You could take up commercial real estate for either reselling after appreciation or for renting out to, say, retailers. The commercial real estate development is in fact treated as the first sign for growth of residential real estate. Once you know of the possibility of significant commercial growth in the region (either due to tax breaks or whatever), you should start evaluating the potential for appreciation in the prices of commercial real estate and then go for it quickly (as soon as you find a good deal). And you must really work towards getting a good deal. If you find that commercial real estate, e.g. land, is available in big chunks which are too expensive for you to buy, you could look at forming a small investor group (with your friends) and buy it together (and split the profits later). In some cases e.g. when a retail boom is expected in a region, you might find it profitable to buy a property that you can convert into a warehouse for the purpose of renting to small businesses.

Real estate loan is what a lot of people use to buy their home. Real estate loans have been instrumental in bringing joy to people by making that unaffordable house affordable. Some real estate investors too make use of real estate loans for buying properties. However, real estate loan is not free money and anyone who buys real estate or plans to buy real estate using real estate loan must understand the concept of real estate loan very clearly.

Real estate loan (also known as mortgage) is the money that you borrow from someone (a financial institution i.e. a mortgage lender) for the purpose of buying a property. The real estate loan generally covers a part of your purchase price and the remaining portion has to be paid by you upfront i.e. as down payment. The amount (i.e. the percentage of total purchase price) that you have to pay as down payment is dependent on a number of factors and you can generally reduce it to even 5% by going for mortgage insurance.

FHA and VA loans (i.e. mortgage insurances through FHA and VA) reduce the down payment requirement on real estate loan even further. Whatever you borrow from the mortgage lender as real estate loan needs to be paid back to the mortgage lender over a period of time (and, of course, you will also need to pay appropriate interest on that real estate loan). The tenure of your real estate loan and the prevailing market rate will determine the amount of interest you pay for your real estate loan. Generally, you are required to pay back the real estate loan in the form of monthly instalments which are composed of both interest and principal portions of your real estate loan.

Summer Festivals

Fête de la musique, Geneva

Geneva airport transfers let you celebrate the start of summer the right way: with Geneva’s fête de la musique.  The streets and squares of Lausanne become the stage of musicians from all over the world. With every musical genre represented, including classical, jazz, rock and pop, you’re guaranteed to be swept up by the feel-good atmosphere.

Real estate investment can happen for various reasons. You could invest in real estate because you need a house for yourself (that house of your dreams that you so badly want). You could use real estate as a means for supplementing your income either by buying at a lower price and selling at a higher price or by letting it out.  Sometimes you might buy a property for the purpose of resale but might want to wait for a few years before you actually sell it. In such a case, again it would make sense to rent out the property and earn some money till you actually decide to sell it off.

Whatever the reason, letting out real estate demands real estate management and real estate management is not an easy job for everyone. In fact, a lot of people find it so much of a hassle that they prefer keeping their property vacant instead of letting it. Real estate management demands time, which you will rarely have. Real estate management is not just about finding tenants and collecting rent from them. Real estate management is also about ensuring that you do all the duties that a landlord/landlady is required to do. Real estate management is about verifying the credentials of the tenants before you actually let out your property to them.

Real estate management is about ensuring that all the paper work is complete and correct i.e. the tenancy agreement etc are properly done. Real estate management also requires you to do repairs as and when required. Real estate management activities also include maintenance, painting, polishing etc of the house when the tenants move out and before the new tenants get in. So, really, real estate management is not that easy a job for someone who is in a full time job. However, there is a solution to this and that is hiring a real estate management firm to do all these activities on your behalf.

April is the perfect time for hitting the ski-slopes – not just for the good snow, but also for the Easter festivities! One of the best French resorts for families, spring celebrations and high-altitude snow is Courchevel. It has a wide range of luxury catered chalets to stay in, excellent shops and restaurants, and plenty of ways of keeping the kids entertained in-between the gondola rides and slalom runs.

With so many events in Courchevel taking place this spring, it’s a great chance to combine skiing with some seasonal family downtime. April is also a fantastic month for catching some of the best conditions of the year, with pistes that are ideal for skiers of all abilities, big or small. If you’re a regular visitor to Les Trois Vallées, why not consider timing your next visit for the holidays?

Easter Party

Every year on Easter Saturday, the festivities kick off with a children’s dance party. This “Party on the Piste” has music, fireworks and lots of dancing in the snow, followed by The Enchanting Stroll, a magical night-time walk through the woods with some ‘surprising characters’ guiding you along the way! This is one of the biggest events in Courchevel of the year, so get your day’s skiing in early – you don’t want to miss out on the fun!

Easter Egg Hunts

With over 900 eggs hidden all across Courchevel on Easter Sunday, there’s plenty for kids to get stuck into on this mammoth treasure hunt. With chocolate eggs hidden on the gondola lifts, what better way to give your Sunday skiing that extra boost? It’s brilliant for helping the youngsters practice their skills on the slopes and pick up rewards along the way.

Easter Mass

If that’s not enough, there is also live gospel music and mass on the ice rink in town on Easter Sunday. After all that partying and egg-hunting, this is the perfect time for those little ones – and perhaps, more importantly, parents too! – to sit back, have a bit of rest, and savour the meaning behind Easter.

Looking for a quick get-away? Geneva airport transfers make this Swiss city the perfect Spring break destination. This April, discover Geneva’s buzzing cultural scene with superb concerts and films festivals, as well as food and drink tasting sessions.

The notion that this resort offers little in the way of advanced skiing needs to be eradicated. La Plagne also has it all in terms of accommodation, offering traditional chalets and cosy hotels as well as apartments perfect for partying with friends.

Despite the large percentage of family guests, La Plagne does have some decent nightlife. La Mine Bar is an English pub with a twist: it’s mining themed. There’s a DJ and regular live music as well as live sports shown on TV. Le Saloon Bar in Belle Plagne has a late-night disco open till 5am, if you can stay on the dancefloor that late after a day of intense, adrenaline-fuelled skiing…

Skiing

Although it is primarily known as an intermediate resort, there are opportunities aplenty for advanced skiing in La Plagne. The black runs of the Montalbert Valley and the bumpy runs of Les Charmettes are usually reserved for mogul competitions, but if there’s no event on feel free to tackle them if your skills are advanced and you dare…

The steepest runs are to be found on the Bellecôte Glacier and are a really stern challenge. There are a couple of great blacks up there to test you, and they’re worth trying in any snow conditions. If there’s fresh snow, there’ll be plenty to enjoy between the runs as well.

The mogul field reachable by the Traversee chair lift is visible for miles and miles, the moguls are that big! The field itself is over 200m long and will be a real test for even the most advanced skiers.

Off-piste

This is where La Plagne really offers some spectacular skiing. The areas around Macot, the Coqs couloirs and the Montalbert Valley offer a real draw to advanced skiers. For these options, be warned that you will need excellent snow conditions to be able to tackle them, and that you will end up beyond the lift system and need to catch a taxi back to the resort.

There is also incredible lift-accessed tree skiing in the resort, not to be missed by those who can tackle it. The best is situated on the wings of the resort, while there are also some really nice itineraries leading down to Macot at 800m.

No skiing enthusiast is truly a connoisseur until they have taken a trip to Les Trois Vallées!  There are enough slopes, bars and restaurants in the world’s largest ski area to keep you entertained for far longer than whatever the duration of your stay. Furthermore, for those looking for a bit of advanced skiing, the Val Thorens glaciers and winding reds off Mont Vallon (plus all of the off-piste in between) are second to none.

Situated at the heart of this skiing mecca is Méribel-Mottaret which, at 1700m, promises excellent snow coverage all season, a wealth of convenient ski-in/ski-out accommodation options and direct access to the 600km worth of piste across Les Trois Vallées.

Where to Ski

Méribel-Mottaret is perfectly situated in the middle of Les Trois Vallées, giving you unparalleled quick and convenient access to Courchevel, Val Thorens and the wider Méribel valley. (It is in fact quicker to get to the Courchevel valley pistes from Méribel-Mottaret than it is from the Courcheval resorts themselves!)

Close to home, don’t miss the idyllic Combe de Vallon that winds down from the top of Mont Vallon, a perfect place for a race to the bottom. Next up, take a trip to the high-altitude conditions of Val Thorens and journey up the Funitel Péclet to access Christine, where you can really put your parallel turns to the test on the sharp bends. Lastly, for some of the most advanced skiing that Les Trois Vallées has to offer, make your way to the Grand Couloir, a treacherously bumpy black run accessible from both the Courchevel and Méribel valleys that offers the added bonus of incredible vistas from its summit.

Après Ski

Within the Méribel-Mottaret valley, La Folie Douce has more or less become an institution on the après scene and is a must visit at least once during your trip. Expect pumping live music, free flowing drinks and dancing on tables. Similarly rowdy is The Ronnie at the Méribel Rond Point while, if you have the appetite to continue into the night, O’Sullivans in Méribel centre will offer up cocktails, clubbing and DJ events.
