Most young people who had worked to put the excess funds are still confused. One of the coveted young people to invest is a property.

Well, usually young people will be confused with many questions, such as where the exact location, properties such as what the prospects are good, to which one is most profitable.

How to tips on choosing an investment in the property sector? Here are some tips that quoted by The Sydney Morning Herald, Wednesday

1. Ask yourself, why do want to invest in property, and what you want to earn?

If you want to get rich quick, then this is not the path you should take. Indeed, we have seen a surge in property prices a few years back, but property prices as well as the economic cycle, rising slowly. Despite the crisis, but in the next few years we will still see growth in property prices.

Average property industry players like to follow trends. For reasons that can not be explained by common sense, they just chase the property at the time the price went up. So, we can be sure the price increase would still occur in the coming years.

There are still many other factors that support the rising property prices. But, it is hard to guess when the price goes up and up to how big the increase. Instead of wondering pairs better with a long-term targets follow the development of national economy.

Currently, the crisis was engulfing Europe and the United States (U.S.), but these external factors will not affect much on the economy of developing countries. Thus, property prices will not fall upon this sentiment.

If you are young and just intend to get into the property industry, you have plenty of time to save money while looking at the world market developments. Do not rush.

2. Do not blind information

Once you seriously want to put some funds in a property, search for deep information about the industry, ranging from enterprises to the current trend. There have been many stories of developers who asked for a down payment after it disappeared swallowed by the earth before the property was completed. Do not be lured by cheap but an investment with high returns.

There are many ways to explore this kind of information. Internet has opened the window wide open. This is the most appropriate place for young people who want to look for news about the property. Not only that, read newspapers and magazines are also reputable property that contains the news.

The Internet also provides the price, location to where you are looking for a loan to buy the property. If you want to know the current trend, the article also read the opinions of the perpetrators of the property.

3. Invest in a balanced

It is undeniable, in the minds of young people investing in property can provide a high profit. It is also generally supported by both parents who have experienced a home or other property.

But, if you are young with more money and do not have dependents, it never hurts to invest elsewhere. This is done so that your investment is balanced, not heavy in one sector alone.

Even though you’ve just worked, but nothing to lose if you set aside a little of your income to invest in stocks. Or you could just push the advance of funds in the stock. Once you can profit, the funds can be used to purchase the property. Learn to invest early on to hone our ability to dredge dollars in the future.

No need to set aside funds to start investing too much, say around Rp 10000-50000 per week. Although small but better than nothing.

This small approach teaches you to share the risk. Your funds will not go away if anything happens, different if only placed in one container.

4. Saving as much as possible before you buy

If you intend to sublease the property you buy, such as houses or apartments, then you should have more money for the cost of care. If you buy property to live in, still needed the extra money, for money cleanliness and safety of your property maintenance as well.

The best step you can do is keep more money in savings before buying property. With this, you are better protected than any other additional costs.

If you have a credit card, pay off your credit card bills immediately before the interest arises. Financial experts recommend paying off credit card debts even if it means you have to sacrifice your savings. Think about it logically, that does not make sense to get into debt with high interest rates while maintaining low interest savings. This is tantamount to waste. Be wary of the burden of credit card interest charges!

Keeping it Safe Financial Condition

Creating a budget and get out of debt you need to do seriously. Once you get out of debt credit card debt and other short-term investments are not, then you can start trying some of the following practical steps:

• Reserve Money

Always provide financial reserves at least as much as six months of income. This reserve could be a savings or other investments easily cashed if needed immediately. If the situation changes, for example, you get fired, then you will have sufficient funds for at least six months while you apply for new jobs. Conversely, if you get a raise, tabunglah half of the salary increase.

• Large Debt

If you want to owe for investment, then try to calculate carefully the amount of the mortgage. Debt repayments may not exceed 30 percent of husbands salary. If you are a spouse who works full, simply calculate the mortgage debt of the husband’s income alone. Then enter into the budget that you have created to evaluate whether it was reasonable for the debt or credit.

You can significantly reduce borrowing costs by paying a higher down payment. But you should be saving for that far in advance to include them in your family budget. Low initial cost burden could mean lower credit costs.

• Family Communication

Another success factor in running a financial planning is good communication between family members. Develop and implement the budget may be the only tool that can help you to overcome financial problems. Avoid debt, and if you already have credit card debt, paying off immediately. You always set aside funds to save and invest. Thus, you can overcome your financial problems.

The proper handling of personal finances is one of the primary objectives and that more must be present in the mind of a person. Independent socio-economic level. The reason is simple, and that through good management with regard to personal finances, we can avoid a severe headache upon arrival at each end of the month. The central idea is the safeguard finances do not spend more than it earns. This basic principle, taking the salary of a person as income and all expenses incurred within a month, as the expenditures. With regard to pay the same, there is little that you can get to do to increase it. Unless you receive a raise or be able to find another job position, which receives a better wage. But this income can be maximized anyway. And this is done through investment. I usually do not have much money to invest, but do not always need a lot of this to be able to make and plan investments.

Something very simple which can be reached is to invest in time deposits. Or in mutual funds. Not much is going to win, but if these are kept in the weather could end up accumulating a lot of money. You are very safe ways to invest. Another way might be to invest in shares through stockbrokers, institutions specializing in that. But obviously it must bear in mind the expenses incurred during the month. And these are can have a variety. Since the natural cost of the house, whether your lease, or paying dividends this, bills, the supermarket, the costs inherent in one’s children, etc.

Address this issue, there are several pages on the Internet, which I try and give practical advice. But always the best advice to keep a lid on personal finance is constantly having a neat order of the monthly expenses. This happens for the fact that you will never start spending more than it earns. And if that happens, continue to maintain order, to organize for the payment of these debts.

Let’s see how we can record the financial deposits.
Let’s create an account and leave with an initial balance of $ 10,000. For our example we will use 4 new accounts, 2 2, banking and investment:

* My deposit paid monthly
* Your deposit payment due
* My investment funds
* My actions

Financial deposit paid monthly

The first bank account will be “My deposit paid monthly.” Current account will transfer from EUR 2000 dated 01/01/2010.

The settlement will be monthly, so if the pay is 4%, will yield a monthly interest of 6.55 euros gross, of which 19% will be retained (1.24 euros).

* Interest may be recorded as a monthly income of 6.55 euros in interest.
* The monthly withholding as an outflow of 1.24 euros for delays.

Upon expiry of the deposit will transfer 2000 euros deposit account to the checking account and it shall be liquidated.

Could help the recurring transactions to record interest, or use copy and paste and edit the date.

In this way, interest and withholding shall be duly recorded.
Financial deposit with annual settlement.

The second bank will be “My maturity deposit settlement.” Current account will transfer from EUR 2000 dated 01/01/2010.

As the settlement will be at maturity, annually, the interest is recorded (2000 X 4% = 80 euros) as income and deductions (80 euros – 19% = 15.20 euros) as an outflow, and the whole is transferred to the account given the deposit canceled.

This has been solved the problem with financial deposits.

As usual the recruitment of financial deposits, you may want to include them all in a single account to avoid creating short-lived many accounts, which can complicate maintenance accounts to be much short use.
Actions. (Investment Accounts).

When you create an investment account is included in the section on actions. The application gives a pretty decent support for management actions, but incomplete to investment funds.

Investment funds can be included in assets, but that only supports a revaluation or depreciation at an annual rate determined, which does not apply to assets such as mutual funds.

We decided to create two investment accounts, one for operations and one for the funds. Another option would be to create one for each bank with which we work, being able to mix stocks and funds.

The problem that I have found is that investment funds are not updated. You have to visit the page and change the value manually. At least using the yahoo page, we can automatically lead to information on the background.
Purchase of shares

we will give an order to buy 200 shares at 7.20 euros in a particular action. This is the calculation of the costs to be applied:

Purchase Order.
200 x 7.20 = 1440 euros.
Commission: 1440 x 0.20% = 2.88 euros.
Canon bag: 2.45 + 1440 x 0.024% = 2.45 + 0.35 = 2.80 euros Canon settlement: 0.003% 1440 (with a minimum of 0.04 and a maximum of 3.50 euros) = 0, 04 euros
Total cost: 2.88 + 2.80 + 0.04 = 5.72 euros

The operation was executed on January 4. Upon registration of the action by clicking New in my actions and filling out, we see that this operation is not affected at all bank accounts. Suppose the EUR 1445.72 have left the
Current account, for which must come to an Exit.

A special. If we have included the stock symbol, you can keep your contributions by clicking the Refresh button for each action, by clicking on “Edit” (or double-clicking on it), you can obtain company information by clicking the “Stock Price Web Page.” The assessment does not work with investment funds.
Purchase of investment funds

Investment funds shares accept decimal (which is not true of stocks). Money Manager agrees that change itself is put qeu decimals, so that the registration of a fund to be made in the same way.

We assume that on August 3, 2010, 2000 euros invested in the fund ES0107987036EUR. Suppose your contribution to that date was 71.79 euros:

2000 / 71.79 = 27.86 degrees (approximately)
Limitations

First, to point out that both the substance and the indicated action does not in any way a recommendation to purchase.

As you can see, there is no direct option to purchase shares or funds, but must indicate the purchase in the securities account (section Actions) and Exit in the bank account.

When you transfer, not real money out there, which does not affect our revenue and expenditure control, but instead, if we make expenditure for the purchase of shares or income from the sale, the amount will be reflected in our statement of expenditure and income. Is that what we want?

Citigroup, one of the largest banks and investment funds in the U.S., announced that it appointed John Havens as president and chief operating officer in order to expand the bank and start to move away from the financial crisis.

The restructuring is planned to reduce the number of executives who report directly to chief executive of Citi, Vikram Pandit, which is expected to provide faster solutions in decision-making. John Havens, who worked for 25 years at Salomon Brothers until 1998, when it was bought by Citigroup, will now be responsible for driving global markets.

While Citigroup said earnings last quarter, amounting to 1,300 million dollars, although very low results were expected on Wall Street (11% less than the 3rd quarter), is much better to the loss reported in the last quarter of 2009 of 7,600 million.

We can no longer trust the government to dole out an aged pension once we retire. we can not take for granted that by the end of our work, we will be taken care of financially.

world’s population gets older because of the baby boomers, and within 30 years there will be so many pensioners in relation to the number of working age people that it would be economically impossible for the government to afford to provide a reasonable source of monetary assistance to the elderly.
