Lily Collins tells MTV News her Snow is a 'young woman who found out that she can save a prince as much as a prince can save her.'
By Kara Warner
If you're looking for a fun, fantastical, family-friendly movie to see this weekend, Tarsem's "Mirror Mirror" has you covered. The visually appealing and star-studded film is a new spin on an old classic, featuring an exuberant "man child" of a prince played by Armie Hammer, Oscar winner Julia Roberts as an unhealthily vain Evil Queen and Lily Collins as a more independent and self-assured Snow White.
When MTV News caught up with Roberts and Collins recently, we asked them to explain how their characters differ from the familiar fairy-tale mold.
"I think she's deeply misunderstood," Roberts said of her Evil Queen. "And I think she is correct in her ambition and drive and desire and focus to annihilate Snow White. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that. She's clear," she joked. "She's exacting."
Collins explained that her Snow White is not your typical damsel in distress. "She really becomes a fighter, emotionally and physically, and turns into this young woman who found out that she can save a prince as much as a prince can save her," she said. "She really becomes this fighter, and I got to swordfight and fence and wrestle and do all these cool things that you don't normally associate with a princess."
Speaking of fighters and swordfights, we couldn't help but ask for the castmembers' opinions on the fact that another Snow White-centric film, "Snow White and the Huntsman," will be hot on the heels of "Mirror Mirror" when it opens June 1 and how it might fare against their film.
"I'm interested to see what they did," Hammer admitted. "I think what we did is make a movie that's family-friendly. The parents are going to go to it and enjoy it almost as much as the kids are. Plus our movie kicks that movie's ass, let's be honest," he added with a grin. "Yeah. And we're out first. And we're gonna kick their ass!" he joked, clearly not concerned with competing against "Huntsman." "We're gonna make so much more money than they are! Our Rotten Tomatoes score is gonna be so much higher."

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) ? U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton made clear Saturday that time is running out for diplomacy over Iran's nuclear program and said talks aimed at preventing Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon would resume in mid-April.
With speculation over a possible U.S. or Israel military attack adding urgency to the next round of discussions in Istanbul set for April 13, Clinton said Iran's "window of opportunity" for a peaceful resolution "will not remain open forever."
She also expressed doubt about whether Iran has any intention of negotiating a solution that satisfies the U.S., Israel and other countries that believe Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons. Tehran contends the program is solely for peaceful energy and research purposes.
"We're going in with one intention: to resolve the international community's concerns about Iran's nuclear program," Clinton told reporters after attending a security conference in Saudi Arabia.
"Our policy is one of prevention, not containment. We are determined to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon," America's top diplomat said.
"We enter into these talks with a sober perspective about Iran's intentions. It is incumbent upon Iran to demonstrate by its actions that it is a willing partner and to participate in these negotiations with an effort to obtain concrete results."
Her remarks followed President Barack Obama's announcement Friday that the U.S. was moving ahead with penalties aimed at depriving Iran of oil revenue, while also working with Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf states to ensure ample global petroleum supplies.
Clinton prodded Gulf governments to develop a coordinated defense strategy against Iranian missiles. With tensions rising in the region, she said American and Gulf militaries should cooperate to improve maritime security as well.
Underscoring the limits of U.S.-Gulf cooperation, however, U.S. officials confirmed Saturday that the United Arab Emirates had shut down an American-funded democracy group, following similar Emirates action against a German organization this past week.
Discussions also covered ways to pressure Syrian President Bashar Assad to end a year of bloodshed from the uprising against his rule, but the focus was on Iran.
"It soon will be clear whether Iran's leaders are prepared to have a serious, credible discussion about their nuclear program, whether they are ready to start building the basis of a resolution to this very serious problem," Clinton said. "It is up to Iran whether they are ready to make the right choice. ... What is certain is that Iran's window of opportunity to seek and obtain a peaceful resolution will not remain open forever."
She said pressure from the economic penalties and international isolation was increasing on Iran to show it is serious about satisfying the world's concerns.
Iran and the six nations involved in the negotiations? the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China ? met in Istanbul 14 months ago. But the talks ended after two days with the sides unable to even agree on what to talk about.
Iran has used past talks to delay sanctions or try to divide the international front, while pressing ahead with its nuclear program.
Obama has underlined the need to give time for diplomacy alongside penalties. He said Friday that the U.S. would move ahead with potential measures against U.S. allies and other countries that keep buying Iranian oil. It was the latest step in the campaign to starve Iran of money for its nuclear activity.
The president said the world oil market was tight, but deep enough to keep the squeeze on Iran.
Clinton, who met Friday for almost two hours with Saudi King Abdullah, said the U.S. and Saudi Arabia share an interest in ensuring stable energy markets that foster economic growth.
She recognized the kingdom's efforts to meet increased market demand for countries weaning themselves off Iranian petroleum imports. She also said the U.S. and Sunni governments of the region would cooperate to counter Iranian threats against shipping in the Gulf and Tehran's support for "the Assad regime's murderous campaign."
Before heading to Turkey for a 60-nation "Friends of the Syrian People" meeting Sunday, Clinton lamented what she called the Assad government's shelling of civilian neighborhoods and targeting of mosques and churches.
She said these attacks have continued despite Assad's acceptance of U.N. mediator Kofi Annan's plan to end the crisis. That plan includes an immediate cease-fire and an eventual democratic transition.
In a concluding statement, the U.S. and the other countries at Saturday's meeting urged Annan to issue a timeline for putting his plan in place.
Western diplomats want to give diplomacy a chance, having invested months of effort to persuade Russia and China, veto-holding members of the U.N. Security Council, to unite behind a common approach. But they, like the Syrian opposition, fear Assad may only be playing for time.
Assad said he wants the plan to succeed, but insists the opposition must first commit to a cease-fire.
The West says the Syrian government must pull back its troops first, and U.S. officials say much of the diplomacy right now concerns the choreography of how the two sides would lay down their arms.
More than 9,000 people have been killed in Syria's violence since last March, according to U.N. estimates.
Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar are among the most impatient and have spoken about possible military intervention, from arming Syria's badly overmatched rebels to creating safe zones from which the rebels can operate.
"I believe we all agree on the need for an immediate cease-fire to the systematic killing," Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal said at a news conference with Clinton.
He said the Syrian government's crackdown has "reached the level, at the very least described as crimes against humanity, on which the international community should not remain silent."
Washington fears a military escalation could lead to all-out civil war and play into Assad's hands, considering his vastly more powerful military.
Clinton said officials meeting in Turkey would discuss "additional steps to increase pressure on the regime, provide humanitarian assistance despite the efforts of the regime to block access and advance plans for an inclusive, democratic and orderly transition that addresses the aspirations of the Syrian people."
Clinton also expressed concern about increased pressure across the region on civic groups, in particular those advocating political or democratic reforms. It was an apparent reference to the Emirates' move this past week against the U.S.-based National Democratic Institute and Germany's Konrad Adenauer Foundation.

In New Delhi, Dr. Ajay Mathur, Director General of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, released our interim report, Constructing Change: Accelerating Energy Efficiency in India?s Buildings Market earlier this month.? At the national workshop releasing our report, I was particularly encouraged by how many local leaders from Gujarat, Rajasthan, and other states, as well as private industry leaders such as ITC and Honeywell, agreed with Dr. Mathur that, ?India?s commercial buildings sector has an enormous potential for energy efficiency.?? Yet, the challenge remains to generate action at local levels to implement efficiency measures driven by both government and business leaders.?
During the workshop, Sunit Mathur explained how Rajasthan is adopting a local energy efficiency code and developing a framework for compliance.? Experts such as Dr. Vishal Garg from IIT in Hyderabad discussed the need for capacity building and increasing awareness at all levels from government staff to real estate developers.? Dr. David Goldstein, NRDC Energy Director, also shared U.S best practices on accelerating efficiency and Gang Liu and Richard Liu shared experiences from China. It?s clear that coordinated stakeholder action is needed, particularly from three main groups: local governments, building developers, and banks.
?Constructing Change,? NRDC and ASCI?s interim report, focuses on local governments, developers, and banks and makes recommendations for unleashing the enormous potential for energy savings in India?s booming buildings market.? While there is significant progress toward adopting energy efficiency in buildings in India, coordination among these three stakeholders is the foundation for developing a policy framework that drives sustainable development and adoption of energy efficiency measures, as discussed in our interim report.
State and Local Governments - State action towards establishing the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) by 2012 for new commercial construction sets an imperative precedent to enforce building efficiency in states across India. ?For example, in Andhra Pradesh, an informal ?Steering Committee on Energy Efficiency,? including the Confederation of Real Estate Developers? Associations of India (CREDAI) and the Indian Green Building Council, ASCI, and NRDC are working to support ECBC code adoption and implementation.? In Gujarat, the Centre for Sustainable Environment and Energy at CEPT University is raising awareness among building designers, academia, government authorities and the construction industry about energy efficiency and the ECBC.? In Tamil Nadu, the Tamil Nadu Electrical Inspectorate (TNEI), Chennai Municipal Development Authority, pollution control board and other stakeholders are discussing how the ECBC can be adopted to improve building efficiency. As discussed in our interim issue paper, state and local governments should continue to implement steering committees, set residential and commercial building standards, and develop training programs on energy efficiency.
Real Estate Developers - Developers drive demand for energy efficiency. While some leading developers are building more efficiently, the developer community still needs to increase awareness of energy savings and reduced costs derived from efficient buildings. Many developers perceive higher upfront costs of efficiency measures as a significant obstacle to uptake, even though the efficiency measures pay for themselves. Developers can lead in adopting building efficiency through the creation of a real estate developer network that produces case studies; promotes energy efficiency leases; motivates regulatory incentives; and works with energy efficiency equipment vendors? and manufacturers? associations to create more efficient building products and materials.
Banks - Financial institutions create business opportunities for energy efficiency by reducing higher upfront costs through low-interest loans and innovative financial products. Opening and increasing dialogue between real estate developers and financial institutes is critical to share best practice and develop methods to solve the issue of supply and demand for efficiency measures. Financial institutions can work to structure effective financial products for new and existing buildings, with or without mortgages, to be able to adopt energy efficient practices; engage with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and National Housing Bank (NHB) to support energy efficiency through measures such as guidelines on energy efficiency investment, portfolio-based efficiency targets, regular audits, priority sector lending,? finance lines to banks for onward lending to both builders for investing in energy efficiency initiatives and lines of credit at partly-subsidized rates to be offered to consumers for the mortgage loans, and communicate with Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) on solutions to financing efficiency measures for clients to address the hurdle of upfront construction costs for efficiency measures.
A vicious cycle persists when building owners cannot benefit from improved cash flow from efficiency improvements, which increases resistance toward adopting efficiency measures.? In the coming weeks, we will revise our interim report based on the rich discussion during our March 2012 workshop, and in the months ahead we?ll work with stakeholders to construct change and drive action to implement building efficiency to save costs, reduce energy use, and fight climate change.

Greg Smith has created a significant buzz on Wall Street. When he resigned on March 14th as an executive director at Goldman Sachs, one of the world?s largest investment banks, he decided to publish his resignation letter in the New York Times. Needless to say, he has definitely burned his bridges with his former employer. After 12 years at Goldman Sachs, which he writes was ?long enough to understand the trajectory of [the company?s] culture?, Smith claims he could no longer in good conscience identify with what the company stood for. He complains of a shift in the company?s practices from protecting client interests towards a culture of money-grubbing in which the client?s interests are sidelined. According to Smith, the mission today is to get clients to trade whatever brings the biggest profit to Goldman. He writes:
?
?Integrity? It is eroding. I don?t know of any illegal behavior, but will people push the envelope and pitch lucrative and complicated products to clients even if they are not the simplest investments or the ones most directly aligned with the client?s goals? Absolutely. Every day, in fact.?
?
He described an environment where colleagues callously boast about ripping off clients, whom directors refer to as ?muppets.?
?
Smith concludes his letter by stating:
?
?I hope this can be a wake-up call to the board of directors. Make the client the focal point of your business again. Without clients you will not make money. In fact, you will not exist. Weed out the morally bankrupt people, no matter how much money they make for the firm. And get the culture right again, so people want to work here for the right reasons. People who care only about making money will not sustain this firm ? or the trust of its clients ? for very much longer.? [299 words]

What can companies do to prevent dissatisfied or disgruntled employees from making their feelings public?
Student A |
It?s March 13th. Your friend, Greg Smith, tells you he plans to resign tomorrow. You don?t believe he should. Try to think of reasons why he shouldn?t. (Possible reasons: 1) money 2) businesses are all the same 3) if he wants to make a difference, then stay and fix the problem, etc.) |
Student B ? |
It?s March 13th. Tomorrow, you plan to quit your job. Tell your friend (Student A), about your plan to resign and also post your resignation letter publicly. |
In Plato?s The Republic, Thrasymachus challenges Socrates to tell him why it is better in life to be just. Thrasymachus argues that it is not only more profitable to be unjust and immoral but also more rational to be so. He argues that the unjust life is more pleasant and offers more rewards. The life of the moral man, however, is wretched and unhappy. How would you respond to Thrasymachus? challenge?
Discuss the below situations with a partner. Share your ideas with the class when finished.
1. If you are overworked and underpaid, is it okay to conduct personal business on company time?
2. If you and two other members of a five-person team did all the work on a project, would you tell management about this? Is it okay to put the other co-workers in a negative light?
Combine you and your partner?s last names to make the name of a financial institution. Next, draw up a basic company mission statement that outlines its core values.

To feature Jamaican Property Developers
Jamaicans residing in Florida, USA will be able to find out more about real estate investment opportunities in the island, at a JN Real Estate Fair, to be staged at Inverrary Country Club in Lauderhill, Florida, on Sunday, April 22, 2012.
?The fair is being organised by the Florida Representative Office of Jamaica National Building Society (JNBS), under the theme ?Paradise is Calling,? to provide direct access to real estate developers and agents from Jamaica who are participants in the JNBS Preferred Lender Programme.
?In addition, Jamaica National will highlight its special 9.4% rate on residential mortgages, which is currently among the lowest now on offer in Jamaica.
?Mrs. Janice McIntosh, Chief Representative Officer for Jamaica National in Florida, said that the fair will give Jamaicans living in Florida, ?the opportunity to learn more about home and property developments in the island; and explore opportunities for ownership.?
?Developers in the Preferred Lender Programme will mount displays and provide print collateral material for prospective home owners to explore and commit to a purchase.? Under the Preferred Lender Programme, Jamaica National collaborates with real estate developers in Jamaica? that satisfy strict criteria, and offers promotional support for their housing solutions.
??They are Jamaican based real estate agents, who have formed an alliance with the JNBS Mortgage Unit,? Mrs. McIntosh pointed out. ?And, through this partnership, we are educating Jamaicans residing overseas about housing options in Jamaica.?
?She pointed out, that last year a series of real estate workshops were hosted by the JN Representative Office in cities across Florida, which resulted in a significant increase in interest from Jamaicans, ?seeking to learn more about real estate investment opportunities, as well as to clarify land and other estate related issues.?
??We plan to use this Real Estate Fair to give prospective patrons much more information; therefore, we have also invited quantity surveyors and lawyers to attend the event,? Mrs. McIntosh stated, ?because these representatives will be able to provide meaningful information to guide the decision making of participants.?
?For persons who may have property in Jamaica, or who are currently pursuing legal and estate matters, Mrs. McIntosh said that the National Housing Trust (NHT) and the National Land Agency (NLA), will also have representatives on hand ?who will be able to provide up-to-date information for persons who need to establish their status with the NHT, or get detailed information about land they own in Jamaica.?
???We anticipate that some persons will be actively seeking to acquire homes or land,? she stated. ?With our experience in providing mortgages and this attractive lending rate, it will be the perfect opportunity to serve potential purchasers.?
?Patrons can attend the JN Real Estate Fair at no cost. Interested persons are invited to contact the JNBS Florida Representative Office at 1-800-390-7850, or by sending an email to jmcintosh@jnbs.com for additional information.

Email marketing is considered by many Internet marketers to be obsolete. However many other successful online business people consider it a critical part of their total online business system success. This debate goes on and on. Are you familiar with email marketing? Would you like a brief overview of the advantages and disadvantages. If you would, the information below will discuss the basics for easy understanding.
Email marketing is direct marketing with email as a method of delivering commercial messages to a substantial target audience. Put simply, each email sent to an existing or potential client is recognized as email marketing. Email marketing can help improve the relationship involving the customer and the product owner or vendor. As a result, it promotes consumer loyalty. It doesn?t only motivate customer dedication it can also help obtain new clients as well as persuades previous clients to work with or buy from you again.
Email marketing does have it?s benefits. It?s got the capability to send out information and facts to a massive target market of potential clients for a fairly low price. It?s less expensive in comparison to direct mail and published news letters. An email arrives in an instant compared to mailed advertisement which takes longer. As opposed to the? standard web site which usually waits for its prospects, email marketing drives your message to the targeted capability.
Having advantages come drawbacks. Email marketing is utilized by different businesses to connect with their clients, but other businesses send out mass email, known as Spam. Spam is not permitted. not only is it illegal but it has the tendency to backfire on it?s users. As opposed to growing their potential customers, quite a few will make bogus promises about the business, as a result, lessening its prospects and purchasers.
Email marketers develop a listing of people who display curiosity on their site. As opposed to common web site with visitors that simply come and go, It is customary for these marketers to make a list of those who are interested in their products. This kind of list is usually a significantly targeted list. This targeted list might be the marketers greatest and most reliable source of income. For the reason that online marketer may use emails to enable the potential buyers learn what their products and services are exactly about. Research can be performed on this list of optin subscribers to understand what the consumers want and need. The list is permanent and ever growing.
Email marketing also is a creation of trust. The? Internet marketers deal with their clients as their friends which in turn develops a more substantial and lasting connection between the two. Hard selling products and services should be avoided at all cost. The marketers objective isn?t in selling a service or product to be a once only deal. Their aim will be to build a lasting association with the purchaser designed for potential future product sales. The Internet marketers stay in contact with their clientele supplying them with information, facts and knowledge concerning the product or service to the customer. This really is very essential. This demonstrates that the marketer isn?t the common salesperson; it demonstrates that the marketers actually discuss the information and facts with their costumers.
Email marketing can be a excellent way of communicating involving the customer as well as the merchant. Additionally it generates a lasting connection helping to make a client devoted to the Internet marketer while? also developing the trust factor needed in every business.

All of this reminds me of the bogus, misplaced effort of the Toms Shoes variety. You know - the guy who's margin on cheaply made shoes is so high, he donates a pair for African charity, for every pair your daughter buys in the Westfield Centre.
Put your factory there! Employ Africans, and use the charity-profits to train local entreperneurship to become your next competitor! Teach a man to fish, fer godsake!

Cadillac
Cadillac's latest safety technologies include graphics on the gauge cluster that indicate when an object has been detected in the path of the vehicle.
By Joseph Szczesny , The Detroit Bureau
It?s something a good race car driver is expected to do, using the subtle cues a car gives while racing around the track to push to the limits.? But now, even an average driver will be able to drive by the seat of their pants in Cadillac?s new flagship luxury sedan.
The General Motors luxury division is introducing a suite of new safety features for the new 2013 Cadillac XTS luxury sedan, which is slated to go into production this spring, including an industry first using the driver?s seat to alert a motorist to threats while driving or parking.
The patented Cadillac Safety Alert Seat generates vibrating pulse patterns in the lower bolster to alert the driver to potential dangers, such as drifting from a traffic lane or toward nearby objects while parking.? Threats from the front and rear trigger pulses on both sides of the seat, while the seat, while the seat can vibrate on the left or right to signal the direction of a problem, GM engineers said as they demonstrated the new equipment at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, Michigan.
?It?s akin to someone tapping on your shoulder in a crowd to get your attention,? said GM Active Safety Technical Fellow Raymond Kiefer. ?Using the tactile sense to communicate crash threat direction provides an effective and intuitive way to cut through the clutter of visual and auditory sensory information that drivers routinely experience.?

?The system works in tandem with other visual alerts, and extensive field research by GM?s human factors experts shows that it can quickly and accurately focus driver attention to the direction of potential dangers.
?We commend GM for their innovative use of haptic feedback and hope that drivers find it helpful,? said Adrian Lund, president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety,
The seats are part of the Cadillac Driver Awareness and Driver Assist packages, a combination of active safety systems designed to help drivers avoid crashes. The Driver Awareness Package, available at the launch of the Cadillac XTS this spring, includes Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

The Driver Assist Package, which follows by autumn, also uses the Safety Alert Seat and features Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic Collision Preparation, and Front and Rear Automatic Braking Systems to stop the car under some conditions such as if the driver is about to hit a post while backing up.
The Drive Assist Awareness and Driver Assist packages will also be offered this year in the new Cadillac ATS compact luxury sedan and the SRX luxury crossover, said Don Butler, general manager of Cadillac marketing.
Butler said Cadillac hasn?t priced the new safety options. But he said they will be packaged with Cadillac?s new CUE system and an updated navigation system that is required to make the safety systems work.
According to Kiefer, GM research shows that the seat may direct driver attention to the location of a crash threat more quickly and accurately than beeping alerts.

?Vibrating alerts also may help drivers who do not hear beeping alerts due to hearing loss or competing noises, and may be preferred by drivers and passengers who might be annoyed by beeps and shut crash avoidance features off,? Kiefer said. ?The last thing we want is for drivers to turn off features with safety benefits.?
The Safety Alert Seat works with a variety of sensors and cameras installed in the car that help ?intelligently? decide when to activate warnings. For example, if a turn signal is on, lane departure warnings are not presented.
Safety Alert Seat vibrations can be selected by the driver, via an in-vehicle menu, to replace the audible beeping alerts used across much of the industry.
The seats also will be connected to the XTS Park Assist system and Rear Cross Traffic Alert system to help make parking in tight spaces easier.
?We feel customers will appreciate the intuitive elegance of the Safety Alert Seat, and more importantly, will appreciate the ?good vibrations? afforded by the features linked to this seat,? Kiefer said.

Iran carried out death sentences on at least 360 people in 2011, up by more than 40 percent on the year before, according to a report published Tuesday by Amnesty International.
The report noted increases in other Mideast countries including Saudi Arabia, where at least 82 people were executed in 2011,?for crimes including??sorcery,? an Amnesty statement said. That figure was up from at least 27 in 2010.
Read the full Amnesty International report
The group said it had received ?credible reports? that there were a large number of unacknowledged executions in Iran, which would ?almost double the number of ?official? ones there.?
Among those executed in Iran were people convicted of offenses such as adultery and sodomy.
Thousands thought killed in China
Amnesty said that in total 20 countries carried out at least 676 executions in 2011, compared to 23 countries and 527 judicial killings the year before.
But it said the figures did not include ?thousands of prisoners thought to have been executed in China.?
The statement said most countries ?either hanged or shot their condemned prisoners, but there were also beheadings in Saudi Arabia and lethal injections in China, Taiwan and the USA.?
The group said 68 people were executed in Iraq, 43 in the United States, at least 41 in Yemen, 30 in North Korea, and 10 in Somalia.
Overall, at least 18,750 people were under sentence of death worldwide at the end of 2011, the statement added.

Family Residential
The ultimate goal of single-family residential investment is to realize the benefits available from rental income and appreciation potential. Invest in multiple single-family residential properties can achieve this goal, but unfortunately the costs may outweigh the benefits.Taxes, legal obstacles, the documentation of the property, other requirements and procedures consume the value of the property and any rental income generated.The value of a management program in real or investor is lost in the bureaucratic regulatory structure, which increases costs in a recession. Single-family residential investment is best left to more favorable times.
Multi-Family Residential
Multifamily dwellings have an advantage over single-family residential properties. The various economies of scale reduce costs and maintain profitability. The total acquisition cost is lower per square meter multi-family properties.Moreover, the fact that families give the same multiple-use property means that the total income that the property is greater than houses.The costs are lower and income is higher, which is big business for all investors. Spread the costs over several units also means that the unit price is lower. Multifamily residential properties avoid many of the problems associated with residential investment.
Commercial Real Estate
The sale of real estate business isa completely different type of animal compared to residential investment. Commercial properties have different funding needs because they have different formulas. A popular formula is the capitalization rate or cap rate.The capitalization rate is calculated by dividing annual income (subtracting fixed and variable costs) for the full value. The higher the rate limit, the better the performance. The capitalization rate used to calculate operating margin for the value. Operating margin is calculated by subtracting operating expenses from operating income.The result is the net operating income if positive, but the net operating loss if negative. The capitalization rates are regularly reported in the media real estate, an important witness.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
REITs are traded on exchanges like stocks. It is reliable to invest directly in residential and commercial real estate. Investors most often used for REITs over other methods of investing in real estate. Getting in and out of the market is as easy as buying and selling stocks.REITs are highly liquid and can pay high yields, giving investors a great return on your money. REITs can invest in physical properties, mortgage or both, giving investors more options.High dividends are attracting investors to this asset class. The performance of REITs may serve as a proxy for the housing market as a whole, giving investors a large set of indicators.
The Mobile Homes
Mobile homes are a unique opportunity for real estate investors, especially compared to houses. Rentals are trapped in a downward spiral due to oversupply. Investors are actually lower rents to attract tenants and overcome the scourge of the vacancy.Mobile homes are in a different situation because of its high costs of moving. Normally, the cost of moving a mobile home is $ 3,000.Nobody wants to pay $ 3,000 in response to a rent increase of $ 10 or $ 30 per month. This makes the income is more flexible for investors.
