Spain--A Truly Amazing Investment Opportunity

When you hear the words "Spain," "property" and "investment" together, what springs to mind?

Maybe snippets like:

"A whopping 250,000 for a two bed apartment away from the coast"

"A hefty 50,000 initial deposit to just exchange contracts"

"Difficult finance options"

"Very low rental yields"

"Saturated property market with falling prices"

Now, what would the mental picture be if we could replace it with:

"99,000 for a two bed apartment five minutes from an 18-hole golf course designed by a golfing legend"

"Only 14,000 initial payment to exchange contracts"

"90% finance pre-approved before exchange with rates of only 3.25%"

Clorox Corp., with $4.1 billion in revenues, is the manufacturer of Clorox bleach and numerous other brands. Recently, Clorox has been promoting its flagship bathroom cleaning product -- Tilex Mold and Mildew -- with a series of heavily rotated humorous television ads that feature a homeowner screaming and running out of the house with the tagline: "All homes have mold." In contrast to the tone of this, on the Tilex website there is reference to the potential health dangers of exposure to certain types of mold, including symptoms of lung tissue damage and memory loss....

Moneynet Warns Against Lenders Who Balance Books with Expensive PPI Cover

As lenders offer seductively low personal loan rates, online data comparison service Moneynet highlights the pitfalls of arranging loans with payment protection insurance.

Borrowers are currently enjoying some of the lowest-ever personal loan and credit card rates in the UK, as fierce competition in the sector sees lenders slashing rates.

Moneyback Bank is the latest loan provider to drop its rate, now down from 5.70 to 5.50 per cent – just one basis point above the Bank of England base rate.

But while consumers may well be seduced by such bargain basement rates, research by Moneynet reveals millions of borrowers are effectively topping up lenders’ coffers from the sale of over-inflated payment protection insurance policies.

“Consumers have never had it so good when it comes to personal loans, thanks to the many excellent products currently available - but, as is often the way with too-good-to-be-true lending rates, there’s a potential catch,” said Moneynet chief executive Richard Brown.

“Rates which are only a little above the base lending rate are not going to pile on the profits for lenders – but many are clearly enjoying bumper returns from astronomical PPI charges.

"Many borrowers will want to protect their loans - in recent weeks we have seen many redundancy announcements, and it stands to reason that borrowers may be nervous about their ability to repay loans - but it makes sense to track down the cheapest on the market," added Brown.

There is no shortage of examples as to how buying PPI with a lender offering a competitive loan rate can really push up the cost of repayments.

For example, a £5,000 loan over five years with PPI included from Norwich & Peterborough Building Society can cost over £50 per month more than a similar loan from Northern Rock with the best stand alone PPI policy. In fact, at a rate of 8.90%, a loan with N & P would cost more than the same loan amount with PPI from HSBC - even though HSBC's loan rate of 14.90% is nowhere near as competitive.

Moneynet financial comparisons suggests that it’s rarely in borrowers’ interest to accept the policy offered by their lender and they should consider using an independent low-cost broker to access PPI at far cheaper premiums which offer the same – or better – protection than their lender.

Clearly, the advantage of the lower rate is negated by the high cost of the PPI policy, warns Moneynet.

“With consumer debt at record levels there’s huge competition for loan business. Never before has it been so important to study the small print as virtually every product carries a sting in the tail – however mild," advises Richard Brown.... (Continue reading)

However, developing and maintaining an M2M system that is cost-effective, near 100% reliable, and scalable from 1 to 10s of thousands of assets is not easy and requires experience and expertise—particularly communications knowledge and experience—usually not available within an OEM’s resource pool....
