An Inside Look at Count's Challenge Theme Park in Transylvania, Romania

Wed, 3 Jun 2009 18:35:38 +0300

Less then two months ago........

This beautiful scenery could be seen only by those with access to the private hilltop property.
TODAY................

The first theme park in Transylvania is being birthed on this very site and prepared for a grand opening later this month.
Count's Challenge Theme Park or ''Provocarea Contelui' in Romania roadside advertisement Count's Challenge Theme Park or ''Provocarea Contelui' in Romania ........has the distinction of being the first theme oriented experience in Transylvania connected to the Transylvania of legend.. first and foremost of Dracula. roadside
Among the theme parks wooden constructions being pre-assembled in a nearby factory, stairs and a welcome centre are currently being mounted on site, with all items installed within 3 weeks time.

Tourists will have be able to arrive at the theme park by foot (including a path from Dracula's Castle) via shuttle bus or horse and carriage, as shown below.

Horse and carriage Tickets will be sold in the town centre prior to the ticket booth from Bran Castle, renown as Dracula's Castle worldwide, although containing only an exhibition of a former royal family. Over a half million tourists visit the location per year yet incredibly few options for tourist entertainment currently exist pre-Count's Challenge.
The Count's Challenge addresses this gap with an entertainment park, providing the only experience authentic to legendary Transylvania, featuring 4 live shows every 3 hours, a children's park, hiking and horseback riding trails, an open-air bar, and much much more.
A number of investors have already taken advantages of investment opportunities at the theme park with a limited number of additional opportunities currently on offer prior to launch. (Launch is scheduled for June 20 of this year) For investor information on Count's Challenge Theme Park contact Tudor Seicarescu at office@romaniareport.com

Own the Transylvania Brand Today!

info@romaniareport.com — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 14:28:34 +0200

The following is a sponsored announcement to Romania Report subscribers:

OWN THE TRANSYLVANIA BRAND
A small investment in real estate can bring frighteningly good returns AND TAP INTO A $60 million a year proven revenue stream *
Did you know:
- Castle Bran aka Dracula's Castle was listed by Forbes Magazine as the second most expensive piece of real estate in the world?
- Dracula has been featured in more feature films then almost any other legendary character and top tv series and books feature Transylvanian vampires? Transylvania is a very powerful, proven brand.
- Dracula's Castle brings to related businesses $60 million USD a year. Here's why this matters to YOU: - You can tap into the $60 million a year revenue stream for as little as $13,000 (10,000 Euro)
- You can expect MONSTROUS returns because despite it's immense popularity Dracula's Castle focuses on the story of an unrelated royal family and of the little tourists attractions (those that exist are very profitable) that surround the Castle none exploit the myth. (But merchants know why the tourists came -- they sell groves of t-shirts and other souvenirs of Dracula and zero, nip, nada of the royal family.)
This type of situation would never exist in Western Europe or North America. - You can own the famous land behind Dracula's Castle where intending invaders began their seize and due to it's immediate proximity new invaders,TOURISTS, will soon be invading as we open a brand new legend-oriented THEME PARK.
Here is how it works: - Most investments start at 20,000 Euro but we have several investment positions at 10,000 Euro. - For your investment, you own a pro-rationed portion of the land underneath the theme park, which due to economic times you buy at the same purchase price the original owner paid. This means your investment is backed up by land. - Your land ownership is registered at the notary and in the land registry providing you 100% freehold of the land. - At signing you also receive a notarized contract, as a new land owner, with the theme park, which guarantees you a pro-rated share of the theme park profits on a quarterly basis.
- According to our calculations,available in our full PDF guide, investments are paid off within one year in our likely worst-case scenario, leaving you in a year with both land ownership and your money back and in our other scenarios with an immediate profit. This is possible due to the high tourism figures brought by the Castle and the undeveloped, untapped status of the local tourism market.
We will be the first legend-oriented Transylvania entertainment option in all of Transylvania! - Buyback guarantee. If our calculations are significantly off you can opt for a buyback guarantee significantly limiting your risk. This includes a 3 year 30% ROI -- giving credence to our confidence in financial scenarios.
This opportunity exists due to the theme park developers need to free up already invested liquidity. Hence investors are able to partner with the developer at the same price point he has invested and evenly share profits.
This is one of those rare economic situation created opportunities. The theme park will launch June 2009
. All investors must be in by March 15, 2009.

North Garden is the number one choice in Bucharest for off plan villas. It's not hard to understand why. At an average price of 1,055 Euro per square meter in a market where most high end developments are closer to 2,000 Euro, this is the deal of the year for Bucharest off plan buyers. Instantaneous profit with North Gardenis almost a given and the developer has offered special pricing to move units quicker..but prices continue to increase marginally...so act fast. North Garden Villas fills a major gap in the Bucharest housing market....comfortable, high quality new houses at affordable prices servicing the city's growing middle class. Romania Report recommends North Garden as the off plan investment choice for Bucharest in 2008.

Luxury Apartments at Discounted Price.... Only 5 Still Remain

info@romaniareport.com — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 00:39:29 +0200

Last week we informed readers about an amazing opportunity to secure a luxury unit in a city-centre location at more then half less then the price for similar units in Bucharest. The response was overwhelming. 5 units currently remain at the 5% off discounted price. This means luxury units in a luxury complex complete with luxury finishings starting at 1150E sm2. Once the remaining 5 units are sold, the square meter price jumps 50E per sm2. We predict that as these units become ready in the first part of 2008 that the prices will immediately increase significantly in value. At that time, there will only be 80 luxury units in luxury buildings in the entire city. However the city has a substantial upper-middle and upper class. When the apartments are move-in ready the demand will far outweigh the supply. These apartments will become extremely coveted. The additional buildings in this development and any other future developments will still be a way off from completion. Combined with a general price correction beginning to happen in the local market, this is the no-brainer of no-brainers. Property values within one year should show at least 100% growth. The same is not true in Bucharest, where luxury units along with more budget accommodations should expect a healthy circa 20% price increase over the same time period.

The next big property boom 2007

info@romaniareport.com — Wed, 14 Feb 2007 22:24:36 +0000

The property market boom in Romania has previously been seen most clearly in Bucharest where the price of an average 100 sm2 apartment increased from $25,000USD in 2002 to a staggering 110,000 Euro in 2007. The wave of boom in the market has continued on to Brasov which saw an incredible average property value increase of 212% in 2005. Opportunities in these areas remain plentiful. However, they are clearly past their prime. The question has become, where is the next area in Romania to see the dramatic kind of growth (212% in one year) that Brasov has recently seen? Romania Report has located all of the elements of the "perfect storm." Click here to download the report to understand just what we mean…

Introducing The Bellevue
The Bellevue is a luxury apartment complex built by experienced, well-backed Israeli developers in city centre in conjunction with partners that have realized some of Bucharest's finest residential complexes.
The development (well under construction) is located in the most sought-after area of the city of Iasi ("Jassy") called Copou. It's Iasi's equivalent of the Dorobanti area of Bucharest for those you familiar with the area. There is no more desirable location in the entire city in which to live and all other new developments are located far from the city centre. The square meter price is 1150 Euro for the first 10 units and then 1200 Euro. This is an increase from the 970 Euro price in December as prices continue to rise on an ongoing basis.
Compare this with Dorobanti and the rest of upscale Bucharest where you will be looking at 2400-3000 Euro sm2 for similar units in a similar location. The growth potential here is phenomenal.

The Next Big Boom

info@romaniareport.com — Sat, 10 Feb 2007 02:33:03 +0200

In 2003 apartments bought in Bucharest for 25,000E would later sell in 2006 for over 100,00E. Brasov and the ski resort areas would register average growth in one year -- 2005-- of between 97% and 212%.
In 2007......Wouldn't you like to be able to finish that sentence?
Romania offers the investor the possibility of extraordinary returns. The trick is understanding what we refer to as the "wave of (property market) boom" that is traveling across Romania. We've been following this wave since it developed in Bucharest and then on to Brasov. We believe we know where it is about to hit next.
There is one location in Romania and one location only where all the elements for a tidal wave of explosive investment profit similar to those achieved in previous years in Bucharest (but already passed) is on the brink of occuring.

The Real Estate Market in Bucharest, Stronger then in America

info@romaniareport.com — Wed, 8 Nov 2006 05:49:04 +0000

A Tale of Two Economies

The US Commerce Department reported that the median price for a new home sold in September was $217,100, a drop of 9.7 percent from September 2005.

It was the lowest median price for a new home since September 2004 and the sharpest year-over-year decline since December 1970.

The weakness in new home prices was even sharper than a 2.5 percent fall in the price of existing homes last month, which had been the biggest drop on record.

In just two months real estate prices in general have fallen around 13% across the nation and the trend continues, with some markets being hit harder than others.

Across the ocean and a continent a different story all together is being told. Rather then being at it's decline, the Romanian real estate market, and that in particular of it's capitol city Bucharest is in it's major upswing.

Real estate investors looking for continued profit opportunities are coming to Romania. The best means to investing, according to many, is in "off-plans" or presale condos are they are reffered to more commonly in some parts.

An incredible seminar organized by respected Colliers International in Romania entitled "Portofoliul imobiliar-o noua afacere" or "Real Estate Portfolio - a new business" presented research that shows just how profitable investing in off plan developments in Bucharest can be.

The average profit, according to Colliers consultant Ilinca Paun, from the time of conception of an apartment complex on paper (when it is first offered as an off plan opportunity) to it's realization is 30-40%. After realization such apartments tend to rise in price an additional 40-50%.

Going Off Plan: How to benefit from an expanding Europe with tax-free real estate

info@romaniareport.com — Tue, 31 Oct 2006 14:55:10 +0000

Europe continues to expand its Union by letting in new member countries like Romania and Bulgaria. Hard-working Europeans are funding this new growth with their tax dollars. What many don’t know is that they, as well as Americans, or any other savvy individual can profit from the investment there tax dollars have been making in these countries. Real Estate values in these areas, bolstered by the coming European Union, continues to grow in value at a maddening pace, making some people very rich. Many Europeans are aware of this and are wondering how they can make there cut. Americans are increasingly finding out about this opportunity, which offers much higher returns then traditionally found in real estate investments there.

The best way to get in while the getting is good and make your profit off of the expanding European Union is by going ‘off-plan.’ This incentive-oriented investment opportunity allows you to make a maximum return on a minimal investment.

What exactly is an off plan?

In simple terms, an off plan property is one that is net yet finished construction.

Normally, ‘off plans’ are offered in an apartment or condominium complex or a development of houses or townhouses.

The buyer "reserves" a property or properties in a development found in one of a various number of stages from planning to completion. (The details of the buying process are described further along in this article.)

Off plan opportunities exist in a number of countries. The most popular and profitable include Turkey, Bulgaria, and Romania. They are generally represented by representation firms which oversee the project development on a daily basis for its investors and provides diverse services such as mortgage assistance and property management once the development has been completed.

Why Off Plan is considered such an attractive investment consideration.

One key to why buying 'Off Plan' can be such a good investment lies in the fact that normally you only have to pay approximately 30-40% of the purchase price as a deposit and then often nothing until completion of the property when the rest can be financed on a 60-70% mortgage (however some off-plans are staged in 3 to 4 payments).

How this model plays itself out in practical application can be seen in the example below:

Purchase Price: $ 100,000 (September 2006)
Deposit payable: $ 30,000

Let us assume that you sell the property in September 2008 (assuming the maximum wait period for almost any off-plan project) just before completion and that you sell for $130,000 (this is a much lower return than has been achieved in recent years). Your profit is $30,000 which is obviously on the $100,000 asking price a 30% return, but remember, all you have had to pay is a $30,000 deposit so your actual return on cash invested is 100%. You’ve doubled you’re investment money.

Many people also finance the 30-40% deposit by through releasing equity for their existing property and so do not actually have to have any liquid cash to take advantage of this profitable investment opportunity.

As we will learn in this article, however, these are just some of the many reasons why off plan offers are so attractive. Tax benefits, capital growth expectations, and rent-ability also play a major role.

Why do developers offer it?

The developer is very keen to sell as many properties as early as possible to minimize the risk to themselves and to obtain better interest rates on their development loans from banks and investors. To help sell the properties at this early stage the prices are normally extremely competitive for the reason above and also because there is often little to show potential purchasers except a floor plan and artists impressions of the finished development.

Liquidity is also a major consideration. I recently met with one such developer. He was eager to sell 10 apartments from his yet unfinished resort apartment complex at significantly reduced prices in order to acquire the cash to purchase adjacent land for a future development.

What are the potential risks?

The biggest potential risk is also the most obvious. The property becomes part of a development never completed. The best way to ensure that this doesn't happen is to buy from a reputable seller with a solid track record of past performance and from a developer with a similar sterling record. Some off plans are offered in developments that have close relations with banks, which will readily approve a mortgage against one of there off-plan properties. This is another sign of the credibility and bank-ability of a specific project.

Clearly, the early the investor gets into the project the more risk he or she technically is taken on. This must be waged against the greater profit that may come from getting in at a lower entry level that should be below the current market value.

How is such a high return possible?

The following factors all help increase the value of a development during and after construction:

1) Lower than 'market' prices offered by the developer initially.
As discussed above, the developer is keen to sell the properties as quickly as possible so prices are normally very competitive.

2) Best properties get sold first.
Normally when a development is released a pattern emerges, i.e. penthouses, corner units and ground floor with private gardens tend to sell first which then in leads to price rises.

3) Show home available/building commences.

As soon as the main structure of the development starts to take shape and/or a show home is opened prices normally increase substantially as prospective purchasers can see much more easily what the finished development and individual homes will look like.

4) More units sold.

As the developer starts to sell more and more properties the original prices will continue to increase which obviously means that if you wish to sell your property it is obviously going to be worth more.

5) Final Completion achieved.

Once the development is finished you will be the owner of a brand new apartment/house in a new development. The person who wants to buy at this stage will be prepared to pay significantly more for somewhere they can move into or rent out immediately rather than when the development was just a plan on a piece of paper and a plot of land or a semi-constructed dwelling.

The reasons listed above explain why prices should normally increase as a development is built. It is not uncommon for a property to be bought and sold again before a brick has been laid and even sold again several times before final completion.

To read the entire article and for more in-depth assistance to help you decide if Romania is the right investment destination for you and to find the perfect property, please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.

Buy in a state of the art complex at below-market prices and ensure a substantial profit!

In the 3 day period 10-13 October 89 apartments were sold in the 4 Tower Planorama Development.

The Value for money and the quality of these apartments means that the entire development of 1104 apartments could be sold out within the next 30 days.

This is the deal not to be missed for all looking for the piece in Romania's lucrative capitol city market. This could be our best offer yet. At this time, there are no other opportunities on the Bucharest market that we believe will match the investment returns offered here .

Romania Report-Investors Guide to Buying Property in Romania

Buying ‘off-plan’ is the most common method of buying property in Eastern Europe and has a number of advantages over buying existing, older properties:

Purchase prices for off-plan developments are normally set 12-18 months before the property is finally constructed and therefore buyers gain from any market appreciation in the time period between agreeing to buy and the final completion date.

Apart from the deposit, the full purchase price only needs to be paid upon completion. This offers cash-flow benefits to the buyer.

Off-plan developments are generally built to the latest construction standards and use more up-to-date construction materials (additional insulation, triple glazing, natural parquet flooring, high security etc).
