Invest Wisely With Taylor Scott International

I received a phone call from Taylor Scott International around two years ago, it is the first time I heard of this company. They were inviting me to one of their seminars that I immediately declined, simply because I never heard of Taylor Scott International, so naturally my reaction was to put the phone down after saying no, loudly and clearly. You guessed it right! I was very rude to the caller, regrettably.
I say, regrettably simply because had I known beforehand what Taylor Scott International offers, I would not have declined their offer two times. You read it right! I got invited to Taylor Scott International seminars twice, I guess, my friends really love me so much that they keep on giving my name and number because they knew Taylor Scott International offers opportunities that were great or someone just really does not like me. Well, whatever their intention, I’m just glad they did not give up on me.
As said earlier, I got invited to Taylor Scott International regular seminars not just once but 3 times, I accepted the last invitation simply out of curiosity and to stop them from inviting me again. I figured they would stop bothering if I accepted their invitation as I was tired of hearing from Taylor Scott International.
By the way, before accepting the invitation, I did a brief research about Taylor Scott International just to make sure that they are legit and not a fly by night or run by people who don’t know what they are doing.
Taylor Scott International were established in 2005 as an investment firm with an aim to provide investment opportunities to people like me who wants a good return on their investment. Taylor Scott International track record and sound investment plan are the reasons why I took a chance and invested in their firm. Since, the manager did an excellent job explaining their wide range of investment programs.  
Take note, I was a bit hesitant even though Taylor Scott International investment program sounds fantastic. I have no problem investing my money on a long term basis with Taylor Scott International as the amount I would be investing for a small plot will not hurt my lifestyle. In other words, I have nothing to lose except money if things did not work out. The only thing that holds me back is lack of knowledge in this type of investment.
Bear in mind, I’m the type of person that does not really invest or spend money on things I’m not familiar with or not hundred percent sure, especially when I need to get a portion of my retirement savings. So, what finally made me decide to throw all caution out of the window and just invest with Taylor Scott International.  Honestly, I liked the way the people at Taylor Scott International handle our queries.
Like any smart investor, I ask all possible questions to erase lingering doubts and to put my mind at ease. With all the scams going around the world, it is best to be safe than sorry later. Besides, the money I will invest in Taylor Scott International is not something I pick out of a tree, it was hard earned money, that’s why, I need to be cautious. So, after talking with my friends who have invested with JSI and partner in life, I called the manager who entertained us and told her the good news.
I went to Taylor Scott International office the next day to invest. Frankly speaking, I have no regret investing my funds with Taylor Scott International as the company really knows what they are doing. I know, it will take maybe 5 or more years before I see my money again or at least a percentage of my investment. Nevertheless, I was not disheartened or afraid that I will not get my investment as Taylor Scott International sound investment plan are right on track. Additionally, anytime I need information or update, I simply visit Taylor Scott International office or call to know the status of greenbelt lands awaiting approval.  It may not happen soon, but there is no doubt that it will happen one day, and I will be able to get my investment with interest back.
Furthermore, the amount I invested as I said awhile ago will not hurt me financially. What more, Taylor Scott International investment program can double or quadruple my money. I cannot say the same thing if I just leave my money with the bank, but with JSI the probability as said awhile ago to get a good return of investment is high.  
Taylor Scott International sound investment program, professional staff and high ROI are the reasons why I’m I have invested portion of my retirement savings with Taylor Scott International. I even recommend Taylor Scott International to my friends and relatives as they simply know what they are doing.

Taylor Scott International Says Romania To Slap Curbs On Buying Farmland

According to Taylor Scott International, the Romainain government is to restrict the ownership of farmland by any single individual to 100 hectares – in what is seen as a measure to restrict purchases by foreign buyers. Marian Chiriac Bucharest The Romanian Agriculture Minister is to send parliament a draft law which would limit individual ownership of farmland to 100 hectares, as a way to protect agriculture. “The law will apply to all persons looking to buy farmland, regardless of their nationality.


Those who want to farms larger than 100 hectares can do this only through locally registered companies,” Minister Daniel Constantin said. The law will not be applied retroactively, Constantin added. Farmaland for sale must be bought only by people who must prove they have farming know-how and experience of at least five years in the field. Those who already own farmland and want to buy more land must prove that they have used the land they own already for farming activities.

Taylor Scott International Analysts say the law is aimed mainly at stopping foreigners from buying land in the country after December 31, 2013, when Romania is supposed to open up its market, as agreed in the EU accession treaty. Foreign ownership of land has become a hot issue in Romania. In recent months, the government expressed fears that foreign buyers could take advantage of low land prices and eventually control Romanian agriculture. The amount of farmland in Romania owned by foreigners has increased by more than 10 per cent in the last year alone, prompting the authorities to consider curbs.

Taylor Scott International estimates, foreigners now own over 710,000 hectares of farmland, which is around 8.5 per cent of the country’s total farmland. Of this amount, around a quarter belongs to Italian citizens, 15 per cent to Germans, and around 10 per cent to buyers from the Middle East. By law, only foreign companies can buy land in Romania – but that restriction has to be lifted by 2014, and the European Commission has called for it to be lifted even earlier. Ironically, agricultural land is not seen as an asset by most Romanians, who tend to consider agriculture a thing of the past. As many as 1.3 million hectares of arable land lie unused in Romania, according to statistics.

he total agricultural surface in Romania is 14.7 million hectares, of which 9.3 million hectares are arable. Almost half of Romania’s 19.5 million people still live in rural areas. But agriculture has long lacked investment, while other problems include fragmentation of holdings, property-related lawsuits and obsolete technology. Taylor Scott International

Taylor Scott International Coverage of the Greek Housing Market

To revive the ailing housing market, the Greek government has recently offered residence to non-EU investors purchasing worth over €250,000. The residence plan, which is similar to measures adopted by Hungary, Spain and Portugal, is valid for five years and open to renewal.

Mr. Kosta Kioleoglou who is a Tegova Certified Expert Property Valuer and holds a masters degree in civil engineering from the National Technical University of Athens and who is also the chief property strategist at T Taylor Scott International says..."Property demand in Greece remains depressed. For the First 2 quarters of 2013 residential real estate transactions in Greece fell in number, volume, and value. Just in the first quarter of 2013, the total number of residential real estate transactions plummeted by 24.5% to 4,976 from the same period last year. "



According to the Bank of Greece and independently verified by Taylor Scott International in May 2013, the total amount of outstanding housing loans in Greece dropped 4.9% to €72.56 billion from the same period last year.

Greece continues to endure double-digit year-on-year house price declines, with the Greek economy facing its sixth year of recession. It is expected to contract by another 4.2% during 2013.

In the Greek capital of Athens, the average price of apartments plunged by 12.6% (-12.6% inflation-adjusted) during the year to end-Q1 2013, according to the Bank of Greece. During the latest quarter, i.e., quarter-on-quarter during Q1 2013, house prices in Athens fell by 2.6% (-0.6% inflation-adjusted).

Taylor Scott International research shows all cities experienced house price falls:

In Thessaloniki, the second largest city, house prices dropped 8.3% (-8.2% inflation-adjusted) y-o-y in Q1 2013. House prices fell 1.2% during the latest quarter (which means that they rose by 0.9% in inflation-adjusted terms).

In “all other cities”, residential property prices plunged 11% (-11% inflation-adjusted) during the year to Q1 2013. Quarter-on-quarter, house prices dropped 2.9% (-0.9% inflation-adjusted).

In “all other areas”, house prices fell by 10.9% (-10.9% inflation-adjusted) y-o-y in Q1 2013. In a quarterly basis, house prices dropped 0.7% (+1.4% inflation-adjusted) in Q1 2013.

Taylor Scott International calculates that residential property prices in Athens have been falling since 2008, mainly due to the adverse effects of the global economic and financial meltdown.

In 2008, residential property prices fell by 0.77% (-3.57% inflation-adjusted)
In 2009, house prices fell by 4.21% (-6.04% inflation-adjusted)
In 2010, house prices dropped 5.83% (-10.4% inflation-adjusted)
In 2011, residential property prices plunged 8% (-10.49% inflation-adjusted)
In 2012, house prices plummeted by 13.1% (-14.08% inflation-adjusted)

Taylor Scott International’s Guide to buying a property in Greece..

According to Taylor Scott International some people like Greece; most people love it. Yes, it’s steeped in history and has stunning scenery and beaches, but it’s the people, their friendship and generosity, that make visitors fall so in love with the place that they return time and again, before buying a holiday home or relocating entirely.

The Greek debt crisis on our screens last year has created an unfairly poor impression, and, in reality, although the Greek population is suffering under the austerity measures, the effect on the already simple Mediterranean lifestyle on the islands that draws second-home owners is generally yet to be seen and tourism on the islands remains strong.

The recession has seen off the building of large holiday home developments and also produced some great bargains if you can pay cash. Taylor Scott International reports a shift away from second-home owners towards the 55-plus age group seeking a permanent move, others are buying with a very long-term view.
Property hot spots in Greece by Taylor Scott international...

Hundreds of Greek islands vary in look, price, accessibility and weather.

Taylor Scott International Coverage of Bulgarian Property Market

Taylor Scott International  says all signs are pointing to upwards momentum for the Bulgarian property market, with a new report from Bulgarian National Television indicating a rise in sales. Real estate agents claim transactions have increased by 20 per cent this summer compared to 2012, econ.bg reported. Interest is particularly high in the luxury market, it has been claimed, with the southern part of Sofia and the foot of the Vitosha mountain particularly popular during the holiday season.

This comes after the Bulgarian National Bank reported property transactions increasing by 29,641 year-on-year during the first six months of 2013. Standard reported that during the first half of the year (H1) there were 109,636 real estate deals, up from the 79,995 recorded in the same period in 2012. Increased domestic activity is helping to drive this trend.



However Taylor Scott International  research show that property purchases financed through mortgage loans are falling in the country. It seems Bulgaria is increasingly becoming a cash market, with confidence in banks low. In May 2013, bank deposits of Bulgarians decreased by BGN 12.4 million compared to April. This is the first time this has happened since September 2010 and reflects disillusionment with the financial sector as interest rates fall. A new tax on savings has also caused people to move away from traditional banking options.

Yet according to Taylor Scott International  the appetite for investment doesn’t seem to be too dented in the country, with Varna, Burgas, Plovdiv, Stara Zagora and Blagoevgrad reaping the benefits of increased property purchases.  Taylor Scott International’s overseas buyers are also focusing their attention on the Black Sea coast. Sofia’s Nadezhda residential district is expected to be popular too, thanks to improved local infrastructure, econ.bg reported.

Taylor Scott International  has two-bedroom apartments that are the most in-demand, which make ideal holiday let opportunities. Prices vary between €500 and €1000 per square metre depending on location and property type. Values remain stable, however, with brokers telling Standart that the market has already bottomed out. This has allowed Bulgaria to start to turn things around.

Real estate prices continue to remain reasonable too, Taylor Scott International  research shows that  H1′s pleasing performance unsurprising for many. Brokers told the newspaper that the market has already bottomed out and things are beginning to turn around.
