Parameters to Be Estimated There are various classes of factors that are relevant for real estate management and these have been classified in Chapter 5. The process by which all these factors affect the price of a particular real estate property can be very complex. Nevertheless one is required to forecast the price of a property from time to time. If one assumes that the actual price of a property ultimately reflects the combination of all these factors then one can consider prices of a property as the resultant time series process. As we have seen in Chapter 4, the hybrid model for forecasting price of a particular real estate property describes this process very well. However, one still needs to be sure whether the decision made based on the application of this hybrid model is robust. This requires the study of all qualitative tangible factors that are desirable to be considered....

...illegal behavior is to adopt a code of conduct. The code of conduct is contingent upon the industry in which a company operates, but no matter what industry that is, the organization must recognize the laws pertaining to them and ensure that all employees are in compliance. I’m seeking to establish a code of conduct for my property management company. The property management industry is closely related to the real estate industry because it usually involves the purchase of commercial or residential real estate. The property or properties are usually occupied by tenants who require its owners to maintain their investment and to ensure tenant relations are given considerable attention. Property managers can be owners of the properties they manage or act as third-party managers for owners of real estate properties. Third-party management groups are paid based on a management fee charged to the owner for maintaining the upkeep of the property, employee and tenant relations. Property management groups are also responsible for providing the owners and/or investors with accurate financial information in relationship to how the property or properties are performing. Due to the fact that this a customer/client oriented business, it is very important to establish a code of conduct that clearly defines how this company should act and what they are responsible for doing.

...Financing Residential property The country’s mortgage practices are based on promissory notes. In this case, real estate developers give a written promise to repay their loans and as a result, they receive funding from financial institutions. This is guided by the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 in its Section 4. Both domestic and foreign investors in India have the qualifications that they must meet in order to receive loans. In general terms, one is required to be over 21 years of age. For foreigners, they should not be over 60 years (Palande et al. 41). Other requirements depend on individual financial institutions. There are no specified mortgage rates. For instance, the rates depend on the financial institutions and the policies that they have in place. The rates for women, for instance, are lower than that of men. However, the rates range between 10 % and 11 %. The rates for foreign investors are also higher when compared to the domestic borrowers. Essentially, the primary market is concerned with raising fresh capital in form of debentures and shares. In India, this market is crucial as it accelerates economic and industrial development. Secondary market, on the other hand, refers to the market where the securities that were issued previously are bought and sold. This can only be achieved through stock exchange mediums.
