Hi Everyone,
I have been regular follower of your posts and guess now time has come that I should ask you expert advice on the below deal. I would be more than happy if you can tell me merits/demerits with objective mindset:
1. The seller is asking Rs 35lacs for 1180 sqft -2BHK at Land craft river heights - RTM all inclusive.
2. This includes 1 covered car parking, 2 two wheeler parking and 2nd Floor
3. Only registry charges have to be borne by me + no wood work so have to spend 2-3 lacs over and above for just wood work.
4. Therefore including all of the prices and extra furnishings, I have to spend 40 lacs for this RTM 2BHK flat at River Heights in RNE.
My only preference is that it should be ready to move in so that I can shift my stuff and society/flat is worth of amount of money spent. Also it should be RNE as prices are still in my budget.
So I want to ask :
a. Whether this is worth a deal and should I go ahead?
b. What are the prevailing prices of RTM flat in RNE (in river heights or otherwise in different societies)
c. Is there any scope of bargain or negotiation which I can do with the seller.
d. Any issues like water logging, road side huge noise pollution, law and order, electricity, maintenance, power backup , security guards, etc
e. If not this river heights, then which society I should look at (in terms of better environment, construction, value for money)
f. And last but not the least, can I eliminate the broker in between? For that matter, bu any chance can I contact the direct sellers through any means.
your inputs will be highly valuable and will help me to save some bucks atleast
Sorry for spamming, I have post it in different threads so you can reply at one place only. thanks

Rajnagar Residency
Can anybody please suggest me about "Rajnagar Residency"?
I am getting a deal of Rs. 2500 psf all inclusive on first floor with waiting period of 30 months + 6 months grace period.
I have no time constraint but i am not really confident about builder.
Any kind of help is appreciated regarding your suggestions about this society.
|June 11 2012, 11:16 AM
Do you have any idea of rental value of the flat you are planning to buy?
In my opinion, if ROI (Rent on investment) is 4% or more its a nice invetment.
i.e. if you get a rent of 15K on the total invetment(including wood work, registration) of 45 Lac it will be 4% annual returns.
For some localities even 3% is good ( Rent 10K on flat costing 40 Lac).
So if a property gives you the ROI less than 3% you sould think a bit.

Could you clarify:
1. Is there any inventory left in 2 BHK in C/D towers except top floors? KDP person told me only E&F towers have some options 8th floor onwards.
2. Can an under construction flat in KDP be sold to a third party? Does the builder allow?
3. Any 3BHK inventory in KDP except top floors?

Hi Amit
35 lakhs is around 3000 per sq feet. This is good consdering that curent under constructuction societies are charging anything between 2600-3200. You are getting a ready to move property without any delays and tensions. Further, since River Heights was one of the first societies where people started living the society is now better in terms occupancy and all amenities functioning.
|June 11 2012, 04:43 PM
the only issue perhaps is that River Heights has not so good reputation / perception in terms of construction quality and I have heard that the society is 7ft below the main road and in rainy season this has created quite an havoc.
I don't know about you but spending additional 5-7 lakhs over a soon to be ready to move (SVP, Classic Res etc), I would not be comfortable with that. Have you tried looking for anything in Ashiana Palm Court. That's one project i would spend happily on !

New Water Product for Dry Eyes on Amazon.com
Nature's Tears EyeMist for Dry Eye and Eye Allergy Relief
Grants Pass, OR (PRWEB) September 14, 2011
Sharon Kleyne, international water advocate and Founder of the Bio-Logic Aqua Water Research Center, is pleased to announce that Nature's Tears EyeMist, her company's breakthrough product for dry eyes and eye allergies, is now available on Amazon.com.
"Amazon.com is an ideal venue for Nature's Tears EyeMist, which is in the forefront of a new kind of water business," explains Mrs. Kleyne. "Amazon.com is open 24 hours a day and has a global outreach. Nature's Tears EyeMist fits extremely well with Amazon's commitment to innovative products and green marketing. The product is 100% water and 100% environmentally safe, friendly and all-natural, with no artificial ingredients or harmful propellants."
Nature's Tears EyeMist contains only the company's trade secret, "Bio-Logic Aqua all-natural tissue culture grade water." The bio-compatible, pH correct water naturally humidifies dry eyes and soothes eye allergies. Formulated eye drops do not add moisture to dry, dehydrated eyes.
"The global water business," Mrs. Kleyne observes, "has always been dominated by beverage and European spa waters. Bio-Logic Aqua Research, an American company, is the first to take the water business in an entirely new direction to meet changing health and water requirements in an increasingly crowded, polluted and drying world. Nature's Tears EyeMist is our best seller and signature product."
Nature's Tears EyeMist is available in thousands of drugstores nationwide. This all-natural, personal hand-held device humidifies the air in front of the eyes, which the tear film naturally absorbs. The mist contains the correct natural solute content, pH balance and osmolarity to increase tear film water content to alleviate dry eye and eye allergies. Endorsed by ophthalmologists, optometrists, pharmacists and dry eye researchers around the world, this American product received a United States patent in April, 2009 as the first of its kind to describe misting the eyes and tear film with water to soothe dry eyes.
Nature's Tears EyeMist is available at Amazon.com under "Health & Personal Care > Personal Care > Eye Care > Eye Drops, Lubricants & Washes."
Bio-Logic Aqua Research, which bottles Nature's Tears EyeMist, was founded by Sharon Kleyne in Grants Pass, Oregon, two decades ago, out of concern for the health effects of water, pollution, climate change and dry air.
"The number one global environmental threat to health," Mrs. Kleyne explains, "is that the air we breathe is becoming too dry. Our 'breath of life' is endangered. Everyone knows the air is polluted and dirty but few realize that as a result, the air is losing its life-giving clean water (humidity)."
"I am excited about Amazon.com and the new business of water," Mrs. Kleyne adds. "With Amazon's assistance, my company's personal hand-held water misting devices could empower every individual to provide their own instant humidity supplement for dry eyes, eye allergies and dry skin, regardless of how dirty or dry the air."
"Earth will always change," she concludes, "and for life to survive for eternity, we must learn to adapt to the changes. In the current global environment, with Amazon's help, it is realistic to predict that Bio-Logic Aqua's business of water products such as nature's Tears EyeMist will one day be as indispensable as drinking water, clothing, sunscreen and lip balm."

AARP: Scripps top employer for workers 50+
Over 50 and looking for a good place to work? Try Scripps Health.
The nonprofit company, which operates five hospitals in the county, was named AARP's 2011 Best Employer for Workers Over 50 today.
This is the first year a California employer has made the national honor since the advocacy organization founded the award in 2001. Coming in second this year was Cornell University; the National Institutes of Health was third.
The Scripps Health system — five hospitals and about 20 clinics and medical offices in San Diego County — employs more than 13,000 people, 36 percent of them over age 50.
Winners "consistently recognize the value of and have demonstrated exemplary policies for older workers," said Jean Setzfand, AARP's vice president for financial security. "These companies and institutions deserve to be honored after their years of progressive practices that both meet the needs of mature workers and benefit their organizations."
AARP praised Scripps for its recruitment, retention and promotion of older workers and emphasized the company's commitment to offering them the same educational training and scholarship programs as younger employees.
AARP's 2011 Best Employers for Workers Over 50
1 - Scripps Health, California
2 - Cornell University, New York
3 - National Institutes of Health, Maryland
4 - First Horizon National Corp., Tennessee
5 - West Virginia University
Key award criteria
• Training, education, career opportunities
• Alternative work options
• Job sharing, phased retirement
• Health and retirement benefits
• Retiree work opportunities
• Recruiting practices
More information
Visit the AARP website.
The top 10 best employers will be profiled in the November issue of "AARP The Magazine."
How Scripps employees benefit
Sharron Sieber, 65, and Anita Porter, 71, plan to keep working because of Scripps' alternative work programs.
Karen Eisenhart, 54, bikes to work each day and benefits financially from the Scripps wellness program.
Christine Maciulla, 60, earned a master's degree last year with help from Scripps scholarships.
About 36 percent of Scripps' 13,000 employees are age 50 and older.
"Scripps in particular had a very strong training and development program," said Michael Herndon, AARP's manager for financial security.
AARP also singled out Scripps for alternative work programs such as flexible schedules and phased retirement, a wellness program that rewards participants with free health insurance premiums, a generous retirement package and an employee alumni network that provides a route for re-employment.
Last year, Scripps rehired 198 former workers, including 58 age 50 or older.
"We are very proud of AARP's selection of Scripps as No. 1 in the country," said Chris Van Gorder, chief executive at Scripps. "We value all of our employees and each person provides enormous value to our organization and patients regardless of age. But there is something special about our more senior members of the team as they can bring both education and experience to the job."
Scripps Health has been among AARP's top five honorees three times but this is its first win. Applicants in the annual competition are scrutinized by AARP's legal office and by a 12-judge panel of independent private-sector, nonprofit, and government labor experts.
Vic Buzachero, Scripps senior vice president for human resources, said that keeping older employees on staff, providing tools for them to stay fit professionally and personally, and helping them prepare for retirement makes good business sense.

Village Earth plan gains ground | POLL
TIF deal key to Warrick tourist site
INDIANAPOLIS - Developers are dreaming of turning a desolate piece of reclaimed strip-mined ground in northern Warrick County into a bustling tourist destination that offers a mix of educational and entertainment possibilities.
For such a project to take root, though, they need to convince a skeptical Indiana General Assembly to help.
A development team wants to build a nonprofit, combination indoor/outdoor educational facility that would include a museum and an aquarium called Village Earth and surround that facility with hotels, retail shops, movie theaters and other attractions.
To pay for the educational portion, they propose siphoning off about $150 million in sales tax revenue over the next 25 years from its for-profit surroundings. But before that can happen, the developers must win approval of a Tax Increment Finance district.
The project's key supporter in the Legislature is Rep. Russ Stilwell, a Boonville Democrat who is House majority leader.
Stilwell's argument is that advancing Village Earth's financing plan is the best way to make something out of nothing in a 272-acre piece of land near the Blue Grass Fish and Wildlife Area and within the new Interstate 69 corridor.
"There will never be sales tax captured from that area" without the project, he said. "There's no infrastructure. It's in the middle of nowhere."
The House Ways and Means Committee endorsed the proposal on a 21-3 vote Wednesday afternoon.
"It creates commerce and tourism and education, all wrapped up in one," said Rep. Suzanne Crouch, R-Evansville. "We have an opportunity to create jobs without costing the state any money, and in fact creating revenue for this state. In these tough economic times, we need to look at things a little differently, a little more creatively."
Stilwell said he's almost certain the proposal will pass through the Democratic-ledHouse. Its fate in the Republican-led Senate is less clear.
Developers estimate the overall project cost at $152 million. To pay off the bonds they'd need, they would receive 80 percent of the sales tax revenue from surrounding venues for a 25-year period. The remaining 20 percent would go to the state.
The legislator who supporters must win over is Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Luke Kenley, R-Noblesville, who said Wednesday evening that he generally considers TIF districts unsavory. He wasn't swayed over by claims that such an attraction creates new sales tax revenue where none currently exists.
"What you get into is, if people are spending consumption dollars there, then how many consumption dollars does that take out of places like Evansville?" he said. One hundred percent of the money spent there, he noted, would go to the state.
"This year, when we've had so many budget difficulties, it's hard to give up your sales tax revenue," Kenley said.
He said there have been more than 50 requests for sales tax increment finance districts over the last decade or so, and "we've always turned them down because what it does is, it captures sales tax dollars that would normally flow through the state."
Advocates have pushed the Warrick County development project for years. Initially, lawmakers balked, finding the idea too unlikely to ever come to fruition. But this year, the team brought a more complete pitch, with a 41-page booklet detailing what they hope to build and how they plan to pay for it.
One of the project's leaders, Jonathan Reinsdorf of Chicago-based Stonegate Development Partners, LLC, is the son of Chicago Bulls and Chicago White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf.
The younger Reinsdorf predicted the facility would draw tourists from several states, since there are no aquariums within a three-hour radius of the proposed location.
"It's innovative. There's never been anything like this," he said.
Ways and Means Vice Chairman Scott Pelath, D-Michigan City, said with Reinsdorf on board, he is now more confident in the proposal.
"From the very beginning, I wouldn't have given it a snowball's chance," he said. "But as time has gone on, I see how this has really grown in credibility."
If lawmakers approve the TIF, the project will need to gain local-level approval on several stages.
Warrick County Commissioner Art Noffsinger said he thinks it will have no trouble. Noffsinger said the proposed location is perfect, since it would be visible from the new I-69 and is also near Interstate 64.
"The communities around this area would benefit greatly by having this development," he said.

NYX Cosmetics NYX HD Primer Reviews
A Superb, Lightweight Primer!Facial primers and I don't seem too mesh very well. I do love Benefit's "Primed and Poreless" and DHC's "Velvet Coat," but "Smashbox" was heavy and basically a disaster on me. I like NYX Cosmetics, and for $15.00, their "HD Studio Photogenic Primer" was hard to resist. Applause, applause yet again for NYX! This very silky, lightweight liquid has a faint green tint to it. It blends in effortle...read moressly and seamlessly. You don't "feel" anything on your skin. But pores, fine lines, and discolorations are disguised with this matte formula. Powder or liquid foundations apply like a breeze over it and last from morning until late night, keeping you looking fresh and lovely. — 2 years agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

Too perfumey......I had high expectations for this primer since my cousin recommended this. I was surprise to find that this was more of a lotion than a primer. I was used to primers being a clear silky formula and expected this to be the same too but it's not. I thought the fragrance was way too overpowering for me. I didn't like it one bit. The formula goes on white and dries quick once you blend it out. I liked ...read morethat my makeup stayed matte and lasted all day but I would have to return this since the fragrance just totally killed it for me and the formula wasn't as silky as I thought it was going to be. — 1 year, 3 months agolesliepha | 269 reviews

Looove this!This is probably my favorite primer. For my skin, I need a primer that isn't going to make my skin all greasy before I even put foundation on. This primer gets rid of oiliness and dries out the skin - in a good way! It's HD so it is supposed to be good for taking photos or being in certain lighting. That part I think is true too, although I haven't seriously compared it to other primers. I think it is definitely worth the couple extra bucks compared to other cheaper primers. — 3 years, 9 months agolovepinkhun | 50 reviews
