I think the Olympics are FIXED. Do you?
Filed Under Air Fares | 7 Comments
It is my opinion, that in some way or another, by some one or group of ‘extremely’ rich individuals, the games are FIXED. There is something seriously wrong with the judging and the events themselves. Just three example, of the many, are:
Michael Phelps did NOT win that 7th gold medal. I don’t care what the electronic timing pad said; I don’t care what they claim; I don’t care what they keep on saying. He did NOT win that race. Some ‘powers-that-be’ WANTED him to win that race, and that’s all there is to it. The electronic pad may have been tampered with. I have played, and played, and replayed that race in regular time and slow motion ’till I’ve worn out the tape, and there is no way he won that race.
Another example is in women’s gymnastics. During the final vault, a young girl, representing the United States, did a perfect exercise, with only one tiny step on the landing. When the Chinese girl did her vault it was good too, but she actually ‘fell’ over onto her knees and arms when she landed. The result of this was that the Chinese contestant got a ‘much higher’ score than the American. What the **** is that all about?
Yet another example is during the synchronized women’s diving. When the Americans did their dive, they were in perfect sync from start to finish. When the Chinese girls dove, just as they jumped on the board one had her left leg up while the other had her right leg up. They were OUT of sync, and yet ‘no one’ noticed, and again, they received a much higher score than the USA. I caught it when I played it back in slow motion. Even the TV commentator did not see it. What the hell is that?
Now, on the news this morning there is this big controversy that one of the Chinese girls that won in gymnastics was under age and actually only 14 years old. Of course the Chinese claim not, but it just furthers my feelings on this whole thing.
Maybe I’m full of it and don’t know what I’m talking about, but there’s something screwy going on. I realize, of course, that other countries, including China, have great athletes that ARE better than some of those from the US, but come on, fare is fare and right is right and just is just and truth is truth. I also have a feeling that these goings-on could also have something to do with the fact that since China is hosting the games they don’t want to lose face, sooooooo.
I don’t know. I just don’t like dishonesty, especially when it comes to something that’s SUPPOSED to be as wholesome as the Olympic Games. And, I feel there is something ‘dishonest’ going on here.

Is Buying Hotel Rooms Right for You? Five Reasons Why it Might be
Filed Under Hotels | Leave a Comment
Buy to let hotel rooms, apart-hotels or condo-hotels, call them what you will but the concept is incredibly simple. Hotel and resort developers offer individual investors the chance to buy hotel rooms within a high-end development. The investor sees an annual income from room rentals, benefits from capital growth and can even make use of the hotel room as a perfect holiday destination complete with all the benefits of a top-class hotel.
So if you’re considering a property investment, overseas or closer to home, could a buy to let hotel room be the right option for you? Well, here are five good reasons why it might be:
Buy to let hotel rooms can help reduce your exposure to risk
When you invest in a buy to let hotel room, your investment is less in the room but in the success of the hotel as a whole. Generally, buy to let suites and hotel rooms are pooled together so that you earn a percentage of the room rates across the hotel, not just on your own room. A single investment property may lie empty for months at a time, meaning lost revenues, but hotel rooms attract guests all year round.
Buy to let hotel rooms offer a low initial investment – and a decent return
When it comes to investing in any property, current markets can make it incredibly difficult to access the finance you need. These problems are only compounded when the property you want to invest in is overseas. When it comes to buying a hotel room, the developers and agents will likely have negotiated with a bank in advance to help prospective buyers along – the banks are often more willing to invest in the security of these types of developments run by experienced developers and management teams.
Indeed, the current troubles in the housing markets can actually be an advantage to savvy investors considering whether or not to buy hotel rooms. A buyers market often means help from the developer with fees and other out of pocket expenses. For example, the high-end hotel and spa development in the Portuguese resort of Sesimbra is attracting huge interest with investment levels starting from as little as 3% – with the developer paying all closing fees (which is around 10% of purchase price in Portugal). They are even offering 7% cash back to investors who’s deposits are received before the 15th of November, 2008.
When you buy hotel rooms, you benefit from capital appreciation and a regular income
Like any buy to let property investment, buy to let hotel rooms offer both a regular income and the potential for capital growth. Unlike buying a single, one-off property, buying hotel rooms can generally provide a greater degree of security. Whereas your property might lie vacant while you search for tenants or holidaymakers, high-end hotel rooms will always be popular with everything from overseas tourists to ‘locals’ on a weekend break. Traditionally, high-end hotel rooms will also generate a higher rental per night than stand-alone holiday lets or buy to let options. That means returns in the region of 10% or more can be achieved at even 50% occupancy rates. How much would you earn if your buy to let property were vacant 26 weeks of the year?
When you buy hotel rooms, someone else manages all the day-to-day hassle
Perhaps the biggest attraction of buy to let hotel rooms is the fact that an experienced and professional team is in charge of everything from the finish and furnishings of the rooms to fixing the broken toilets. Buy to let owners will happily pay management companies a hefty percentage to look after the day to day needs of their properties – when you buy hotel rooms, that service is built in. Experienced management means existing contacts with travel agents and tour operators, it means tried and tested marketing methods and extensive marketing budgets. It also means as an investor you’ll never get a call from an irate neighbour or disgruntled tenant. If fact, it’s the perfect option for hands off investors who’d prefer to enjoy the benefits and leave the hard work to someone else.
When you buy hotel rooms you enjoy the benefits of a beautiful holiday home – if you need it
And perhaps the most enjoyable of those benefits is being able to access your buy to let hotel room for your own private use throughout the year. Whether it’s a short weekend break to escape the stresses of the working week or the annual family holiday, buying a hotel room delivers more tangible benefits than any savings account could.
And If you don’t require personal use of your room? Then buy to let hotel rooms are ideal for purchase via SIPPs – giving you tax-free capital growth and earnings.

How Do Buy to Let Hotel Rooms Compare to Traditional Property Investments?
Filed Under Hotels | Leave a Comment
Of course, the idea that you can buy hotel rooms sounds glamorous but how do buy to let hotel developments compare with traditional overseas property investments?
If you’re thinking about investing in property overseas then there are probably a few things on your wish list. A manageable investment level, a hands off project, an excellent return on investment and possibly a magical destination that you’ll want to visit year after year will all be important.
Of course, with the current economic climate, you’ll also want a secure and safe investment that is likely to ride out the property downturn.
It’s not that surprising then that one of the more recent features of the overseas property market – buy to let hotel rooms – is continuing to grow despite the doom and gloom elsewhere. Almost unheard of ten years ago, buying a hotel room is being seen as an ideal way for private investors to limit their personal exposure and still enjoy the income benefits and potential capital growth.
So how, exactly, can you buy hotel rooms?
Buying a hotel suite is not that different to traditional buy to let property investments. A hotel developer will sell a number of rooms, suites and apartments within the hotel to private investors. As business travelers and tourists book the rooms, the developer pays out a percentage of the room rates back to the investors.
Investors who buy hotel suites get a ‘hands off’ investment where an experienced hotel management team handle everything from marketing to maintenance. Financially, buy to let hotel developments can deliver both capital appreciation and regular income with returns in the region of 10%+ from income alone being regularly achieved. Of course, when you buy hotel rooms there’s always an added bonus to consider – free and discounted stays in a high-end hotel.
So how do they compare with other overseas property investments?
Buy to let hotel developments can help minimise risk.
The way in which hotel developments offset individual risk is one of the biggest attractions for investors keen to buy hotel rooms. Buying an overseas property to let out brings with it one big risk – not being able to let the apartment or villa you buy.
When you buy hotel rooms, the returns are not based on the particular suite you purchase but rather the success of the entire hotel. An occupancy rate of just 50 – 60% would normally be enough to deliver a solid return on a buy to let hotel room.
You can buy hotel rooms as part of a SIPP or other personal pension investment.
Usually when you buy hotel rooms, one of the perks is free or heavily discounted stays at the hotel. If you don’t need personal use of the hotel though, buy to let hotel rooms can be perfect for buying via self-invested personal pensions (SIPPs).
If you buy hotel rooms through a SIPP you will benefit from tax free capital growth and earnings. In fact, your SIPP can own an individual hotel room or even share in several through a syndicated arrangement.
Many people buy hotel rooms for a hassle free investment.
From fixing the broken toilet to choosing the curtains, traditional buy to let investment properties come with their own set of headaches. Investors usually get around this by paying for a management company to keep an eye on things and take bookings.
With buy to let hotel room investments, everything from marketing to maintenance is a part of the package from the start. Experienced hotel management companies ensure the highest quality standards in everything from customer care to the furnishings in the rooms.
Buy to let hotel rooms offer a solid return on your investment.
As the last 12 months have shown, investing in property can be a harrowing experience. Falling property prices have created the ultimate buyers market, but unfortunately, no one can be sure when, or even if, property price increases will return to their pre-crisis strength. An overseas property today could actually fall in value before things get better.
This is perhaps the biggest reason for the rise in popularity of buy to let hotel rooms. The option to buy a hotel room should be considered less of an investment in property and more of an investment in the tourism of the region – with the benefits of property appreciation thrown in for good measure. Even as overseas tourist numbers ebb, the growing number of people taking their holidays in their home country tends to pick up a lot of the slack. High-end hotels also benefit from the conventions, conferences, weddings and other events that they host throughout the year.
No investment is free from risk, but for people considering an overseas property investment, buying a hotel room could offer just the right balance between reduced risk and potential for growth.
