Go to Perth its booming there

Dear CMY and other respected members:
I am living in Dubai and i have elegibility to get loan up to AED 1M (eqv. to PRs.2.5 coror)@ 6.5% p.a. Please advise if it is good to take loan and invest in property in DHA etc.

ua replied on Sunday, August 12, 2012 04:49 AM PST 

No. You are also taking currency risk. Rupee devaluing is also going to hurt you big time. What you are speculating is that the DHA property that you invest in is going to increase by more than 6.5% in AED. i.e. its rate will double in AED in next 10 years. PKR will depreciate and will be half of its current value against AED by then if current trend continues so you are speculating that in PKR, property value will increase 4 times in next 10 years. If that happens, you will break even with your investment. If it increases more than 4 times, only then you will start to earn profit. If it was with your own ready money instead of a loan, it might have been a different thing but while it is possible that it may prove to be a good investment but keep in mind that you will be taking too big a risk.

ZND replied on Sunday, August 12, 2012 05:28 AM PST 

@Advice.
Please dont take loan and invest, very risky. Currency deval is going to haunt you, interest will haunt you. If you want to invest use your own money.

adeel replied on Sunday, August 12, 2012 02:25 PM PST 

don,t commit this blunder

zaheer replied on Sunday, August 12, 2012 02:40 PM PST 

If u take the loan and construct a house then this is a good idea.Becoz construction cost is increasing day by day and by this way u can get good profit.

flex-01 replied on Sunday, August 12, 2012 03:17 PM PST 

Apart from the reasons above. suppose, u take a loan today, and after 6 months or i year, your job is gone, then u r in big trouble, as it would be difficult for you to rapy, and the bnak may impse a ban on you to leave UAE.

DollarMan replied on Sunday, August 12, 2012 03:32 PM PST 

ufff man i think every one above has already given you good advise! but didn't u look at the dhiram trend for the last five years??? due too the rupee devaluation dhiram has done better than property investment in pakistan! now this is without considering the 6.5% loan! with this investment this would seem like a crary investment!

ksa replied on Sunday, August 12, 2012 06:03 PM PST 

It is very good option but invest in Canada buy a property and rent it out no fear for devaluation (if there is any it will be in your favour)250K $ you can get two nice apartment and you can get rent of 2000$ net into your pocket Now you can pay the loan interest and the remaining is your saving(=35000DHS per year)

A R Khan replied on Sunday, August 12, 2012 08:05 PM PST 

What kind of person qualifies for a loan of such amount and asks such a question.
It is better he kills himself before taking loan.

ua replied on Monday, August 13, 2012 02:17 AM PST 

ksa bhai, in Canada, you can get loan at 3% if you have good credit. Properties there are priced according to that. Buying it with rate of 6.5% does not make for a good investment.

imranshah939 replied on Monday, August 13, 2012 01:40 PM PST 

never do this kind of mistake i am also a victim of this blunder i thought the same way but the property price increased very slowly while the rupee got devalued at a greater pace. i lost a big amout due to this. please think thousand time before doing this.

Mircle of Pakistani Engineer : Car runs on Water

See complete one hour documentary on GEO programme of Capital Talk hoisted by Hamid Mir. Where, an engineer Agha Waqar has invented a water kit to run combustion engines which can run car, generator or motor cycle.

Nadeem replied on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 12:18 AM PST 

WEST would not allow Pakistan to introduce such thing... which will damage their sales. And Pakistan Govt will say OK!

Hubulwatan replied on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 12:32 AM PST 

What do you need to the WEST for? Just mass produce the kit and run with it.

I am as much of a nationalist as the next guy, but half of these trumpeted claims of major inventions are delusional and false. Propaganda to shore up our false pride.

kk replied on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 02:25 AM PST 

it is not invented by him...its easy to make people fool in pakistan even TV anchors ..it is old technology ..hydrogen is a fuel is not viable to use it in cars up till now...to break water molecule continuous electric supply is required for electrolysis...which is expensive in itself and petrol becomes cheaper

kk replied on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 02:26 AM PST 

WATER is more precious than petrol

A R Khan replied on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 04:01 AM PST 

kk. Save your breath. You are trying to teach jahils who don't even know how to wash their backsides.

info replied on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 06:46 AM PST 

Its very scary. The water will become Rs.100/- per litre in Pakistan.

CMY replied on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 07:00 AM PST 

Water run car was invented in US in 1930s. There was a patent issued on it too. Like KK sahib said its not economical till today to convert water to HHO to save money. There are many $200 kits available in US and homemade kit can be made very easly but no one use them yet as energy cost more to breakdown water into fuel.

CMY replied on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 11:58 AM PST 

I saw his other program too last week.
See all his programs links here

http://www.awaztoday.com/News-Talk-Shows/25740/Agha-Waqar-Ahmed-Proved-that-Water-can-be-used-instead-of-a-fuel-in-a-Car.aspx

http://www.awaztoday.com/News-Talk-Shows/25812/Capital-Talk-30th-July-2012.aspx




He answers were satisfactory in last week program KYUN BUT in today program he show you just a bottle with wire to make HHO. That bottle dont cost Rs 40000.It cant be.Water to HHO making kit cant cost more than $100. He must be talking about full price of a full kit that may include CNG like kit to convert (any non CNG converted) engine to run on HHO. Today he used an already CNG installed kit that also run on HHO generated by his secret methos to cheaply covert water to HHO for burning as a fuel.

His work should be very appreciated and further looked into it in detail. I am sure going to research it lot more. If we can convert water to HHO in very low cost like he says he can from very low current used from car battery.With large current use you can make huge amount of HHO to run our all home stoves. We can make drinking water for salt water. We can run buses trains electric power stations on it.

Comment replied on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 12:15 PM PST 

Too good to be true. If it is true than the guy and the car should be given police protection from the Patrol mafia and the multi trillion dollar world feul business groups.

Please try to understand if it is true. This eng will be vanish by now.because he will change the dynamics of the world. The whole world economies will collapse. In other words this man can create his own new world order.

I dont wanna go deep inside this discussion i.e. whether it is possible as well feasible. To prove a system there are 3 basic steps which are:
1. Test
2. Development
3. Production

The engineer should go ahead and prove it. For the first 2 steps he can find enough resources & test objects in Pakistan.

Zaheer replied on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 05:06 PM PST 

That is why all investors are running from Pakistan and nobody want to come to invest. Because all nation is becoming enemy of those who are doing good and standard work.Even this nation do not know the facts that who is right.They are not deeply analyzing the facts and abt some people always they think thieves and some gods only.

imranshah939 replied on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 06:43 PM PST 

i do not think anything will happen with this man, our zardari govet is getting a huge percentage from IPPS and all foreign oil companys. they cannot go for cheap means of power. this person will be in the news untill media will keep him in the news only

UAE replied on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 06:58 PM PST 

i have seen this program on geo yesterday, but still i cannot believe that only water can be used to power the car, the problem is that when you break water in oxygen and hydrogen you need energy to break this bond. Again on burning this hydrogen you are combining it with oxygen to produce energy, so the total amount of energy remains the same, where from the extra energy comes to power the car.
H2O + ENERGY -> H2 + O -> H2O - ENERGY
i have done some research on internet and a japanese company genepex is claiming that they have already made such a car. i dont understand that if they have made such a car then why on earth they are buying oil from uae :)))))))))))))

Bilal replied on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 11:51 PM PST 

In Pakistan, everybody is a philosopher and a critic.

We are best at demotivating others, criticizing others and love to comment on each and everything even if we havent got a clue.

We just LOVE to HATE each other and never fail to find reasons outta religion, sectorian or political differences. and best of all never miss a chance to PULL THE LEG of others.

Spread as much pessimism as we can to push our country further into this chaos of illiteracy, intolerance and complete ignorance.

Guys, chill yeah.. if you can't do a thing just dont start judgin others.

Whether this guy has done a good thing or not, leave it to experts to decide, their are wiser and technical people looking into this matter. So don't you worry, you haven't paid a penny for this experiment are not asked to either.

If you can't appreciate a step forward, whether it sees the ultimate success or not, just don't mind poking ur nose of negativity inside.

Chill, yeah!

OPF Phase-1 Extension

I am an OPF member. Please advise whether investment in OPF Phase-1 Extension Lahore will be fruitful in future. Further kinly guide abou the current rates at OPF Phase-1 Lahore.

Irfan replied on Sunday, June 3, 2012 01:45 PM PST 

Any one can also share the exact location of phase-1 extension. Is this behind phase-1 ?

jk replied on Sunday, June 3, 2012 02:26 PM PST 

OPF the worst organization of Pakistan and it is surprising we have Innocent friend who still consider it.

Habib replied on Sunday, June 3, 2012 02:37 PM PST 

Price is OK , Location is OK it near old OPF 1 and Near Valencia, In Past OPF had Grossly underperformed in its developent standard and otherwise acquiring land and other issues, Plots are available for resale in OPF 1 And Price is Roughly 35 to 38 For an average on Ground Kanal. Due To poor Standard and Overseas owners there are only few houses here and there.
On Ground Plots in Valancia and Tariq Gardens are avialble in 45 to 48[average Location], There is no match of development standard and maintinance of OPF and Valencia and Tariq Gardens.
So this Investment is Ok only for thoses who dont have Money right now in hand and like investment on installments.

Naveed replied on Sunday, June 3, 2012 06:52 PM PST 

Thanks Habib for your detailed response and guidance.

Ali2 replied on Sunday, June 3, 2012 08:09 PM PST 

thank you Habib Brother!

imranshah939 replied on Monday, June 4, 2012 02:07 PM PST 

Dear Mr. Habib

Which society is having batter development and maintenance standars OPF or Valencia?

Habib replied on Monday, June 4, 2012 02:15 PM PST 

OFP is Much inferior to Valencia Both in Delelopment and maintiniace, I am sorry You could not understand from my reply

Ahmed replied on Monday, June 4, 2012 02:47 PM PST 

Dear Habib / Jameel Sb.
Since it is located on Defence Road near Valancia so location vise it is Ok. As price of 10 marla is 18 lac, am interested to buy in this budget, do you have idea when it can be ready for construction of house, what is current price of 10 marla in OPF 1. Can you suggest other better society in this range for house/investment.

Jameel replied on Tuesday, June 5, 2012 03:22 PM PST 

It is going to be small area, If they have any land issues, as only these issues delay the development. Other wise this can be developed in less than 2 years. looking at installments plan it looks it may be handed over in 4 years, Please take care that some of plots be close to Nallah, Another approach could be if there no significant change in price after Ballot it may be ok to buy in resale market by paying 2, 3 lacs More. You will still have the option to pay remaining money in installments. Keep every thing ready including your OPF card and remain in touch closely with news next 3 weeks. I hope this project will be discussed in detail by insiders.

Abbas dubai replied on Friday, August 31, 2012 12:41 AM PST

aks replied on Tuesday, October 16, 2012 08:34 PM PST 

opf is getting more gain in terms of price hike. price of 10 marla in C block is between 35 to 28. this increase is because of road and parks development.

Dear LRE

Would you please be kind enough to evaluate the said plot. it will help the buyer to know the right price and seller to re-think & price wise.

Baboo replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 08:46 PM PST 

Mr Ejaz
The price you have mentioned, its look like you advertised DHA plot?
Brother is Valencia town not a DHA?

valencia replied on Monday, April 2, 2012 09:15 PM PST 

In valencia 1 kanal plot price is between 35 & 45 lack. Two kanal plots are usually cheaper than two 1 kanal plots unless where there are very few 2 kanal plots but in valencia there are plenty of 2 kanal plots. So this plot should not be worth more than 85 lack even facing park. If it is facing water tank in the park then it should be worth only 70 lack. You are asking more than double price. In neighboring nfc phase 1 which is better located before valencia two kanal plots can be easily bought for 65 to 70 lack. It seems you are only trying to make someone fool here and trying to hit jack pot by demanding double price.

khan replied on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 12:42 AM PST

MR, ejaz i am working in this area lil bit ur plot holds nice location nd to be true its not tht u r asking for double amount but ur asking is lil more then market but still u holds all rights as ur the owner :)

REGARDS.

Ejaz Ahmad replied on Wednesday, April 4, 2012 03:02 PM PST 

People visiting webste of Lareealestate have every right give their opinion about the market trend and valuation of plot. But in this case many opinions did not have any economic substance.our currency is depreciating continuously, population is increasing creating demnad for houses. The real estate prices in Pakistan are catching up with it's real value.
There is a hunger of good Plos in the market. Recently 5 marla newly balloted plot oha town phase 9 DHA were allotted at Alloted at Total cost of Rs 10 lakh. When the market opened for these plot the price was 15 lakh. Meaning investor made 5 lakh profit on investment of Rs 150,000 only. What does this indicate. The economic condition show that real estate is in short supply.

Anyway thanks to all participants for their valuable time and comments

Best regards

Ejaz Ahmad replied on Thursday, April 5, 2012 03:25 AM PST
