Emerging Market Real Estate Investment: Investing in China, India, and Brazil
"This book is a comprehensive and insightful overview of international real estate focusing on three of the BRICs: China, India and Brazil. I was pleasantly surprised to find useful market data and industry profiles for each of the countries that were very consistent with my first hand experience. The book has a wealth of information for the real estate investment analyst and practitioner and will be very useful to those seeking guidance on what to expect in emerging markets."
--Joseph F. Azrack, Managing Partner, Real Estate, Apollo Global Management"David Lynn has set the bar with respect to real estate investment in the most compelling emerging markets. Lynn provides a framework for thinking about highly dynamic markets characterized by youthful populations, extraordinary demand, capital inefficiency and, most importantly, aspiration. This book will enlighten institutional investors and entrepreneurs alike. I look forward to another work by David Lynn addressing the frontier markets."
--Gary R. Garrabrant, CEO & Co-Founder, Equity International

Praise for "Emerging Market Real Estate Investment"
""Emerging Market Real Estate Investment" is written with a top down strategic orientation. It presents an excellent overview for US institutional investors planning to invest in offshore real estate in general and emerging markets and China, India and Brazil specifically. It covers all the key points my firm had to address before investing in China. I wish it had been available then."
--Robert H. Zerbst, Former Chairman & CEO, CB Richard Ellis Investors
"This book does for international real estate what Samuelson's primary "Economics" text did for economics students--it finally provides a new discipline with its first Bible. As cross-border real estate capital flows are on the rise, and investors increasingly seek compelling risk-adjusted returns in emerging markets, this book couldn't have come at a better time in the market cycle. It is rich in content and filled with practical insights"
--Kenneth A. Munkacy, Senior Managing Director, GID International Group/GID Investment Advisers, LLC
"With American real estate in the doldrums, more investors will be looking abroad. David and Tim's analysis of international real estate investment, focused on three of the world's most dynamic economies, provides exceptionally detailed knowledge concerning what real estate markets are really like in China, India, and Brazil. It is essential reading for investors considering those markets."
--Anthony Downs, Senior Fellow, the Brookings Institution
"David Lynn and Tim Wang have written the 'must read' book for all real estate investors in emerging Brazil, China and India. They comprehensively cover the landscape of issues--economic, policy, legal, markets, sectors, entry, exit and strategies. Of noted value is their sanguine assessment of the risks and opportunities of alternative strategies in each country. The first outlay for all should be their book."
--Dr. Raymond G Torto, CRE, Global Chief Economist, CB Richard Ellis
""Emerging Market Real Estate Investment" is a powerful tool for those engaged in foreign investment generally, as well as in China, India and Brazil in particular. It combines a broad general view of competitive strategy with local detail on costs and legal aspects. The book is an intelligent and practical guide to foreign real estate investment."

March 19, 2011Can The Internet Be Your Agent?
The number of consumers that go online each year to research at least a portion of a new home search is steadily growing year after year. As the internet gains an even bigger foothold in the United States, its use is likely to steadily grow and accomplish much of that growth in unexpected areas. One of those areas has been the selling of property online.
For some home sellers, selling a home online merges the excitement of the internet with the ability to control the marketing of the property from start to finish. To be clear, having a real estate agent or at the very least a real estate lawyer throughout any selling process will most certainly help you as move along the course of action. Particular if you are on your first home sale, a real estate agent can offer invaluable advice and handle your transaction in a professional manner.
That being said, many sellers will still look at an internet sale as a great way to personally market the property and save a bit on real estate fees in the long run. Are you really ready to sell your property online though? There are some questions you need to ask yourself before you pursue an internet sale.
Am I Comfortable With Online-Only Advertising?
The best way to get a person online and looking at the materials on your property is to catch them while they’re online already. Of course, online advertising is the best way to do so. Some sellers are uncomfortable pursuing only web-based advertising sources and would rather maintain a local perspective through newspaper listings. Figure out which consumer you are before embarking on an internet sale.
Will The Home Show Well Online?
If you are committed to an online-only sale, you will need sparkling pictures of your property in order to convince a buyer to pursue an online real estate transaction with your property. For most people that put their homes for sale online, professional photos serve this purpose well.
A professional photographer will know how to showcase your property and get the most out of the shots taken. These photos will take the place of an initial showing for many online buyers, so ensuring that they make a great first impression is critical to the online selling process.
Can I Transition From The Internet To Personal Contact Efficiently?
Just as a newspaper ad or other marketing material, the internet is merely a tool to help you sell your property, not a replacement real estate agent. The internet will not negotiate for you or find you a title company automatically. It will also not be the only way you deal with a potential buyer and indeed very quickly a potential buyer will want to talk to you to put a voice with the home instead of a web address.
For most sellers, the internet can be a great tool for the selling of a home, but probably not the entire process. With local regulations to be considered and a negotiation process to endure (possibly with a buyer’s agent on the other end), a real estate expert of some kind like a real estate agent or real estate lawyer will still need to be involved in the transaction.
However, if you feel that selling your home on the internet is an exciting prospect and doing so will motivate you better to put time and effort into the sale, it can be a great option. As long as you remember that it is ultimately a mechanism to put you in personal contact with a potential buyer and not the end-all solution to your real estate sale, you can create a positive, efficient, fun internet selling process for your property.
