Your pet dog is your best friend. Not only is he faithful but also very protective about you. Many a times your pet shows obedient gestures, or does well in games, and you feel like rewarding him. Rewarding dogs also makes them feel appreciated for their efforts and stimulates their spirits. And on special occasions like dog parties, Christmas or Halloween, you also desire to give him treats. Though a huge variety of gourmet treats and biscuits are available in bite-size, it is always healthier to treat your dogs with all natural dog treats. It means the treat you are giving your dog contains, no artificial color or flavor, no synthetic preservatives, no additives and harmful chemicals and are absolutely safe for your dogs.

You love your pet and so you want his life to be long and healthy. What could be better other than offering him all natural dog treats?

It would not be wrong to say that these all natural dog treats are also decent enough for human consumption. If you search on the Internet, you can find out about the wide range of natural dog treats that are within an easy reach and also suitable to all pockets. But believe it or not, whatever money you will spend on this will be worthy. Nowadays there is a market full of such healthy treats, which are as good as the home made items and thus are very much safe for your dogs. Buying him healthy treats is also a way of showing your love and care and makes him taste the finer things in life. The main principal ingredients, which are used for getting the all natural dog treats done are: oat-meal, wheat, eggs, peanut butter and meat. With such delicacies your dogs will go ga-ga over it and will always cherish you.

Dogs are basically carnivorous by nature. Suppressing this attitude will definitely be going against nature. Meat, fish, chicken, turkeys are some natural products which your dogs would love to hog on. But be sure of one thing before treating your dogs, is that all natural dog treats with which you are rewarding your dogs have a balanced supply of proteins and vitamins in it. It should be wholesome for your dogs and appropriate for his breed. Good food keeps your dog away from many diseases, itchiness, and infections.

Just as you take care of your child and his bringing up, you need to do the same for your dog. Keep him away from anything and everything. Help him to get used to the delicious taste and sweet aroma of all natural dog treats which are the best for him.

The Christmas break is a great time to look back on the previous year, work out what you did well, what could have been better and reset your goals for 2009.

It is the ideal time to review your personal goals, property goals and any other business goals. And crucially make sure you write them down! This will make a significant difference in how you do overall this year. Like many property investors I have seen some values drop, and some properties cause more issues than others, but have also seen big positives with such dramatic drops in borrowing rates. I also think, more than ever, the last 4 months of 2008 made me even more glad I invest in property rather than

a) Not invest in anything or
b) Invest in the stock market or a traditional pension.

While some of the property headlines are pretty negative this is understandable but it is all relative. Compared to the FTSE top 500 companies which saw drops of 33% over the last 12 months ie most pension funds saw a drop in value by a third, the UK property market dropping by an average of 12% over the last 12 months is a significant difference.

Within that average as always the most affordable parts of the UK did better eg Scotland dropped by just 2%, and areas such as Hull, Hartlepool and Cumbria all dropped by less than 5% as an average over 12 months.

But also remember if people didn’t need to move they generally didn’t move – the majority of people selling in the last 6-9 months were those who were “distressed” sellers or had to take a low offers – which was always going to have dramatic knock on effect on average prices – but this doesn’t clearly tell us the full story on affordability – and until probably later this year it is hard to say what true values are in many areas.

What is for sure, as soon as more credit comes back in, and there are clear indications this is continuing to improve, then low offers will be less likely to be accepted.

No one forecast such large credit restrictions in 2008 and the knock on effect in certain property markets, and it is hard to be sure what will happen in 2009 but one thing is clear – affordability and attractive rental yields are at the best they have been in the UK for the last 3-4 years.

Gross rental yields, which were at around 5-6% a year ago, are now at 6.5-8% due to prices dropping and rents rising in many areas.

Prices may have dropped by around 12% as an average across the UK, but if you have a varied portfolio say spread across the UK and a couple of emerging markets, your overall yield should have risen with borrowing rates dropping and rents rising. Compare this to owning shares in large companies, where it is unlikely dividends will have risen as they will often be cash poor with cashflow issues.

This makes buy to let more attractive than ever in the UK and markets such as Czech Republic!

So how long will these opportunities last?

Six months? 12 Months?

Already borrowing rates are improving, with libor rate down to under 3%, and several lenders are close to increasing the LTV they will lend, as long as rental coverage is there. It is great to be able to find deals again where you can invest for very little funds and make over ?100 net a month!

I have spoken to 1-2 investors who have said they are looking to wait 6-9 months when they think prices will be lower.

Most people saying this have no real reason for saying this, apart from the fact they have read this may happen in the newspapers – and have no real way of measuring this as are not too close to the actual numbers – but it allows them to put off making a decision for a while – bit like saying I ll get fit in the New Year! Often people who would say this would not understand what is good value and what is not – and you won’t learn this in the newspapers! You should have your own clear idea on what is good value based on rental return and local affordability.

The main reason it is daft to wait is if you can buy an investment property now, for 20% below today’s market value ie perhaps as much as 30% less than last years value, tie up very little money in the process and have positive cashflow why risk waiting?!

When the bottom of the market is called it will probably be 2-3 months after the actual bottom of the market has occurred and if everyone suddenly realises the value of their property in these high yielding areas, and mortgages are more available, then you won’t be able to negotiate a 25% discount any longer that’s for sure!

Actually as soon as 85% mortgages are back, vendors will be under less pressure to give big discounts.

Let’s look at an example:

Say, you can buy a 2 bed property that last year valued at ?110,000, and now values at ?100,000 for an equivalent net price of say ?80,000.

Let’s say the rent is ?525 a month and the mortgage is ?300 and other monthly costs are ?100.

We can package this deal so you are only tying up ?6000 in total to buy this property – and the average salary in the area is currently ?24,000.

Why is this a great deal and I’d buy these all day long?

Well firstly why do I look at average salary in an area? This gives us an idea of the realistic value of property in the area – at 5 times the average salary here this property could be worth ?120,000. Even at 4 times the average salary it would be worth ?96,000. The average property price in the UK – even with the drop in values last year is at around 7.5 times the average salary – which I think is still quite high – but working to say 5 times in your local area gives you a good idea of the properties true value.

Let’s look at rental coverage. You are looking to buy this as a buy to let, so you want good rental coverage. Lenders have realised they were daft to lend based on 100% rental coverage previously ie the rent just covering the mortgage payments, and now want at least 125%. On the above example, the rental coverage is a massive 175%! Ie 300/525 – so lenders are more than happy, and it also gives you a good insight into the fact that it will continue to be attractive to investors – even if you refinance in 2-3 years time and go again! (If any of this is unclear, give me or my team a call and will be more than happy to go through in much more detail – on the phone or at one of or free One to One consultations across the country.) .

If you don’t have a pension and say have ?15-20,000 the best thing, in my opinion right now would be to buy 3-4 properties like above knowing you will have some instant equity and an ideal leveraged investment that is well priced and will rise in value over the next 3 years.

If spend ?6000 and are given ?20,000 equity based on today’s values –and say even if we look conservatively and say in 5 years time the property is worth ?120,000 – and you bought for the equivalent of a net ?80,000 – your ?6000 in is now worth ?46,000 assuming is cost neutral over the 5 years and with rental coverage of 175% you should be positive.

That is a massive return of 667%! You’ll never get a pension or bank close to this. The great thing with high yields is even if the market has not moved as quickly as you would like, ir for instance like now with the lack of credit, you are under no pressure to sell as it is working as a self funding investment.

So as many of our investors are realising the next 6 months could be the most exciting 6 months in the UK property market for a long time. This is simply a great time to build up some wealth quickly and help to secure your financial future.

We continue to see many Overseas countries and economies less affected by the credit issues.with LTVs of 90% still available in Czech Republic and Poland – and I like many investors will be continuing to buy in some of these economies which are still growing well.

So hopefully you are one of the many investors licking their lips at the bargains to be had now, and realise the window of opportunity is reducing all the time! I think the next 6 months will be the best opportunity and market sentiment will change quicker than you think!

Snoring is a big problem. It can mean sleep apnoea, which is very dangerous, or it can simply be due to the way a person sleeps and how his or her mouth and nasal passages are shaped. If you snore, or if you live with someone who does and you want to stop the annoyance of the sound of snoring at night, there are many different remedies out there that are offered to the general public without the need to consult a doctor.

A snoring gum shield is one of them. This is a device that fits in the mouth, and it’s designed to hold the jaw in a slightly different way so that snoring is reduced. Doctors agree that having a device that fits in the mouth is one of the best ways to reduce snoring. However, a lot of the people who tried this method found that it was uncomfortable and hard to get used to. As a result of that they chose not to use it again, so it didn’t do them much good.

There are other options, though, such as the Snore Calm chin-up strips. These are for people who snore because they breathe through their mouths. The chin-up strip holds their mouth shut, and the result is that they don’t snore.

W hen it comes to things like the chin-up strip, though, the consensus is that they don’t work well on their own, and they only work effectively when they are used with a product such as Breathe Right Nasal Strips. These stick to the nose and are placed across it. They are designed to open the nasal passages to allow for easier breathing. When a person is able to breathe more easily, he or she will feel better, sleep better, and often not snore. However, they don’t always stay attached to the nose properly at night, and some people find them uncomfortable or are self-conscious about them. There are other options, as well, such as a CD of singing exercises that can be used to help people stop snoring, throat sprays, and other choices. For most people, these things are only moderately effective. They help some people some of the time, but they don’t help everyone. If you snore, the best things that you can do is to see your doctor and determine the cause for your snoring so that you can find the solution that will work the best for you.

So after last week finally delivered the intense Showdown (with the winner taking it by only 9 votes…) that we had all been waiting for (and the one I had predicted), we kick off this Monday with another bruising battle… This time, the theme in question is Fresh News’ big brother – Busy Bee.

The two websites that will be squaring off against each other this week is the money-making blog – IncomeDiary – versus the totally inspired, personal blog of Sarah Stanley. A quick look at the two sites makes you realize this is gonna be another close-knit affair, so let’s jump into our analysis right away… Girls up first…

Sarah Stanley Inspired – Link (Meghan McCrae from Clever Daisies)

Sarah Stanley Inspired

Starting with the homepage of Sarah’s site, you’ll notice that the only section that you can really see the Busy Bee influence is in the sidebar; the rest of the site sports an awesome design consistent with the brand identity of the site. One thing that is certain, is that the bright & vibrant blues & greens definitely feels inspiring, so kudo’s goes to the designer for implementing a colour scheme that reinforces the inspirational content.

Further to this, we really love how the consistency in the design and the prominence of Sarah’s own personality (in terms of the extensive usage of photos featuring herself) has been used throughout the site, to really great a personal brand and online presence. For a personal blog, this is probably the most important thing, since there are just so many competing web properties out there; you thus really have to stand out from the crowd and we believe that Sarah has done this well.

Scrolling to the bottom, we probably reach our favourite single design element on the whole website: the footer. The design in the footer is just simply magical, as it combines extremely well-executed typography which forms a nice combo with the playful swirls in the background. So many footer designs are so lacking and considering this is the last thing your readers see, we’re always surprised that designers don’t pay more attention to it… Again though, Sarah Stanley scores massive points in our book on this front.

Income Diary – Link (Micheal Dunlop from Income Diary)

Income Diary

Similarly to Sarah’s website, Income Diary features a homepage which is almost unrecognizable from the default Busy Bee theme; the only element which still incorporates the Busy Bee default style is the homepage… And again, we’re in love with the extent of the modifications on the homepage, which turns it into much more a fully-fledged CMS (compared to a blog).

In terms of the aims of the homepage (we’re assuming a little here), we think Income Diary has gotten everything just right. The great design of the separate elements definitely emphasizes the right things in such a way as to get the best conversions. In this regard, you can see that the author – Micheal Dunlop – has some great ideas on making money from Income Diary and the fact that he is combined strategy & design gives the website a massive advantage over others.

Onto the inner pages, you’ll note that they’ve retained much more of the default Busy Bee styling. But one thing that still stands out, is the awesome sidebar on those pages. A few custom graphics and custom widgets, really takes those pages from being average to being much, much cooler. Without that sidebar, we might not have even featured Income Diary here…

Our final thoughts? Income Diary definitely has the more impressive homepage, but Sarah Stanley Inspired in turn hits hard with her much-customized inner pages. So again, we haven’t made it easy for you by featuring two designs that are great for totally different reasons. You’ll thus have to have the final say in this week’s voting…
