Q. I'm attending a Property Awards night in two days and I know it will be important to me to make contacts and probably learn a few things about the industry.I would love to go into real estate in my country. Just looking for help as to what questions to ask? What to wear? How to effectively network in a business gathering like this? Basically, how to make the most of it.
A. I assume you are going to the Asia Pacific event in Singapore?
During the day wear business dress. A smart suit and comfortable shoes, you will be on your feet all day and walking around the exhibition The dinner is black tie, so you should wear an evening dress. Go for classy, classy, classy all the way. The event will be prediminately male, with female partners in the evening so you need to look like a business woman, rather than a wife. Very well groomed, hair up, discreet jewellry. You want Audrey Hepburn rather than Marilyn Monroe.
Make sure you have business cards printed. Networking is about making contacts that you can folllow up after the event. So many people go to these events and judge ow well they do by how many buusiness cards they have handed out. The real success of any networking event is how many potential contacts you made that you can follow up and develop later. So concentrate on taking other people's business cards rather than hoping they will ask for yours.
These events are expensive to attend, particularly if you are exhibiting, so if you have no actual businesss to conduct or offer, respect the fact that you are not going to be a high priority for people to give of their time as their aim in attending is to increase their profile and instigate deals. Keep your time with them short and sweet.
If you are only attending the evening event, you will have less opportunity to talk business as this is the 'let your hair down' part of the day. The business day is finishes as the networking day ends at 4.00pm and many people feel that it's bad form to talk too much business during the hospitality part of the event. You will only really get the opportuiity to have a real dscussion with the people sitting on either side of you at the table. Watch your drinking, this may be hospitality, but it's still work for most of the people attending and if you want to make a good impression, stay sober.

Business loans for USA investors to buy businesses in foreign countries?
Q. Are there government loans for USA investors to help buy business opportunities in other countries (or through other governments)? Say, South America? Say, if the loan were backed up by real estate? Or is this available only to superwealthy americans?

Which country is nicest to live in with a strong economy?
Q. I am a software engineer looking to relocate or find out about other asian opportunities. I was interested in one of these three countries:
Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia. Which one is better as far as quality of life and average prices for real estate/ apartments. Do the markets pay good or not? crime? healthcare? education? And the language most commonly spoken. Just name your thoughts on each.
Personally I am leaning towards Singapore at the moment. But am still open for change. thanks in advanced.

A. I would say Malaysia. The government offers rather good 'incentives' to attract foreign investors. Not as expensive & rigid as Singapore, more developed than Philippines and Thailand, not as badly corrupted as in the Philipines, no natural disaster, lots of room for the family, lots of business opportunities, plenty of natural reserves, lesser fanatics (religion wise), hard-working labour. Reliable medical care, lower crime rates comparitively (to Thailand & Philippines & Indonesia). English is widely used. Yes, Malaysia would be a wise choice.
Which are the best worldwide areas to invest in a high-end market?
Q. I'm thinking about investing in real estate, (500.000�) for flat, more or less, but I don't know which cities should I invest (Worldwide, because of forex), it would be like 10 houses, (I prefer flats).
So which areas are the best?
So which areas are the best?
A. There are shortages in area like Hong Kong and Singapore. Also, check Brazil.
Rather than actual real estate, I suggest ETFs. You could buy a 3x BULL now and switch to 3x BEAR next fall when the market collapses.
