StayOverseas.com http://www.stayoverseas.com part of The MCM Group has been growing form strength to strength on a daily basis with the help of an exceptional number of founder members.

The property rental web portal was launch just weeks ago and provides a low cost effective way of promoting property for rent. MCM Group, owners of Stayoverseas.com, advertised for founder members to take advantage of the introductory rate of 50 uk pounds per year to list their rental property on the stayoverseas.com website.

MCM Group are marketing and promoting the web portal through many channels including holiday tour operators and through their outlet of associates and agents. The last few weeks have seen an exceptional demand for listings with over 1,300 property owners now listing their property on the stayoverseas.com website.

Mark Lougher, Commercial Director, says, “We had a target of 3,000 founder members and as such we budgeted for 50 uk pounds which covered the initial set up costs, marketing costs and listing costs. We are almost at the half way stage for that and weeks ahead of schedule. It is very exciting and we are very grateful for the members to trust and capitalise on this introductory offer.”

“Once we reach the landmark of 3,000 members,”, Mark continues, “we had initially discussed reviewing the price structure and we will then increase this to 150 uk pounds per property. We still believe it offers fantastic value for money for listing a property for rent. The next milestone will be 5,000 members with 25% of these properties being successfully rented and it is then we will commence out mass advertising campaign in earnest promoting the properties and increasing the property rental percentage significantly.”

Stayoverseas.com will soon also be launching the corporate package where companies can list unlimited properties with the property web portal for annual membership fee. This will be aimed at travel agents, real estate companies and holiday letting companies who manage their own portfolio of properties.

The MCM group, founders of Distressed Invest, Jules Consultancy and MSM Malaysia are proud to announce their new ‘Jewel in the Crown’.

Stayoverseas.com, the brainchild of a Scottish entrepreneur, has been operating for many years assisting individuals with sales, rentals and relocation packages across the world.

MCM have acquired this site to enable them to help clients from all corners of the globe with their international rental needs.

After extensive research, the MCM group understand that in these current times an affordable option is necessary for all owners of foreign properties who need them rented to provide a source of income….Property owners do not want to pay extra and sit with their fingers crossed hoping that their property will rent.

Property owners do not want to incur fees or pay percentages of rental incomes that are clearly unwarranted.

They do however want to be part of a successful operation.

They do want to be able to benefit directly from a rapidly expanding network.

They do want to use a company that they can trust.

They do want to be able to list their property having full peace of mind that the price they have paid is justified completely.

We can offer you this and much more.

Our research shows that on average, the minimum income level for a 1 week holiday rental anywhere in the world is £100.

We know there is a large section of property owners who have low season rentals which are much higher than this, some even start at £500 per week depending on location. Taking all of this into consideration and extensively researching all competitors within this market we have an unbeatable price offer.

Using our specialist skills in natural networking and marketing, MCM /stayoverseas.com are now able to offer a package that suits everybody whether holiday lettings or long term rentals. We are able to promote your property through our existing network of 160 agents.

We heavily promote direct to the travel industry.

A successful track record for natural marketing through our sister operation
distressedinvest.com.

How much does this cost?

LESS THAN THE AVERAGE WEEKLY RENTAL AT A BULGARIA COSTAL RESORT IN HIGH SEASON, WHICH COMES IN AT AROUND £100!!

We will also honour your first years payment plan for a further two years should you wish to continue using our services. You will only continue using this service if you have at least one booking.

In March, buyers closed on 790 condo units in the four-county metro area — 25 percent more than in March 2006, when real-estate agents were celebrating a then-astronomical 630 sales.

With the region’s population basically stagnant and unemployment at or near record levels, the question is: Who is buying all of these units?

According to brokers, industry reports and others, foreign buyers are largely behind the surge.

For example, about 80 percent of the sales these days at the Mosaic at Millenia, a south Orlando apartment complex that went condo in 2004, have been to international investors.

“They are paying all cash, and their primary purpose is to get a monthly rented unit that provides cash flow with the expectation of some appreciation,” said Alec String, a broker with Coldwell Banker NRT Development Advisors in Longwood.

Unlike the deals that drove condo speculators during the homebuying frenzy of the mid-2000s, these sales aren’t based on incentives or inflated promises of rental income, String added. And they aren’t paying inflated prices, either: In March 2006, the median price of the condos sold in Metro Orlando that month was $159,600; by March of this year, the median had plummeted 69 percent to $49,700.

The sharp decline in prices since the market’s peak in 2005-06 is part of the reason Florida accounted for almost one-fourth of all U.S. property purchases by international buyers in late 2008 and early 2009, according to a report by the National Association of Realtors. California was second with a 13 percent share of the foreign market.

Nationwide, those foreign buyers paid a median of $247,100 during the period studied, compared with a median of $198,100 for all buyers. About 70 percent of the purchases were single-family homes, 18 percent were multifamily, and the rest were commercial properties.

In Florida, most foreign buyers hail from the United Kingdom, other parts of Europe, and Canada.

James Black, managing partner of a London-based company, Ultimate Holdings, said the British outfit has raised about $50 million to purchase distressed properties in the U.S., starting with properties in the Orlando area.

In February, Ultimate Holdings purchased 122 units in a 240-unit Davenport condominium called the Village at Town Center, paying a combined $5.38 million. The company has improved the units, which start at $54,000 for a one-bedroom model, and says it has 37 buyers under contract. Most of its customers are from the U.K., Canada and Switzerland.

“We’re a group that has invested in both the U.K. and in multiple locations outside the U.K.,” Black said. “We’re fairly experienced in looking for value …and pretty much the best value lay in Florida, and specifically in Orlando. We were very confident that the bottom has passed, and the belief is that the city can recover.”

Black said Ultimate Holdings is also negotiating to buy an apartment complex on Semoran Boulevard near Orlando International Airport, and it is shopping for deals in Miami and Chicago.

A recent survey by the Association of Foreign Investors in Real Estate ranked Orlando 12th among U.S. cities for investment opportunities. The group’s 200 members own more than $842 billion worth of real estate globally, including $304 billion in the U.S.

“They really have expressed some strong interest this year, but they’re having difficulties finding bargains,” said Jim Fetgatter, the group’s chief executive.

The last time members felt as strongly about U.S. real estate was in 2003, Fetgatter said. In the group’s fourth-quarter survey, two-thirds of those who responded plan to increase their U.S. holdings this year compared with 2009.

An influx of foreign investors snapping up the region’s distressed real estate is a two-edged sword, said Bob Daday, founder of the 40-member Oviedo HOA Presidents Association.

“People hoping to sell their condos or town homes — it’s good for them that they can sell,” Daday said. “The flip side is that we have 20 rentals in our community, and the difference in how they are kept — between homeowners and investors — is quite obvious.”

The owner-occupied places, he said, generally have manicured lawns and attractive paint jobs, while the rental units tend to give the appearance that the property’s owner doesn’t care.
