10 Potential Negatives, Often Overlooked, to Consider When Selecting a Residential Development Site

By Anthony Seruga

Finding property to develop can be difficult. To complicate this even further, it’s even more difficult to find a piece of property large enough to develop into an entire residential community. It’s easy to want to jump and purchase the property immediately when you finally find it, but there are some negatives that you need to be aware of. These ten negatives can impact and impede and even destroy the development and eventual sale of your property.

#1) It’s extremely important that you have the soil tested when you are considering the property. There are all kinds of things that have one way or another made their way into the soil that would kill your deal before you’d ever made it. Land that has previously been used by industry could be land that has waste in it like oil, lead, or toxic waste. These kinds of things make the land not able to be developed. If you purchase land that ends up not able to be developed you will be stuck with the property. That means that you’ll be paying taxes on said property and not be able to do anything with it.

You may be able to clean up the land, but that will take additional investment and you additional time before the land will be able to be developed. If you already own the property and find that it does have these problems you may be able to hire someone to clean up the land by bringing in fresh dirt after turning over the polluted earth and taking it away. Again, this will probably be a long, arduous process which means that the land will not be able to begin the long development process before it is entirely cleaned up and completely free of all problems.

#2) If you are close to an area that has bad smells in the surrounding air you may have a problem selling your lots once the land has been developed. For example, a community was developed just outside of a landfill and that community took quite a long time to come up. Not many want to live in an area that will smell bad with each warm day when they go outside. This will make the land harder to sell and develop which may end up in the developer losing money in the long run.

#3) Another area that you would want to stay away from as a developer would be one that is near a loud location. An airport would be a good example. When planes come and go they are quite loud. If a residential neighborhood is developed too close to this, it will be hard to sell the lots and get people to live so close to such noise.

#4) Sites that have health hazards too close to them can be hard to determine but they can also be sites that will lose money for the developer as people will be concerned living so close to these hazardous things. Some examples are areas that are close to high power lines, a car manufacturing plant, or other plants that will emit toxic wastes. Not many would want their children exposed to such dangers and therefore would not want to purchase a lot in this area.

#5) If the land that you’re considering investing in is near or would provide a view of something sinister like a cemetery or something unpleasant and loud such as a string of bars, casinos, or a prison, use this reason to decide against the investment. Not many would want to look out onto a cemetery from their kitchen window. Those raising families traditionally would not like the noise and danger from things like bars, casinos, or a nearby prison.

#6) Land that may be considered unincorporated may be difficult to sell to consumers. This means that the properties will have well water instead of city water. Some will be willing to buy bottled water and still live in this area, but many will not. Another negative about this type of area is the fact that the people that purchase the lots will have to use septic tanks rather than city utilities. Again, many people will not want the extra hassle of dealing with septic tanks that have to be maintained and often clog.

#7) When you take a look at the land you’re considering for development be sure to see if it there are any wetlands within your acreage. Wetlands are extremely difficult to build on, if they can be built on at all. With wetlands your only hope for development would be to fill those lands in with earth that can absorb the water. In many cases these wetlands are protected by the government and will not be build able anyway.

#8) Certain soils are also hard to develop on as well. Rocky soils and soils that are not compatible with septic systems will not be able to be developed. This will again result in either additional money having to be spent to make the land able to be developed or additional taxes.

#9) Be sure to pay attention to local politics. If there are any political people that are not for development they could make your project difficult to do. If you have those kinds of problems you may never be able to develop the land.

#10) Be aware of any other local development. Other local development may make your development more difficult to sell. People that are looking to purchase property to build a home may not like other development that is coming up and this will make your properties harder to sell. Be sure you know all other nearby developments and how the community feels about them.

Developing land into a residential community can be a very profitable venture, but you have to be careful with your investment. As long as you are aware of the ten above negatives and are careful to avoid them, you are on your way to selecting a great development site.

By Nancy Dunstan

Some sites are very popular, because they may spend time advertising themselves on the internet. Most Muslims these days are turning to such matrimonial sites for the purpose of marriages. As with all businesses there will be advantages and disadvantages.

The internet is a place where you can get a lot of things from just sitting at home, but there are also dark shades to it. For instance, some people may be misusing Muslim dating sites. A lot of people may just register for the sake f it to have fun. Though a lot of time is spent on trying to curb such activities, it seems to be endless.

The management of these sites will obviously have to spend so much time hunting down people who are not genuine, through several thousands of profiles. Yes, it is true. There are several thousands of profiles, and it is growing by number each day. This is because the internet is becoming more cheap to use, and also available in many remote corners of the world.

Some people may use Islamic dating sites, to lure people with money into their company. So it is with other matrimonial sites too. So, one always has to be careful when you register yourself on matrimonial sites. This is not meant to frighten users. In fact, this is probably such a great deal of common sense, that is, to use matrimonial sites.

You will not be stuck with choosing between two or three photographs. Any Muslim belonging to any caste can be found on such sites. A user will have a wide choice to choose from. These sites are also very protective about their users. For example, they will not allow anyone else to steal your identity. If someone does that, they may pose as you to other people.

These sites also work a lot towards fighting spam. In return, the least any user can do, is to behave in a manner that is appropriate. They can do so by being kind to other users. If you are not interested in someone, you must be very polite, and say so. Not giving them an answer will allow them to understand the situation in a different way.

They might even think you are pondering over their request. At all times, Muslims using dating sites for Muslims, must keep their families involved. This way, all of you together can pick the right person. This way, you can also ensure that the person you are picking is good enough in character, and will be able to support you.

You cannot figure this out over the internet of course, you can just approach them and check their background. All these sites operate the way the religion wants them to be. They will not go against the wish of their God, by indulging in activities that are not right. So Muslims who want to marry, need not fear.

Tips on Starting a Membership Site

By Lynette Chandler

Have you decided to start a membership site and are plain confused with all your options? How important are all the different features? What should you have in your site? To help you get going, here are a few key features that you should look for.

Automated member management.Any membership manager will sign people up, collect payment and allow access to private areas. But a good membership manager will do all that and also revoke or suspend access automatically when payments do not come through or the subscription is canceled.

Affiliate systemHappy members are the best sales force you can ever ask for. Why not take advantage of that? Look for a system that will allow you to make members into affiliates automatically and the flexibility to sign up non-member affiliates if you choose to.

Choice of payment processorsYou'll often find low priced membership site managers that will work well but will only take PayPal. When it comes to payment, you should always give people a choice. Though PayPal works well, some people do not like it. Also, despite their large network, people in certain countries still do not have access to PayPal. This unnecessarily limits your distribution.

Easy content managementThis is perhaps the most important outside of member management. You shouldn't be locked into one way of managing your premium content. There are some systems that have built in content management systems. This is good if you are very new to website building.

The down side is, you're locked into one way of managing your content. When you outgrow the system or would simply like to move on, you'll have a huge task at hand moving your premium content.

Ideally, you should look for a system that allows you to use:1.Popular site building tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver2.A popular third party content management system of your choice
Multiple membership levelsThis is one area where many systems are lacking. Multiple membership levels is just smart marketing. Even if your current plan is a single level membership, a system that can handle different levels will ensure it'll be able to grow with you.

CustomizableWho wants a site that is just the same as the other? Choose a membership manager that will allow you to customize the look and feel down to the smallest detail.

Extend-ableMany membership managers are all-in-one built in systems. They cannot communicate with other software like forums, mailing list managers and help desks. This can severely limit what you can offer your members. An extend-able system can help you make your membership site more attractive, valuable or easy to manage.

So far, we've only covered short list of features. For some sites, certain things in this list may not be all that important. One thing is sure, membership sites are not like one time purchase products. They are dynamic and ever changing because members will constantly suggest new things. So you really want a membership manager that's scalable. Choose one that's flexible enough to allow you to add on, remove and shape your member's area as you go along.
