Reviving your Soulâ&#x20AC;Ś That is what I felt when I was busy with the artwork for CTM, Swakopmund. When looking at those beautiful images of tiles and bathrooms and the difference it can make to any room in your home, I got a peaceful feeling of tranquillity. Tiles can make a difference to renew your soul and love your home. They supply the extra large format tiles which are very trendy, but you can literally change any area with a new look, just by changing or adding new tiles. Today, tiles are more of an art, than the conventional perception. It transforms you. CTM, Swakopmund delivers countrywide. Visit Robbie Schneider and his team in Swakopmund, and experience the customer service you deserve. Reviving your Soul, has another meaning this weekend (30 March), as it is Easter weekend. Apart from the excitement of a getaway weekend and having Easter eggs, it is actually all about the meaning of our lives. It is about human purpose. It is about eternity. That understanding often gets lost in the day-to-day busyness of living. We get caught up in the hectic pursuits and graspingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of life, totally consumed and directed by the pushes and pulls of the world around us, not only unable to break free, but unaware we are captive. Take time this weekend to revive your soul, by reaching out beyond the physical, beyond your day-to-day routine, beyond the millions of details of life that would drag you down, and see your life as counting for eternity, instead of just today. Truly experience the meaning of your purpose in this life.

review review

5 Rental Property buying mistakes to avoid. Once you have done research and made up your mind about going for high rental yields instead of high capital growth properties, the next step is to master the process of picking the right investment property. Many inexperienced investors often get it wrong when choosing the first few rental properties, which is both costly and not ideal when starting to build a portfolio. Here are five mistakes to avoid when choosing the right rental property: 1. Emotions – try and avoid falling in love with the property. Rather weigh its potential to attract quality tenants. Don't look for features that appeal to you, but the market you are targeting. 2. Hasty decisions – talk to different property agents and view a minimum of five properties or units in the area before making your final decision - unless you are taking advantage of a good deal. Also let the agents know that you are buying an investment property and will be exploring a few options. This will help you make an informed decision and also negotiate a good price. 3. Cost of maintenance – before buying your investment property, it is essential to establish the type of maintenance required. The idea with this property investment strategy is to make as much money as possible from the rental income, while avoiding ongoing expenses such as outsourcing maintenance.

For more information please call Tel:(061) 299 2222 or visit www.fnbnamibia.com.na

For example, it may be more practical to go a low maintenance unit like a flat or cluster, instead of a standalone house. However, if you are buying a house, it is important to get an expert to thoroughly inspect it for visible and hidden defects that may be costly to repair. 4. Investigate rental yield – don't just take the agents' word about how much tenants are likely to pay for rent. Do your own research and find out how much other properties in the area are being rented out for. In this case, you risk ending up with a low rental yield and low capital growth property, which will cost you as you may have to re-sell it. 5. Talk to experts - don't be reluctant to share ideas and seek advice from experienced property investors. If possible, also join credible property investment groups. Taking advantage of advice and learning from the mistakes of experienced investors will go a long way in helping you to succeed. After selecting the right rental property, the second most important thing is to consider is how to finance the investment. A viable high rental yield property investment strategy depends on the rental income you get as well as access to capital. As a result, finance and skills required for selecting the right property are critical elements for success.

7 tips

For successful property investment

Investing in properties is a wonderful way to secure a future free of financial worries. Of course, as with everything in life, it does come with a substantial amount of risk. But don’t let that stop you: by following these handy tips, you’ll be giving your chances of success a significant boost.

1. Be patient It’s incredibly tempting to dive right into a purchase if the price is right. However, most great deals come with some sort of hidden cost. So take your time and do your research. Compare properties in the area. Look at prices vs actual value. Get in touch with an estate agent and ask to see a comparative market analysis. Doing your research will empower you with the knowledge you need to enter into a deal with confidence.

make them, and provide useful guidance throughout the process.

2. Walk the streets Location is massively important and should never be discounted as it determines a property’s potential for appreciation. A great house in a terrible location will never achieve its worth. On the other hand, prime locations are always in demand and will therefore consistently push prices up. What dictates a good location? Look for proximity to business hubs, transport routes, good schools and shops. And don’t forget the simple test of getting out of your car and walking around the ‘hood, just to see if you like the vibe.

6. Mow the lawn A well-maintained property with a neat garden and fresh paint and taps that work will always fetch a good price on the rental or sales market. Maintenance costs should be front and centre in your budgeting and cash flow planning. Also important is to decide whether you have the time and inclination to do the maintenance yourself, or if you’re better off hiring a managing agent.

3. Check and double-check Sellers have to provide a list of the property’s known defects, but this isn’t always a guarantee that every issue has been listed. It’s always a good idea to hire a property inspector to give the place a once-over. It may be a costly exercise, but it could save you tonnes of money on repairs in the long run. 4. Ask for help If this is your first time round the block, find someone who has been in the game for a while and pick their brains. Chances are they’ll be able to point out your mistakes before you

#SBNPrivateBanking

5. Keep track of your budget An in-depth budget and cash flow analysis is imperative. The ins and outs of property investment can prove to be a tangled web, so it’s essential you plan your finances and keep a sharp eye on them. And don’t forget that you’ll usually need a deposit of between 10 and 30% to secure your spot.

7. Add some diversity Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. If you have the means, it’ll be a wise move to purchase a few properties in varied locations and minimise your risk Buy homes, not houses Whatever your motives for getting into property investment, you’ll be well-served to remember that the houses you buy will be lived in by people who have the same needs as you: comfort, convenience, space, beauty. If you buy with that thought in mind, rather than opportunistically grabbing at deals, your chances of reaching financial freedom will be very attainable.

MOM, IT’S COLD!! Solar heating panels on the roof of your house is by far, the most popular form of pool heating in Namibia. Even with the correct type of solar panels (there are cheap options with poor results) you can still end up with a cold pool. Here are some dealer tricks on how to get the most from your solar panels during the autumn and Spring times of the year. 1. Set the timer of the pool pump to start at no earlier than 10h00 and switch off at 16h00. (The warmest part of the day) 2. In the event of you regularly having kids swimming in the pool or the pool being used by many people, it would be necessary for the pump to run longer hours (8 hours minimum). In this case I would suggested you set the solar panels on “bypass” if you run the

docter

pump after 16h00. Solar panels can be a good friend but if not operated “correctly”, they can actually cool the pool down……. Let me explain. 3. Water passing through the panels is heated by the sun. The warmer the sun the warmer the water will be coming back from the panels. During the evening when the sun is sets, the energy transferred to the panels by the sun is so low, the water is now rather cooled down by the panels. 4. Cover your pool. Wind not only increases evaporation, it also cools the pool down, at an alarming rate. The good work of the panels is thus being nullified by the wind. 5. Turn your water feature, pouring into the pool, “off”. Again, this little beautiful feature can make sure your pool is not comfortable when you do exercises in the pool. 6. Mark the water level. If your pool is leaking you constantly have to add water to the pool. This tap water is cold and also cools the pool down. 7. Lastly but most important. Do not over heat your pool. A fibreglass pool in specific does not like temperatures of more than 30 degrees. Doing this will cause the fibreglass to blister.

Nature lends a helping hand What a pleasure to take in a breath of fresh air! Our immediate surroundings are often more polluted than we may realise – unfortunately we cannot always escape to some place where we can enjoy gulp after gulp of clean air.

allergens. For persons with allergies such plants will be a friend, a cheap and natural way to stay healthy. Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) describes the way the health of certain individuals of a certain residence or building acquires moderate to acute symptoms that are linked to the building while no specific illness can be identified.

Two plants, both ideal for in- or outdoors, will make a big difference in the quality of air we breathe allow our lungs to enter.

Poor indoor air quality is mostly responsible for symptoms involved with SBS. They include ear, nose, and throat irritation, itching, dizziness and nausea, lack of concentration (a good reason to have Sansevieria in classrooms), fatigue, even chest tightness and muscle aches. Symptoms usually leave not long after individuals left the building – only to start all over again the next day! Contributing factors in buildings to explain this: Ventilation that doesn't properly distribute air, chemicals from carpets, upholstery, copy machines, pesticides and cleaning agents. Also pollution being pumped in – bacteria, moulds and viruses. In a nutshell – prevention is better than cure, do the right thing!

SANSEVIERIA is the genus name of several species of plants. The most common species used indoors is Sansevieria trifasciata, commonly known as Snake Plant or Mother-inLaw's Tongue. The leaves have a undulating, snake like form. Mother-in-Law's tongue features a yellow stripe running the length of the leaf margins. Such an easy plant to grow, not requiring much water and tolerating a range of light levels Air cleaning properties Being a superb air purifier, the Sansevieria is an ideal plant for indoor spaces. Studies have consistently shown the plant to remove toxins such as formaldehyde, xylene, toluene, and nitrogen oxides. Thus industries and work spaces where chemicals abound in the products produced and used, would greatly benefit by keeping several Sansevieria around. The plant purifies air by absorbing toxins through the leaves and producing pure oxygen. The Sansevieria is without exception an ideal bedroom plant as it continues to produce oxygen at night, unlike most other plants that release

carbon oxide at night due to the absence of photosynthesis. Allergies & sick building syndrome How does a plant purify the air? It means that the plant itself doesn't produce allergens, but absorbs toxins and releases oxygen. The plant may also release moisture in the air and lessens airborne
