The
Global
Property
Investor's
Toolkit
2007-2008
The
Delamere
Group
has
recently
been
researching
how
real
estate
investors
and
speculators
can
take
their
business
global.
The
real
estate
boom
has
gone
global,
and
those
successful
investors
who
want
to
keep
up
their
profits
are
starting
to
look
at
emerging
markets
on
other
continents.
Markets
in
South
America,
Eastern
Europe,
India,
and
Asia
are
currently
experiencing
the
rapid
growth
that
mature
domestic
markets
experienced
a
few
years
ago.
Based
on
the
author's
personal
experience
buying
and
selling
dozens
of
overseas
properties,
this
book
provides
all
the
relevant
data
investors
need
to
evaluate
properties
and
markets
anywhere
in
the
world.

A
divorce
wrangle
between
President
Robert
Mugabe's
playboy
nephew,
Leo
Mugabe,
and
his
wife
of
nearly
two
decades,
Veronica,
has
opened
a
can
of
worms
and
is
revealing
the
extent
to
which
Mugabe's
cronies
feathered
their
nests
as
Zimbabwe
descended
into
impoverishment.

Editor's
Note:
These
farms
when
seized
from
the
white
owners,
were
supposed
to
go
to
the
local
Africans
to
help
grow
food
and
produce
milk
and
other
essential
items.
But
alas,
from
our
local
reporters'
information,
the
farms
now
lie
derelict
with
no
production
whatsoever.
How
sickening!

Just
as
Tommy
Miller
was
milking
his
Friesian
herd
early
yesterday
morning,
the
mob
stormed
into
Dunluce
Farm.
Armed
with
sticks,
stones
and
a
shotgun,
they
ordered
him
to
stop.
He
refused.
The
cows
had
to
be
milked
or
they
would
become
ill.
"This
is
the
law,"
replied
their
dreadlocked
leader,
brandishing
his
baton.
"You
must
throw
the
milk
on
the
ground."
As
they
rampaged
through
Zimbabwe's
last
productive
farms,
Robert
Mugabe's
feared
militiamen
threatened
to
drive
the
country
to
starvation
with
a
campaign
not
just
to
reclaim
white-owned
land
but
to
destroy
the
farming
system.

The
gap
between
rich
and
poor
in
many
States
of
the
USA
has
broadened
at
a
quickening
pace
since
the
last
U.S.
recession,
which
could
make
it
difficult
for
low-income
families
to
weather
the
current
economic
downturn,
according
to
a
report
issued
Wednesday.
