Japan's cherry blossoms are just starting to bloom, but fewer tourists will be around to admire the country's symbolic harbinger of spring, the nation's peak travel season.

Some, like Timothy Ho from Singapore, are canceling planned Japanese vacations. Mr. Ho was slated to take a romantic getaway on March 16 to a ski resort northwest of Tokyo with his wife.

"The week after we canceled, we were thinking that maybe we can plan for something else at the end of the year," said the 32-year-old Mr. Ho, who works at a recruitment consulting agency

A simple 7-step guide to owning your very own property in Singapore! Inclusive of info on real estate agents, detailed transaction procedures, property taxation and rental!

Steps

1. Appoint a property agentThe first step to any property transaction is appointing a property agent. As your representative throughout the process of buying and selling, it is crucial for him or her to be competent and experienced in the market. Stay with one agent per transaction because appointing more than a representative will lead to confusion and embarrassment since most agents in Singapore share the same portfolio. Be frank with your agent as to the kind of property you are looking for, such as dimensions, location and price. Clear instructions will help your agent direct you to the ideal residence quickly and accurately. A good agent can also act as a consultant should you require any legal and financial advice upon purchase.
2. Decide on a propertyBased on your needs, the housing agent will search for suitable living spaces. Once narrowed down to the select few, you will be cordially invited to view the units. During the rounds of inspection, pay attention to the furnishings, fixtures and other special arrangements, if any. Do not feel hesitant in negotiating for renovation and price. Property investments are long term big ticket items; so make sure you are perfectly satisfied with the unit before agreeing to the purchase.
3. Option to Purchase / Offer to PurchaseOnce you have your eyes on a property, you should prepare 1% of the purchase price as consideration in exchange for the Option to Purchase from the seller. Upon which, you will be given 14 days to decide whether you want to purchase it. If you choose to do so, you should exercise the option by signing it and forwarding it to the seller’s solicitor together with another 4% to 9% of the purchase price. Alternatively, you can request your agent or solicitor to draft the Offer to Purchase stating clearly the price and terms and conditions. Most agents can refer you to a reputable solicitor if your wish to consult any.
4. Complete the transactionLeave things in the hands of your solicitor. He or she will complete the sale in 8 to 10 weeks by lodging a caveat on the property and coordinating with the financial institutions if necessary. You can inspect the property one last time before the completion of sale if you seek permission to do so in the Option to Purchase. You should check the furnishings of the property and the items that the seller has agreed to sell together with the unit. Within 14 days of signing the Option to Purchase or the Sales and Purchase Agreement, a stamp duty of 3% of purchase price has to be paid to Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore if the property exceeds S$300,000. While the agency commission is borne by the seller, which varies from 1% to 2% of the purchase price, you need to bear the legal cost. A one-off fee of S$3,000 is payable to your solicitor for every transaction.
5. Apply for bank loanAs a foreigner earning an income in foreign currency, you can secure a loan from a Singaporean bank for up to a maximum of 80% of the purchase price. It is important to note that the amount of loan is subject to property valuation by the lenders. From our experience in Singapore Prime Districts, the majority of foreign borrowers can secure a loan of 70% of the purchase price. Banks in Singapore are well known for their competitive lending interest rates which currently stand at an average of 3.5% to 4%. This is significantly lower than the rate being offered by other regional cities such as Hong Kong whose prime lending rate is 6.5%.
6. File for property taxYou should file for property tax on an annual basis after gaining ownership of the property. The amount payable is calculated by multiplying the annual value of the property with the tax rate. Annual value or AV is taken to be the estimated annual rent of your property. As for the tax rate, it is 10% annually but for those who occupy the property themselves, they can apply for a concessionary rate of 4%.
7. Let out the propertyIf you are purchasing the property as an investment, do take note of the rental yield of the unit. Your agent should give you a close estimation of the monthly rental of your purchase. Prime locations like Districts 9, 10 and 11 easily weld the highest rental yields due to desirability and great demand. However, the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore treats rental as part of income and charges income tax accordingly. For a non-residential foreigner without employment or pass for long stay, the tax payable is 20% of rental. For a foreigner with valid employment in Singapore, the tax is much lower.

Ritz-Carlton Rewards members earn a US$100 Ritz-Carlton gift card after 5 nights or a US$250 Ritz-Carlton gift card after 10 nights at Ritz-Carlton Hotels worldwide during the promotion period between March 15 and June 30, 2011.  Nights are cumulative and do not need to be consecutive nights in a single stay.

Ritz-Carlton Rewards gift card promotion link. No promotion registration is required. You still earn points or miles for Ritz-Carlton stays in addition to the gift card offer.

This offer is only for Ritz-Carlton Rewards members and does not apply to Marriott Rewards members. This is the first Ritz-Carlton Rewards loyalty promotion I recall since the program launched in September 2010.

The following Ritz-Carlton properties are not participating in this global gift card promotion.       

• The Ritz-Carlton Millenia, Singapore,
• Phulay Bay Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Krabi, Thailand
• The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club (time-share program)
• The Ritz-Carlton Residences and Partner Hotels.

This seems like an odd term in the fine print: Offer requires member to be an existing or new member of Ritz-Carlton Rewards as of March 14, 2011.  This reads to me like you must already be a member to be eligible for the gift card, yet the promotion page states, “Not a member? We invite you to enroll now.”

Terms state the gift card will be mailed 4 to 6 weeks after the conclusion of the promotion, so likely late July or August before gift card is received by member. Gift cards are valid at all Ritz-Carlton Hotels worldwide.

Disney offers a new promotion to celebrate each year for its theme parks around the world. For 2011, the promotion is called, "Let the Memories Begin".
As part of this promotion, Disney has a show called, "The Magic, the Memories and You". The stars of "The Magic, the Memories and You" are you and me, the guests of the Disneyland theme parks, past and present. A ten minute slide show is shown at least once a night on the face of the "Small World" attraction in Fantasyland. Disneyland has an entertainment schedule that they hand out at the theme park entrance that lists the times for this show each day. The number of performances depends on the time of the year and the day of the week.
So, what is this show all about? As a tribute to all of Disney's guests, past and present, 500 different photos and videos are chosen for each show to be presented in a slide show format. This is accompanied by spectacular special effects and lighting on the front of the Small World attraction. Classic Disney music plays in the background of this special show. The grand finale features fireworks that explode over the Small World attraction building.
So, how can your pictures and videos be considered for inclusion in this show? There are two ways. The first way is to submit your photos and videos on Disney's "Let the Memories Begin" website. This website can be accessed at http://memories.disneyparks.disney.go.com/ The second way is to have your photo taken before 3 pm each day by one of Disneyland's "PhotoPass" photographers in either Disneyland or Disney's California Adventure Park. You do not have to buy the photo to be eligible for consideration for the slide show. All of Disney's theme parks around the world have these two options available to their guests.
