Sutherland Global Employees in High Spirits by Zerith Paul

Headquartered in Rochester, New York, Sutherland is a leading BPO company that offers customer management and consulting services to various industrial sectors. Almost 70% of the company clients consist of Fortune 500 companies and the company employs more than 12000 employees worldwide.

I am a Team Lead working with Sutherland Global since the past 1year and 8 months. I am glad I got selected and feel great pleasure in being part of this great company that has reached heights of success through its competent leadership, proven processes and skilled workforce.

Of late I read a few unconstructive comments about the company on the Internet. Talking about these continuous attacks on the company's reputation by a few frustrated employees, I would like to say that it is nothing but an attempt by a few irresponsible ex-employees and their friends. I have read many such posts myself and can sense their malicious motives.

Being part of Sutherland team, I feel it is the responsibility of each and every Sutherland employee to ensure that a few unhappy people should not succeed in their wrong intentions through powerful Internet medium. The fact that people believe criticism and negative statements easily is really unfortunate.

The truth however, is that Sutherland Global is a world-class company that cares for its employees. The company offers best infrastructure, competent pay packages and opportunities for career advancement. There are many employees who are part of this organization since more than 5 years and are happy being linked with the company.

Take a look at what a few of my colleagues have to say about their experience in Sutherland Global:

I am part of Sutherland Global since 4 years and I like being part of this company for the fact that they are through professionals. I never felt any discrimination or discontentment ever. There are team issues at times but they are sorted amicably. Yes, there have been cases of dismissals but they were not wrongful. I guess it is part of the corporate world. People get chucked out when they show attitude for wrong reasons. You got to respect your job man! ~ Patrick Nicolson - Team Lead (Sutherland employee since 2002)

-------------------------

Sutherland gave me a perfect career opportunity. I joined as a fresher last year and now am quite confident dealing with customers. I am constantly learning new things and am thankful to my mentors and colleagues who have been supportive. It's fun to be part of Sutherland Global Services. ~ James Cazelli (Sutherland employee since 2003)

-----------------------

I am working with very competent and confident managers who know what they want. I am part of the collections team and when customers make big payments, the feeling is awesome. I find this job really interesting of convincing people to make payments. ~ Gina Feldman ((Sutherland employee since 2006)

I love the work culture at Sutherland Global. This is my third job and when I compare this place to previous companies I worked for I would surely give Sutherland 5 stars. The events that are organized from time to time are really exciting and break the monotony of work. ~ Thomas Calloway (Sutherland employee since 2004)

----------------------------

From my experience I know that there are people in this organization who have done really well for themselves and the organization too. I am one of them. Sutherland Global values its employees' contributions in its success. ~ Leo Sachs (Sutherland employee since 2003)

IT INDUSTRY IN SINGAPORE by Paul Geller

An entrepot in the early stages of development, Singapore is now preparing itself to move from an industrialized economy to a knowledge intensive information economy. Singapore has enjoyed remarkable economic growth in the past years. There has been tremendous growth in the IT industry in Singapore too. Information technology has become an indispensable phenomenon for Singaporeans starting from education to entertainment, from official work to everyday communication. The increasing number of BPO hubs and call centers in Singapore in recent times have also played an important role in further development of the IT sector. The incessant boom in IT industry has also created awareness among people regarding the need for computer literacy.

In 2006, the World Competitiveness report has ranked Singapore as the second most competitive country. From the year 1989 Singapore has also been equipped with an advanced telecommunication infrastructure - ISDN technology. Almost 30% of the households in Singapore have access to personal computers and the rest of 70% constitute the professional sector. As far as computer literacy amongst employees is concerned, Singapore was ranked second highest in the world.

The government of Singapore too has recognized the importance of the IT industry in its economic growth in the twenty-first century. The National Computer Board (NCB), which is an agency focused on the development of the IT sector in Singapore, was set up in 1981 by the government to build up a workforce for the IT industry in Singapore. It also has a target to enable Singapore to enter the information age.

The growth of the IT industry in Singapore has been remarkable over the last five years. On an average it has been approximately 18% per year, but in 1994 the growth was enormous at 34%. This so far has been the highest record. But the progression has nevertheless reduced. The government is ready to invest more in the IT industry to bring about more awareness among every man in the street

Education System plays an important role in any nation building process. Computers have become an inevitable part of education system for its administrative purposes in Singapore. Initiative has been taken by the government to provide schools with PC's and to link them to the rest of the world. Teachers and students are trained for handling the computers and using Internet.

Thus there has been an overall development of the IT industry in Singapore. It is still growing and will in no time become the forerunner of business development in the continent.

Reaping The Benefits Of Globalization And Technology by catya

In this era of rapid technological advances, the business sector has done well to adapt and exploit the enormous advantages of scientific and techno-innovations to improve their operations and bottomline. Technology gave birth to several innovations in telecommunications such as the local and international direct dial telephone system, fax machines, computers, and the Internet. These innovations are used to improve the performance of business organizations in terms of operations and marketing. Through these innovations, business have faster and wider reach in terms of sales, services, and advertising.

Moreover, business organizations have also made possible the exchange of cultures and ideas across the continents. At no other time in human history has the exchange of goods and ideas been more prevalent as it is today. The world had become "flat" in terms of how information is shared and received; how business and trade is done; and how people from different countries interact with each other. Science and technology has broken down walls and divisions that have kept many countries and people apart.

In the early days of globalization, people were afraid that it would usher in an era of unprecedented monopoly and control over the world economy by a few powerful, industrialized nations. After economic safety nets were put in place, it is now possible for small countries to gradually penetrate the market of the larger, more advanced nations. Through technology, smaller nations can now "play in the big leagues" that were traditionally dominated by the economic giants and superpowers.

In business, bountiful benefits are still being enjoyed by many companies as a result of technological research and innovation. For example, the Internet has made it possible to communicate with other people and companies across the oceans in real-time. It has enabled trouble-free communication during a business meeting or in the middle of a business production process. The Internet became an integral part of doing business, changing the way transactions are made between individuals and companies worldwide. The Internet has allowed business organizations to go beyond many boundaries in the way they communicate and conduct business.

Indeed, the Internet and the phenomenon called globalization revolutionized the way business and trade is done. The Internet and globalization gave birth to new industries such as Business Process Outsourcing or BPO. The BPO industry actually includes many business such as the contact center services, accounting services, web-design, and other back-office services. The contact or call center is the most rapidly expanding segment of the BPO industry. Contact centers are centralized offices that are established for the task of receiving large volumes of inquiries by telephone. These companies also offers low-cost customer service and sales. Tele-messaging, order collection, and outbound calls are also some of the usual functions that are performed by call center companies. BPO companies also design solutions based on the companies background and business needs. These providers evaluate companies to see if they possess the right technology and process to achieve their target goals and outputs. To reduce operating costs that come with the use of new technology and the hiring of additional personnel, many companies today choose to outsource many of their business production requirements.

One example of outsourced business operation is the virtual receptionist solutions, which is a group of people who answer telephone calls and divert these calls to the appropriate office or individual. This solution also allows companies to take in messages from clients, customers, and partners even after office hours. giving small businesses a chance to market themselves 24/7. Virtual service solutions services includes voice-activated call transfers to employees; voicemails with unlimited mailboxes for employees; and voice mail sent by email, phone, and Internet. In addition, this type of solution provides the caller with general company information like the normal office hours and driving directions.

Time, distance, and geography are fast becoming irrelevant when it comes to doing business due to globalization and technological advancements. The good news is, these sweeping changes have also helped companies to improve their profitability and expand their market reach.

Philippines to be Number 1 in BPO by George C. Kintanar

BPO will be widespread and a family by-word in every Filipino household.

Without much fun fare, global marketing and globe trotting, the Philippines became a natural choice and a preferred destination by Global Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) companies today. This phenomenon came about just through word of mouth from existing BPO players in the country. After setting their back offices in country BPO global players learned from their back office experiences how world class the Filipinos were when it comes to the voice services. BPO companies realized how Filipinos were excellent in their command of fluent English with a neutral accent.

Today, the call center or contact centers has become widespread in major cities and a success story to all stakeholders. As the word of mouth is passed on to other BPO players, the Philippines' next challenge is to keep pace with the fast growing BPO Industry. Our country should focus all its attention on TRAINING a good deal of human resource desired by the growing BPO industry.

The Brain drain of Filipinos leaving to seek for work abroad has been happening annually over the past years reaching its peak of 1 million Filipinos leaving to work abroad just for the year 2006 alone. Information Communications Technology (ICT) through BPO is the sunshine industry sector that could provide the necessary alternative to the brain drain syndrome.

If we want the Philippines to become the global leader in outsourcing, the country's thrust should center our attention to TRAINING. ICT in my language stands for - I for infrastructure (the connectivity needed), C for content - (the software or application), T- for training - (provide the much-needed human resource).

The global potential for outsourcing is in the trillions of dollars. We can capture a major slice of that if we uplift and leap frog our educational and human resource training components. The Philippines will only be number 1 depending on the absorptive capacity of the human resource needed by the growing and expanding global BPO industry.

My thrust at the Philippines USA Business Club (PUBC) of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) of which I sit as ICT Committee Chairman had also been directed towards reaching out to the US BPO market. 50% of that global outsourcing market comes from the United States. Our Kababayans in the US, to what is known to us as the Filipino Americans (FILAm) can offer a steady and continuous supply of market as BPO marketing advocates while back home we continue our national BPO training programs through the educational institutions of learning which PCCI/PUBC intends to spread at the grassroots level.

The plan is for PCCI/PUBC to create and establish ICT local chapters for businessmen to the different local chambers of commerce nationwide. My earlier advise to local businessmen then was to invest in back office provisioning but now we should also include BPO training centers to support the huge demand for human resource in the sector.

PCCI/PUBC should already identify BPO champions in the local business chambers of commerce all over the country and create BPO training centers of excellence. My vision is for BPO to become prevalent from the national down to the grassroots level.

My energies will center on advocating high value BPO services rather than just the traditional voice services. The non-voice services are, architectural & engineering, finance and accounting, computer aided design, animation, software and wireless applications development and many others. Our ultimate goal and target is for BPO to become widespread and a family by-word in every Filipino household.

Interface Design Service Outsourcing for User Optimized Interface by Darshit

Almost all the technological inventions being made seems to take in a seamless blend of sophistication and complication at their functioning phase. And it happens quite often that the end-users of these products are nearly blinded of the technicalities involved in them. The growing popularity of computer user interface designing boils down to a concept much similar to this. Creating an effective user interface design is a hard churned out job by a set of highly dedicated designers and software engineers. Here their efforts are weighed based on how well the interface augments the user experience, which is undoubtedly the key to acceptance.

As they say, outsourcing is in the air that has given the global business scenario a perfect facelift in terms of cost-effectiveness and efficiency. And why not, software application development too experiences the boom, with user interface design services being outsourced to far-off nations. From the user perspective, user interface is a collection of well placed controls or displays meant to interact with the computer. So the more simple the design is, the more is its efficacy. Thus creating an effective user interface put complications on the higher side, as it is one among the most decisive components involved in software application designing.

In order to claim a user interface a user optimized interface it asks for a rather systematic approach in the designing front. Accepting the importance and technicalities involved, seeking for professional help is just the way to go about it. By outsourcing interface design services benefits prevail over the few downsides, where it signals not just getting experienced hands on the project, but a cutback in direct staff and cost. By joining hands with the lead players in the industry most of the web-based as well as software application development requirements will be covered. Experts in user interface design can well juggle the hardware and software demands that their clients come up with.

Anyhow, with suitable amount of research and groundwork being applied it wouldn't be quite a demanding task to make your way to the best players in the field that handle interface design services.

Hi-Tech Outsourcing Services (http://hitechexport.com/) is a certified company that flaunts a solid client base, with their dedicated efforts extending to BPO and KPO services. Seriously into software development and website development services, the company is keen on delivering customized application software solutions.

PARTIES INVOLVED IN A SHORT SALE by Oscar Morante

Are you interested in pre-foreclosures and short sales? This is the 6th in of a series of pre-foreclosure investing articles published in this magazine. Short sales are one of real estates most thrilling acquisition strategies. Short sales are about obtaining properties at good prices by resolving peoples problems. Short sales are multi player win-win transactions. Here are the parties involved in a short sale. Satisfy them all and you will be rewarded!

Home Owner

Properties in foreclosure tend to have problematic title issues. Officially, the owner is the person appearing in the county records as owner of the property. The ownership of the property is shown in the document known as deed or title. The easiest way to know who the owner of the property is, is by obtaining a trio from a local title company. The best way to confirm all the parties with right of ownership on a property is to read the title report.

Often properties have more than one owner. This is because property can be co-owned by a married couple, friends or business associates. This will be immediately evident in the deed. However the deed may not show all the present owners because owners can be added or taken out of title via quit claim deeds or other similar title instruments. That is why, when it comes to finding all the owners of a property, nothing beats a title report.

The home owner is not necessarily always the same person as the mortgagor. This is not uncommon with properties in foreclosure.

Mortgagor

The mortgagor is the person that took a loan and secured it with the property in foreclosure. The mortgagor is the person legally responsible for paying. The best way to know who the mortgagor is, is to see the document known as the deed of trust or trust deed.The mortgagor will be listed as grantor. See sample.

It is often with properties in foreclosure that the mortgagor and the owner are not the same person. Below are a few examples of the cause of this situation.

* The property gets deeded to another person without refinancing. Properties that have been bought subject to existing financing have this problem.

* Properties in which, because of divorce, where there are two mortgagors home owners, one of the home owners has quit claimed out the property to the other person without refinancing.

Under both of this conditions the mortgagor that quit claimed out of the property or deeded the property to someone else has no ownership rights over the property but are still fully responsible for the mortgage.

Creditors

Creditors are all institutions, businesses or individuals secured through trust deed or lien by the property . Creditors secured by a property can include banks, individuals, municipalities, home owner association (HOA), ex-spouses claiming child support, etc.

Properties in foreclosure often have more than one creditor. To buy a property in a short sale the investor needs to negotiate and settle with each of the creditors, one by one. The best way to confirm who all the secured are is to review the title report.

Loss Mitigation Officers

This is the banks representative assigned to resolve the issues associated with a defaulted loan. When dealing with banks, the loss mitigation officer is the person with which short sales are negotiated. Loss mitigation officers work for the banks loss mitigation department.

The loss mitigation department is the banks unit in charge avoiding, reducing, and minimizing losses due to loans in default. Most banks have an actual loss mitigation department, separate from everything else. Loss mitigation officers are debt collectors. As such any information given to them will be used to collect on the debt.

Trustee

The trustee is the person or entity in charge of foreclosing the property in behaves of lender. The trustee is usually an attorney firm dedicated to performing default services for lenders. Some of these firms, such as Northwest Trustees, Regional Trustees and Cal Western Reconveyance are very large, with hundreds of employees, and are foreclosing at any one time several hundred properties. Other firms are smaller real estate attorney firms.

The specific function of the trustee is to foreclose, according to law, in behalves of a lender, in order to collect on a debt. In addition, depending of the specific agreement with the lender, the following additional services are additionally performed.

* Provision of payoff statements * Collection of payments * Negotiation of short sales * Collateral preservation (lock-up and winterizes the property if vacant)

To learn more about the trustee services see the following trustee websites.

Northwest Trustees - www.northwesttrustee.com

Regional Trustees - www.rtrustee.com

B ishop , W hite & M arshal - www.bishoplynchwhite.com

Trustees very greatly on how accessible and easy to deal with they are . Some of them, such as North West Trustees have user friendly web sites, an available specific assigned representative with a direct phone line and a quick response time. Other, can only reached through 1-800 numbers with multiple menus to pass through, long waiting periods and no specific representative to deal with. Unfortunately, when it comes to dealing with the trustee there is no choice. You have to work with whoever you have to. Because of this, the profit potential of the transaction must justify it.

Additional Lien Holders

These are any other creditors or lenders secured by the property. These include first mortgages, second mortgages, judgment liens, tax warrant liens, city and county taxes, home owners association (HOA) liens, contractors mechanics liens, etc. The best way to locate them is in the title report.

By far the most common type of additional lien holder is the second mortgage lender secured by a property in default in which the first mortgage is foreclosing. The majority of the good short sale profit opportunities come from this situation. Under these circumstances the second mortgage lender is compelled to discount because most likely it will loose more principal if the property is sold at auction. That is why second mortgages always have higher interest rate than first mortgages.

Title Company

A title company is a neutral party that examines the title, issues a preliminary title report, acts as escrow (or settlement) agent, records documents, and issues the title insurance policies for a transaction . The main business of most title companies is to sell title insurance and close real estate transactions. Escrow is the closing a real estate transactionwhen all required documents and funds are placed with a third party for processing and disbursement.

Title companies want to do as many transactions as possible. They need the investor to be successful and close a lot of transactions with them. To help the investor do this, title companies provide great resources. These include real estate investing essentials such as:

* Property information * Farm lists * NOD lists * Access to online real estate information

Escrow Agent or Officer

The escrow agent is the title companys representative engaged in closing a transaction. This is the person that will be handling, in behalf of the title company, all the documents and funds needed to close a transaction. Escrow officers are regulated by the state and the title company they work at. An escrow agent willing to work in short sale transactions is one of the most important and valuable members of the pre-foreclosure investor team. Not all escrow agents are interested in working in short sales.

Appraiser

The appraiser is a licensed third party professional who estimates the dollar value of a property. An appraisal is the estimated dollar value of a property based on a detail study of the property.

Appraisers are involved in determining the value of property in foreclosure only when the bank requests it. This is usually when the loan is government guaranteed, about 30% of the time. Appraisals cost over $400 and Broker Price Opinions cost less than $100. Either way, they give the same result because both use the comparable value method of to determine the value of a property.

Appraisers and BPO Realtors are usually hired by the bank through a third party company dedicated to serving exclusively this need of the foreclosure industry. One of the larger companies dedicated to this is Asset Valuation and Marketing (AVM). Companies such as AVM have a large pool of appraisers and BPO Realtor. The main difference between an appraisal and a BPO is that the appraisal is a formally presented and printed study on the value of the property.

BPO Realtors

BPO means Brokers Price Opinion. BPO Realtors are realtors that provide property price opinions. Because of price difference, lenders usually hire for BPO rather than appraisal.

Brokers that do BPOs are usually in the business of listing bank owned properties. These realtors usually get paid less than $100 for each BPO. The main reason for a realtor to want to do BPOs is to get bank owned listings. The problem is that this creates conflict of interest. For them the more properties make it back to the bank the better. However, the chances of the same realtor that did the BPO getting to list the property if it gets repossessed are low. Because of this it is good to always be professional and be in good terms with the BPO realtor.

SHORT SALES: 3 Key Factors Gurus NEVER Tell You About How To Do Short Sales by Charles Emery

For those of you who are new to the Short Sale arena or new to real estate investment, let's first define what a "short sale" is and what it's SUPPOSED to accomplish. A short sale is the process of negotiating with a Mortgage Lender to convince them to accept less than the Homeowner's mortgage balance as payment in full. A Short Sale is generally a great strategy to use when a homeowner is behind on their payments and owes close to or more than what the property is actually worth. The state of being "Upside Down" (Debt > Equity) is the ideal situation when targeting short sale candidates and getting these deals done successfully on a consistent basis.

Negotiating a short sale is SUPPOSED to help the Lender and the Homeowner in default by preventing the foreclosure, wiping the slate clean for the Homeowner, and providing that Homeowner with an opportunity for a fresh start--and providing the investor with a substantial discount vs. Fair Market Value (FMV) to earn a reasonable profit on the immediate sale or on a fix & flip sale down the road. However, it doesn't always work out that way. Experience has taught me that these 3 Key Factors are HUGE components of the harsh reality you can expect throughout the short sale negotiation & completion process.

KEY SHORT SALE FACTOR #1:

In spite of the reality that we're in the midst of a tremendous foreclosure tsunami, some Lenders are still irrational and downright idiotic in their decision-making process. Case & Point: GMAC will only accept short sales that come in @ 90~100% of fair market value (FMV). So, they've effectively taken the "short" out of "short sale"! Now ain't that just dandy? OK, time to whip out your calculators and see how much profit we real estate investors can bang out buying short sales @ 95% of FMV. Hello! Time for a reality check!

KEY SHORT SALE FACTOR #2:

Regardless of the fact that we always include a line item on our Purchase & Sales Agreement (PSA) stating: "This offer is contingent upon Buyer arranging for [Lender] to accept $________ as full payment WITHOUT pursuit of a deficiency judgment against Seller for the mortgage that Mortgagee holds on the Property", some Lenders completely IGNORE that contractual line item. For example, HSBC is notorious for NOT waiving deficiency judgments.

Buried among the standard jargon on HSBC's short sale acceptance letter is "HSBC Mortgage Services will retain the note on this loan. The customer shall be responsible for any deficiency remaining on the balance. All terms of the original note shall remain in force." Wait a minute! So, HSBC agrees to do the short sale so long as they don't end up short? They'll discount their lien as long as they get the whole thing!? Wow! What a deal! The bottom line is that after you've painstakingly negotiated to get HSBC to agree to accept a short sale you realize that you've been hoodwinked because the deal is contingent upon the fact that it's NOT really a short sale at all. Welcome to Crazy World!

The slick tactic here is that HSBC is making a brazen attempt to get your clients to bind themselves contractually to pay the deficiency as part of this "short sale" (ya know, the kind where they'd still owe 'em everything). C'mon guys! We've gotta stand firm and do like Nancy Reagan on this one--JUST SAY "NO"!

In spite of the existence of less-than cooperative Lenders with unhealthy attitudes, this HAS to become the Golden Age of Short Sales because Lenders simply can NOT keep being idiots and stockpiling REOs in perpetuity. Something's gotta give!

Real Estate Profit Pro (REPP), an indispensable tool created & developed by my mentor, friend, and confidant--mega successful real Estate Investor, GERALD ROMINE is THE system that all PROFESSIONAL real estate investors should use to quickly & efficiently prepare short sale paperwork AUTOMATICALLY. So when the foreclosure glut causes the mortgage industry to implode (more acutely than it already has) as a result of the Lenders' own greed & lack of foresight, since YOU will have access to this information and powerful tools like Real Estate Profit Pro, you'll be fully prepared to swoop in, clean up the bloody mess, then reap your profits using REPP--your powerful secret weapon to complete massive short sale packages in just minutes.

When you've made the wise decision to get REPP & real estate investment superstar Gerald Romine on your side, you too will be armed & ready to locate & complete the REAL Deals with the Lenders that will eventually be FORCED to become flexible enough to work with you to help them put an end to the foreclosure glut and CREATE WINNING SITUATIONS for Homeowners, Lenders, YOU, and your real estate investment business!

KEY FACTOR #3:

There's one document that none of my colleagues ever seem to include in their short sale packages perhaps because I've never seen it on the documentation list of HOW TO DO SHORT SALE programs. Since that document didn't exist, I just had to invent what I call the Offer Price Determination (OPD), which basically walks the Lender through the process of exactly how we've determined our offer price. A sample of our unique, Radiant Properties LLC OPD is available to you for FREE on our website, with which I'll provide you below.

For those of us who've endured the short sale process, we're aware that influencing the BPO (Broker's Price Opinion) is perhaps THE most critical aspect of getting our short sale offer accepted and closing the deal. When I personally meet the BPO Broker at the subject property, I hand her or him the BPO Packet that I've carefully prepared just for them. That BPO Packet generally includes:

* Comps @ or near our offer price

* Detailed Rehab/Repair Estimate

* Homeowner/Seller's Hardship Letter

* PSA

* OPD

Since many Lenders are still in SERIOUS denial about this foreclosure mess that THEY created, realistically, some short sales will work--others won't. So, the idea is to be sure to have a system in place to analyze deals and make offers quickly. Since I've been fortunate enough to have direct access to Gerald Romine and Real Estate Profit Pro since my very first real estate investment deal, I must admit that I've been operating at a tremendously unfair advantage vs. my competition. The GREAT NEWS is that you too can get this REPP unfair advantage! Just go to:

Offshore Outsourcing in the Philippines and SEO Contest

Call center companies are all over the country since the late 1990s. Now a new range of BPO solutions are slowly gaining ground and the country is now ready to compete with the rest of the world, the first stop is India's outsourcing companies.

I have talked with some people living in the U.S. and they hated the idea that many people in their country have lost their jobs because the companies they worked decided to go to third world countries to get cheap labor. But this is the new way the business is being done, the poor countries are given the opportunity for their country to progress.

Once I went to a new BPO company in Makati, Philippines and found out that they are hiring just about any kind of profession, including the non-IT related jobs such as Architecture and Translation services.

The Philippines' first SEO competition, the Isulong SEOPH is getting so much attention that everybody from SEO companies to freelancers, to amateur individuals try to reach the top 1 on the spot for the Google Search Engine Results Page.

We still have a long way to go compared with India's BPO services, but thanks to contests like these, the world is starting to notice the potential of the Filipino people to be able to provide quality and affordable offshore outsourcing solutions for worldwide clients.

The Simple Rule Every Real Estate Investor Should Know About Buy & Flip Residential Investing

Although there are several formulas that real estate investors can use when trying to determine the value of a real estate investment (cost, income and comparable sales approaches), what formula can a real estate investor use to make sure that they “make money when they buy and not just when they sell”?

Yes, things like property appreciation, making improvements or renovations, etc. will boost the property’s value but what happens when you over pay for a real estate investment?---it could take several years for you to finally breakeven (when the market finally catches up).

I have developed a formula called the BPO or Best Possible Offer Rule to assist real estate investors in determining price offer parameters/counteroffer guidelines when investing in residential real estate.

The BPO rule requires that the real estate investor think and place a value to the various expenses associated with buying, holding and selling property---if the BPO rule is followed to a tee, never again will a real estate investor find themselves short changed at the end of a real estate investment.

Use the following formula when attempting to calculate the best possible real estate investment offer:

BPO = CMV - BHS Fees – Profit

Acronym Definitions:

BPO = Best Possible Offer

CMV = Current Market Value

BHS Fees = Buying/Holding/Selling Fees

Here is a real time example to allow you to see how it works---let’s assume that you have found a real estate investment with a current market value (CMV) of $100,000 and that you want to gross 10% of the acquisition price (PROFIT) and account for $20,000 in various closing/lending/realtor fees in your counteroffer.

Based upon this example, your counteroffer could not exceed $70,000---

BPO = 100,000 – 20,000 – 10,000 (10% of CMV)

BPO = 70,000

The exponential wealth in real estate investing is created on all sides of the transaction---making money when you buy, hold and finally sell the property. By making money on the front end, you reduce your overall risk and increase your chances to greater ROI (return on investment) & profits.

In today’s market, paying too much for a property can lead to a negative cash flow (if you are renting) or being upside down (when your mortgage is worth more then your property)---this type of financial holocaust can be avoided, if you do the math…

BPO Outsourcing To India – Major Advantages

India is probably the leader of offshore BPO outsourcing, and there are certain reasons why executives in American countries tend to entrust their BPO needs to their Indian colleagues.

Firstly, India possesses a well-developed system of higher education, which accounts for about 85,000 graduates each year, who can boast of a solid reputation in the international business community.

Secondly, with the help of BPO outsourcing to India an American firm can reduce their costs up to 40-50% percent in comparison with the sum of money they would have to pay to an American or European employee for a similar job. This gives an organization a great chance to stand out in front of their competitors. Thirdly, employees of BPO outsourcing companies are Indians, who strive for quality and carefully work with the customers' data ensuring a perfect accuracy level.

Next, in comparison with many developed European countries, Indian BPO outsourcing resources luxuriate in computer literate workers, who speak English as their first language. This makes them cost effective compared to other outsourcing countries.

BPO outsourcing call centers are frequently located in India as the country has one of the biggest telecommunications networks in Asia, which counts around 25 million telephone cables, and is constantly expanding. Numerous companies, private owners and government agencies have installed around 8500 VSATs throughout India, making it easier to gather all the necessary information.

A BPO outsourcing company in India can help you effectively run business 24 hours a day, as the time zone difference between the two countries provides a chance for Indian colleagues to go on with the business, when their American colleagues go to bed. Quick turnaround time is a clear privilege of many BPO outsourcing companies.

Sharing business risks is one more reason for hiring a BPO outsourcing staff in India. When you delegate some of your tasks to your Indian partners, you do not have to think about the staffing problems at the peak of vacations, about the management and education of employees, as well as the probable renovation of technologies and equipment, which you may never use in future due to the constant development of the IT sphere.

Thus, for the reasons mentioned and not mentioned here, India can be considered an ideal place for the BPO outsourcing company to look for and is on top of the list of the most famous outsourcing countries.

BPO Companies – What Are They

Some experts offer to divide all BPO companies into two main groups: back office BPO companies and front office BPO companies, depending on the nature of work and the necessity to be or not to be in contact with customers. Further, the BPO companies are divided into offshore outsourcing, nearshore outsourcing and onshore outsourcing businesses, depending on the country, where the outsourcer is situated.

Some of the most widely spread BPO companies are represented by call centers, data entry specialists, offshore bookkeepers, tax preparation specialists, accountants, email answering specialists, online customer support, image processing specialists, form processing specialists, hr help, translators, copywriters, transcription specialists, billing services , database marketers, telemarketers, web sales and marketing professionals, and many other specialists. This list is constantly expanding.

In most cases, BPO companies are located overseas. Despite the seeming inconvenience of hiring an overseas specialist, and not being able to fully control the work of such an employee, BPO companies remain one of the fastest growing industries in today’s so much globalised offshore IT market. What are the reasons for such a phenomenon? There are actually many of them, the most important of which is the reducing of production costs, while getting the work done by professional specialists. Sounds like a dream? Not any more. BPO companies are a logical consequence of the globalizing IT market.

Hiring a BPO company usually implies that several of your business risks are shared with the outsourcing firm, which purchases and installs the necessary equipment, software, manages the work force at its own costs. This allows the hiring companies plan long-term projects and set long-term goals, which are not exposed to high risks of failure.

It is estimated that the main competitors on the BPO market are BPO companies arising from India, South Africa, the Philippines, Eastern Europe and China. These countries and India in particular, largely assist small- and medium-sized companies which seek to boost their business profits with the help of cost-effective techniques.

India is by far a country of the greatest number of IT specialists, many of whom work for BPO companies. Taking into consideration the low average-sized salaries on the Indian market, and the huge potential and high level of IT education in the country, one can consider India and its BPO companies a great way to reduce the costs of the business, allocating more funds to the other important sectors of the firm.

The experts predict that businesses will be outsourcing more and more in the future, taking into consideration the constantly growing number of BPO companies and the cheapening of services offered. Therefore, it is a good chance for many to try outsourcing, when they haven’t started yet.

How To Get A Slam Dunk On Your BPO's For A Short Sale

The key to a successful short sale depends on you convincing the BPO agent that the house is worth what you are asking. The only way you can get a low price from the agents is to provide rehab details and to give your low comps for the area. Obviously gaining rapport with the agent will definitely help.

Here is the Information you need to give the BPO agent or appraiser when you meet them at the property. You will have to meet them at the property that you are trying to short sale.

1. Run comps – we have a realtor run comps for us from the MLS. If you do not have a realtor, use Zillow or Truila.

2. Take photos of the surrounding neighborhood, subdivision, or area. Also take photos that show the damage to the house and take photos that will show off the house so that you can use them to market the house.

3. Inspect the overall condition of the home and estimate the cost of repair. We put together a contractor sheet to give to the BPO agent or appraiser (remember banks may send an appraiser instead of a BPO agent).

4. Help the BPO agent or appraiser formulate an idea of the properties value based on the information that was gathered. Realtors know a lot about real estate but may not know a lot about rehab or areas of town where they do not sell homes. That is why you need to be there at the properties when the BPO is being done, so you can work with the agent on assessing a fair market price for you and the bank.

BPO's are the key to huge discounts so focus on doing this correctly and you should be able to get huge discounts.
