Worst Feng Shui Mistakes to Avoid

Feng shui can lead to an unbalanced and dangerous flow of energy. You should avoid common feng-shui errors, from cleanliness to how you treat feng-shui items. We have compiled a list of them in case you're curious.

1. Incorrect Placement of Mirrors

Mirror placement is a common feng shui error that should be avoided. The bad feng-shui clan will place the mirror directly in front of your bed. A feng-shui friendly act does not permit you to place a mirror directly in front of your entrance gate. A mirror at the entrance is believed to send good energy. It is important to be careful with how you treat mirrors throughout the house.

How to Avoid It:

Do not place the mirror directly in front of your bed

Do not place the mirror in front of the entrance to your home.

2. Keeping Things You Don’t Like

Another major feng shui error is to hold on to the reminiscent projection of gloomy captures. If it is only able to revive the winds of despair, it is not a good gesture. Feng Shui charm does not allow you to let things that cause heartbreaks, accidents, or other negative events in your home. It is vital to keep any negative resemblances from your home and your headspace closed to ensure that you live a happy, healthy life.

How to Avoid It :

Give up on old possessions

Get rid of anything that can pull you into a negative mentality

Keep what you don't like.

3. Seat Reserved by Clutter

It is a big feng-shui error to give shelter to clutter in your home. Your home is where you can find laughter, a piece of cake, and a place to relax after a tiring day. Your home doesn't have to be in an unclean environment. Uncluttered spaces only encourage more clutter, which is contrary to feng shui principles. It blocks positive energy from entering your space and is associated with negative energy.

How to Avoid It

Regularly sweep and mop your home

De-clutter your home

Toss everything and anything that doesn't serve any purpose

4. Sad Little Plants

You are making your plants unhappy by neglecting to take care of them properly, this is a serious feng shui error. You are expected to instill newness, vitality, and luck into your home by planting plants. If they don't get the best care, it is not fair. Are there any dead plants in your home? Did you neglect to water your plants for a while? If you answered yes, then you know where you're going wrong.

How to Avoid It

Water plants should be tended to regularly

Let them enjoy enough sunshine

You should not dust your plants with too many layers.

5. House Full of Water Features

Excessiveness does no good. There is a limit to everything. This idea goes with feng shui too. Although flowing water features are considered to be one the most luck-enhancing feng shui elements for money and luck, they shouldn't be too much. You can't have water features in your home if you don't allow them. This will cause the water features to lose their benefits.

How to avoid it-

Use only one water feature in the house

Make sure it has the water flowing

Feng Shui Mistakes- Revolt, Don’t Reinvigorate

1. Mutual Funds

Mutual Funds are money that is pooled together by many investors and managed professionally by a fund manager. It's a trust that collects money on behalf of investors who share a common investment goal. The money can be invested in equities or bonds, as well as other financial instruments. Each investor owns a percentage of the fund's total assets.

Mutual funds can be a great investment option for early-stage investors, as they are easy and affordable to research and purchase. Most mutual funds require a minimum lump-sum investment of Rs. 1000 to Rs. Investors can invest as little as Rs. These funds allow investors to start a SIP for as low as Rs.100 each month. High-risk Mutual funds can offer annualized returns up to 30-35%. Section 80C allows mutual funds to be exempt from tax.

These are the top Mutual Funds that you can invest in.

ICICI Prudential Focused Bluechip Equity Fund

Aditya Birla Sun Life Small & Midcap Fund

Tata Equity PE Fund

HDFC Monthly Income Plan- MTP

L&T Tax Advantage Fund

2. Life Insurance Policies

The younger and more healthy you are, the less expensive life insurance will be. Because you get older, your chances of developing health problems that can increase the cost or make you uninsurable are higher. Life insurance policies are essential in your 20s.

Life insurance can be a smart financial decision. It provides a safety net for your loved one and beneficiaries in the event of your death. Your family might be dependent on your income, and you may have large educational loan debts. Your premium will not change if you purchase a policy for more than 30 years when you are still in your 20s. If you wait 15 years, your premium will increase. It is a good idea to buy insurance policies as soon as possible. You should have the following insurance plans in your portfolio:

Life insurance

Health Insurance

Personal accident/Disability coverage

Financial experts recommend against investing in Life Insurance policies as they have had poor returns.

3. Shares/ETFs

Simply put, investing in shares is like investing in businesses. You buy shares in a company and invest your money in its business. In return, the company pays dividends. Your investment in the company will increase as the company performs well.

Your 20s is a great age to learn about the share market and how you can invest in shares of different companies. Although the stock market can be volatile, it is crucial to identify the best companies to invest in. This is done by performing fundamental analysis as well as technical analysis of the company’s share price over time.

The right company can be very profitable over the long-term if you invest in it. For example, if 1 Lakh INR was invested in HAVELLS shares back in 2005, it would have grown 100x to 1 Crore by 2021. This is why it's important to invest in the right stocks in order to get more returns.

ETFs, also known as Exchange Traded Funds, are security products that track an Index sector or commodity. However, they can be bought or sold on the same stock exchange as regular stocks. NIFTY 50, a benchmark Indian stock exchange index, is the weighted average 50 largest Indian companies that are listed on the National Stock Exchange. These indexes can be invested in just like shares of any other company. Indexes are used to measure the performance of a particular sector, commodity, or asset and therefore are less risky than investing in shares.

4. Purchasing a House/ Investing in Real Estate

Buying a house is probably the biggest life goal for Indians between the ages group 22 to 45. A 2019 survey by Aspiration Index found that Indians aged 22 to 45 consider buying a house and saving money for their children's education to be the top long-term goals. A house is a good investment choice. A home is the most tangible asset that you can invest in, given India's obsession with tangible assets. Owning a home has the obvious financial advantage of price appreciation, which builds home equity. A home purchase can also bring tax benefits. Section 24 of the I-T Act allows interest deductions up to Rs 2 Lakh, which includes 1/5th interest earned during construction.

Although buying a home in your early years of working life can seem overwhelming, as you may not have sufficient capital to make a downpayment on a house during this time, it is possible to save enough money in your late 20s and start saving up for the down payment so that you can consider purchasing a house.

5. Fixed Deposits (FDs) and Recurring Deposits

Fixed deposits are a great way to increase savings while maintaining maximum safety. You can make a lump sum deposit with your bank/financier, and then choose the tenure that suits you best. The tenure ends and the deposit earns interest for the duration of the term at the rate you have set.

Like an emergency fund, it is always a good idea to have a short-term savings plan. You can keep an RD for 6 months to one year, which will ensure you have enough cash on hand. Many banks offer interest rates between 6% and 7%.

If you are looking for low-risk investment options that offer both security and liquidity, FDs or RDs can be a good option. You can begin investing in these instruments as early as your 20s.

6. Investing in Precious metals – Gold/Silver

India's people love to invest in precious metals such as Gold and Silver because they are a sought-after commodity for centuries. The rare and highly liquid asset of gold is unique. It is used to hedge currency risk and protect against inflation losses. Gold is a better investment than Silver because Silver prices are constantly under the shadow of the Gold market.

Let's compare the prices of 10 grams of Gold back in 2000 and 2021 to put the situation in perspective. The price for 10g of 24K gold in 2000 was as low as 4400 INR. In 2021, the price is almost 50,000 INR. This represents a gain of 1036% over 21 years (CAGR 12.27%). You can see that Gold is a smarter investment option than fixed deposits in Banks (7%) and low-risk mutual funds (8-10%).

If you are looking for an investment that is safe, liquid and offers decent annual returns, then Gold can be considered. Investing in Gold comes with storage risks and theft risks. Therefore, one should be careful and plan for safety and storage before investing.

7. PPFs

8. Cryptocurrencies

Cryptocurrencies are a popular, but risky, investment option that is gaining popularity. Cryptocurrencies can offer higher returns over a shorter period of time. BITCOIN is becoming a popular buzzword and investors are increasingly interested in investing in it.

Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies that use cryptography to protect their privacy and security. Blockchain technology is the basis of security. It is simply a shared digital ledger that is linked in blocks and then made available to the public in a shared network. Due to the complexity of interbank transactions globally, exchange rates must be considered. This can lead to higher transaction costs. Because they accept the same rate globally, cryptocurrencies solve the problem and allow transactions to be completed much quicker than the existing process. Cryptocurrencies will be used to make transactions quicker and easier for larger businesses as well as people who need to travel frequently to other countries.

It is important to learn about the various projects and understand the importance of cryptocurrency before you decide to invest. Bitcoin is the most widely used cryptocurrency and has the highest market capitalization. Ethereum and Binance Coin are close behind.

Augmented Reality (AR) is becoming more popular in all industries. AR isn't just for real estate. AR has the potential to make real estate buying and selling easier. It will enhance the marketing strategies used by realtors and provide home buyers with more memorable experiences. Augmented Reality has already been used in home design and land hunting apps.

Everyone has a smartphone or tablet from which they can access the Internet. These devices are advancing in technology every day. The modern technology in our pockets makes AR tools easier and more accessible. AR opens up new opportunities for real estate. The apps can be downloaded by both buyers and sellers to help them quickly find their dream house.

The most significant problems in the real estate industry are the time required to visit each potential customer's site and the lack of materials or the right tools to make them stand out. Augmented Reality softwares could be the right tool for realtors to help them improve their business and overcome these obstacles.

AR tools can be used by realtors to spark interest and provide a compelling experience for customers. Other agencies may use 2D prints, 3D models or detailed videos to describe a property. AR will help clients see the potential and explain what it could become.

It is difficult to change the function or decoration of a house or room for every client due to the time, energy, and money that house staging can take. It can be difficult to convince and impress different clients about the same space. AR software allows you to personalize your marketing materials so that clients have a personalized experience. Realtors can switch between different catalogs to make the same property available for singles or families. They can also use it as an office by simply switching between them. One room could be used as a nursery for a couple newly engaged or as a music studio by a single musician. It is possible to please all buyers by simply changing their perceptions with an AR view.

Advantages of Augmented Reality for Selling Real Estate

1. Enables a more favorable first impression

Augmented reality allows buyers to visualize the end result of new and renovated construction. It can be more difficult for buyers to visualize the final product and close the deal faster. AR marketing allows you to adjust the property's design, furniture, and surrounding to suit a buyer's tastes. Real estate agents are more likely to close a deal when they have all the information available.

2. Saves time and resources

AR allows prospective buyers to experience a property virtually, so they don't have to visit it in person. Buyers don't need to view a lot of open houses. Instead, they can choose the properties that are most suitable for them.

This saves time for the agent. Agents can now spend their time pursuing leads and not showing potential buyers around properties. Statistics show that tenants are more likely to sign a lease for an apartment that they have seen through an AR app. This allows them to take a tour and ask questions. It also records presentations. Why not make this work for you?

3. Reaches buyers far and wide 

Augmented reality can be a powerful tool for buyers who are unable to visit the property because they live outside of the country. Virtual tours give buyers an immersive experience and provide essential details.

This is also important for luxury properties that are being sold, since there is a smaller buyer pool and many potential buyers who live overseas.

4. Yields better return-on-investment (ROI)

Real estate agents can use augmented reality marketing data to quantify engagement. This information includes the number of people who viewed the listing, their times and locations as well as how long they spent viewing it.

These data can be used to help real estate agents determine if they should adjust their virtual reality marketing and which listings are most popular in order to optimize the next listing.

5. Real Time Information Access

Real estate agents provides printed catalogues. This might work if there is a lower lead count and fewer properties to be sold. Real estate agents will need a flexible solution if there are too many properties for sale and more customers.

Augmented reality is just like any other mobile app. It can be deployed once and run anywhere. Augmented reality provides real-time information no matter where you are. You can also get instant details about properties. This allows prospective customers to receive accurate information. This is possible with printed catalogs.

Augmented reality has another important advantage in the real estate industry. AR places digital information on physical objects and buildings. You can create augmented reality mobile apps to list properties or vacant spaces. You can point to buildings nearby and receive real-time information such as its amenities, floor space, and availability.

Being a landlord is not an easy job, regardless of whether you're based in another country, city, or local owner. Although you may be an excellent landlord and are very accommodating to tenants, this doesn't mean that you won't have stiff-necked tenants. Although tenant screening is essential, landlords sometimes have trouble with non-cooperative tenants, even though it may be the most difficult screening. Even the most well-informed residents can struggle to pay their rent on time, even if they have no vested interests.

Even if you have a good relationship with your tenant, it is possible to feel forced by the circumstances to ask them to leave. Evictions, as harsh as they sound, are just part of the business of renting properties. Sometimes, evictions can be as easy as asking your tenants to move out. Other times, you will need to go through the formal eviction process. If you need to go through a formal process, an eviction notice will be the first legal step taken by a landlord to expel a tenant who is not paying rent.

This article is for landlords who are in a similar situation. It will help you understand the eviction process and how to evict tenants. This is a step-by–step guide to creating an eviction notice.

Understand the laws

·Eviction laws – The laws of eviction vary from one state to the next. It is important to make a list of these laws and to fully understand them before you begin writing your lease agreement. This will give authority to both parties to the lease agreement.

·Tenancy act – Each state has its own tenancy law. The grounds a landlord can use to expel a tenant are limited to those laid out in the tenancy act. It is best to review the details to get a complete explanation of the legal aspects of an eviction process.

·Avoid self-help evictions – In every state, this is illegal. No matter what the circumstances, you should not try to force the tenant out by your own means or cause them any trouble. To avoid trouble, follow the legal procedures.

Establish valid ground for eviction

If you do not have a valid reason to evict them, or if they aren't complying with local laws, don't initiate the process. You will need to provide documentation of any claims you have against your tenant in order to get them out.

Give a formal eviction notice

You have established your rightful claim to evict your occupant because they are not cooperating with you. It is crucial that you follow all legal procedures.

First, give enough notice of eviction. This is a simple document that gives the tenant information about the reasons they are being evicted and the options they have to avoid it.

Be clear in your eviction notice. To avoid the tenant using the notice against your rights, stick to the facts. Consult your lawyer if you have any questions about how to create one.

How to create an eviction notice? Here are few tips for writing one:

·Use business language, whether it is English, Hindi, or another regional language. Use a business tone. Mention the address at the top of the page, the name of the tenant, and the date.

·Be sure to indicate the reason for the eviction and the possible violations of the lease conditions.

·The tenant may be able to take steps to remedy the situation, such as clearing rent payments. Give the tenant a deadline for completing the task.

·Mention the possible steps the tenant can undertake to resolve the situation – like clearance of rent payment. Do give a deadline to the tenant to meet the same.

.Take into account the tenure of the tenant renting your property. If the tenure is more than one year, you should have a stronger case for eviction.

·Congratulations! Your tenant now knows the situation and has inculcated research.

.Do not be intimidated by the legalities involved. There are many property and tenant management companies in India that can help.

It isn't as simple as it looks. Raising rent for tenants can be just as difficult as asking your boss for a raise.

Most landlords do not need to explain an increase in rent. A buffer period of at least four months is recommended. This will allow your tenant to adjust to the new rent and establish a good relationship.

It is however not easy, as both tenants and owners are bound by a contractual agreement. There are legal procedures involved.

Understandably, you might feel a little nervous when approaching your tenant about a rent increase. A confrontation could lead to property damage from an angry tenant. If you take some steps while increasing your rent, you can reduce the tension and make the hike a routine that every tenant can follow.

So if you are worried about how to increase property rent, follow these steps:

Add a minor rent hike during each period of lease renewal :

Tenants might expect a slight increase in rent when they renew their lease. Tenants will not be happy if you suddenly raise the rent by a few thousand Rupees after charging the same rent for years. It is best to raise the rent by only 3-5% per annum. This will ensure that your tenants don't get caught unaware and can accommodate the rent increase in their monthly budget.

Send notice prior to lease-end :

60 days before the termination of your lease, it is best to notify your tenants of any increase in rent. A written notice should be sent to all tenants. This will ensure that no one can deny the increase later and it will also help you determine what your tenant might want. You will be able to market the property and conduct house visits if your tenant refuses to renew their lease.

You can also implement some other strategies to increase rent without tenants objecting. These ideas focus on how house remodeling can increase the property's market value, which in turn will result in an increase in rent.

These home decor ideas will help you increase your rental income.

Visual appeal upgrade :

Your property's first impression of potential tenants will determine if they are interested in viewing the interior. A key step in increasing rent is to improve the property's exterior. An attractive exterior with a well-kept driveway and landscaping makes your property feel welcoming. An attractive exterior will usually lead to a beautiful interior. An attractive property will attract a tenant who is willing to pay more rent than one that is less desirable.

Fresh paint :

Paint is the best home decor option when it comes to increasing your property rental. The appearance of your house and rooms can be instantly updated with a fresh coat of paint. You can paint the walls, ceilings, and panels with bright colors or other textures. Light colors can make small rooms appear larger and more spacious. You should avoid using neon green or hot pink colors. If you are unsure about the color choices, hire a professional. Prospective tenants will pay more for a property that has been freshly painted.

Effective landscaping :

This is something that most property owners don't give much credence to, but good landscaping can greatly increase your rent. Ask a landscape architect for a free assessment of your property and to give you some suggestions. Your home will be more appealing if you use straight lines, geometric shapes, and minimal decorative elements. Sometimes, all you need are a few trees, native plants, and natural paths. It is possible to transform a house's appearance by putting the right elements in the right places. This is especially true if you are trying to increase the rental income. If you make your property attractive, even existing tenants will pay more rent.

Bathrooms :
