Future is booking tickets to Space.

When I say booking tickets to space, the first name to strike your mind might be Elon Musk. Sorry to disappoint you, I am not even going to include his name in further sentences. Yes, you read it right. Apart from the advancement of SpaceX rockets and his lunar as well as Mars tourism endorsements, there's a lot of things to talk about in the Space Tourism commercialization front.

Starting from Yuri Gagarin's Vostok-1 launch to Christina Koch's longest stay in space, space travel has come a long way facing many crests and troughs. And now the bubbles of space tourism surfacing the public platforms are creating new peaks among the space enthusiasts. Space tourism is not new to this era. It has already been inaugurated and explored by the Russian Space Agency in the early 2000s. Dennis Titto, the first space tourist and an American entrepreneur bought the first-ever space travel ticket costing him a huge $20 million. In his 60th year, his childhood dream got fulfilled when he boarded a Russian Soyuz rocket to the International Space station in 2001 coordinated by Space Adventure Ltd. However, the RSA closed the space tourism program in 2010 even after executing many tourist missions due to an increase in the ISS crew size. From then onwards, many agencies and companies have been trying to successfully premier their space tourism endeavors.

Space travel is generally classified into three types. The first one is suborbital space travel, the second is orbital space travel and the last one is space travel beyond earth's orbit. Space tourism has pinned a lot of badges when it comes to suborbital space travel. But things are not that advanced in the other two segments. Many companies such as SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin, Boeing, etc. are tightening their nuts and bolts to catapult tourists to the suborbital space. They have a promising portrayal of their plans for the near future. 

Space tourism can be executed successfully, based on discrete phases.

Phase-1 would be proper space transportation. In these recent years, there's a heap of research and development in building a spacecraft or space vehicle. Spacecrafts come in different shapes and sizes. Apart from single-stage space vehicles, the two-stage space vehicles require a launch vehicle to get them to space. Launch vehicles can be rockets or planes based on the level of altitude, design, mission objectives. Rockets use solid and liquid propellants undergoing internal combustion in a rocket engine whereas airplanes use conventional wings along with the air-fuel mixture as propellants. Launch vehicles are generally attached to two kinds of crewed spacecraft, i.e. space capsules and space planes, for carrying human crew to space. 

Space capsules being very economical and simplistic in designs are being used widely in different manned space missions. Early space missions like the Vostok program and Apollo program mostly used capsules for human space transports(cosmonauts from Russia or astronauts from America). Capsules are carried by multistaged rockets and are mostly orbital and beyond orbital in kind. The launch sequence includes different stages of separation of the rocket launchers. This is where a huge chunk of money gets wasted when the rockets fall back to the earth and become of no use. 

SpaceX has done significant research in this field to reuse these separated rocket launchers (Falcon-9) by landing them properly back to the earth's crust. Falcon-9 is designed to take the 7 membered crew dragon reusable capsule to the orbit where it can latch onto a docking port in the ISS using a sophisticated automatic docking system. And at the same time, the falcon 9s can return back safely to earth. After completion of the mission, the crew Dragon capsule can detach from the station and reenter back to earth. Inturn a suite of parachutes can lower them gently to a known location in the ocean to be retrieved later by a SpaceX boat.

Similarly, Boeing is developing its own 7 membered crew capsule called the Boeing CST-100 Starliner which can be launched using multiple launch vehicles like the Atlas-V made by Lockheed Martin, Delta-4, Falcon-9, Vulcan Centaur, etc. The 100 in CST-100 is used in consideration of the Karman line (the virtual periphery of the earth's atmosphere). It promises to take at least 1 space tourist along with 5 astronauts under NASA's Commercial Crew Program.

 

Unlike SpaceX and Boeing, Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin is developing a suborbital spacecraft with a fully reusable and Vertical Takeoff &Vertical Landing New Shepherd Propulsion Module carrying the New Shepard crew capsule. The crew capsule can take up to six members and can return from space using a parachute landing system while the propulsion module can get back safely once it ascends the crew module to suborbital space. Right now it is undergoing its testing phase.

Virgin Galactic is an American spaceflight company owned by the Virgin group, instead of capsules it uses spaceplanes named VSS Unity and the mid-air launching vehicle White knight to propel to suborbital space. The white Knight launcher as well as the VSS unity spaceplane are capable of doing traditional airplane landing in modified runways or sophisticated spaceports without any issue associated with capsule landing. These spaceplanes will be used in the earth-to-earth spaceflight as spaceliners boarding 6 passengers and 2 pilots. The system is in the developmental phase and can be used as the fastest transport in between developed cities.

SpaceX is also in the race for its own spaceliner using earth to earth Starship variant. Unlike supersonic jets, the single-stage hypersonic starship variant can travel up to 10,000 km at a speed of 25,000 Km/hr in between major cities of the Earth. The other multistage variants of starship are being developed to be used for moon and Mars missions. Floating super-heavy class spaceports will be used for all the starship variants making it a hub of suborbital, orbital, and beyond orbit space travel. 

Orion Span is a USA-based company working in the development of a space hotel. Space hotels are basically space stations in earth's orbit revolving around the earth. Space stations are huge spacecraft with a huge capability of orbiting the planet as well as housing many crew members in space for several years down the line. Orion span has proposed such a space station called Aurora space station which will offer a one-time gathering of 6 members (2 professional members and 4 tourists) in the low earth orbit. A long 12 days stay for $9.5 Million per tourist including nonspace food and drinks, recreational activities will definitely give a hair tinkering experience to the boarded tourists.  

Joint ventures in between (SpaceX and Axiom space), (Space adventure and SpaceX) are also boosting orbital space tourism programs. (Space Adventure and DSE Alpha) are also collectively working to execute a circumlunar mission to the moon with a price per passenger being $100,.000,000.

Phase-2 would be medical testing and basic training of a space tourist visiting space. It will be a tedious task to train the basic functioning and usage of spacecraft to a common space tourist. Spacecraft designers are required to rethink the interior design directly in interaction with the passengers.

Phase-3 would be the safety of the passengers inside the spacecraft. 

If these 3 phases can be carried out properly then the future of space tourism will be on the brighter side. With the commercialization and globalization of such services, one-day booking tickets to space might become cheaper than conventional flight tickets. 

Briefly saying, the future of space tourism is looking brighter than ever before. After privatizing the space exploration process, many big companies are putting a big chunk of their resources into the research and development of new modes of space transportation. In the 2020s we will be seeing the commercialization of suborbital space travel. It may so that we can buy a ticket to space just for recreation or it may be a hypersonic journey in a spaceliner to jump from one city to another. And there is a huge chance that orbital space exploration may boom. Perhaps there might be some space hotels (space stations basically) where we can book a 2 nights, 3days holiday (Although there won't be nights or days as it is in the earth's crust). The late 2020s might also gift us the endeavor to go beyond the earth's orbit. Lunar tourism is one of the big things endorsed by Musk in these recent years. Eventually, we can be interplanetary species after completing a mission to mars and the followingly ascending towards the mars tourism programs. In the coming 50 years or so, we can definitely see some huge leaps to different space boundaries. Habitation and colonization at different planets and natural satellites may become real too.

The future of TV in the 21st Century: Schematics of early television (part-1)

Without falling into the trap of finding the original father of an invention, I would say every invention has multiple contributors i.e. just like having multiple fathers and sometimes multiple mothers too. So is the modern world television case, which with its debut forced us to rearrange our living areas into an entertainment cynosure. 

Often J.L Baird is considered as the man behind televisions but the word television itself was coined many years ago by someone who was tele away from the original inventors. Prof. Constantin Perisky first coined the term Television in 1900 taking Tele (Far) from the Greek origin and Visio (sight) from the Latin origin, combining them into a new word that later largely magnified the broadcasting and entertainment industries. 

Since then many scientists have worked parallelly as well as successively in the building of 20th-century television. Starting from the idea of photoconductivity to discovering the increased conductivity of Selenium when exposed to light by Willoughby Smith in 1873, the initial bits of television were building up steadily. The invention of the Nipkow spiral hole disk by P.J.G. Nipkow in 1884 became the driving wheel of mechanical televisions. With Nipkow's invention, the transmission of still imagery through the telegraph wire system became very easy for Henry Sutton. In 1885, he designed a device called Telephane which used Nipkows disk, selenium cells, Nicol prism, and Kerr cell. But the telegraph wires were not that efficient to transmit the then-going Melbourne cup successfully.  Later the live transmission of images was effectively demonstrated in 1909 by Ernst Walter Ruhmer. This inspired another duo, George Rignoux, and A. Fournier to subsequently transmit live images using a similar kind of arrangement. 

Parallelly, a new concept was being developed by Carl Ferdinand Braun. He invented the first Cathode ray tube inspired by the Crookes tube, which was previously inspired by the Geissler tubes, in the same year (1897) when J.J Thompson discovered the Electron. Braun was the first to use it as a display device. 1906 brought two more germans Max Deikman and Gustav Glaze to portray raster images for the 1st time in CRT. In 1907 a Russian Scientist named Boris Rosing used CRT to display simple geometrical shapes. Later in 1911 Rosing reused the CRT to display his subordinate Vladimir K. Zworkin's words "Very crude image" using a mechanical mirror type drum scanner. However, the selenium photoresistors used were inefficient to sense the changes of different intensities of light while trying to portray a moving image. 

It remained undone unless a poor and dwindling scientific tinkerer with some household spares and parts bought from departmental store started building one of the world's first mechanical television. In 1923, Scottish Scientist John Logie Baird attempted the 1st trial to run a mechanical television using the same Nipkows Disk idea and he became successful. In 1925 he publically demonstrated moving silhouette images using a ventriloquist's dummy named "Stooky bill". Moving Stooky bill had high contrast paint on its face making it a suitable subject for proper detection. Baird's analog television system used a transmitter and a receiver. For both scanning in the transmitting end and displaying in receiving end, he used two giant Nipkows disks. The brightly illuminated dummy placed in front of the disk with a properly positioned set of lenses was used to scan the image across a static thallium sulfide photocell, which was transmitted through AM radio signals to the receiving unit. The receiving end had a second disc properly placed in front of a neon light. The light was varying in proportion to the brightness and contrast of each spot of the image.  And due to the rotation, the spiral of 30 holes in his disc was producing 30 scanned lines, just enough to recognize the dummy. Later he did it with a human face. In the later phases of the 1920s, he also introduced the first transmission of moving images with tonal graduation, the first long distant TV signal transmission (705 km) using telephone lines, the first color transmission using 3 spiral discs with RYB color filters, & 3 light sources with the alternating commutator and the first transatlantic television transmission from London to Newyork. 

In this period, he also became the first person to mass-produce television (receiver) also called televisor made by the electric company Plessy, England. A thousand pieces of these television receivers were produced and sold. These receivers used parts comprising of motors with synchronous gears assembly, set of lenses, lens box assembly with viewing tunnel, neon lamp with holder, discs (Nipkows), spindle assembly, control knobs, condenser, terminal board, resistance with brackets, and the casings. It was also sold in the form of a kit to be assembled by the consumer. [Refer Manual]

Many of his contemporaries tried their hands with similar kinds of technological advancements but were not as impactful as Baird's huge leaps until... [To be continued]

Summary:

In this blog, we have learned how different parts of the television were built by different personalities and it finally came to shape in a mechanical and later in an electromechanical form. The invention of photoconductive selenium cells, Nipkows disc, Nicols prism, Kerr cells, mirror type drum scanner, etc. eventually led to the invention of the mechanical television. In the next part of the blog, we will know how the fully electronic television was built using the CRT which became the revolution in the late 20th Century. Stay tuned!

Websites to look upon while buying an apartment in Odisha.

Buying an apartment is a very tedious and complex task. If you would have read my previous blog about "How to buy an apartment?", you would also agree with the fact. In this blog, I will give you a list of websites you can visit before buying an apartment in Odisha. So let's start with the list.

1. RERA-Odisha: This is an Odisha state government website of the Realestate Regulatory Authority that records authorized real estate projects, registered agents, their application status, etc. You can use this website to scrutinize the authenticity of the apartment project you are investing in. It clarifies if the project is made following the rules and regulations laid by the Govt. of Odisha. 

From a new consumer perspective, if you are entering the website, you need to check for a few important things which will help you in the long run of hunting your dream apartment or house. Firstly you need to click on the act and rules tab where you can find a file named "Odisha Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Rules, 2017." In this pdf file, go to the Annexure-A page (Agreement for sale) where you can find the full format of the builder-buyer agreement/ agreement for sale. The agreement for sale format is the legally accepted format registered by RERA and is admissible as evidence in the court of law.

You need to download the format and cross-check it with the builder's provided format (if any). Before initiating any advance payment to the builder, you need to sign the agreement of sale with him for your future security. You may also take the help of a legal practitioner or lawyer for drafting the agreement. To know more about the Agreement of sale, read my blog, " How to buy an apartment?"

Secondly, you need to click on the projects tab > Offline/ Online projects > Registered projects. Select the project type as residential, fill up the project name and the registration number of the project to be provided by the respective builder(promoter). By filling in any of the above information, you can also get the full details of the project you are investing in. Project documents like registration certificate, approval letter of the planning authority, approved building plan, and layout plan can be downloaded from there as proof of authenticity. If you are consulting with an agent, you can also check his credentials by filling up his agent registration number in the real estate agent tab. You can also file a complaint against the faulty real-estate practices you faced from a promoter or an agent there.

2. IGR-Odisha: Inspector General of Registration Revenue & Disaster Management Department is a government of Odisha website. This is the most important website to visit for a property buyer. Starting from the government-allowed property benchmark value of each area to the online application of sale deed, you can reduce numerous complexities just by utilizing this website. 

In the property benchmark valuation tab, you can know the areawise property valuation allocated by the government, stamp duty on a plot, and registration fees of the respective plot by following simple steps. You can also apply for the encumbrance certificate by clicking over the "apply for encumbrance certificate" tab. There is a complete guide on how to draft and file an online sale deed too.

3. Development Authority/ municipal corporation website: There are specific development authorities for different cities. Each development entity has there own website. Basically, on these websites, you can check the signs of progress prevailing or the executed in the nearby locality based on your preferences and proximities. 

For example, if we consider the case of Bhubaneswar, the BDA website is what you should refer to. BDA approval is also a vital document to look for while buying a property. The websites help in doing so.

4. Bhulekh Odisha: Bhulekh Odisha is the land record web portal of Odisha maintained under the surveillance of the Government of Odisha. By simply entering the proper location and the khatiyan or plot number, you can download the Records of Right from the online land record register held by the Revenue department of the state government. ROR has all the information regarding the land property and the chronological history of the holers of the land. By default, you are taken to the ROR view page. 

On this website, you can input the district name, tahasil office, village name, and either the plot number or the khatiyan number to download the RoR pages.  

5. Bhunaksha Odisha:  As Bhulekh Odisha gives the RoR copy of the plot, similarly Bhunaksha Odisha gives the map copy of the plot. By filling up simple information about the location of the plot, you can download its map from the land map record archives of the revenue department, Government of Odisha.

6. E- Pauti: E-pauti is the land revenue payment web portal of Odisha hold by the Revenue and Disaster Management Department. You can pay, download and verify revenue receipt/ property tax receipt only by knowing the proper location of the plot you are willing to invest in. 

6. Real estate company website (if any): And lastly you also need to check the real estate company website to further verify its authenticity. You can look for information like the project brochure, project floor plans,  project layout plans, etc., and can cross-check it with the data provided to the RERA- Odisha department. By doing so you can know are the project owners portraying and serving the same thing that they have registered for or not. 

I hope you all enjoyed the read. From time to time I may upload more information to my blogs based on the updates from the government websites. Therefore, please follow me and my blogs constantly to get recent updates regarding property buying in Odisha.

How to buy an apartment?

Recently, I bought an apartment and while doing so I faced a lot of troubles until redeeming it. Hence, as a blogger here I am writing about my dwellings, the problems I faced, the rectification I made, notes scribbled, the fuels I burnt, the papers I juggled, and whatnot. While buying a property, I hope this blog content might be helpful to you all. Thank you.

In this financial-centric world, you need to have good financial planning to succeed economically. Financial planning sums up to a process where a person can draw a roadmap to meet expected and unexpected needs in his/her life. The process involves assessing one's net worth, estimating future and financial needs, and working towards meeting those needs through proper management of finances. Investment planning is one of those areas which determines suitable investment practices and asset allocating strategies based on risk, time, and goal sets.

Having an apartment is an essential asset and the big investment must be planned properly. Here is the step-by-step plan for buying a flat or apartment. The order of steps may vary from consumer to consumer but the basic buying algorithm will always hold within all these points. Do take a notepad and write down all the bulleted points along with your desired input aside from it.

1. BUDGET- 

This is the investment amount you need to set under which range you will be buying the apartment. The minimum and maximum amount range will give you a specific and filtered outlook to search for such properties which will fall within the range. You will also need to decide the purpose of the investment, i.e. Is it for the purpose of a permanent residence or just for a side investment to generate rent or so. By mentioning this, your perspective will be roughly sorted in terms of quality (Interiors, Furnishing, Accessories, etc.) and quantity(Carpet Area, No of bedrooms, size of rooms, etc.). If you are looking to opt for a housing loan, do compare the interest rates of different banks. For more vivid information and help, you can also contact the relationship manager of your respective bank.

2. PROXIMITY- 

In this context, proximity means closeness to a certain place in terms of distance. Suppose your family has two school-going children, your one of the priorities must include the distance of your apartment from the school they are in or the nearby schools where they are going to be admitted. So, while buying flat proximity is considered one of the important factors. Now, coming to the categories of proximal areas, you should see educational spots, workplaces, health care areas, shopping locations, and connectivity/transportability broadly.  For a businessman, the choice of proximity would similarly vary according to his potential profit areas and development.

3. LOCALITY- 

Your choice of the locality may vary according to your culture, health, environment, vicinity, neighbor preferences, ambiance, etc. Proximity is into measurements whereas locality is more related to physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being. Your preferences are to be noted down in this section, which will give you peaceful positive vibes and boost your outlook and output. You need to choose 2 or more localities taking proximity and budget into account too. Write them down and start searching for apartments in these areas. Also, consider nearby areas as per availability and cost.

4. SPECIFICATIONS- 

Let us assume you have chosen the locality where you want to find your dream home. Then comes the specifications of the apartment/ house you want to buy. Based on your requirements, you need to select one from the lot by considering the area of the house (sq. ft.) (carpet area, built-up area, super area), no. of bedrooms, living area, no. of bathrooms, type of kitchen (Open or closed), No. of balconies, the direction of the entrance, etc., etc. This defines the whole specification of the house you are going to buy. Vaastu plays a very important role while looking at the specifications of any house. The age of the construction is also a strong specification to choose your house. The age decides whether your house is an old construction ready-to-move type resale apartment or a new one going to be constructed and is yet to handover. If you are choosing an old house, you need to check how the house is being maintained, are there any cracks or seepage occurring at the walls, the proper functioning of sanitary wares and plumbing, the exterior and interior coloring of the house, proper working of electric wirings and switchboards, etc. If anything is found faulty it is needed to be informed to the house owner for proper treatment or repairing.

5. FACILITIES- 

When you buy a house, you also look for different facilities available with it. Like if you are buying a duplex or an apartment you look for safe premises with proper security arrangements. The basic facilities include proper electricity with a separate meter box, 24 hrs. of water availability with a water treatment plant for filtration, proper sewerage and respective treatment plant, proper fireproofing systems, dedicated two-wheeler, and four wheeler parking, etc., etc. Similarly, if you are lenient towards luxury, you look for facilities like the greenery on the campus, children's park area, Gym area, swimming pool,  inside market complexes, etc., etc. And yes with all this variety of facilities comes a maintenance fee. Please collect all the information regarding this fee and how it is to be paid from the apartment supervisor or any other concerned person.

Here's a list of facilities generally offered by an apartment.

1.Security Services. 

2.Gym 

3.Terrace access 

4.Parking area 

5.Society hall 

6.Swimming pool 

7.D. Generator 

8.Children’s park 

9.Green corridors 

10.Water TP 

11.Sewerage TP 

12.Fire protection 

13.Lift 

14.Camera Surveillance 

15.Club house 

16.Sports room

6. LEGALITY- 

The legal aspect of the apartment is a must to be checked upon. Check if the owner provides you the sale deed. Read the deed carefully. Issuing an encumbrance certificate from the office of the Tehsildar gives you all the information needed to clarify the authenticity and legality. If there's any dispute in the ownership, you can directly know it all by simply taking out the EC. Look for revenue clearances and municipal clearances too. They can also help you to determine the authenticity of the records.

Here's a list of legal documents useful while buying an apartment.

1. No objection certificate (from builder/ society committee/ RERA/ FEMA)

2. Sale deed 

3.Water bill 

4. RERA certificate  

5. Encumbrance certificate 

6. Builder Buyer agreement 

7. Occupancy Certificate 

8. Floor plan drawings 

9. Loan documents (if any) 

10. Completion Certificate 

11. Electricity bill 

12. Property Tax Document

To look for RERA-certified projects, you can just collect the Realestate company registration number and the project name (apartment name in most cases), then go to the Official state-wise published RERA websites. For example; If you want to check RERA-certified projects in Odisha, go to the O-RERA website (https://rera.odisha.gov.in/registered-projects/) and insert the registration number and project name. You can see the status of the project instantly.

The Builder buyer Agreement or the agreement of Sale is an agreement made by the promoter/ builder/seller and the buyer/ customer which contains the time of project start and completion, buyer's right to cancel or assign the property, refund policy, grace period to be taken by the builder(if any), force Majeure clause, property specifications, facilities to be provided, all fees, and charges, payment timeline, mode of payment, property particulars, advance, and final payment details, etc. You can consult a lawyer to draft your agreement of sale. You can also draft it by yourself by referring to the file format provided by the registered RERA website.

If you want to buy an apartment in Odisha, I have also shortlisted all the important websites to visit in the blog, link provided below: Websites to look upon while buying an apartment in Odisha.

7. COMPARISON CALCULATION

Before comparing in between two apartments, you need to know some technical terms for ease of calculation. The technical terms are built-up area, carpet area, common area, super built-up area, loading area.

Briefly describing the terms as follows:

Built-up area: It is the total area visible inside your flat including the area covered by the walls (computed as 50% is shared with the adjacent flat), columns (computed as 50% is shared with the adjacent flat), balcony area, and roof or terrace area.

Carpet area: If we simply go by its name, it is that area where you can lay down a carpet inside your flat. All the visible interior area comes under the carpet area excluding the walls, columns, roof, balcony, verandah, etc. However certain percentage (10 to 20%) of the balcony, roof/ terrace, or verandah is also included in the carpet area too. It values approximately 60 to 80% of the super built-up area. 

Common area: These are the common spaces, sharable to every flat owner of the apartment. Areas like the staircase, lift working area, Lobby or corridor, lift machine room, electrical power supply room, generator room, clubhouses, security rooms, sport rooms, community hall, gym, general toilets, rooms of maintenance staffs, and security, etc.

Super built-up area: It can be defined as the sum of the built-up area and the common area in the most simplistic way. It is also called the saleable area which is sold by the builder/ owner to the customer. However, it doesn't include the area falling under the sump and septic tank, compound wall, open walkway or corridor, open greenery, parks, or open-air swimming pool. 

Loading area: It is the difference between the super-built-up area and the carpet area. It includes the common area as well as parts of the balcony and terrace or roof. Generally, a 30% loading area is included and is being taken into account with a 70% carpet area to make up a 100% super built-up area. The result can determine the difference in carpet areas of different apartments with different loading factors.

Simply going to an example of calculation:

Let's say you have shortlisted two different apartments to purchase with the same super built-up area of 2000 sq. ft with different prices per sq. ft i.e the 1st one is Rs.2500 per sq. ft. and the 2nd one is Rs. 2,200 per sq. ft. A common man would definitely choose the 2nd option as the price of the 1st apartment is 50 lakhs and that of the 2nd apartment is 44 lakhs. But if there's a difference in the loading factor, the carpet area's value may differ drastically. 

 Let's say, the loading factor in the 1st apartment is 30% i.e. 0.30 and in the other one, it has 40% i.e. 0.40. So the carpet area of the 1st apartment will be ((1-0.3) x 2000)= 1400 sq. ft. and in the 2nd carpet the carpet area will be ((1-0.4) x 2000)) = 1200 sq. ft.  Hence, we can see that the 1st apartment has a higher value of carpet area.  And if we calculate the value of price per sq. ft. in terms of carpet area, the 1st apartment will have a price/ sq. ft. of  (50,00,000/1400)= Rs. 3,571.45 per sq. ft. whereas in the second case it will be (44,00,000/1200)=Rs. 3666.66 per sq. ft. Therefore in this case choosing the 1st option will be a good deal rather than choosing the second apartment.  

Ahh! Alas, after settling all these bulleted points you are ready to buy an apartment. For further simplification, I have attached a form here. You can just download it, take a printout of it and you are ready to hunt for your dream apartment.
