and non-agricultural land and machinery and equipment will find their
way to invest and raise rates.

estate sector in order to promote the construction of housing and
building problem leaching, small real estate investors in the private
sector contributed effectively and continuously throughout the era of
the 1940s to the 1980s, working in housing projects, but the halt in the
1990s and until now, because of taxes and fees imposed on this sector
and the property transfers and fees and other genus patch of real
