If you are going to invest in the United States make sure that the people you are dealing with are on the ground and not just dealing with a wholesale company. For instance I deal in Texas and work with someone on he ground who has been doing deals for at least 5 years. In other words before the GFC. That means that all the…[Read more]

Alex, We could not get definite information. But rather than do nothing, we have gone ahead with the purchase of two houses in our SMSF LLC, but chose to own outright rather than the worry of loans in the SMSF. It means we own fewer houses, but less hassle. One in Florida, one in Memphis. Management is really good and we are…[Read more]

It influenced my decision in the end as with 50% LTV I got 2 for one and once the loan is paid I'll have double the cashflow. With a good loan an investor would be more interested in higher quality lower yield US…[Read more]
