    stratigic default
    now thats a very interesting view
    and 20mil homes to come on line
    2.5 to 3 trill in value in default with fanny or freddy
    1 trill loss
    what most people seem to miss
    is that there is a huge amount of buyers but also a huge market for a funder or suppliers of finance
    yes not buying the house but fundng the house purchase

    hi edmund
    the private funding in the US is expo its up around the 15% when you are getting a 20% return that makes the margin slim
    one of my groups am not investing direct into the USA and its not for a board but buy remote is a bit risky as you don’t know what you are buying
    their system is a bit different then to here and a few have been caught buying some thing that was different then was in reality
    there is only two ways to buy for me
    cash
    or card credit

    hi james
    you have asked a question lots of investor are thinking
    first this is a free to air board and don’t ask this type of question unless you are will to accept every man and his dog giving you his view
    and lot have no idea so work on that premise first
    now an llc can’t be set up here
    llc stand for limited liability corp
    limited as in it its worthless
    same as our pty ltd 2 dollar companies
    also you need to set the llc up in the state you want to buy in
    yes you will hear no you can have one that crosses state lines but the cost are high so just go with set it up where you want to buy
    now to the lastpoint
    i have no idea to answer your question
    your question needs to be answered by an accountant that does both here and the USA
    and do I know one
    now that answer is yes

    hi all
    I am interested in the numbers as they don’t seem to add up to me.
    if the client is putting in 22k and the 75k is lending I take it
    so the client is in the property for 97k
    its worth 120k to 130k thats about 80% lvr the return is 950 per month why is this a good deal
    yes the clients has bought it but for me in the us market this is no shining light
    I have one of my investors that just bought 2 weeks ago
    2 x 2br 3 x 3br in a multi tennent in cleveland ohio and he paid 8k and its returning 2800 per month
    22 k can buy a house returning 1k in alot of states of the usa
    this would need to do a 40% capital increase to make it a good deal
    yes you have a buy out but they are in at 97k
    whats the term of the buy out at 1k per month 24k per year say 25 to make it easy thats 5 years plus
    davids is 4 months most of our flips are in two years on my excels
    I understand buying mortgages but if the debt was 75k I would be in the 35 to 40k max
    if its the case that you have bought the mortgage for 22k
    then the debt level is 22k so paid out in 12 months then its better
    but even 120 to 22 is a bit high but not seen the house
    150 to 15 is what we have been seeing
    I have one 270 bought to 35 for sale which does come within my numbers
    nigel I would like to see the numbers as I just can’t understand the ones you have put thru at the moment

    hi runaway
    your views missed a few areas
    1. syndicates a group of investors that buy as a group and combine cashflow now they are not selling anything they are investing together.
    2. group that don’t invest in the asset but lend to people to invest in the asset so you are like a little bank just you take a position as well.
    3.investors (or hard cash funders) using smsf and getting an on going return
    all of these don’t current come into your plan but they should as they are all a bit more profitable
    as for the bad area problem investing in that area is over come if you use cashflow from the major asset
    so you buy in first and use cashflow to buy into the higher risk area
    yes it reduces profit if a problem occurs but capital is preserved and cash flow losses are part of doing business
    the aim is to spread risk and set up purchases in capital secure areas
    and this is why you need to be in either a group spread the eyes or direct invest and be there
    for me being there is just not worth it
    I would rarther margin off a local
    but each to their own
    be very carefull with regards to people telling you this area is better then that
    thruth is no area is better then the other
    why its all to do with value
    the value of a 2br in cleveland is very different to the value in miami or in vegas or fort worth
    or even detriot
    thats does not mean you will not make money what you need to work out is what is the value of the asset and are you buying under value
    then look at what the are is going to do
    and from there why do you want to buy it and there are lots of reasons why
    is vegas better then fort worth
    is it better the cleveland
    or south carolina
    new york
    la
    there are a few states in the USA
    can you know or understand them all
    good luck
    so for me I dont try to
    I leave the locals to tell me about their area and why I should invest with them
    and if they make a good case as a few have
    then I put a group together to invest
    now is that to hard to understand.
    you do not need to be a rocket scientist to invest money
    you need to know the following
    is my money safe
    1st mortgage security
    will I get a good return
    running at 15 to 20% so they say so thats a good return in my book
    can I hold title
    I do
    is the rental secure and if not will someone else rent it so I get my return
    if the boxes get a tick what more do you want

    hi matt

    as I have not been here for some time and was just pasting thru.

    you have got a couple aof little problems.

    1 asic don't like you to advertise(unlike in america) so you have to keep well with in the 2 20 rule and also try to stay away from the managed investment scheme rule also but having said that there are ways that you can get investors to join in to do a development but they have to be sophisticated investors and there are a few hoops to jump thru.

    you can always get friends or others to invest with you and there are site that do this co invest is one that comes to mind and the equity market is another.
    I can't tell you how to get this system in operation as it would be seen as giving advice and it couple throw me over the 2/20 rule.
    I piece of advice I can give you is that all that glitters is not always gold and because a deal does look good unless it has a 21% margin its not going to get any lender excited and even at 21% currently they are not jumping over everyone to get to you.
    so its not as easy as you may think but that just my view.
    hope it all goes well

    hi all
    I must admit I don't like the new look,i too have to log in each time and cant find my wayaround as well.
    I do think that steve needs a caveat emptor page as well.
    I am a bit busy so have not been here for a while but have been having a read any change does take time to re adjust I
    I flick out very quickly and gloss over alot of the posts, as I am trying to read posts that I have not gone thru before.
    I try to find the posts that are not just I am looking for a posi property can anyone point me in the rigt direction.
    hope you all are well.

    hi foundation
    you are not alone with this loan
    I to believe that not only will you be worse off
    but in the figure that say you make money take away the sellers margin or the banks refinance fee and stampduty on the sale or refinance and your 7% goes to about 1.5%.
    for those that are recommending this product and a couple of posts on here and in the other tread are have a really good look at this product.
    tell me a person that this loan will bennefit.
    amandbs
    dreams are just that
    dreams
    the trouble is that dreams sometimes become nightmares
    and rushing into a loan for me is not the way to go
    you do need to check the detail of the loan and what you can and can’t do within it.
    and this product for me has alot of questions that need to be answered and the website does not answer half of them.anyone interested in this type of loan, caveat emptor is my advice and get it checked by some one, then another, then another and if then you want to proceed fine you understand what this loan is and what the restriction are within it.
    my advice is tread very slow and read every line.

    hi salacious
    you can open an account with the bank of china here if need be and you can then open the account with the bank of china in most large cities, not sure why you need the account as I would not recommend direct investing in china. you can even use a link cirus card there.
    I have organised not only accounts but am currently organising direct equity lending with the bank of china from here in sydney if need be send me an email to [email protected] and will give you some good contacts if need be.
    investing in china is not for the faint hearted
    and is tread very carefully
    you are about to go swiming with sharks so make sure you can
    swim very well or swim near the ladder
    thatsmy advice
    I don’t go in the water and use equity to scoop up the money without getting wet.

    hi mark
    my advice is to organise an exit plan
    I would look at what the value of the asset is at the moment
    and then take that equity and throw it into a secure income producing asset
    I would do direct investing,
    but your mum may want to look at some one like mac bank( even thou I don’t recommend them as they are a major bank and they take most of my deals away from me).
    I would look at equity lending off the base at this stage not reinvesting on new properties
    after 50 you need secure growing assetts with income not more debt.
    buying or leveraging is good to go to retirement
    but once there you need to do the opposite and that is secure your position and make that position last as long as possible not grow( if you can its better), as you will be slowly eating it away, as slow as possible
    that why you need a structure that will both feed you and grow( hopefully faster then you eat it) at the same time,
    but the rub is that these structures need to be in place for some time and it does not sound like your mum has done this.
    so you need to consolidate your position and work out a plan for your mums retirement and adjust the structure to suit.
    there are a few accountants here that can do that. but a 55 It would be a brave person that would be aiming on being a property guru.
    my time line is 50.
    I hope you do well
    I am not a financial planner nor do I do broking, so you can ask a few here who are to help you out.
