My thoughts on LLC’s as they relate to the Off shore investor…

my answer is it Depends!!!

If your buying low end cheapy properties. your chances of getting sued by a tenant are remote to the extreme. And its better to just get an umbrella insurance policy they are cheap and they will step in and Pay in the event of some calamity…

I think I answered this one a while back. and Kudo’s to any 25 year old that has done that well in the RE bizz.

FHA is a little to no money down program and the repairs if called out by FHA appraisal need to be done by someone.

to clarify… investor buys with LLC… does not transfer title however just sells LLC interest. thats a non recorded transaction and will circumvent the flipping deed restrictions. Title remains the same does not transfer.

The incident that Lawys talks about is just flat out felonious activity… Investor buys a share of LLC, LLC is suppose to…[Read more]

Lawys,

Your points are valid about rental home concentrations however it’s reality in virtually all markets in the US

Think you missed cheeves point somewhat

Not to put words in his mouth, but when your a liecened RE agent there is a high3r standard, and most US wholesalers are not liecened
And skirt the laws (no pun intended) the Aussie…[Read more]

One of the reason flipper or wholesalers use LLC is to circumvent the deed restrictions that certain gov agencies put on their REO properties.

Lawys scenario is simply a thief setting up a scam….

Is that bigger pockets? If so have never done anything with them, although frankly our product is so well received by the IRA investor we have a waiting list

Been on the road at investor seminars, letting the US investor in on the fact that the Aussies are kicking their butts picking off all these cash flow properties

All spelling errors in my posts are intentional

30 to 40% of all US single family homes have no debt. And with tHe US IRA investor paying cash for rentals plus all the foreign cash purchase,s the fed Fannie Freddie become less of a factor

As well as what I am seeing with my new construction sales in the last year. We are seeing many cash sales and or 20% down very few FHA . Could just be…[Read more]

I was at a RE conference last week firm was Keller Williams….. the subject of bubbles came up and they were targeting Canada.

Although having bought and owned a home in BC… qualifying for a home was…[Read more]

No rental income however you sell for 5 to 10 times what you paid for it

I just bought 7 lots premeir Henry county location. Houses are in today’s market. 300k plus we snagged them for under 5k each. Will sell within 3 years at 30k plus each. Nice alternative investment. And no land lording which is worth a bunch

Hoods. Every city has them. Need to be there at night or sat…

there was an article in the USA today or better known as Useless Today::Anyway front page of 2 investors talking about the rental in Chicago they bought and how its better than bank rates etc.Now with the Gov.. and Buffet  look out….. Here is my prediction… better popular markets will start to see bidding wars… Its already happening in…[Read more]

LabradoreI think I can shed some light on this.1. when you in the US to someone using FHA financing the following is what happens   Since the US government EG the FHA is guranteeing the loan the house must meet minimum standards. If you paid cash for the house as an unsuspecting investor too bad.. And for sure will not approve a loan above v…[Read more]

To turn key or not turn key that is the question…..Shoot its a tough go when your doing it on your own from across the globe… Of course the price of these homes if you lose all your money its no big deal right.I really think the inner city US properties can only be successfuly run by those that live and work it.No way it can work trying to…[Read more]

Owner financing is a huge part of US real estate sales… Most lease to own and or really low down marginal Owner carry deals are really just glorified renters… Although the theory is they pay the property tax's and maintain the home… Very few will actually be able to finance with a bank and pay a person off again thats a marginal buyer..I…[Read more]
