The trick is having enough passive income from your investments to support yourself while your here. 

    It's so right !   Also, Deb if you want to buy a property and live in it, that will count as an investment, but as a passive income…it's gone…

Yeah,  I think this is one of the best threads here.  "Conflict leads to progress…"

Hi Deb,    I lived in the US (on a H1-B visa, which means legally) between 2000-2006; in New York 1/2 year, Virginia and New Jersey for another 1/2 year each and moved in Indianapolis (Indiana) which is Mid-west for another 5 years (My brother still lives there since 1991). Due to the pretty rough immigration laws and the huge processing ba…[Read more]

Jayhinrichs,    I appreciate your lower tone, this time. It's no need for any of us to use this forum as a fighting arena and imply all kinds of non-senses addressed to any other investor.   I joined this forum in order to advertise my business (of course, everybody else is doing it, but I'm not signing with my web-site address or any other form…[Read more]

Or, get the best of both worlds: find an agent who is also an investor!

   You are so right! But I think it's better to refine a little bit: "find and investors who is also an agent"

British Buyer, you are so right! I invest in Detroit and I had to go there and "visit", talk with local investors, RE agents, Property managers, etc. Almost everybody has at least a property, but, and here comes an interesting fact, the least knowledgeable people in the investing stuff were the …RE agents. They didn't know how to properly…[Read more]

Jayhinrichs,    I take full responsibility for my comments, as they express my personal opinion based on my sole experience. So far, I'm extremely pleased with the performance of my properties in Detroit as I have a very good investing plan, I stick to it and I never jump into trying new things (new neighborhoods). As for the comments on zero ma…[Read more]

 TO BOBBY 25This is you post with my remarks, as I invest in Detroit and I'm a first hand (direct ) seller.My intention on this forum is to inform my fellow citizens and not to tell anyone where to invest.  I am using my previous negative experiences to educated people about what to look for.  As for myself, I have been investing in Detroit fo…[Read more]

Give me an example, I need ONLY ONE example with better areas in the US with better cash-flow that Detroit. And please document it with real numbers not with what you've heard from some other guys…

As Miami is one of the nicest areas on the Eastern coast it is recognized as being one of the worse rental investment solutions in the US. With very high rental vacancy, lots and lots of prospective investors are turning away from wasting their money in Miami.Personally, I have friends who invested in Miami's high risers and lost hundreds of…[Read more]

Hey guys take a look at my comments at https://www.propertyinvesting.com/forums/property-investing/overseas-deals/4344313. Alex SC, why do you say Fannie Mae takes longer to accept offers? You are partially right – this is the case for multiple offers situations – they set up a "higher and best offer" auction and has a dead end scheduled. It takes…[Read more]

Please, take a look at my comment at https://www.propertyinvesting.com/forums/property-investing/overseas-deals/4344313.Just a small mention though, as I see you guys getting info from Zillow.com. As a free tool, is not bad, but between investors in the US is well known that Zillow is far away from the reality. It uses optimizing engines for…[Read more]

As one who has investments in the US (read my comments at https://www.propertyinvesting.com/forums/property-investing/overseas-deals/4344313) I can recommend Chase Bank. Very easy to work with, low monthly  fees ($15/month-unless you have at least $5000 daily balance). Fast money transfer overseas. I don't think you can you open an account if you…[Read more]
