I have stated that people should look at the US markets and make up there own minds. If people wanted to follow your rubbish about the world coming to an end they would not do anything. Your only way of doing anything to to use insults. Frankly I do not care what you think. The fact that the market has fallen is true how does that prove that…[Read more]

Have to agree to disagree about what

Have you ever been to America. What are you basing your opinion on?

How many people can you find who I have burned?

Unlike a lot of people who deal in this market, I have been there and have a partner on the ground.

Finally Joe I am not asking anyone to take my word on anything. I am just saying that this…[Read more]

Joe  We are buyers agents we buy property for people and teach them how to do it. I do not burn anyone. I teach people to do there own research.

Joe  I could say the same about you and freckle. I never see you say anything positive you just talk crap.

We post information. As I keep saying we deal in this market and suggest that people have a look a decide for themselves. What do you do Joe

If a market has fallen as did the entire US economy there will be a recovery. It is a matter a looking at safer assets. Frankly Joe you keep accusing me of spruiking. All I am doing is looking at the market to see what it is doing. There are always opportunities. At the worst part of the market there were some great buys. I do not think that…[Read more]

Ok I dont know how to respond to this

I guess if the world is coming to an end then there is not much we can do about it

However to suggest that the fall has not happened yet is nonsense. If a markets falls you have to look at the reasons. No one is arguing about the information that you have put up or the size of the falls. However markets recover

Firstly we are simply posting information

We are not telling anyone to follow us blindly infact I have continually said you should go and see the market for yourself

Rubbish!! Florida was smashed. It was one of the United States worst performing states of all. It is the least resilient of all. And when the next correction comes…[Read more]

I do much the same thing with Property Development.

It because apparent to me that trying to build a couple of units does not really work, because generally the land value is low. What this means is that other small investors and builders will push up the prices on smaller developments. However when you buy land where the value is say 1-3 million…[Read more]

I have to agree with Marks comments. Only deal with companies that deal direct with the owners. At least that way you know exactly what you are getting.

It has been my experience that so called wholesalers rarely provide good deals.

Thats because Wells Fargo have had more accounts shut down than anyone else. If you have opened an account through a secondary person there is a good chance your account will be closed down.

The market place is full of companies like this. Generally what they do is only sell off the plan and or new property because they are making more than $30,000 commission per property.

If you deal with companies like this do not be pressured into making instant decisions. There is always huge pressure for you to sign on the spot, because they…[Read more]

How is it drivel

He is listing what he does it should tell you what his experience is. He has printed information on the fact that china is buying a lot of real estate. They are doing this by the plane load.

Freckle that is not entirely correct , what Steve has said is that the days of finding bargains in Florida have gone. The reason is that market conditions have improved. Now if we go back and compare two States Florida and Texas. As you would know most lending policies in the United States are determined by the states not the federal government.…[Read more]

I would also be keen to hear Steve McKnights views on this given that he is also involved in a big way in the Florida market. How does he feel about The Freckles continual negative comments about the Florida market

Hi rob

Thank you for at least posting what is going on. It would appear that Freckle has nothing better to do with his time but to post rubbish. You seem to resort to people intelligence. Well I am sure that no one is as intelligent as you. In fact why do we even bother posting anything, I think that you should be the only person to post since…[Read more]

The question should be are single family homes the right sort of properties to be buying at present.

Personally I prefer apartment complexes. Firstly if you own a 5 or 10 or 59 unit complex your risk is less, if a property becomes vacant it does not destroy your cash flow. Secondly you can currently achieve 60% bank finance on this type of…[Read more]

Well done. At the end of the day a few sleepless nights are nothing compared to the gift of being a parent

Just dont blink my daughter is now 13 and my son nearly 11 and it is my most important role

enjoy the experience

The thing to keep in mind is that one of the main reasons that the economy is flat is due to the lack of finance. If you are running a business and no one will lend you money it makes it very difficult to expand and hire staff.  However money is starting to flow again and we are seeing demand starting  to improve. No one is suggesting that they…[Read more]

I think working in the industry is a good idea. However as a person who worked in General real estate for many years I would say this the only similarity between being a real estate agent and and an investment specialist is that we both deal in property. As an agent you focus on your next sale ands listing. They generally only deal in the area in…[Read more]

Joe

I have lived in Texas and travel to Texas and Florida on a regular basis. The fact that you and who ever the Freckle is thinks that these are bad markets. That is your opinion and you are entitled to it. However the fact that I deal in these markets does not make me wrong. I am very careful with what I do. I am of the view that there are…[Read more]
