Fair enough Jason
I am sure you are running a good service
I also believe that I provide good service to clients. I have lived in Texas and have developed great contacts there.

Just one question how much of that market increase is due to large numbers of investors buying there?

Sure in Detroit a dying city were the population has dramatically dropped and whole streets are deserted. Just because something is cheap is not a good reason to buy there. To me Texas offers much better opportunities as it is a growing market with over 1000 people a day moving there. Texas is the 10th largest economy in the world.

I also have a great network of people in Texas which in my opinion is a much safer state to buy in than a city like Detroit. I never buy site unseen. Because I only buy properties in person and have known the agent for a number of years I know the properties I buy are not loaded. If you take a short cut with your research it is easy to make mistakes.

The more the media talk the market down the more excited I get about buying there. Remember if you are buying for the long term and are careful with what you are doing you cannot go wrong. It is always about doing the research.

All of what you write is true however if you are looking to build a long term portfolio then thias is by far the best time to buy. You should always be buying when others are selling.

I could not agree more with Tony. The secret is that you have to have the right people on the ground. If you do not then you nay be wasting your time.

These type of deal are also readily available in the United States. Its a great way to purchase without having to arrange finance. However like everything else you need to do your research carefully before proceeding.

The 21st Century academy runs many services, property direct offered both off the plan and buyers advocacy. Any service to the United States would be a mentoring service and a buyers service. In our web site we do not offer set returns or make rash promises. All we are saying is that we use our combined experience to help client invest in quality property.

Thanks Philip

Hi Philip

Our company is licensed through Changing Places which is a real estate company. I am a licensed agents representative with Changing Places. My partners in the United States are also licensed agents.

As indicated above our role is to mentor clients that are interested in investing in the United States. In other words we share the…[Read more]

We are still looking at the figures. However you need to be on the ground to do this well. The people I work with are very experienced. I will go over on a regular basis and personally select the right property for my mentoring clients. Buying good property takes research and understanding the local market.

Buying in problem areas can be just that a major problem.
People are attracted by the low cost say $30,000, that may offer a 20% return. The problem is that your return is coming from a small base. What that means is that a few small issues such as a broken window or more serious such as a hot water service will quickly wipe out your case flow.…[Read more]

The days of sub prime loans have gone. What this means is that in the current US market unless your credit rating is near perfect you will not get a loan. This is good news for investors because over time it will create more demand for rents which should put upward pressure on prices.
I am not a big fan of buying bottom of the market properties.…[Read more]

You cannot inspect the properties and you have to pay cash. I will be buying forclosed properties and offering them renovated to investors at under market value.

Not at all

I just have a different view to you and others as where are the best places to invest. There is no black and white answers. I just prefer Texas. It has a thousand people a day moving there. Bet you cannot say that about Detroit.

I have no doubt that you mean well and that you provide a good service. So I am not questioning the…[Read more]

Well Jason

That’s you opinion. Detroit has just been named by Forbes Magazine as the most dangerous city in America. Seems like a great reason to invest there.

The same people that invested in Buffalo will now invest in Detroit. They never learn. People will line up to buy because they are cheap. The same people will complain when they cannot collect there money.
If it seems to good to be true it is. The market may also be being inflated because of all the investors. Can you make money in Detroit, sure,…[Read more]

I am currently in Texas
Most Australian investors buy because they think it s cheap with huge returns. With huge returns come huge risks. The same people who lost in Buffalo will now loose in Detroit. Why buy in a city listed by forbes as the most dangerous city in the united states. I will help buy safe investment properties in Texas which is…[Read more]

Hi
I am currently in Texas

If you are looking to invest in the United States then do not look at the bottom of the market. Many people are buying in Detroit named by forbes magazine as the most dangerous city in the US to live. The same people would have brought in Buffalo.
Texas is the fastest growing state in America.

I am establishing on the…[Read more]

You will find that on the ground service is poor. That is why I am travelling there tomorrow to meet with the people face to face. If you d not do this you are wasting your time.
