The left are already attacking Rick Perry. What is laughable is that Obama is trying to take credit for the jobs growth in Texas.
Perry has been Pro business, for instance he approached Toyota and offered them a 99 year tax break to relocate there Truck division to San Antonio. As the second plant opens they will employ more than 6000 people. This is a direct result of Perrys leadership. I think he stands a great chance of winning the nomination and then the presidency.

I have been involved in the San Antonio property market since 2005. I even ran a real estate firm there in 2006. In the top 10 predicted cities all 4 cities in Texas are in the top 10 with Austin at number 1 and San Antonio at number 4. Both cities are 110 km apart. Why buy in bad areas when you can invest in a safe market.  <moderator: delete advertising>

Hi Margaret

I have not heard of the group either, however there seem to be many companies dealing in the United States. I have been involved in San Antonio Texas since November 2005. I currently run services through Cash Flow Capital. If you go to the web site and click on the US link you can watch a 70 minute webinar I did recently. Just look at it from an information point of view.

My experience is that the most important thing about US investing is who you are dealing with on the Ground. Hope this provides you with some information.

I run the mentoring program for Cashflow Capital and we will be running free introduction seminars across Australia. I would be happy to have a chat about what we do. So send me your contact details I would be happy to have a chat

The problem is that many people who are investing in the United States cannot afford to buy properties are are sucked in to buying one cheap property. However many of these people will loose money.

I only deal with people that want to build a large quality income stream in the United States

If you are looking for a broker in Melbourne go for the best. That is Alistair Perry who often comments on the forum. His office number is 0396621999. Not only does Alistair specialize in investment but is also an expert on construction finance.

It sounds to me that you also have a vested interest in your comments
As I have mentioned before I do not get clients from Property investing .com

Secondly I do not bag people but wish to point out the issues of investing in some areas. I have also been to the United States on many occasions and even ran a real estates firm in Texas. So after 6 years of investing there I also think I have some idea of what I am talking about.

If you have comments to make about Texas then please make them. I have always said if there is evidence that Texas is a bad place to invest then present the information. To me a city that has lost 50% of its population since 1950 is not a good place to invest. If Dan is providing a personal services and is working on the ground then people may be able to make some short term money. Quite frankly your comments are rude and I do not make rude comments about people. My comments about the rapper were meant in jest. However if people make claims that a city is a great place to invest they should also hear both sides. My experience is that many investors do no where near enough research when buying property. The same thing happened 6 years ago and many Australians lost money.

I would agree do your research very carefully. If you are going to invest in a city like Detroit then go there and see it for yourself. In my view there are safer places to invest. However go there and make up your own mind. I encourage of my clients to Visit Texas and do there own due diligence.

I am being a bit tongue and cheek regarding the 8 mile comment however a market with half the population since 1950, a 29% umenployment is not a great place to put your money. I deal in Texas which to me is far safer
I believe you can make money anywhere. However I have not seen to many good people on the ground. I have been involved in the US market since 2005 and even ran a real estate firm in Texas. However you may be great operators

If a city has lost 25% of its population in the last 10 years and over 50% since its peak I would say thats a pretty good reason to stay away. Many of the so called great deals are in areas that no one has lived in so 30 years. There are many other areas in the US that are far better.
