Where to Invest in the USA?What I look for is a great balance of cash flow, potential growth and secure tenancy/management. The main reason we see buyers investing in the USA is Cash Flow because. let's face it, rental returns in Australia suck. Some investors are wanting pure high net yields and are unconcerned about growth and this can lead them…[Read more]

A lot of Australian Companies deal with the same wholesalers in t…[Read more]

I had a very bad experience with this guy, Vincent. I paid his commitment fee of 188$ on 7 Nov 2011 and pursued a property in Atlanta listed on his website. The correspondence that followed did not really inspire my initial confidence in Vencent. He neither exhibited any expertise nor his responses were…[Read more]

HiIts been a while since I read this forum. In reply to the comment about never having been to the USA, I travel regularly and we also have an office in Miami, Florida. I spent three weeks in 8 cities in June. I know who would have said this to Speedy and their integrity is questionable when they have to deride others to support their own…[Read more]

Termites are active in Georgia and we encounter about 1 in 10 properties will have some evidence of termite infestation either current or historical, particularly where the properties are over 10 years old. We insist on pest and building inspections prior to purchase and will only contract subject to a detailed inspection report. Our preference is…[Read more]

Hi PaulI appreciate your interest in our company, 888 US Real Estate, and look forward to hearing from some of our buyers about their experience. Regarding Treasure Hunter's comments, we do not have any interest in the properties we source for our clients.

I attended the Gold Coast day that was presented by Dymphna and found her tax structuring information useful and informative. I was disappointed that her examples were not qualified by naming the city they were in and her guide to where to invest was a general method of research rather than a guide to cities, markets and locations. It seems that…[Read more]

This is not accounting or tax advice. Please consult with a qualified accountant to ensure thisinformation is suitable for your individual needs.In my experience, different accountants and advisers will give different advice. An LLC in Nevada is OK for direct ownership because Nevada does not have any state income tax. This is also true for…[Read more]

Hi PeterTexas is doing well economically and less affected by heavy foreclosure rates, but that may not be a good thing for property investment. Value investors such as Warren Buffet buy when stocks are low and this can be applied to property. If Texas is doing well then the relative decline in asset values are lower than areas harder hit by the…[Read more]

Hi SapphireThanks for your concern for others and taking the time to warn them to conduct their own due diligence. Thanks also for concurring that the houses we are buying are pretty darn good in regards to cash flow of 20% net return. I do need to correct you in regard to some of the assertions made. It is true that i do not own any of these…[Read more]

Risk and RewardI do not recommend casual investment in the US. It is not easy or safe for part time investors.Investing in the US takes courage and commitment. There are plenty of lack-luster operators who say one thing and do another. They appear genuine and tell you what you would like to hear, but do not honour their word or give good service.…[Read more]
