Hey Maxolau,

I have been dealing with property in the US for 18months now so am learning alot about how things work (and mostly through mistakes and trial and errror).(and the usa is VERY different to aussie investing.Property investing DOES NOT run as easily as in Australia .)

I have also found that it is very difficult to get people who do what they say.

I have had relationship with Chad for probably about 11 months now.Even though i have never bought through him,he has always been open and honest with me.He is always willing to help out on advice and contacts knowing that i dont buy through him, as i am with him also. But this says alot about a person who wants to help a fellow investor out without payment.
I can confidently say i would trust Chad in business dealings
for sure.
but as with any new contact you need to test people and systems.it is just wisdom in business.
Of course give it time first before u buy anything and do yr research,research,research, on the area you are considering buying in first.
Talk to many different people in the know as well.what i have learned to do through buying in the us is, to only buy one property through a person initially and test out there management quality and follow up and integrity for at least 6 to 12 months

Dont get swept up in emotion that yr gonna make huge money in the US if only you can get yr hands on a piece of real estate.Be wise and take yr time ,dont be anxious about it.Then when you are content and confident in yr areas and typeof product (say for eg single family 3bed 2bath at a certain price in a specific area) go for it when the right property comes up.

I have spoken to nigel a couple of times when i was in San antonio
last and he is obviously making a huge effort to learn the whole market over there but I havent yet had enough to do with him to recommend him.

Hope this helps guys

Great work nigel!
The management of the whole lot is more important than most of it i reckon,
so u can keep good repoor with the clients you are selling too.
But yer it is a battle as a lot of the people who need to rent in the cheap to mid range areas are lower socio-economic so can be a handful to look after. If u run credit checks on them though and they have reasonably good ratings,there is less chance they are going to break a lease and suffer the consequences on their rating.

all the best to u guys over there ,great to hear things are progressing!

sounds awesome Chad!
Good on you man for helping out.
I also have a contact based in Buffalo who is in the market on
a daily basis.
He is very honest and trustworthy.
If Chad cant help you guys,feel free to shoot me an email and ill give you his details.
all the best guys

Dont do it Adam , Stay a virgin !
ha ha just kiddin man hope yr enjoying yr time on the site.
Great to have you man!

The awesome thing is we not only have angels watching over us but we can have God himself walking with us !
It sounds a bit weird but its very real.God offered us a relationship with him to bring us forgiveness, freedom and a new life !
I’ll stop Preachin now!

Are u going to add it to yr portfolio Terry?

Yes there are a few props for 40K around today.
try advertise in the local papers in country towns where there is reasonable infrastructure and at least a reasonable population (i like 20K plus peope).

These price properties are good to learn the whole property market and investing without risking mistakes with huge amounts
of money.
