All Topics / Overseas Deals / $$$ The U.S. Property Contact List $$$
Hi guys,
I wish I had this list when I first started out. This list is a few years in the making, so I thought I would share with all the newbies just starting out and wanting to save some time
Some of these contacts are based in Kansas City but I still hope it is beneficial for anyone reading:
Building Inspector – Michael Calegari: [email protected] or Ryan Grimm: [email protected]
Title Company (same as the settlement/conveyancing company that we use to close RE deals in Australia) – Tina Whitlock: [email protected] or Jeff Haywood: [email protected]

Thank you for putting this list together property_scout This is really, really helpful. You are a star!
Hi property_scout and thanks for sharing this US contact list,
as far as I know you are the first person here to share this info.Top effort Property_Scout!
I'm just starting to invest in Florida. As I progress I'll develop a similar list and post it when its useful!
This is such a great value add to all the readers of these posts. So congrats for getting the ball rolling and giving everyone the benefit of your research. I would also add that a good place to start is by considering which market in the US to pick from, as they are so vast and different. There has been some good research by others on this, including the following link to the Kiplinger's web site article on Best Value Cities in the US: http://www.kiplinger.com/slideshow/best-value-cities-2011/1.html
Another good one is the "emptiest cities in the US by CNBC and repeated here at Yahoo Real Estate (so places to possibly avoid): http://realestate.yahoo.com/promo/americas-emptiest-cities-2011.html
I am an Australian and have lived and worked all over the US for the past 16 years and have lived and worked in Charlotte North Carolina for the past 7 years and have used each of these guys repeatedly. I get no referral fees for providing their information here. Just the satisfaction of referring top guys in their business in the Charlotte North Carolina market.
For all mortgage related stuff – Scott Schumann – email is [email protected]
For all legal/title/closing work – Jaime Kosofsky at [email protected]
I have some great property management contacts and property inspection folk as well.
And one last thing, anyone investing in the US needs to understand the IRS rule known as FIRPTA – follow this link to learn more about this tax that is due when you sell your US property: http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/international/article/0,,id=105000,00.html
