Makes the whole process easier and relatively risk free. It also allows you to avoid the pitfalls of owning property in the US as the rental game in the states is not an easy one. Evictions and…[Read more]

I think the real market in the US is for larger, highend flips over $500k which doesn’t seem like much in Australia but buys quite a bit of house in many US markets. I also like apartments and the group I am with is eye balling some C-D properties that can be bought fairly cheap and then…[Read more]

Unless it’s a quick flip, they are total bullash. You need to set the sink with a super strong silicone made for this purpose. My contractor usually uses GE silicone on most of our sinks but with a stone sink, you might want to use the epoxy. On my higher-end flips, we almost always have to redo the undermount stainless…[Read more]

I can’t imagine that a 2bedroom would ever rent for more than the combined income on the 2 singles, especially if it is a very small. Your return is bloody awful if I am understanding it correct at 3.3% (is that annually) if so – that’s insane!! Can you get more rents doing airbBnB? If not, I’d…[Read more]

If you’ve ever looked at a floor and it looks like it has ripples or waves all across it, that’s someone who had no idea what they were doing. We almost always redo the hardwoods on our flips and rentals. If the floors are super bad as they can be in the…[Read more]

It’s a real estate forum not a gambling one

You might want to look at particpating in a real estate fund or something else you can start with reasonably, use a credit card for security and still get 10% returns.

Look for investments where you can start out at a modest amount and grow from there and only work with programs that allow for credit card use. If they don’t, you won’t see a…[Read more]
