It’s been a while since I’ve posted here, but I’ve been a longtime lurker and student of this forum — and I thought it was a good time to give back.

I think a deal is a deal no matter what is happening on the market. As long as you aren’t banking on appreciation in the short term or something market related to happen for your deal to work then you will do fine. You know what they say, don’t wait to buy real estate, buy real estate and wait

As long as you can manage your payments then using more debt to acquire assets is going to build more wealth. You obviously need to ensure your numbers will still work at higher interest rates and also make sure you have reserves to manage any vacancy, maintenance or capital expenditure.

I will buy it before the investor can take title and they get paid out their investment and interest at closing. It is a good buying strategy as you help the owner get some equity from the house but also get it at a price that leaves some for you to.

I do often add value myself but I also assign a lot of my deals. This means that I contract them and then assign the contract to another investor at a higher price. They close the property and I receive the difference. I sometimes double close meaning I buy the property and sell it to another person on the same day.…[Read more]

It is true that tjose affluent areas often get higher growth in an upmarket but they also go lower in a downtown. This means there is more risk so should get a higher return than a more stable asset to offset that risk. As your data shows this isn’t the cae.

Get a professional inspection report and assess the subject property according to it’s condition rather than its age. I own a 160 year old house in New Orleans but it was rehabbed 5 years ago and in is good condition. You might find a 30 year old house in much worse condition.

We moved from Australia to New Orleans a couple of years. The good thing was I always rented where I lived and bought investment properties in other areas (I lived in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney so this was a much better strategy for me). This made it easy as I just sold 95% of my stuff and shipped 2…[Read more]

I’m originally from Sydney but now run Home Buyer Louisiana — we buy distressed properties across Louisiana, Mississippi, and the Gulf Coast. Wholesaling, BRRRs, and direct-to-seller marketing are our bread and butter.

They weren’t hard to find, once I researched and identified the area I used Realestate.com and a local property manager to check out the properties for me. That being said the returns aren’t great in Australia so it is hard to find great investments. I know live and invest in the USA as the cost of living is lower…[Read more]

If a lot of theses job losses don’t bounce back then this can cause defaults and fire sales or properties and foreclosures. This will have a negative impact on property prices. If the jobs come back fast and the economy is intact then it won’t have much impact.

It is obviously a personal choice of where you want to live and not an investment decision.

Sydney is super expensive to buy in but the rent relative to the price is low (yield). Another option is to rent where you want to live and buy an investment property.…[Read more]
