Most of the properties we find for our clients thru Genesis are netting between 13 and 15% with gross around the 20 mark.

You could offer some work to the residents of the local crack house up the road but the…[Read more]

Investing in USA is something that is not for everybody, with the distance involved you have to be very thourough with your due dilligence. We are lucky to be working with a company that buys property, renovates it and then property manages it all within the one company.

My wife and I run a buyers agents in Newcastle just south of Port Macquarie.Scott was spot on with his appraisal of Port. When the “development age” started about 5 years ago everyone started looking for cheap coastal properties (in comparison with Sydney) to develop.
