I'd stay away from Memphis as it seems the values aren't as strong. You can buy property for very cheap and should expect it to be filled with problems. I used to live near it and know enough to not be interested in it at all. Nashville, on the…[Read more]

I’d always take the time to get several references from them and do some serious research on their reputation, services and pricing. One of the biggest things you can do to help yourself is to bring several investors in with you and have enough…[Read more]

The bubble has burst and since many of these markets were inflated, they’re now suffering because the values are way to high for the homeowners.

Here’s a classic example of what I’m…[Read more]

I’m not familiar with NY, but do know of a broker who works with investors from outside the country:

I’m not familiar with the tax situation there and so my adivce is based off of my understanding of US real estate. I don’t want to guide you away from important structures you’ll need to have in place out there.

We see positive cash flow on a regular basis in Indiana.

One example: I have a home I purchased two years ago for $60,000 that brings be a positive cash flow of $250/month. I have never spoken to the tenants and have no reason to do so. They pay…[Read more]

You’ll want to know what you’re capable of doing before you try to do it. It gives you a sense of confidence to know your limitations and possibilities.

Then, look at as many deals as you can. I don’t think it’s wise to jump right in on a deal unless you have a great mentor who is helping you through each and…[Read more]

Wow! That’s pretty amazing. Where are you investing? I’m trying to understand the AUS market and don’t know anything about it. What kinds of prices are you paying and how much are the rents? Just curious.

It would be worth checking into if nothing else:

I have a Fee for Service Agreement I could send you and would be more than happy to do so, but don’t know if it would cover you well enough there or not.

A birddog locates properties for investors that meet their specific standards or interests. Depending on where you’re locating them, you can get paid a marketing fee, a consulting fee or a finders fee. A lot of this depends on the laws in the area and how much you’re actually doing for the…[Read more]

I’m new to this forum, but being from the US, would have to strongly agree with Nigel and Chad. I came on here to see what the international market was like and to begin learning on a global scale, but have a pretty good feel for the US and think you’ll easily find good cash flow deals in numerous places around the country.

I can’t speak for laws in your area, but know that some here charge a marketing fee to the seller. Some also charge a consulting fee to the seller or the buyer. I’m not…[Read more]

Are you purchasing to rent it out or are you hoping to begin flipping property?

If I’m looking for a rental, I run numbers on things very different from when I’m trying to find a house to flip.

I guess my question is, what is the end result…[Read more]

That’s a very comprehensive list and while I may not take it all in the same order, it covers everything you’ll need and want to know.

Building your team is the most vital piece I see on there. No matter what else you do, a good team will make or break your investing efforts.
