Great to see people like yourself around Michael, not enough good people around these days. I might also shoot you an email for some advice if you dont mind?

Cheers,
Simon

Hey all,

I am heading over to Miami late feb and was just wondering if anyone is going to be around and would like to possibly catch up? I am keen to get out and see the property market and learn. British buyer would be keen to catch up if you are free late feb early march for a chat and maybe to look at some property and see how it all work in the US.
Thanks in advance.

Simon

Thanks for the prompt reply onthemoney. I would be very keen on this 'investor info pack'. I shall pm you my email.

Sounds like the area is very promising. Are there any areas to stay away from? Should i be looking only a certain distance from the CBD? Whats it like for schools? Hospitals? transport?

Cheers once again

Gday JJ7,

Thanks for taking the time to write so much, I greatly appreciate it.

Will be sure to look into trust magic this arvo and have a read. As for the legal advice, are you able to recommend anyone to speak to about this? We are both eager to start speaking to solicitor or whoever we need to in order to get the ball rolling.

In regards to savings, I have roughly 10k saved and am looking to sell my car to fund more of the deposit (which will give me about another 7k after paying the loan out) My expenses are minimal, just board, food and fuel, and i spend no money on myself so saving is not an issue. As for my mate, he has about 10k saved also. He is about to move to the US as a professional athlete so all living expenses (rent, food etc.) will be covered and he will be on quite good money.

I have read Steves book 0-135 properties in 3.5 years, I’m just a hopeless reader though and really struggle to learn that way, although I will endeavour to read it cover to cover again in the coming months. In saying ‘doing the numbers’ are there any specific formulas or anything you mean? I remember the 11 second rule I think it was called, are there any others I should keep in mind?

Also lastly are there any suburbs that you invest in personally for cash flow or that you would recommend?

Once again thanks for your time.

Cheers,

Simon
