Any short term gain will be overshadowed to the power of 10 by the amount of business and opportunities you miss out on

Hey Nathan ,
are you meaning ,can you legally go and buy a property in the US?
The answer is anyone can.You can buy it in yr own name or start up a company and buy through it if you prefer.
You just have to lodge a US tax return at the end of the year,then offset that on yr Ozzie return.

Hey Solomon,
are you asking which of the big US banks loan to forein nationals?
Or are you asking the names of the financial institutions (usually only acsessed by brokers) that loan to us foreign nationals.
I cant give you the name of the lenders the brokers get loans for us forein nationals because I think they keep that info to themselves as it…[Read more]

Personally , My favourite people to deal with in business are those that up front tell me all the negatives to a deal (ie problems with a property or repairs needed).
I usually find that these type of people will more often than not be honest as they are showing the full picture as best they understand it.
I usually share the positives and the…[Read more]

Hey westan and joel,
Yes I do like the subject to strategy,as it saves alot of the hassles of getting finance for us foreign aliens! Especially while starting out building the portfolio fast over there.(this is why it is a big benefit for me!)
Sometimes people just want a buyer to take over the mortgage on their house and pay the mortgage up to…[Read more]

Definately! Have made plenty!

Listening to people who say”oh you better get in fast and buy as you’ll miss out” This is a load of rubbish.

Not taking responsibility for my own purchases,ie expecting other people s word to be truth in the DD area

Not doing my own research using my own gifts and abilities and experience.

Not following up real…[Read more]

Hey guys,
Buffalo definately has plenty of great opportunities available still!
The management can be a hurdle to over come though.You definately need someone who is aggressive and doesnt take any rubbish from the tenantson one hand but is caring and looks after them on the other hand.
The choice of tenant in the first place is important too.

Hey Solomon,
to answer yr earlier question,
I have purchased a fair few propertys in the states.Some of these were “subject to ” existing mortgage.I really like this option.It makes it so much easier for a foreigner as setting up loans and stuff can be a bit of a headache.
Some of my other propertys i purchased cash up front and then mortgaged…[Read more]

I totally agree!
Life is short!
Ultimately property is just “stuff” and we cant take it with us!
Enjoy yr young years , and be wise at the same time with where u invest yr money and time.
As its not how much u make but what u do with it that seperates a smart worker from a hard worker !

Thanks for that mate!
Last time i used an airless sprayer on one of my propertys it was a complete disaster!! I got more paint in my lungs than anywhere else . !
It was just a cheapy from K Mart I guess that is why .
Once i realised I had oversprayed over the fence on the neighbors figurines I thought that was a good time to go back to the…[Read more]

Well done ginnybear!!!
I know there are people out there keen to connect up.It just amatter of finding them.Just be cautious before commiting to a relationship with someone you have only known a short period.(even if its just business)
