Hey Marc,
I just liked getting the guys perspective in houston as many (like joshua berg and michael plaks etc) are very experienced real estate guys.
.It is just a good reminder that its of course possible but not always easy to get consistent cashflow.

If their is only a slim margin of cashflow in a property each month that doesnt leave alot…[Read more]

Hey guys,
hope yr all well?!!

Yes the on paper returns are there in the states for sure but you definately need good connections to work with over there.

Also make sure you factor in vacancy rates and re-rental fees if you are considering the multi unit blocks in the lower socio economic areas.It does eat into yr returns for sure.

welcome too…[Read more]

Just be careful of the sliding scale of commission,it can tempt shonky practices just to get a higher price for the house for the agent to get a higher commission.(regardless of what the propertys actually worth.)

Definately give it a go yr self.I have found it can depend on the type of tenant you have in yr house too as to whether it works.The older retired folk can be great tenents to self manage.

I have one prop (13hrs drive away from me) i bought who has a lady who has lived in the house for 10 yrs so far and every time i talk to her she says,”yr not…[Read more]

Unless of course the agent is a real yhonest guy aswell and can…[Read more]

Hey Don,
looks good mate!
I personally like no 1) as it keeps things simple.Its not too busy and
it makes a powerful statement of upwards (growth positive)
and the tick confirming yes its cashflow positive.
The only thing i possibly would change on it would be make the arrow straight up.Just a thought for u.
well done man
