Hello from Scotland

[Robin Ferrier]

Hi there, and congratulations on a great forum. It looks like just the place to get the information I need on US real estate. I am an amateur property investor based in UK where interest rates but more importantly house prices have reached an untenable level. The housing market looks set for a major slowdown if not a level off (talk of a crash I think is premature). Has been stratospheric for years. Now I can't find many investment opportunities in my region at a price I want and find the US an interesting prospect. The problem I face is that although I know what I want in terms of real esate services, in the USA at least, I am not too sure how to get it.

I hope therefore if I ask what to many might be silly questions to a local, you'll not laugh too loud at the rookie Brit. On the other hand should anyone like to know more about the UK market, I would be only too happy to help where I can.

Many thanks in anticipation.
