Thanks a lot for your replies guys!

I'm not sure about the lingo, but by RE investments company I meant - companies\individual investors that helps in finding deals and managing the entire asset purchase process, including deals with local management companies etc.. 

I've never done market research before, i'd appreciate any guidance on the topic, how should I go about researching a RE market? I'm trying to understand what information should I look for and where?

"UBS Global Real Estate Bubble Index" reference was great

Thanks a lot for you help guys!

Hi guys,

I'm making my way towards my first deal.

I live in Israel, and while there are people that feel that good deals can be found, the public opinion is that the local market is too expensive and lots of people even say that we have a RE bubble on our hands. 

my take is - regardless who is right, this is probably not the ideal market, so I've decided to invest abroad.

I had doubts regarding whether I should do my first deal through a RE investments company or go through it on my own.

currently, I feel it would be a better idea to use a RE investments company, because of the complexity and the amount of mistakes that can be done, but I can't make up my mind about where I should focus, each REI company is focused on a given market and they have all the arguments to explain why their market is the best and the rest are dangerous...

I've narrowed it down to two companies, one is focusing on northern England and the other in Spain, and like I said, each company is doing a great job explaining why their market has the most potential, I'm very confused... 

can you guys recommend how I should go about this? 

how can I make my own research of those markets ?

any other thoughts\advise will be great as well 

cheers,

Avi

@James Wise thanks!

Thanks Anthoney!

Hi Guys, 

Nice to meet you all, my name is Avi and I'm from Israel, 

I'm an independent software consultant\developer, operating in the "big data' field. 

although I've been interested in real estate for a long time, it wasn't until recently that I've made a decision to 

make my first move, so I've done some research, read the book on 'The Book On Rental Property Investing' 

I'm interested in rentals\buy and hold. 

currently it seems that the real estate market in Israel is too risky and it seems like northern England has some good potential, so I'm looking to double down on it for the near future. 

I'm looking to meet nice, like minded people and hope to provide value to this cool community myself

cheers,

Avi
