Quote from @Charles D.:

@Justin Hunt

I’ve been abroad for a while and came to the conclusion that passive investing in real estate syndications was a far more pragmatic way of investing from abroad to avoid the complications of managing with direct ownership. That’s not to say it projects couldn’t be managed in such a way but my preference was to not spend my time on that, the flip side being that you really need to be comfortable with the principal running the deal to ensure it is in fact going to be properly managed.

Hope it helps

Thanks Charles,

I had thought of that and there are a couple I have looked into. I think my challenge would be trusting the principal as you say and not having some level of involvement. I see the stock market as the vehicle for hands off investment but I like the ability to force equity with property which im not sure syndications would provide.

We have partners who are foreign investors. DM me, and I will send you contacts for attorneys, lenders, and accountants they have previously used. It is important that you hire professionals who have experience working with foreign investors.


 Hi Charles,

Thanks for the reply. I will send you a message.

Florida is a market I am considering so maybe we could cross paths in the future.

Thanks,

Justin

Hi All,

I would be interested to hear from those who have experience of purchasing property in the US whilst being located abroad. I am located in London, UK and am looking to purchase a BTL or BRRR this year but am wary of any possible challenges I might face due to my location.

Any shared experience would be appreciated, especially covering topics like tax, financing and property management?

Thanks

Quote from @Marta Wendel:

hey Justin, hows the market over there in the UK?

Hi Marta,

The market is pretty strong although most commentators are predicting a small price decline for 2024. We have had the same issues with mortgage rates however a few lenders are starting to reduce rates again.

All in all, the market is pretty strong.

Quote from @Michael Smythe:

Find a few target properties, and post all the number (without the addresses) to family and friends asking who wants to fund your investments...


Hi Michael,

Decent idea, thanks for the suggestion!

Hi everyone. My name is Justin.

I have worked in the property industry in the UK for a number of years, in Property Management and Sales of Rent 2 Rent holiday villas around the Mediterranean, as an Estate Agent and Deal Sourcer and now in Conveyancing.

Over these years I have helped many home buyers and investors on their property journey but now in 2024 my focus has shifted to how I can transition into a real estate investor in my own right, and build my own property portfolio.

I have been a big Bigger Pockets podcast listener for a number of years and I have found it to be a massive motivation tool in my working life but I am super excited to now lean on all the amazing resource as I commence my own investment journey.

I am originally from Australia and have spent the last 13 years living in London, UK.
