I need an excellent agent to help me find the right vacation home and get me a good deal.  Any recommendations?

Also any feedback on Storey Lake this is an area of interest to me.

Thanks 

Hello,

I have never made an offer on a property in the US.  In England its very common one offers approx 15% below the asking price whereby in Scotland one bids and generally pays more than the asking price.

What is common there?  Does it vary by State?  How is it in Florida?  I am looking at purchasing a vacation home for myself on the secondary market.    Also who is generally responsible for the closing fees?  I have been told I would need to pay 2%? 

Advice appreciated  thank you! 

 Thank you! Nice to hear from someone there.... as I say friendly people :-) 

Hello 

My name is Lindsey and I actually created an account a while ago but never used it.  So here I am,  finally it is time to get started.

I have been living in Dubai, UAE for the last 18 years yet I am originally from the UK.  I started off as a flight attendant with Emirates Airline and gradually through reading Rich Dad Poor Dad started investing in real estate.  Not only do I  now invest in real estate but I worked for quite a few years as a real estate agent too.  Property is my passion.

I am looking to invest in the USA, areas that produce good monthly passive income, capital gains is a bonus but not the driving factor.  Indianapolis seems to be a good area. 

I have visited the USA many times and really enjoy the country and its people.  We are hoping in time to move there too.

Any guidance appreciated.
