However, real estate overseas is actually very different from the US, with maybe the exception of Canada (which still has significant differences).Among other things, the legal and banking systems are oftentimes very different, as is the local investing culture (or lack thereof).As mentioned by @Joe Splitrock, there is an international forum here but there’s a lot of wrong information there, which I’ve been trying to correct whenever I encounter it.After almost 500 replies to posts related to international investing, many members have contacted me to either compliment me on the quality of my content and to ask me for further help.

When they ask people from other countries what do they think of Americans...common responses are they are optimistic, confident, louder, friendly and shop/consume more than any other cultures.

I ran two sets of numbers (me occupying, and me not occupying a unit) And I plan to contribute monthly to add to the GOK, god only knows fund.Are these safe and conservative numbers?

I ran the numbers and there is money to be made.How quick can you get approval for hard money?

We should also see OPEC, Iran, and Russia yield to Suadi. 

I ran the numbers using their asking price.

that being said Philadelphia is where New York, Boston and D.C. money is flowing... so is the culture, restaurants, industries, etc. 

Good Morning BP family, I have come across a possible STEAL deal. property is FSBO and he is firm on his asking price of $110k & wants to sell ASAP. his reason for selling is to purchase equipment for his winter business. long story short, i ran my numbers and comps on the property (realestateabc.com) and this is what I've come up with...Asking price is $110k, ARV of property $248,568 minus aprox. $10k for repairs.

Assuming i ran my numbers right my thought is that the building has an issue of some sort although they do not indicate that is the case.

This completely changed the deal for me considering the seller had a mortgage that I already knew about when I ran my own title search.
