Majority of my investments to date have been in UK.

Hi everyone,I'm completely new to real estate and am looking for advice or a mentor's tips on the whole process of figuring out whether renting student property in the UK is sustainable and then going forward and acquiring a property.

Hi Guys,I am from the UK and am wanting to start a property portfolio in the USA.

You mentioned that an out of state investor will never know the market as well as a local and I don't disagree , but I have a theory that perhaps someone from out of state might be able to better see opportunities in a market .Perhaps similar in a way to an immigrant might open a business in an area locals might have given up on or see as neglected and actually succeed?

It's not as exciting as the rapidly appreciating areas, but you've got a lot of solid blue collar and immigrant renters and less crime.

However, since I am currently based in London, UK and would like to analyse houses in Canada, these methods aren't feasible to me.

NYC's apartment market rounded out the top 10.Below is the latest from Oxford (UK) researchers.Keep in mind LA is #1 nationally for total sfr returns ( cash flow plus equity) since 2000.

. $400 a month ($100 for the area, and $300 for the gated community).Now I was going to rent for $2600 to cover the mortgage (which is about $2500...the principle is about $250 the rest is interest)), and cover the HOA's and property tax myself...the thing is my husband earns over $150k so we don't get the tax benefits as far as I know.We do have extra money aside ..about $80-90k in the UK...was hoping to use that to help upgrade to a new home someday...don't mind spending some of it to keep the current...but just scared of throwing our money away in the meantime even if the house does go back up again in few years...and make no money at all but a loss...most of all our savings gone..house now has capital gains if we leave it too long (even if we can recoup some of that loss as passive loss when we sell...seems like injecting so much money each month over x amount of years won't really pay back), and the company not paying closing costs then etc...Is it worth it, should we just sell?...

Plus with Trump's strict enforcement of immigration laws, the industry is losing manpower. 

All I can say is down here no one is going to do a tear off/lay down for $170 a square, even on a 4/12 and if the house was next door to the shop, unless they're unlicensed, unbonded, uninsured, and using illegal immigrant labor.
