Bought another home to improve while in the UK, and figured out how to buy houses back in the US while still in the UK. 

Hi @Maura Covaci,We are from the UK and in the process of buying our first property in France, in Marseille.

I gambled and told them NO---that he owed that amount and I was not willing to settle for less.

The investors were in the UK so the SEC syndication rules did not apply.

You are gambling and making assumptions on things you have no control over like interest rates, employment, etc.. 

I was real close to trying one on the lake property here in central Fl .. but i let a top real estate agent talk me out if it .. if my numbers were even close ..and seeing how i could get the property with a tear down house on it for $100k w/ the house torn down .. then i was looking at putting up a 35-3700sqft container home for right around $200k and with homes in the area fetching a average $230-270 a sqft .. i figured i could have made a tidy profit for me and my partner  .. ..note ( even though the property was lake front , there was a active rr track right across the street which is one of the main reasons i passed on building anything there ).. i dont have a ton of my own money to gamble with and , i certainly dont like to gamble with other peoples money to the tune of $300-350k unless its a no brainer which means its not much of a gamble.. let us know if you do and please post costs and pictures .. i think its a great idea ....oh ya .. there are used ones and then there are one time use ones .. they cost a bit more but if you are worried about dents and what not then i would pay the xtra ..

Dont drink, dont smoke, dont gamble.

What I love about CC is my new construction home will have low flood insurance and will rent for a premium because it's new.Send me a pm if you need to know more.I live in the UK and manage everything from here, I've already got a great time on the ground in CC and also Sarasota if you need any help there.Good Luck with yourinvesement journey

It's a gamble I suppose however these types of tenants can be big problems.

Hello dear amazing real estate lovers I was recently surprised to look at dwindled real estate market of Dubai in recent times, at the same time UK construction economy is catching up and if we look at London industry so it speaks of extremely high demands.
