Smart investors make their money when they buy - waiting for appreciation seems to be a bit like gambling.

Probably a bit of a gamble to waive some of my rights, but really wanted to push this deal thru

If they've just got the 3.5% down, then you've got to decide if it's worth the gamble to enter into a long escrow, or take the listing back to active in hopes of finding the right buyer with the right loan (or cash).

While living in Europe I started a firm that makes acquisitions on behalf of UK- and Scandinavian retirement funds, so I still do a lot of that - mainly just buy whatever they need, often commercial properties or land lots, as regulation over there prevents them from holding residential properties as part of their IRA.I have developed a few smaller communities (up to 100 homes) in Belize and a few other places across the Caribbean, and I guess development is more my "passion" within the industry.Finally, we also established two funds for high net worth individuals which we are using to acquire high yielding portfolios of properties, as well as bulk portfolios for resale.Would love to network and connect with people from the local area, as well as always looking for deals!

I certainly take your point about the UK (and particularly London!)

Try flying into Destin from the UK or Hong Kong or Brazil.6.

You mention on another thread that you're from the UK.

A lot of investors that buy our properties in the US have been coming out of UK and Australia.

I am not a gambling man.

I don't chase other women, go out drinking all night, spend money on gambling, or things like that.
