I Currently live in a Villa Rica GA and I’m looking to get into investing.

I've heard some investors are scared to invest outside of the United States. Are their reasons justified because of lack of information or strategy?

We can invest with hopes of property value increases.

Or we can in...

It should cost a few hundred dollars but could help you save thousands by timing the sale appropriately.Luke

It cost a little more, but I can get higher rents and they rent in a few days.

If I buy a house for flip in my name, then quick deed it to my llc before I sell it (the llc is still being filed with the state atm), can I count the purchase cost as an expense for the llc so that my net profit doesn't show the entire sale price?

But here are few things to remember.Use a amortization calculator to find out how much a loan will cost a year.If a deal will "cash flow" most investors focus on the return of the cash investment which is the down payment and any up front repairs.

I have not used truerent, but of the systems that I have looked at it was in 2nd place because of the feature set it had and was comparable to more advanced systems like propertyware but did not cost as much. 

Yes, you read that right...free money.The explanation of this is a little long for this format, but I'll give you the highlights:1 - Because there is no collateral, when you flip the "cash like substance" (that's what I call it) through a deal, unlike a collateralized loan, you get the principal (this money) back...along with the profits.2 - ...to use again, and again, and again...3 - ...but you only payed for it one time.This is why I say, if you use (not spend) this money correctly, the initial cost is the ONLY COST...as in, you can have unlimited use...but only pay for it one time, and that one time initial cost is insignificant. 

Find one that doesn't cost a fortune for membership.

I'm pretty familiar with the East Bay and 2 years ago you could buy at market, update kitchen and baths (granite, light fixtures and MAYBE floors) for about $15-$20K and resell in 90 days for a net $60K +/- gain.Based on the number of ppties I see on the MLS now I'd say some of those "investors" probably got caught flat-footed, unless they timed the market exactly right-which I doubt.I just spent a week in far eastern Contra Costa County, in a "waterfront" town.
