It got me thinking about how major developments like this are impacting property values, demand, and investment opportunities around our area.

@Maura WinklerI would look into getting a portfolio loan against your US real estate to acquire that property.

I have a house that is a two bedroom one bath property with a decent size lot.

Purchase price: $675,000 Cash invested: $120,000 Property taken back by lenders in the economic downturn and Housing crises in 2008, in the Las Vegas, NV, Valley.

As for my rentals, all the cash flow goes right back into the properties or is set aside for future investments.

That said, Kensington (north of Lehigh) is another world that I dont touch even though I have a property just south of lehigh in east Kensington (still some zombies) but has stayed rented with great tenants and no vacancy for 5 years.  

Hey everyone,I’ve been working in real estate for a little bit now, and like many of you, I’ve found that two big challenges keep coming up:Finding distressed or off-market properties before they get picked up by others.The time-consuming process of property analysis—especially when trying to figure out ROI, ARV, or repair costs quickly.I’m curious how you all are dealing with these issues.

You can put a little as 5% down payment for conventional or 3.5% for FHA.Alternative way, is to acquire the 2nd property as an investment property with conventional, while putting 15%-25% down payment.

I've been where you are and now I own many properties out of state. 

@Elena FabriIn our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.
