If their buydowns expires and rates aren’t down and their payment goes up another $500….and that old car they have been holding on to breaks down and they need a new car and now a new car payment is $700 because rates in autos are 6-7 percent…I mean Americans always used to live paycheck to paycheck there isn’t much slack for most to absorb. this economy isn’t built on high rates for long durations.

@Chris Thomas they are owned by first American title so they have ton of information and work with title farms and counties to have this info

I train and I educate the next generation of Americans trying to do it the right way

The ONLY way you get the buying opportunity your thinking, where rents day 1 are 8-cap+, is 30 million Americans roll-over and die, or you drop rates while removing everyone's capacity to buy, like 30 million put on unemployment tomorrow. 

I was also troubled by the amount of American content.

I'm not a Communist owned by society. 

It simply helped me not be so shy (I joined a fraternity and the one nice thing about that, aside from becoming less shy, was that a fraternity is a great microcosm of how life works and the B.S. social structure of society, which was a great lesson to learn young as you quickly learn that that popularity contest most people strive for is both an illusion and a waste of time and money).My nephew is 24 and has owned a house a few years (he worked and went to college later - he's still attending though he works a full work week).

And make sure you are working with a good Portuguese lawyer familiar with American / international RE laws.

We also work with First American and they have a virtually identical app that also is an amazing free tool with the same data that works across the country.

Assuming the American consumer is money-savvy would be a mistake.
