just send me the cash and ill get you started
Get to the North Seattle area as quickly as possible. The housing development rate here in Snohomish County is booming! You can almost make 100% of your investment by putting a Manufactured/Mobile Home on real property and sell it for twice you paid for the property itself! This can be done rather quickly, I’d estimate about 5-6 months turn around, a possible $100,000 profit! No joke! If you want to know more send me an e-mail: faysdaze1@verizon.net
First off, your inquiry is multiple questions in one… However I would try and answer as many as possible to the best of my abilities
1. Anything is possible but there is no guarantee you would earn 40 to 50% on your R/E investment. It would also depend which real estate market you’re interest/investing in. For example in California where property values traditionally return higher dividends to investors than the rest of the country, in a relative hot market the norm is between 20 to 30%. Presently the real estate market nationwide is flat… In short–there is no guarantee….
2. Cant answer this questions…it varies depending on services rendered
3. No need to prove source of funds….
4. I dont think so….
5. Again, anything is possible. In fact there are companies that specialize in doing just that. I personally dont like the idea for I like to have control over my investments..too many people, even with a legal contract, too many headaches.
6. Buying a piece of property, once you have identify market and property to purchase, is a relative simple task…at lest for american citizens it is. Now to roganize a group of investors I suppose it would be more expensive and time consuming.
7. that’s utterly up to the individual investor….
8. It’s possible but it depends on lots of factros; location, market, price, etc. It’s possible but no guarantee…
9. There are too many, complex tax rules to give a simple answer… I would suspect that capital gains, specially if you are a foreign investor, could be in the 25%, give or take.
I hope I were able to give you a ball park answer to all your questions. My honest advice to you: Consult with an international real estate attorney before investing. Best of luck.
I live in Silicon Valley (santa clara county), or San Francisco bay area in northern Californian, where housing is one of the most expensive in the country. House price has doubled over the last 8 years, and up 50% in the last 5 year. The reasons are: being hi tech center of the world, high paying jobs and great talents, millionaires made by companies like Google, Yahoo, Ebay, Cisco etc (first thing they do is to buy a million $ house), great weather, great outdoor activities (ocean and mountain, surfing and skiing), and diversified ethnic groups and culture, great food of all flavors. I think prices will slow somewhat in the near term(as with all other areas in the US), but still up higher % wise than other part of the country, as it has been in the last 50 years.
Commission 6% paid by seller, no commison paid by buyer, for a house, townhouse, condo or whatever property.
You can buy as an individual, or pool money together, don’t have to be institution. You can buy as foreigner. You can even borrow/loan money as foreigner (contact me if you need help, I’m in the real estate and loan business).
You can buy the property and rent it out to earn income (there are property management company do this). Then all you need is pretty much just money, and a good real estate agent can pull the deal together for you. Properties sold easily in Silion Valley, esp good areas (like Palo Alto, where Stanford Univ is), buyers bid prices up, crazily. When I tried to buy a house there last year, I submitted over a dozen offer (all bidding up) and and couldn’t get one, there was always someone outbide me. It cools down now, but still multiple offers.
Individuals are exempt from real estate sale tax up to $250,000, hold longer than 2 years as personal residence. If as income property, capital gain when house is sold. I know stock capital gains are not taxed in US for foreigners (supposedly you pay tax in your home country, so we don’t tax you again here), should be same for real estate capital gain, but need to confirm.
