Hi Roundy,

Obviously your talking some sort of hands off real estate investment or you wouldn't be on this forum. I can tell you for a fact that buying real estate is not a hands off investment.....you'll be dealing with tenants and toilets and emailing or calling your property manager for all sorts of things. Then you have the other issue that your only talking an investment of $40,000-00 which generally puts you in the warzone area's and the problems you will have with that which again takes it back to not being classified as hands off.

The only hands off investment that I have done that involves real estate is to buy real estate notes instead of the actual real estate. I purchased a few last year and each and every month a check gets deposited into my account for the same amount month after month and will continue for another 4 years that way at least. Let me explain as I know in Australia we don't have anything like this so not sure about Ireland where your from but in the US.....buying and selling of notes is as big as the real estate market.

Example of one of my investments is:

$40,000-00 investment. Term of the note is 4-5 years. I have the first Deed of Trust over the property which is valued at $59,000 independently so the loan to value ratio is 68%. I share in the equity 50/50 so in 4-5 years time if we decide to call in the note the property is sold and I get half of the equity. So if it doesn't rise in value I get my initial $40,000 back plus $9500 equity whilst for the last 4-5 years I have been getting paid 9% on my initial investment so $300 a month. I don't have to care or get involved with maintenance or vacancy issues. I have other property investments both residential and commercial but nothing is as simple as this one.

I don't understand why you pay so much for properties in Detroit.
you can buy properties that generate rent of $650 for 20-23k with %19 Net.

Hi Speedy are you able to provide a link or two to sites that explain these real estate notes (including risks involved) or detail the names of some of them?

Much appreciated

The reason the good investments are so much more expensive is because these are generally in better neighbourhoods and have been fully refurbished throughout the property.
The more expensive investments also have clean titles so no worries about outstanding debts on the addresses.
These are also fully managed and tenanted.
Investors are seeing yields up to 24% and of course by taking advantage of the current climate and the BMV market in the U.S the natural appreciation of the property as the economy recovers over time.
I have seen firsthand some if the $5,000 - $9,000 properties being offered and these properties are all but destroyed.
They are in very run down, poor neighbourhoods.
All pipe work has been stripped along with any other metals, they have had walls smashed through all glazing gone . They are for all intents, derelict.
If you have the time to base yourself in Michigan and manage and project manage the refurbishment yourself, this may be feasible but surely it makes more sense to deal with some of the 'good' brokers and pick up a much, much simpler product already for you to hit the ground running and collect rental income from month 1?

I do understand that people see these cheap properties and maximise on the market but if you are looking for quick returns speak to Crystal about 12 month social housing projects offering 20% yields.
If you want to build your portfolio with proven properties and good yields then Detroit is the place to buy.
Investments should be like watching a tree grow.
I have seen properties in very desirable areas for under $40,000 that were sold two years ago for more than double this figure and it will return.

Maybe you are considering some cities or towns? What are you looking for exactly? What type of property do you want? What is cheap for you? Try to make a list of places where you’d like to live and compare the prices on property there to know what you can afford.

If you stay away from coastlines and any attraction cities it will be the cheapest. Usually somewhere mid-west is also a lower scale property markets. Hope this helps :)

Looking for an affordable house? Head to Detroit, which has the cheapest homes in America. The city's median home price is less than $35,000, and in certain neighborhoods you can buy homes for even less.

But the Michigan city, whose economy has been declining for decades amid the loss of manufacturing jobs and, more recently, the subprime collapse, isn't alone

Hi cheapest place in the USA Detroit , but its not for all.. Also you may need visas in place and that takes time and money.. You could buy property to rent out I advice H75 throughout Georgia , Tennessee etc look on the map and pick out a few . Myself I have bought in Valdosta Georgia about 18 miles away from Florida and the weather is great . Also the area is quiet and Away from the tourist hot spots..
Buy to rent out and build up your own property business in the USA that way you could accelerate the visa you may need if you start a property business.
Anyway please stay close to your family and once you have a few days weeks away you may see things differently. Hold fire and do not react out of anger that may be a big mistake...
Property investment should be made after carefully consideration and the area has been visited and you are comfortable.
If you are still keen on the USA join us on a road trip along H75 one year where I go from key west Florida to Detroit Michigan, a few investors has already done this and it's an experience ..
Thank you for your information
