Yes, this is not at all uncommon for SFR (single family residences, ie houses) in Florida, California, Nevada, Arizona, and other bubble areas.I've seen stuff here list at 850k and sell for 300k on short sales (which is basically where the bank is selling for less than mortgage value) - which are everywhere.
We'll drive down streets - if you have 10 houses - at least 4 will be vacant or getting forclosed on
I missed out on the deal
Bought for $1.5 mil in '06, selling today for $362,900. Ouch!
No, they tend to be very localised. May be able to get you some contacts there, though, through my networks.hi prep
can you come back with the following as you have spoken to a heap of people there

Last time I checked on commercial mortgage rates, you could get about 5.8% fixed for 30 years if your LVR is low enough (ie below 70%, maybe 80%). If you want higher LVR, you'll probably have to pay higher interest on some/all of the funds until you manufacture equity to get yourself down to sub-80%.grossreal said:2 whats his rate if you are a aussie investor
Your US entity pays US taxes, and if it's distributed to you personally, you then have to calculate what tax you'd pay on the gross profit/dividend, and then you get a credit for tax paid in USA and pay the diff in Australia. So if you get $100K profit and pay, say, $30K tax in USA, you then have to declare $100K income in Australia, and if you would have to pay $40K tax on it, you get credit for the $30K paid in USA, and pay Australian government $10K.grossreal said:3 what the tax that side if you are an aussie iinvestor and the deal is cashflow positive
Yes, have an accountant there, not sure if they work in Ohio. Possibly not because there are so many state-based taxes over there.grossreal said:did you organise an accountant there and does he work in ohio
Don't know anything about this, sorry. If I went down the SMSF road, I'd probably use an Australian SMSF to own shares, or be members of, the US entity that owns the property.grossreal said:4 do they have smsf over there and do the understand them they will havesuperfund but not sure about smsf'f and if they understand how they invest
If you're asking whether you can own the entire building in something analogous to a unit trust, yes, you can. You probably want an LLC which allows for members to own specific percentages. This table is a reasonable summary of their corporate entities. Note that Aussie individuals and Aussie entities can't create an S-Corp (they're US-only entities), so the only relevant options to us are a C-Corp (analogous to a company) or an LLC (analogous to a Trust). [nb I'm not saying they're the same as a company and Trust, but broadly speaking they're similar in concept, ie the former is a stand-alone entity whereas the latter is a flow-through vehicle.]grossreal said:5.company titles is that a thing in the market so if a whole building is bought can we do as the old system here was a company title and sell shares not unit in the development
