Emigrating from South Africa

Don Bush answered:
Hi, Tracy,

Welcome. I miss S A, have great friends in Sandton, Sundowner, East London, and others.

There are International Credit Checks, they can be a slow process, however. Establishing credit history here before moving may be advantageous, if you have time. We also found the foreign office , in your country, may arrange to notarize (perhaps through apostille for U S Institution requirements) anything you may need to bring to save time. Consult a top Mortgage Loan Officer here now for advice. (Note: Even Americans with top credit scores are having difficulty with mortgage loans in the environment here of new rules, perhaps backlash toward financial institution's critics.) - Thu Oct 30 2008, 06:44

Best areas to buy for rent purpose

Don Bush answered:
Have your Investment Realtor compare the rentals vs purchase prices in several areas you might be interested in. You will see "CAP RATES." This capitalization rate is figure on NET income. The higher, the better, of course, except that risk might also increase with high rates; while the lower cap rate might give you greater appreciation. After learning about this, you can apply more detail to specific properties.

In any event, this investment path is one of the best now (Ask anyone about their mutual funds that their broker touted as safe.) . Columbus is also one of the best areas now for higher Cap Rates and STABILITY -very important in highly leveraged investing. - Tue Oct 28 2008, 04:48

Do you or your company have your listings on Zillow?

Don Bush answered:
ZIllow is amomg many. We use them becasue general stats point to the trend of buyers to cruise the net on different sites. - Mon Oct 27 2008, 07:17
Don Bush answered:
However the national statistics trend, Columbus Metro Area is most stable of all; that is; drops in prices are likely less severe here. Highly leveraged investments such as Real Estate purchased with mortgage loans are better kept in the least volatility. - Mon Oct 27 2008, 07:12
