Hi Stephen, great video! I read in the comments that you're using an LLC. How do you deal with FIRPTA?

What would you be left with after tax if you bought through a limited company vs as a private landlord already on the 40% tax bracket? That could make a decent vidio

Love it! Would you do these 10 properties on your name or setup a company?

How much capital does it require to buy property in the US..

Wow, great content!!! I just subscribed to your channel! Just a few questions. - How did you find the broker? - How can any of us, who are not into real estate find a good and reliable one? Thanks for sharing Stephen 🤗🤗🤗

Thanks for the great video. What kind of mortgage do you personally refinance with? Interest only or repayment?

loving these videos!

Thank you so much for this. As a uk citizen, would it be possible to secure financing through an llc? Do you have a video on this?

Good video bro❤

Why do most property investors not think of retirement? Why not buy buy to lets, get the mortgage paid off buy the rent within 20 to 25 years then live off the rental income or sell the property? Even if you are not making any net profit, isnt it still better to just keep the property rented until the mortgage is paid off?

Do you have a US bank account? If not, do you use something such as WISE to manage movement of money from US to UK or vice versa?

Brilliant video, really informative 👍

Really helpful 👍🏻

I know you try to find properties that have long-term tenants in place, but would be interesting if you could do a video about commercial properties becoming vacant. I imagine commercial properties are harder to find new tenants, and would be interesting to understand your insights on the landlord being liable for business rates. Honestly, it is these aspects that worry me about investing in commercial property.

Do tenants always pay business rates or does the freeholder sometimes pay and incorporate into the rent?

Although the numbers may appear good as presented, let's face it, they're not realistic. There will always be some refurb costs, especially at this price point. Also, as the properties are flung all over the place, you'd have to allow for a management company, then ongoing repairs, possibly costs to bring them up to a 'C' rating, periods for un-occupation, cleaning / inventory at changeover etc. Not sure if 80% BTL is realistic, but many interest only motgages also carry hefty arrangement fees. Once all this is factored in, some of these deals no longer appear viable. It would be nice to see realistic and accurate budgeting. Otherwise, investors could be managing a large portfolio and not actually generating any income at all. Our money is for investing wisely, not viewing the world with rose-tinted spectacles.

Is it possible to get a commercial mortgage without owning a BTL first? Say if you put down 30% rather than 25%?

Is it not better to do in a ltd company so it saves capital gains ?

What legal structure are you using to invest in the US?

Hi, can you recommend a broker/lender - who do you work with? Many thanks

Thank you so much for this video! My partner and I are London based and branching out into the US and are trying to figure things out on our own so this is priceless coming from a Brit. Here we have Zoopla sold prices to know values and sold prices on a road, down to the door number. Can you do a video on how to find this out in America? Stumbling around Zillow trying to find this info atm. Also there are loads of rental videos, do you know much about flipping out there?

I really like your delivery. It's calm and easy to listen to. I hate property people who shout and use stupid phrases like 'wads of cash' etc....instant distrust for me.

Wow interesting to hear all the detailed costs like that and also that guests expect a 24 hour on call service. I wouldn't do that, just have an email address and that is all. Is that possible do you think?

Good man, thank you for sharing your knowledge 😊👍 Subscribed, will be waiting for more episodes 😊

In which city/town was this property? Or if you don't want to share, would you be happy to share in which county the property was?

Great videos! If I invest in properties in multiple states, will I need an attorney/accountant/realtor for each state etc and will this make the investment less worthwhile?

Great video..

Best commercial property channel by far!!

Iv just come into roughly 80k my plan was to put that into commercial straight away but now youve said we need to at least have 1 BTL property for experience. thats nipped my plans in the bud😂, what ill have to do now then is break that down into 1-2 BTL re mortgage or sell then go from there i suppose🤔 am i on the right track?

Stephen do you still run SA now in 2024 ?

Really good information, what's the capital growth like in commercial property?

I only own commercial property

Looking at breaking into the us market from the uk as you have. What advice would have for starting out in the us with no history there?

Interesting video - I plan to move into commercial property in the not too distant future. In this market what interest rate are you paying for a A1 tenant? I’m finding the yields are pretty low for properties with really strong covenants. But I really need to get educated in this department

sounds good..what do you think renting your residential property to the council. cheers.

Great video, what’s the website you use to see who’s currently renting it and if it’s FRI?

Good information

thanks

Ola Stphen, are in interested in commercial properties in portugal? Seaside boomi g city Algarve?? Has a 15 yr lease with it

I am looking to buy first commercial and I could get a decent cashflow with my 150k but then Ill be left trying to save up again but then I could do another live in flip with 50k + loans and then have 80k left of investing in commercial but that doesn't go far. Should I go all in for cashflow and then save up again or should I do another live in flip?

Sounds good bro 🎉

Another excellent video Stephen 👌🏻

amazing video thanks

Hiya, whats the best way to purchase property in the US as a non-US citizen? As an individual or under a company name like here in the UK? And where would you start with in terms of lenders and securing financing?

Great video! What software are you using for the HMO map?

What about tax? Have you calculated that? You would have to pay tax now on the full amount of rent regardless mortgage payments, wouldn't you? Wouldn't you get into negative return? Thanks

.....btw, I'm talking generally and realise a more detailing number game will be needed. My question was for quick assessment purposes. Thanks again.

Stephen! thanks again for your continued teaching - you're very watchable. I just want to ask a question about qualifying a commercial to residential purchase...Is there a rule of thumb, or sum I can use for a quick assessment of something being a good deal....Say, is there a ratio I can use to show ideal difference between purchase price/per/sq/ft to end value price/per/sq/ft?...I'm asking because knowing the difference would tell me if it would cover rebuild costs and a profit...Many thanks!

Is this still true in 2024

Please lower the volume of the music I can barely hear 😢
