Ivan - There might be oil under that land ;)

Auntie has had a look for us, and it is subject to survey. But at that price, who really needs to see it personally? The land is probably worth that, if it fell down (And is brick built, so should be hurricane safe) .lol

..... and I had a bloody good look at Black Rock before I bought in, but what good did that do me?

[futhark] 30/9/2008 21:10

Will I need a passport?

Ivan are you buying without viewing? Tut, Tut,

[ivanburgess] 30/9/2008 19:41

Tricky . Isn't there a song about that somewhere?

"I drove my chevvy in the levy, but the levy weren't dry" ???


... Should have been sung by Katrina and the Waves, maybe?

Ivan, many thanks. Been to good old US of A many times but never Florida. Anybody got any recomendations for nice areas or areas to avoid?

Tricky very funny!

Cheers Edds

I just found a very nice house in New Orleans. Huge Pool with ships in it.

Best way to do it, is type in the name of a city, then the abbreviation for the state in the search box. (ie Daytona Beach, Fl). Then you can adjust the scope to suit your preferences.

Correction, it's just arrived....

[maxk] 30/9/2008 18:47

Not so far Ivan, are you still here?

[ivanburgess] 30/9/2008 18:46

Max. 3rd time lucky?

[futhark] 30/9/2008 17:44

Damn I clicked on to the link for the kennel club.

[ivanburgess] 30/9/2008 17:16

Sorry eddsy. I forgot.

I might as well stick a link here for anyone to get some idea of the property to be had. Do your own deals, and don't be afraid to go in low. Some will take it, some won't.

www.realtor.com

just navigate to whichever state/county, etc appeals to you.

Attn Ivan Burgess

Ivan I read with interest your comments on US property. Would you be kind enough to email the link onto me? Been holder of Black Crock for a couple of years now and maybe its the only way to recover some lost funds!!! Any assistance would be appreciated.

[ivanburgess] 30/9/2008 16:57

Hey, don't send her anywhere near me, Fut. I've got my own to worry about. lol

[ivanburgess] 30/9/2008 16:27

Max. Have re-sent it. Hope the address is still current.

[eddsy] 30/9/2008 15:19

Ivan I read with interest your comments on US property. Would you be kind enough to forward the link onto me? Been holder of Black Crock for a couple of years now and maybe its the only way to recover some lost funds!!! Any assistance would be appreciated.

[maxk] 30/9/2008 14:35

No I aint Ivan, can you resend as it looks like it's gone the way of the banks..

[ivanburgess] 30/9/2008 14:12

You have mail, Max

[maxk] 30/9/2008 14:02

Cheers Ivan.

[maxk] 30/9/2008 13:52

Got any links Ivan?

Mornin all.

Have a look at property in the USA. Some hellova bargains available. all these foreclosures mean that the financial institutions are saddled with properties for which there are no buyers, (as peeps can't get mortgages to buy them). Hence their liquidity has been strangled, and they are desperate to get shot. Put in a silly offer, and stress its cash, and you'll be surprised how little they will take for some of them. If the individual property doesn't owe them too much, you'll get a lovely holiday home in Florida for 5 Black Rock shares. Rent it out, and you'll find the rental market has got better, as peeps can't buy, so they have to rent, along with all the dispossessed ex-home-owners.

If you've spent your life being shafted by the institutions, time to get some back, and shaft them rotten in return. He He He. Its a unique opportunity in my opinion, and I've gone for it. 2 potential returns ... rental income until the market improves, then double your investment when peeps start buying again.

Just picked up a lovely 3 bed, 2 bathroom bungalow in Florida, for $50k (£25k) which would usually cost $180,000 in the US, or an equivalent home here in the UK of about £300,000. Rental income will go for $1250 per month at the moment.

Have a look. Could be a better outlook than shares whilst turmoil exists.
