New investors, no matter where they’re starting out, have a massive learning curve if they want to be successful.

While money is clearly one of the biggest barriers (and motivations) to getting started on the property ladder, there are a lot of misconceptions about it.

- Do you need a lot of money to get started?

- When should we spend on repairs and when should you cut corners?

- Is it too late to purchase a great deal as the market is so healthy?

The above are just some of the popular myths we tackle in this special podcast. Enjoy!

I have personal experience of buying US property from overseas locations and I know how difficult it can be to find people on the ground to look after your best interests. This podcast describes what extra help and services you will need if you are considering a property purchase from out of state or overseas. Surprising at it may seem, most locally based sellers are simply not tuned into the specific needs of potential buyers located thousands of miles away. They find it difficult to educate them on the market or inform them of what they need to be aware of as a non-US resident. They find it difficult to cultivate business relationships with people they rarely (and sometimes never) get to meet in person. At Torcana our specialty has always been catering to the requirements of out-of-state and overseas buyers keen to purchase turnkey rental properties. Tune into Podcast 10 to find out how we do it.
