Congratulations, you're one step closer to investing in the US! I've put together an short podcast series that will teach you almost everything you need to know about investing in the US. We have had many questions raised about investing in the US, so the education series has been designed with you in mind. You can listen to all the podcasts here, on iTunes, or your can download and watch the 18 videos in the series by jumping onto our website www.wheregroup.com.au where you can also find more information about the wHeregroup team, what we are we up to lately, and how we can help you to change your lifestyle for the better!

Looking to invest but can't afford to get a leg in the door of the Australian property market? Yield figures in Australia the past few years have been disappointing to say the least, so the choice is up to you - affordable properties with yields on offer of up to and over 20% in the US, it's a no brainer to us! In this episode Todd explains more about why we have moved away from Australian investments completely, where he started and how those properties are performing now. Our first US location - Detroit, is now in the midst of a boom and we have already moved onto two new cities that are proving to have great returns for our clients. If you want to learn more about how and why Todd chooses his US locations visit our website at www.wheregroup.com.au and download one of our ebooks today!

"We don't get out of bed for 5% yields." Get ready for Todd to blow your mind with real facts and figures about how his investments are performing, as they say 'the proof is in the pudding' and our accountant has even given their seal of approval to show this is no game - there is an absolute profit to be made in US properties! We want to help you to work towards building your own passive income for the future, in this episode you will learn a little more about the types of properties we invest in and what to expect in your tax returns. Todd will also go so far as to show you his own tax return, but you may find it easier to see these figures for yourself rather than hear it, to watch or download the US Education Video Series head to our website at www.wheregroup.com.au

Investing overseas can sound like a scary prospect to some, but when you join the wHeregroup team you know you have someone on the inside that has your best interests at heart! Todd has been buying properties in the US for years now and he's not afraid to put his money where his mouth is. Rules and regulations in the US can be confusing at times, especially when it comes to taxes and what is expected by each individual county, but Todd and the team have done all the research so you don't need to worry about the "what if?". In this episode Todd will explain why you need someone like wHeregroup to guide you through this process, we don't just help you find a property to buy, we provide details for attorneys, insurance providers, property managers and so much more! If you want to view the walk-through videos mentioned here, or view the results of properties bought for our clients, head on over to our website at www.wheregroup.com.au

Looks can be deceiving and this is why you need someone like Todd who has years of experience investing in both the US and Australia. Todd views all the properties he makes offers on, in person - and he will never make an offer for a client, on a property that he would not buy himself. In this episode Todd will take you on a tour through two properties that have hidden issues, he will share with you tips on what to look for when inspecting a property (or reviewing Build Reports) and what not to buy. Don't just take our word on it, view the properties for yourself on our website at www.wheregroup.com.au

We aren't just buying properties that look great for investors - we want properties that will last the distance and attract the right kind of tenants, quality over quantity is key with the wHeregroup team! With that said, Todd isn't afraid of a little hard work either. In this episode Todd talks about what to expect when buying a property in the US, they are nothing like what you will find here in Australia, as many are 100 years old and over. Some properties may need some work done; something a simple as a fresh coat of paint throughout, roof maintenance or even an upgrade on the kitchen, it can vary from home to home but it's not as daunting as you may think - the cost of labour, materials and appliances in the US are cheap as chips!

We have a change of pace in this episode, one of our American friends is here to list some options when it comes to financing you US investment dream!

Delve a little deeper into the mind of Todd and the strategy he uses to find areas that are on the rise.. With years of experience in the industry and an impressive personal portfolio of his own, it's clear that Todd has a knack for finding locations that are on the brink of a boom. In this episode he will reveal to you the two main things he looks for in a potential area to invest (other than great prices!). These decisions aren't made lightly either, he takes time to do his research, meet the locals and understand not just the past and present trends in the area, but it's potential for the future. Time is key here though, you want to get in before the gentrification hits - so don't just sit there wondering what if, give us a call or visit our website for more info at www.wheregroup.com.au  

This is a question we hear from our Aussie buyers quite a bit and in this episode Todd will give you a bit of insight into what it's like to invest in America, as a US citizen.. So you thought investing here at home was tough? Being an American trying to find finance to buy in America is even tougher! As an "alien" (non-US citizen) buying property in the US with cash, it's a breeze - but our friends in the states have many a hurdle to jump before they even get close. Todd will try to explain the convoluted credit algorithm that US citizens have to deal with in order to purchase a property but to put it simply, after the Global Financial Crash, almost everyone in the US saw their credit scores crash along with it, and what goes down can only come back up at a pace that even a snail would find sluggish. Bad news for them, great news for us. Want to find out more? Come on over to our website at www.wheregroup.com.au

Now that's the million dollar question that everyone wants to know! We've already noticed our local competitors snap this information up and use it for their own gains and who can blame them? For obvious reasons we won't be giving any specifics away on the locations we are working on at the moment but what we will say is we like to get in before the market gets hot. In this episode Todd wil give you his hot tip on how to spot an area on the rise but if you want a more detailed explanation on why he started in our first US location - Detroit, and how he finds these golden opportunities, check out our website or purchase an ebook at www.wheregroup.com.au
