USALocations.com 2011 a review.

Well its been a long year 2011 the first year since 2003 that I have not flown over to the USA . I got myself a new Job and got a new tenant for my property in the USA. I have decided to rent out long term and go to break even. The bills for Air conditioning repairs and window repairs after a property break in were rather painful to say the least. It was quite a shock as I spent months researching the neighbourhood and chose a good one , with a low crime rate. The only thing you can not allow for are the tenants collection of so called friends and what happens when they upset them.. Anyway I am Glad to report that the current tenant is a model one and has been excellent. What doe's the future hold , well we have had 7 people sign up for Florida investments spoke to over 100 people face to face and given on average one property presentation a month. 2012 is almost here and I look forward to it although I have no plans to fly over to Florida within the next 6-9 months .I will be writing my book about my roadtips to Owendale MI and my adventures on all my trips. Plenty to keep me busy and lots to look forward to. SIGN UP NOW for our newsletter which is due out in Feb 2012. Sign up for our Property Search engine and search for your own investment property .

Why do UK companies sell more than you do?

excellent question.. Better Marketing , better publishing, better backed up. AIPP the organisation and industry voice is an excellent example of this. Their awards only get awarded to their own members, ie to be considered for any award you have to pay. I have many examples of Compare the markup and its weird how the best deal is promised and its very obvious and clear to see , that its not the investor that is being put first. In this day and age I think its a fact that people are very suspicious of every organisation. When I set out to get a better deal for all UK investors, I never expected to get the resistance that I have found. I will continue and intensify my promotion during 2012 and that will start by producing a calendar of events and sticking to it . So its time to get the drink ready and start the new year eves party and look forward to 2012.. Good luck to all and i wish you the very best for 2012.. USALocations.com

My Favourite USA roadtrip so far.

2008 I travelled the full length of the USA from Key west right up to my own name sake town of Owendale..
The photo above is me travelling from Key west to Orlando.. I did have an evening in Miami and stayed in south beach,  The tattoo shop was closed so I missed that experiance..but I did have a great evening talking to a few people who were originally from Manchester and now live in Miami. I had to ask "Do you miss Manchester?" to which they Just laughed at me. Anyway the roadtrip Miami to Key west and then Key west to Orlando was an experiance that was simply Fantastic. I stopped several times to take in the view and the almost 100 photos I took during my trip , shows how much I enjoyed the whole journey.
I hope to repeat the trip , whenever someone from the UK wants a piece of Luxury real estate I would love to assist and drive you to property viewing.
Well I am a fully licensed Realtor for Florida , so I can get the deal started right here in the UK
and to my knowledge there is no other REALTOR that is UK based. Although several people have passed the Florida state exam over the last 10 years.
Best wishes and regards
