Global Investments have teamed up with one of the largest Developers in Ohio and will delivering fully refurbished single family homes in A + B neighbourhoods. We have been working hard, we have also teamed up with one of largest Mortgage Agencies in the US to be able to provide mortgages for these incredible properties. To qualify for the mortgage you only need to put down a 30% cash deposit if your are an Overseas Investor and only a 20% deposit if you are Domestic Investor, therefore the remaining 70% can be financed over the long term. The 30% down payment will generate you on average a 20% return after paying back your mortgage and other running costs, this figure is even higher if you are a Domestic Buyer. On average your deposit will be under $40,000 including all other fees and administration costs, I think its safe to say this is one of the most exciting products to enter the property market over the last few years. Where else in the US can you buy a fully refurbished three bedroom property in A +B neighbours generating on average $1,300 rent per month and putting down less that $40,000 ? I dont think you will find anywhere else. For those of you who dont know Canton it is a terrific City, Canton is the eight largest city in Ohio and is the largest municipality in the Canton–Massillon metropolitan area, which includes all of Stark and Carroll counties, and is home to 401,574 residents. Canton has an estimated 97% housing occupancy rate. Canton is chiefly notable for being home to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, it’s where the game American Football originated and it also has a bustling economy. One household name we all know “Hoover” started in Canton and its also home to The Timken Company and the Mckinley National Memorial Park. The City of Canton provides its residents with many benefits of big-city living while maintaining its charm as a medium-sized Midwestern town, that’s why investors are finding it so attractive, the cost of real estate is less than half the national average and demand for rentals is very high. Canton, OH is seen as a seller’s market in November 2023, which means that there are more people looking to buy than there are homes available, that is why we think this is one of the best products you can buy, from the minute you buy the property demand is outstripping supply. In November 2023, the median listing home price in Canton, OH was $149.9K, trending up 7.1% year-over-year. The median listing home price per square foot was $103. The median home sold price was $167K. We have managed to secure the majority of our properties for under $100,000 which means you also see instant equity from the minute you buy the property. I know its a lot to take in but lets summarise, our new Canton properties come fully refurbished, generate on average $1,300 per month, are under market value, are in A + B neighbourhoods and you only have to put less than $40,000 down, Wow.

The US Housing Market & 6 month Review

We are getting to close to reaching half way through 2022 so now is a good time to review what happened in the first six months. We have previously written articles on growth in the US housing market in 2020 and 2021 but how about 2022 ? are we starting to see a slow down or is the growth still continuing ? Looking at recent articles on this years trends prices are not just increasing they have been surging in some States, some are quoting explosive growth. I think this might come as a surprise to some people as we have seen interest rates rise, very low inventory over the last 12 months and year on year price increases. The issue still seems to be the gap between supply and demand, the same trend continuing since 2021, many experts are predicting the prices will still continue to rise for the remainder of this year. Fannie Mae (Government sponsored body) predicts prices will move up in 2022 by 10.8%. Freddie Mac stated the US market lacks around 4 million homes to meet the country’s needs, the shortage is a result of a decade of insufficient homebuilders available for new home construction. Both the labor shortage and supply crisis are keeping construction from bouncing back. Key materials like lumber are more expensive after the pandemic and have cut into profit margins for builders, a shortage of available workers has also cramped housing projects as firms have struggled to rehire. With both trends putting pressure on builders, buyers will be stuck bidding on a small supply of homes for the next several months. While all of this seems bad for the Buyers its good news for the Sellers, homeowners are seeing more equity gains this year as compared to previous years, some U.S. Sellers achieved $60,000 in equity, according to a recent CoreLogic report. But the this level of growth could not be sustained in the long run, according to Reuters house price inflation will drop to 10%, half its current rate this year, and slow further over the next two years. Since the pandemic started we have seen nearly zero borrowing costs and a panic by Buyers to buy more properties, properties on average have risen by one-third from the beginning of the pandemic. The Federal Reserve have raised interest rates since March with more raises expected this year.The Federal Reserve raised its key interest rate by a cumulative 75 basis points since March, with more expected this year and next, pushing up the key 30-year fixed mortgage rate above 5% in April, its highest in more than a decade. The rise in home prices has been staggering, and we do expect a significant slowdown going forward, particularly in the wake of a near-doubling of mortgage rates,” said Brad Hunter, head of consultancy Hunter Housing Economics. Around 80 percent of the typical homes listed have seen the cost of financing increase by 50 percent compared to a year ago from a combination of the all-time high listing prices and higher interest rates according to Realtor.com While housing prices aren’t expected to drop this year, the increasing rise of prices should slow down. Many experts believe home values will increase at roughly half the rate (single-digit increases) we saw during the peak of 2021. The current median sale price of houses sold in the US in the first quarter of 2022 was $428,700 according to the St Louis Federal Reserve. Most economists though agree that the pace of rising prices can’t continue and will at worst level off or rise more slowly. So if prices are not forecasted to decline in 2023 but increase at a slower place what does that mean for investors. According to Fannie Mae year-on-year home inflation will drop to 4.4% in the second quarter of 2023 and end the year at 2.9%. So if If Fannie Mae’s predictions are correct, homebuyers are in for a mixed experience. It will looks like it wil be easier to find a home in the next two years but being able to afford it will be a different matter.

Cleveland Clinic Cleveland Clinic announces $1.3 billion in projects, including new Neurological Institute on its main campus in Cleveland

Located in Cleveland, Ohio, Cleveland Clinic is a nonprofit, multi-specialty academic medical centre that integrates clinical and hospital care with research and education. The Cleveland Clinic announced on Friday that it will invest $1.3 billion in capital projects including new buildings and renovation of facilities in Ohio, Florida, and London. To help make way for one of the biggest projects, a new, 1-million-square-foot Neurological Institute between East 86th Street and East 90th Street on its main campus in Cleveland, the Clinic said it would demolish the historic Cleveland Play House complex at East 85th Street and Euclid Avenue. The Play House includes the theatre’s original 1926 building and a 1983 expansion designed by architect Philip Johnson, a Cleveland native who became one of America’s most important 20th-century architects. The Clinic acquired the Play House property in 2009 when the theatre company moved to Playhouse Square in downtown Cleveland. In the Clinic’s announcement, CEO and President Tom Mihaljevic said that “our services have never been in greater demand.’’ He said the new construction projects “reflect the needs of our organisation and will ensure cutting-edge care for the next generation of patients. By building, partnering, and innovating with technology, we are preparing current and future caregivers to deliver the best care.” The Clinic released a rendering of the Neurological Institute building, which will be designed by London-based Michael Hopkins Architects and Cleveland-based Stantec. On the main campus, in addition to the Neurological Institute building, Clinic plans to expand its Cole Eye Institute building and expand research facilities through its commitment to the Cleveland Innovation District. The district is a joint project of the Clinic, MetroHealth System, University Hospitals, Case Western Reserve University, and Cleveland State University to collaborate on research and job creation. The State of Ohio and JobsOhio invested $200 million in the project, and the Clinic invested $300 million. The new projects announced by the Clinic will be funded in large part by philanthropy, and will add more than 2,000 indirect and 7,500 direct jobs, the institution said. The Clinic’s news release stated that the Neurological Institute will provide inpatient and outpatient care, along with imaging and surgical services and research laboratories. The building’s mission will include investigating the function of the human brain and developing new neurological treatments. Neurological services are currently located at several locations on the main Clinic campus, which stretches across 165 acres between the Midtown neighbourhood and University Circle. The new facility is intended to bring neurological caregivers and services together in a single place to facilitate collaboration. The design and planning of the project are supported by a $10 million donation from the Charles L. Shor Foundation, the Clinic said. In honour of the gift, the Clinic is naming its epilepsy centre The Charles Shor Epilepsy Centre. Work on the project will begin this year with the first patient expected to be seen in 2026. The Cole Eye Institute at the Cleveland Clinic, a Cesar Pelli building, will soon be expanded. The area to be cleared by the demolition of the Play House complex “will initially be used to support the building of the new neurological building where all equipment and vehicles will be contained on Cleveland Clinic property during construction,’’ the news release said. “This will ensure that local residents have uninterrupted access to parking in their neighbourhood during this time.” Architect Philip Johnson brought together old and new elements in his 1983 design of the Cleveland Play House complex at 8500 Euclid Ave. The Clinic said in its news release that potential long-term plans for the Play House site could include “a new mixed-use neighbourhood development project.” Further east on the main campus, at Euclid Avenue, between E. 100th and E. 105th streets, the Clinic plans to add 150,000 square feet to its Cole Eye Institute building, plus additional renovations. The project will add additional operating rooms and procedure rooms. Donors Jeffrey A. Cole and his wife Patricia O’Brien Cole have made a $31 million commitment for the expanded clinical and surgical capabilities at the Cole Institute, and to enhance research and education there. The expansion will be named the Jeffrey and Patricia Cole Building, the Clinic said. An additional $10 million grant from the Timken Foundation of Canton helped support the planning for the Cole expansion and established The Louise Timken Ophthalmic Education Center, the Clinic said. A groundbreaking ceremony for the project will be held on Friday, May 20, and the completion of the institute’s expansion is expected at the end of 2025. The Clinic called the project the largest research effort in its history. Its goals include positioning “Northeast Ohio at the forefront of pathogen research and preparing for the next pandemic.”

We have several offerings and more to come in 2021. UK Property Investment – Stable market and Legal System The UK property market has attracted global investors for many years – and with good reason. Unlike more volatile economies and fluctuating property markets, the UK is a reliable market for any investor looking to achieve steady, low-risk growth year on year. House prices in the Britain have continued to appreciate steadily over the last 20 years, with very few peaks and troughs. In fact, UK house prices have almost tripled over the past two decades. According to the World Bank, the UK ranks among the top ten countries with the best legislation in place to protect investors, making it one of the most stable and secure markets to invest in. Student property Investment Since 2011, the UK Student property sector has been the UK’s number one performing asset class. Properties offer a long-term and concrete income stream which allows investors to capitalise on a passive income. At Global Investments Incorporated we have a proven track record in the student market. Our investors typically purchase one or more studio suites which are leased back to a well-established management company for a fixed period. With prices from £75,000 and assured returns up to 9%, you can make your money work harder for you with a student property investment. In Sheffield and Liverpool, we have several Student Property Investments: Prices from £75,000 Returns between 7.5% and 9% Investing in Low Cost Freehold properties Investing in low cost freehold properties guarantee two key things: High rental yields High returns on investment These properties are great for cash flow, making them hugely beneficial for investors looking to build a diverse portfolio with a mix of assets.

Prices from £49,950 Returns between 7% – 9% Liverpool – future growth and demand in the property market (other locations as well) Regional UK cities such as Liverpool are currently flourishing, making them prime targets for overseas investors. With London prices rapidly increasing over the last decade, recent years have seen investors looking outside of the Capital for more affordable alternatives. Home of the Beatles and two Premier League football clubs, Liverpool is popular as a buy to let investment city. Property prices in Liverpool are significantly lower than those in many other UK areas. At Global Investments, we are making it easy for investors to take advantage of the opportunity in UK cities, generating healthy returns with no hassle. Off plan and new build property available from £85,000 Returns from 6% – 8% Manchester – future growth and demand in the property market (other locations as well) The latest index from Zoopla shows house prices have risen by 2.6% between September 2019 and September 2020.

We continue to offer Manchester properties as part of our portfolio of investment opportunities to satisfy the appetite of our investors. At Global Investments, we are making it easy for investors to take advantage of the opportunity in UK cities, generating healthy returns with no hassle. Off plan and new build property available from £120,000 Returns from 7 – 8% Chatham (London commuter belt) Between sky-high property prices and the COVID-spawned desire for more space both inside and out, central London has little to offer buy-to-let investors in 2021. Despite this, the Emerging Trends in Real Estate report from Price Waterhouse Coopers and the Urban Land Institute has flagged up London as the second-best city for property investment in Europe. Telegraph Money and Aldermore, meanwhile, have named it the third best location for property investment in the UK. In 2021, that investment will be all about the commuter belt. Locations like Chatham, with significant local regeneration, swift train journeys into central London and a rapidly growing population, will be the big winners over the coming years.

GLOBAL INVESTMENTS LAUNCH NEW RESIDENTIAL AND STUDENT UK INVESTMENTS DUE TO HUGE DEMAND FROM THE OVERSEAS MARKET

Global Investments Incorporated have been the market leader for the last 8 years in the USA buy to let market and this month they will be launching their own UK Buy to Let products starting with some excellent student accommodation in Sheffield. With prices starting from around £80,000 and net returns as high as 10% the Manchester based firm is excited about their first venture into the UK market. There are many reasons why Overseas Investors are looking at the UK now with many student and residential properties being offered for as little as 50k sterling with steady and assured net returns from large Developers. Also with the pound expected to take a hit over the coming months due to the UKs final exit from the European Union this would mean that the overseas buyer will get more “ Bang for their Buck “ as they say, making this a great time to capitalise on a growing market with some great investment opportunities available. There are many reasons why Overseas Investors are looking at the UK as a potential market to invest in. Whether planning for retirement or opening a second income, investing into property in parts of the UK offers fantastic returns with huge potential for growth at the same time. The last 10 years has seen many people’s life savings stagnate, with record low interest rates being offered by banks. With house prices substantially lower in certain parts of the UK like Sheffield and parts of the North of England this market is accessible for many people who view property as a way to increase their wealth and give an excellent residual income. The company are speaking to some of the leading suppliers of these types of residential and student buy to let houses which will make this market accessible for many of their Investors that have already invested in the US and are now looking at acquiring a tangible asset here in the UK. See some details on the 2 areas that the Manchester based firm will be launching in the coming months. Sheffield – With house prices in Sheffield still at the lower end of the scale compared to most UK cities, this could prove a great location for the first time investor. Property prices have grown by 19.5% since 2014 and an incredible 223% over then last 20 years with huge growth still expected in 2020 and onwards. However its the rental yields that form the biggest attraction. Currently sitting on 7.3% as an average. With a £480 Million Revamp of the cities shopping district vastly improving its amenities, Sheffield’s attraction is only set to continue to grow with tenants, investors, students and visitors alike. Cardiff – The Welsh Capital is certainly one to watch in the coming year. It is one of the fastest growing cities in the UK, recent regeneration and improvements to infrastructure, namely the new South Wales Metro, have improved connectivity and boosted sector and jobs growth in the city. Average rental yields in many parts of the city are between 6-8% and with its population tipped to grow the fastest of most UK cities over the next 20 years, demand looks set to continue to sore. Cardiff should be on any investors hot list for 2020. We asked CEO Mike Moodie why after eight years in the US have they decided to enter the UK and why start with the North of England. Mike added. “ Well this was a very easy decision. Firstly our sales and marketing operation is based here in the UK so we are here on the ground. Yes the US is still an incredibly strong market for us but we have many of our overseas investors telling us that they want to invest in the UK and can we assist them as they want to do business with the company that they already know and trust. Also the fact that the exchange rates will give our buyers outside of the UK more value at this time means it’s a great time for us to start. We have signed up exclusive agreements with some of the top suppliers of residential and student let companies so we will have some of the best products in the market today to offer our investors. Just like we do in the USA. We will also offer the same service as we do in the US meaning that we will have full on the ground management and after sales meaning these investments will be as hands off as possible for our clients. “ “ We are excited about this new venture and believe this will offer our existing investors and new investors a very safe and secure way of entering the UK market at very reasonable prices. “ – Mike Moodie – CEO Global Investments Incorporated.

GLOBAL ARE COMING TO KANSAS

Global Investments Incorporated are always on the look out for new markets in the USA to supplement the opportunities that we provide our investor base. Currently our two major markets are Cleveland Ohio followed by Baltimore in Maryland however a new city has come across our radar… “ Kansas City Missouri “ We have spent the last few months doing our homework on the city and sourcing a good supply of inventory, good management and also reliable title companies. In the next few weeks we will be launching in Kansas providing turn key opportunities that will rival both Cleveland and Baltimore both in terms of prices and net returns. So why Kansas ? Kansas City is the largest city in the State of Missouri and the sixth largest city in the Midwest. Kansas City is widely known for sports, music (especially jazz and blues), and is also often called the “City of Fountains” with over 200 beautiful water features throughout the city. After years of neglect, Downtown Kansas City began a massive revitalization effort. Since the year 2000, the city has invested over $6 billion to redevelop the downtown area with new condominiums, apartments, offices, restaurants, indoor and outdoor shopping malls, and entertainment venues. In 2014, the regional Kansas City business community came together to launch KC Rising, which is a long-term vision for the greater Kansas City region to accelerate the Kansas City region’s economic growth. With many businesses headquartered in Kansas City, there’s a strong and skilled workforce. With affordable housing, it’s a great city to raise a family. Sprint, Cerner, H&R Block, Hallmark, DST Systems, American Century, and Garmin all call Kansas City home. With headquarters located throughout the metro, these national companies attract talent from across the country. So it’s no wonder Kansas City earned a top 50 spot in a U.S. News and World Report of the top places to live in the country. The rankings are based on the quality of life and the job market. Economic growth has been led by healthcare, finance, insurance, automotive, manufacturing and IT. Kansas City is also one of a major distribution center because of its central location within the U.S. It is the top city for rail freight volume and the 2nd largest rail center, only behind Chicago. Kansas City has actually been recognized as one of the nation’s top emerging technological and entrepreneurial hubs. The economy of Kansas City is one of the top performing in the United States. In fact, Kansas City recorded a job growth of 3.95% in 2017. This is about 2.36% higher than the national average. Kansas investment properties offer a great opportunity for many reasons, but one of the biggest reasons is the increasing rental rates. Rental rates in the Kansas City real estate market have increased more than the national average since 2012. The population in Kansas is growing which is a good sign for a strong economy; a strong economy can support a booming housing market. Since 2010, the Kansas City population has gone up 6 percent versus the national 5 percent. Appreciation rates in Kansas over the last 5 years have ranged from 3.2% to 8.1% and property prices are expected to continue its upward trend at a modest pace for the foreseeable future. Rents are also expected to keep pace with price growth, thereby maintaining a favorable one percent rent-to-value ratio. Kansas City is consistently ranked as one of the nation’s best markets for real estate investors. Lots of factors are responsible for this, the diverse employment opportunities and low cost of living that attract people to the city, as well as home prices that appeal to budget-conscious investors. We are looking forward to launching Kansas City which we believe will be one of the best investments markets in 2019. Keep an eye on our website as our new properties are just about to be released.

GLOBAL LAUNCH THEIR NEW UK NORTH EAST BUY TO LET PRODUCT

Global Investments Incorporated have been the market leader for the last six years in the USA buy to let market and this month they will be launching their own UK buy to let products starting with residential refurbished tenanted properties in the North east of England. With prices starting from as little as £39,900 and net returns as high as 12% the Manchester based firm is excited about there first venture into the UK market. There are many reasons why Overseas Investors are looking at the North of England for their UK portfolios: Whether planning for retirement or opening a second income, investing into property in the North East offers fantastic returns. The last 10 years has seen many people’s life savings stagnate, with record low interest rates being offered by banks. With house prices substantially lower in the North East, this market is accessible for many people who view property as a way to increase their wealth and acquire a tangible asset. Property Prices are Affordable We are able to source off the market deals – with freeholds available on 2/3 bedroom refurbished houses for as little as £39,900 Avoid stamp duty costs by purchasing property below the £40,000 threshold. You have the opportunity to purchase multiple properties with a modest budget – mitigating the risks associated with owning just one investment. Easy exit strategy when the time comes. High Yields and Return on Investment Net yields in excess of 9% are common. Although the house prices are significantly below the U.K average, rental prices are comparatively high, meaning strong positive cash flows from modest budgets. Demand for affordable housing in these areas is strong. Redevelopment and Growth Annual figures from September 2016 – August 2017 show that the North East outperformed London in terms of growth. House prices rose 4.4% in the past 12 months, a very healthy appreciation. The industrial heritage has been maintained and many large scale infrastructure developments are under way or in planning. Fully Hands Off All of the companies UK properties would come with full management in place. Purchasing a fully refurbished property is a safe way to reduce long term maintenance costs whilst also making your property more attractive to tenants. We asked CEO Mike Moodie why after six years in the US have they decided to enter the UK and why start with the North of England. Mike added. “ Well this was a very easy decision. Firstly our sales and marketing operation is based here in the UK so we are here on the ground. Yes the US is still an incredibly strong market for us but we have many of our overseas investors telling us that they want to invest in the UK and can we assist them as they want to do business with the company that they already know and trust. We have signed up an exclusive agreement with one of the North Easts leading buy to let suppliers and they will provide fully turn key opportunities with local management in place. Just like we do in the USA. We chose the North East as in my opinion it offers the best value in the whole of the UK and with higher than average returns and a very low entry level which is exactly what our buyers are looking for. Also I am originally from Newcastle so this made the decision to start in the North even easier. “ “ We are excited about this new venture and believe this will offer our existing investors and new investors a very safe and secure way of entering the UK market at very reasonable prices. “ – Mike Moodie – CEO Global Investments Incorporated.

In the past 6 months our business in Dubai has surged with sales from the region taking up 20% of the companies total income. The US economic recovery attracted the attention of many investors who were traditionally more accustomed to London and the rest of Europe. Middle Eastern investors have contributed to a surge in overseas US Investments over the last few years. The US marketplace meets Middle Eastern investor needs for regional diversification, it also offers the opportunity for higher than normal returns. 17- 22% on average.
