2016 has been an incredible year for our company with a huge increase in sales and demand for our Detroit Investments with sales rising from 412 sales in 2016 to 583 in 2017. I feel that the major contribution to this increase has been a huge improvement in our product and also diversifying our suppliers in the city giving our buyers the best choice available at any one time. The other major factor has been the introduction of a lot of Section 8 housing which our investors feel are a lot more of a hands off investment with rents coming direct from the State. 2016 has also seen us introduce our new Ohio product which has been hugely popular and successful. 90% of the homes that we have been selling in Toledo are Section 8 and fully refurbished giving fantastic returns. The team that we have on the ground this year have done an exceptional job sourcing the homes and also making sure our investors returns are consistent with fantastic on the ground management. Toledo has accounted for almost 20% of the company sales this year and we expect this to rise again in 2017. We have also done very well with our Up State NY product which we expect this to come on strong in 2017 with some positive news coming out of the city in the past few months. Late 2016 we have also introduced a new Florida product that again we feel will have a very strong impact in 2017 and will rival any Florida investment product out there at the moment with prices starting from $39,000 and returns unto 17%. Our market places in 2016 have been similar to the last few years with a few additions. Our main markets in 2016 have been the UK which has been as strong as ever, Australia, Malaysia, enquiries from France have also increased dramatically this year but the major player in 2016 has been the Middle Eastern market with huge demand from areas like Dubai, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. We feel that the trend will pass over into the new year. We have already held our first show in Dubai in 2016 and plan on visiting again in January and April with a new office and also staff on the ground. In 2016 we also began holding private exhibitions here in the UK with shows in Manchester, London and Newcastle and will be making this a regular theme in 2017 with at least one exhibition every 2 months in different UK and Irish cities. I feel that 2017 will be the companies biggest year so far since its incorporation in 2013 and look forward to bringing on new products, opening new offices and meeting our investors in the UK and around the Globe. As always we will strive to bring the very best of the “ USA buy to let Market “ to our investors with great on the ground management and an unrivalled after sales service. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our clients and there families a very happy Christmas and a fulfilling and prosperous 2017 and I look forward to speaking or meeting with you soon. Yours Faithfully Mike Moodie

According to the latest press release from Realty Today, Saint Louis has been named as the second hottest investment city in the US for 2016. St. Louis is a large city in Missouri, located in the east central part of the state on the Mississippi River. Saint Louis offers investors an incredible opportunity to buy undervalued properties in a very strong rental market. Jonathan Smoke, the chief economist for Realtor.com states “Next year looks to be the best year St. Louis has had in quite some time, we’ve been seeing strong demand in St. Louis, and if anything, it’s starting to heat up even more.” Realtor.com predicts that single-family home sales in the St. Louis area will increase by 8.6 percent compared to 2015 — with median home sale prices up 10 percent. Manufacturing is important to the city’s economy, and its highly developed industries include automobiles, aircraft and space technology, metal fabrication, beer, steelmaking, chemicals, food processing, and storage and distribution. The city is home to several major corporations including Express Scripts, Peabody Energy, Ameren, Ralcorp, and Sigma-Aldrich, as well as a large medical and research community. St. Louis has three professional sports teams: the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball, the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League, and the St. Louis Rams of the National Football League. St. Louis has a population of 319,294, making it the 60th-most populous U.S. city and the second-largest city in the state in terms of city proper population. The St. Louis metropolitan area includes the city as well as nearby areas in Missouri and Illinois; with a population of 2,913,673, it is the largest in Missouri and one of the largest in the United States St Louis Rental Vacancies remain at historically low levels and has one of the lowest rates in the whole of the US. A study recently released by the Urban Institute, revealed that “there is literally no affordable, non-subsidized housing available in St. Louis, St Louis rents have risen 18% since the real estate bubble burst”. Global Investments has teamed up with one of the largest acquisition companies in the US, they are the dominant supplier of refurbished properties in Saint Louis and also have offices in Indianapolis and California. Every property we sell in Saint Louis comes fully refurbished and also comes with six months guaranteed rent. St Louis may not be as well-known as Detroit or Chicago but that is going to change in 2016.

Global Investments have been leading the way in USA property sales for more than 2 years now selling more than 1000 properties in the last few years. The demand for these investments has been increasing in the first quarter of this year with sales rocketing in markets like Detroit, Ohio, and more so in Rochester due to the huge regeneration in the city and the new Marina project. This month Global has surpassed their best sales month with still 8 days left in the month. Mike Moody then CEO was quoted in saying. “ Sales this month has surpassed everyones expectations with more than  30 sales already we have surpassed our best month which was 6 months ago and we still have more than a week to go, to be honest the biggest issue we have now is getting good stock so I am flying out to the states later today to meet with the brokers in NY and Detroit which are our 2 most demanded areas, to see what we can do about getting more stock as I know it is out there, we have had one client this month snap up 10 in Rochester alone.” “ Global Investments gives a first class service to there clients and an amazing after sales 24/7, we hold your hand through the whole process which can be a daunting experience for any first time investor, which of course we understand. “ “ If you are thinking of investing in the USA contact us and see for your self what we can offer. You will not be disappointed. Our biggest business is repeat and referral business which tells a story in its self.”

Over the next week Global Investments Incorporated will launch a brand new type of Investment in Detroit. CEO Mike Moody was quoted in saying. “ Even though we are doing so well with the single family home Investments in Detroit we are always looking for new avenues for our investors. So myself, the MD and our broker have had several meetings with some of the banks and our Asset management companies in the USA, both in Detroit and NY, however we will be launching this idea initially in Detroit. “ Global Investments Incorporated have currently a track record in the US, mainly Detroit of over 1000 sales, and many happy customers from all over the Globe. They pride themselves in the product, communication and service they bring to there clients, making sure there is no question unanswered before a client decides to buy. Giving a hands on approach which is unrivalled in the industry. Mike was then asked how they came up with the idea. Mike said. “ Basically after speaking with our broker in Detroit he asked me why we had not got into the lower end of the market, homes selling for between $5,000 and $10,000, as a lot of Americans and Canadians had been buying these in bulk. Spending money with a builder and then selling them on the open market at much more money, making sometimes as much as 35% on there money over a 3 month period.” So Global will embark on there new venture over the next week or so once all the paperwork is signed off. Mike finished of by saying. “ This is an exciting time for Detroit and Global Investments and there are many different ways investors can make money now,  in the short term or with the long term buy to lets that have gone so well over the past few years.

It is now 12 months since I came across Global Investments and I am so glad I did.  I was introduced to Global Investments by my brother who actually at the time lived in Kentucky.  Morris my brother, has been investing in the US housing market for over five years now so knows and has experienced everything first hand. Morris has always advised me to purchase in Atlanta as  that is where the majority of his properties are located and to date everything has gone well for him. I liked Atlanta but did not feel the attraction came naturally, my husband and I always had a soft spot for Chicago and we both thought there could be huge opportunities available if we just had the right contact. After looking around online I came across Global Investments Incorporated, they were advertising properties in Chicago as well as other States and seemed to offer the full package. I called Morris who was still in the US at this time and he said he never heard of them but they are a registered US company and seems to have good ties in the industry. When my husband got in from work we decided to give them a call, I  put them on speak phone so we could both absorb the conversation. We spoke with a gentleman called Scott Neve, who I have to say was very relaxed and was in no rush to make a sale, in fact he did not mention the sales process at all, he just spoke about the Chicago housing market and asked if we would like to see some brochures and to think about it for a while. That is exactly what we did, over the coming weeks we received brochures every week and we felt that the picture of Chicago was starting to build in our heads. We started to become realistic and realised that certain areas were way out of our budget and other areas you needed to be careful. After another call with Scott we came to the conclusion that maybe a foreclosed property would be the best option for us. With a foreclosed property you have the opportunity to get a real bargain but as Scott advised the paperwork and process can be long and cumbersome, plus there is a chance of a counter offer down the road. A this stage we were passed to a gentleman called John O’ Donoghue who would be my main point of contact through this supposedly long process. John was incredibly helpful and again reiterated what Scott said, we can put an offer in and play the game, if all goes well I would get my dream investment property. It took around another two weeks before we decided on the right house, the property John proposed was on the Westside of Chicago and only a twenty minute commute to Downtown. It was a four bedroom house with the option of two further bedrooms in the basement. The property was listed for $50,000 with the bank and John recommend we allow $10,000 for work, the amazing thing was this house was sold in 2005 for $215,000, my husband could not believe this and was dubious if we would get it. So we started our journey and started filling out the paperwork, there was a lot, our first offer was submitted  and within a few days we were contacted to say we had to do it all over again. My fault  the bank said my signature kept changing through the contract and they all must look the same, to this date I still do not have just the one signature. So our offer was submitted and we waited and waited, with was round five weeks before we heard anything back and what we heard was not what we wanted, they had counter at $60,000, $10,000 more than we originally wanted. One thing I love about Global Investments is their ease at handing out their mobile numbers, there are not many companies that so this. In fact I have John on my speed dial so I gave him a call straight away. John was great and he calmed me down straight away, he explained to me it can happened but lets stay strong and stick with our original offer, it was a risk as we could loose the house but he recommended it was the best course of action. The plan worked, just two days later our offer was accepted, we had done it, well John had really done it. Both my husband and myself were over the moon, we already had the survey carried out and we knew once the $10,000 was spent on the work we would have an incredible investment. After this stage things went very quickly, we completed on the house and were put in touch with a local building contractor who carried out the work. Again I was fascinated by how easily Global handed out contact details, not only were we in contact with John but the building contractor would email me regularly. Jay was his name and I have to say he did a fantastic job, not only was his work first class but he did it a great price and threw in extra jobs for free. I remember one day when the water was turned on we had a flood in the basement, Jay called me after the event to tell me that everything was sorted and the issue was resolved, he never charged for this which I think is exceptional. Once the house was made rental ready we were handed over to a great management company, John had explained that the management companies are very fussy but they do get good rents. They only liked to show houses that looked the part as they aimed towards professional couples working in Downtown. It only took a few weeks to get a tenant placed, as the management company predicted they were a professional couple who were both working full-time, the rent was $1,500 a month which we were more than happy with. As you can see everything worked out well but I really do not believe this would have not happened
