Milwaukee, Why is this city attracting investors in 2020 ?

Growing demand and low supply have caused Property prices to surge to historical highs in Milwaukee and the entire state of Wisconsin. Rising rental prices are also making it difficult for renters to buy a home, creating a potential win-win for real estate investors over both the short- and long-term. Located along the western shore of Lake Michigan, Milwaukee is the largest city in Wisconsin and less than a two-hour drive from Chicago. A large number of German immigrants arrived in the early 1800s, helping to put Milwaukee on the map with its beer brewing traditions and earning the nickname “Brew City.” If you visit Milwaukee you must try some of the local craft beers on offer. Key Population Stats: The City of Milwaukee has a population of nearly 600,000 and there are about 1.6 million residents in the Milwaukee metropolitan area.

Manchester the UK’s fastest growing economy

Manchester is the capital of the North and the housing market is booming, according to information from Hometrack, property values in Manchester are growing at twice the rate they are in London. Manchester has been the focus of the UK Government’s plans to turn the North of England into a powerhouse, helping the area to compete with London and the South.Manchester is part way through a multi-billion pound regeneration program, improving all areas of the city centre, airport, and infrastructure, including the iconic Spinningfields and other areas like Salford and the Northern Quarter.There is investment taking place all over the city and one of the biggest project was the new Media City, to date £650m has been spent on the new Media City which is a 200 acre business hub for media, digital and creative. The BBC’s move to Salford’s Media City was huge for the economy, Granada and ITV also relocated to Media City making the area the UK’s new media hub.Over 70% of the FTSE 100 companies now have a presence in Manchester, and 50 international banks, with an estimated GDV of over £50bn are located in the city. Last year it was announced that Manchester International Airport, which is already the UK’s largest airport outside of London, is to receive a £1bn investment. Greater Manchester’s population now stands at 2.5 million and increasing daily. Between 2002 and 2015 the population has increased by a massive 149%, making it the fastest growing city in the UK. Due to the growing career opportunities available in Manchester, the city is becoming an increasingly popular choice for young professionals. For this reason, the rental market is soaring, and landlords are finding that potential yields are a lot higher than those offered in London and other UK cities.Greater Manchester is home to one of the largest student communities in Europe boasting around 100,000 students between the local universities. This huge population of students just goes to show that Manchester is a first-class destination for higher education.As you can see the city is booming but Manchester does have a big supply issue, partly due to nothing being built between 2008-2012 in the city centre, but also due to the ever-growing demand for city centre properties. It is anticipated that by 2025 the population of Manchester City Centre will increase by a further 125,000.The most demanded properties in Manchester are city centre apartments which are great for renting. Premium new apartment developments in the popular areas like Deansgate, Piccadilly, Ancoats, Victoria, Salford always sell quickly due to their ideal location.Manchester really does offer something to all residents and visitors.

Investors flock to Milwaukee

“ THE HOP “ Milwaukee is another great hub for investors — Milwaukee is a great place to invest in rental properties. Millennials make up over 80% of rental property tenants in Milwaukee with the median rent price at $830, slightly higher than the overall median rent price of the state. Millennials are flocking to the city attracted by the job opportunities, the craft brew scene, burgeoning downtown area, and affordable cost of living. And with slightly higher rental prices, you’ll be able to get a good return on your investment while still attracting plenty of renters with the more affordable rate. There are many up and coming projects in Milwaukee that are fuelling the attraction to this fine city. Large infrastructure changes bring new business, jobs and investment which subsequently drives real estate investment in and around the city. Global Investments will be keeping you up to date on current and up and coming projects. One such investment is “ The Hop “ is a streetcar line operating in downtown Milwaukee and nearby neighbourhoods in Wisconsin, US. The $128.1m project was constructed in phases. It connects 80,000 downtown workers, 25,000 downtown residents and millions of visitors, while establishing a fixed-rail transit operating system in the city. Approval for the project was obtained in February 2015 from the City of Milwaukee Common Council. Construction commenced in 2016 and has now completed its first year of service in 2019. “When we build The Milwaukee Streetcar, we are supporting or creating jobs for city residents; we are constructing functional and attractive infrastructure that promotes business growth; and, we are setting the stage for additional private sector investment and economic activity.”– Tom Barrett, Milwaukee Mayor Home to several major corporations, the Milwaukee region ranks 5th among United States cities on a per-capita basis for Fortune 500® headquarters. Rich in culture and arts, the city also boasts renowned educational institutions and a rapidly evolving built environment. Aside from its distinguished assets, Milwaukee will now join other peer cities in offering a fixed-rail transit network. The world-class system will set the tone for future developments and position the city as a progressive urban centre that welcomes new investment, businesses and talent.In addition to sending a message of growth and prosperity,The Milwaukee Streetcar will conveniently connect residents, workers and downtown Milwaukee’s 6+ million annual visitors to an array of transportation choices and attractions. Pedestrians, bus riders, train travellers, drivers and cyclists will soon choose the streetcar’s easy-to-navigate routes and high-quality trips as a link to their destinations. ENHANCED CONNECTIVITY The Milwaukee Streetcar will better connect the Intermodal Station and its 1.5 million annual users to the Historic Third Ward, central business district, lakefront and Lower East Side. Hunden Strategic Partners recently conducted a study that determined, “downtown would function more coherently as a single downtown area with a permanent transit service. In a city core that is as expansive as Milwaukee’s, a system of intersecting transit lines or streetcar tracks set up as a downtown-area circulator appears to be a positive path to tie the city’s attractions and people together, and to jump-start new urban development.” CATALYST FOR DEVELOPMENT ”Fostering economic development” is a primary goal established at the onset of The Milwaukee Streetcar project. Cities such as Portland, Seattle and Minneapolis have all seen billions of dollars in new development occur within close proximity to their fixed-rail systems. Milwaukee anticipates similar benefits and is taking steps to capture the streetcar’s full economic development potential. What drives this economic boom is the attraction to permanency. Developers are drawn to fixed-rail routes because they know their investment will be serviced for the long-term. The Milwaukee Streetcar will create the same level of confidence and predictability as have similar systems in other cities. ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY To demonstrate the economic potential near the streetcar system, the City of Milwaukee conducted a land use analysis of the area within a quarter-mile of the initial route and its extensions. The analysis indicated the following economic activity could be generated by 2030 : 9,000 new housing units (63% increase) 13,500 new residents (55% increase) 1,000,000 sq. ft. of new occupied retail space (31% increase) 4,000,000 sq. ft. of new occupied office/hotel space (28% increase) 20,500 new jobs (23% increase) $3.35 billion of new development The Milwaukee Streetcar is expected to help unlock this development potential. Conservatively speaking even if half of these figures are achieved the knock on effect with regards demand for real estate in and around the city will surely be positive. With higher demand comes a growing rental market and also fantastic potential for capital growth. Milwaukee is a market with tremendous, long-term potential for increasing rental and property appreciation, if you would like to see our current Milwaukee properties please email invest@globalinvestmentsincorporated.

“NEXT STOP MILWAUKEE – THE NEW INVESTORS DREAM”

Milwaukee is a city that has not been on the investor’s radar for the last few years. But this fascinating city located North of Chicago in Wisconsin State is suddenly getting a lot of attention. Milwaukee is often written off as a rust belt city in decline; a city with a falling population; a city that needs investment. So why would you invest there you may ask? Milwaukee is following in the footsteps of other categorised rust belt cities like Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Cleveland to name a few. These cities have seen large-scale investment, rising house prices and high rental demand and Milwaukee is no exception to this. CNBC ran an article at the end of last year called, “Why millennials are flocking to Rust Belt real estate.” The article centred around why States like Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin are seeing an influx of younger buyers in search of more affordable living. To quote the article it stated: “In recent years, the revitalized Rust Belt economy has brought in younger workers, and made the area’s real estate an attractive investment opportunity. Redfin, one of the largest Real Estate websites in the US, has identified the start of bidding wars in Rust Belt cities – a trend that can already be seen to have taken effect in in Cleveland, Ohio. Looking at Milwaukee itself, we can see that this property market is already showing signs of revitalisation, prices are starting to rise and rental demand is on the up and up. According to Zillow, the median home value in Milwaukee is now $123,300. Milwaukee home values have gone up 7.6% over the past year and Zillow’s Milwaukee real estate market prediction is that the prices will rise 3.3% within the next year. Milwaukee is the largest city in the state of Wisconsin and the fifth-largest city in the Midwestern United States. It is located on Lake Michigan’s western shore. Milwaukee is the main cultural and economic centre of the Milwaukee metropolitan area, which has a population of over two million people as of 2018. Downtown Milwaukee is thriving as the economic, cultural, and social hub of South Eastern Wisconsin. Since 2005, over $4.1 billion worth of private and public projects have been completed, and more than $3.4 billion is currently being invested in ongoing or planned construction projects. Milwaukee is known for many great things. There are nine Fortune 500 companies located there.

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.

Our UK division will offer investors an all-encompassing service that incorporates sales, lettings and a range of property management services to maximise your UK buy to let investment. Like the US, the UK is also a complex market with many different types of properties available offering different types of returns from student buy to lets to shares in a Care Home, we believe that as a company the best type of UK buy to let property is the basic family home. Brick properties in decent areas with good sitting tenants and a property that you own outright, freehold with no assurances or leasehold buy backs. As a UK registered company we are backed up by a solid core team of knowledgeable individuals, our team negotiate the best deal that simply cannot be found elsewhere. As a result, all of our properties are heavily discounted and are high income producing investments, we strive to deliver all the services an investor may need under one roof. To start our UK launch we will be concentrating in the Northeast of England where property prices remain undervalued while rental values are increasing steadily. The Northeast can deliver very healthy returns for those seeking strong yields with ‘bricks and mortar’ security. The North East has consistently featured at or near the top of the UK’s ‘best places for buy-to-let’ list for the last few years, there are not many parts of the UK that can offer low purchase costs and high rental demand. According to recent article by “This is Money” (which won financial website of the year) Buy-to-let landlords are buying up property in the North East as central London rental market shows signs of ‘topping out’ . Buy-to-let landlords are snapping up more properties in the North East to take advantage of high annual yields. The proportion of existing landlords in the North East looking to buy more homes in the region over the next three months has doubled to 19 per cent since last year, according to the National Landlords Association. When compared with the nationwide average of 4.2%, the North East property market demonstrates very favourable returns – with up to 10% returns available in some cases, property prices in the North East are low and the rents are very high in comparison to most other areas. The North East of England has seen huge changes in its economy in the last 30 years. Since the demise of the coal mining and ship building industry in the 1980s, we have seen a surge of investment from the government and international corporations like Nissan, Caterpillar, Sage and Black and Decker. The North East has five of the top Universities in the world – Durham, Sunderland, Northumbria, Newcastle and Teesside. According to the estate agent Savills, the North East, and in particular South Tyneside is one of the top 10 locations of Britain expected to see the biggest house prices rises over the next five years. Your money goes a lot further in the Northeast, we will be offering three bedroom family homes fully refurbished in good locations from under £50,000. Each property we sell will be refurbished by a local building company and managed by a local management company. With offices in the Northeast of England you can be sure we will have every box ticked and oversee every part of your investment from start to finish, we will also be able to accommodate and inspection trips if you should like to come and see the properties first hand. “ I am personally very excited about this new market and can not wait until 2018 when we launch our UK division. We are looking forward to bring our international and local UK investors another great property investment opportunity here in the UK . ” – Mike Moodie CEO Global Investments Incorporated If you like more information on our exciting new properties in the UK please email invest@globalinvestmentsincorporated.com
