DETROIT 2016 – WHAT A YEAR SO FAR !

We are just about to enter our third month of 2016 and what a year it has been so far, Detroit again is still proving to be our most popular US investment city. Since the crash many investors have been sitting on the fence, to see how things would pan out. Some investors felt that Detroit had too many issues and variables which created doubt , not just about their return on their present investment but if the future would also mitigate any type of return. If you’ve never been to Detroit and only know what you see in the news, a story about the city’s future could seem confusing, images of derelict buildings and vacant office blocks does not fill an investor with confidence. Negativity always makes great reading but what is really happening, has the city really changed ? is there any positive news ? The answer to this is a very big yes, you have investment taking place all over the city, not just now but over the last few years. A $60 million, nine-story apartment, retail, hotel and conference centre is planned to be erected soon in the heart of Midtown. At the end of 2015 GM announced they were investing $245 million into the Metro Detroit plant. Dan Gilbert, founder of Quicken Loans, has invested more than $1 billion in the last few years, including renovations to Greektown Casino and its highway access ramp. Mike Ilitch, owner of Little Caesars Pizza, the Red Wings and Tigers, is behind the $450-million investment in a new arena and another $200 million to develop the arena district. Chinese development firm DDI Group bought three downtown buildings, including the original Detroit Free Press building, for $16.4 million and is actively scouting further investment in the city. Chrysler added offices downtown, and Fifth Third Bank Eastern Michigan announced it is moving its regional headquarters and 150 full-time employees to downtown Detroit.The ongoing development of the $140 million M1 rail project which is nearly finished and stretches from downtown Detroit to Grand Boulevard in New Centre. The city has been adding things most communities take for granted, such as major grocery stores to support the influx of residents to a city now seen as home of the hipster. Whole Foods, an upmarket organic chain, became the first major grocery store to open in Detroit last year, and Meijer opened a store and is building a second one to open next year. This is just a snippet of the investment that has been taking place in Detroit over the last few years and this has now pushed those investors sitting on the fence to take a plunge. If Billionaires and Chinese Development Groups are buying up properties surely it is time for them ? This increase in demand has led Global to take additional steps to secure the best inventory for our clients, as a company we always rate ourselves as having the best properties at the best prices. We are contacted on a daily basis by real estate companies, private investors and asset management companies asking us to sell their properties. But we have a very strict criteria, we only select the very best properties in Detroit , ones that will provide the best return on investment. We work with more brokers that any other overseas property company, some of them are household names, we now have more than 25 brokers in the Metro Detroit area alone. Not only has our suppliers changed but we also see a dramatic change in what investors want, initially Detroit was all about cheap properties and low capital input. But now investors want properties of higher value, they have more confidence to invest on a bigger scale. Our average sales price has increased to between $30,000-$45,000 whereas two years ago we would of thought these prices would be unachievable. Detroit has a very bright future and Global feels like we were part of the story, we have pushed Detroit over the last few years as we have always felt it was a great investment opportunity and one with great long term prospects for our clients.

BALTIMORE LAUNCHES IN 2016

Global investments has been the leading USA property company for over two years now, we are always on the look out for the next investment hotspot, markets that provide a stable rental income but also offer the opportunity for capital appreciation. Baltimore has been ear marked as the next best investment city in the US, the city is booming with so much economic growth from the Port of Baltimore, Red Line Mass Transportation, I-95 Intermodal Land-Sea-Air Container Transportation, new and renovated projects , massive new school construction, former office and industrial buildings being converted to mixed use-multi-family and retail, water and sewer utility upgrades and Harbor Point Development to name a few. The federal government has recently moved one of their offices into Baltimore, that coupled with the rising costs of Real Estate in Washington, DC and Baltimore’s close proximity to the nations capitol is making Baltimore Real Estate continually more appealing to the overseas investors. Over the next ten years as much as $10 billion will be invested by private and public concerns to assist in the revitalization of the city. If you live outside of the US you might not know a lot about Baltimore but is actually an award winning US city, it has been voted, the second city in America for Tech Jobs, the third best city to live in for College graduates and the fourth best city because of the cost of business. Like the other US cities we sell in, Global has teamed up with the leading Brokers an Management companies in Baltimore to bring our investors the best choice of investment properties on the market today. All of the properties will be exclusive to Global Investments and will be at lowest possible price so you can achieve the maximum returns. We are really excited about Baltimore and we think it offers our investors a new choice in USA property investment at a low entry level. Like the other US cities we sell in our competitors will follow suit and start offering Baltimore as an alternative to their investors but you can be assured that our properties will be the best value for money, exclusive and have no hidden gimmicks.

The Sun is shining on Florida property Investments

Orlando, Florida has been synonymous with Disney since first opening what was originally called the Magic Kingdom to universal acclaim in 1971. However, these days there is much more driving property investment in Orlando than Disney World and the year-round Florida sunshine. Managing Director of Global Investments Incorporated was quoted in saying “Orlando is still one of the world’s prime destinations. It now attracts over 60 million visitors every year which represents huge recent growth. But the area is also fast- becoming a major hub for aerospace, life sciences, R&D, medical, digital tech and business services such as call centres.“ “What we’re seeing here reminds me very much of how Ireland positioned itself over the last number of years as an innovation hub, major international corporations are moving operations here.“ This is good news for the savvy property investor because a new demand-stream has emerged in Orlando that could possibly present better yield opportunities. Renting out a property on a long term basis to a professional working in the area is going to supply more consistent rental income than holiday rentals. Whilst it’s possible to charge more for short term lets, there are the void periods, changeover cleans and more ongoing maintenance requirements to consider that don’t apply to the same extent with longer tenancies. Orlando has been a popular destination for British property investors for many years with buyer-interest set to increase on the back of the dynamism of the local economy. Currently outperforming most other US states in terms of economic growth, Orlando is very much in focus as an investment hotspot. Projects including the I-Drive 360 retail and entertainment complex, a new hotel at Universal Orlando and the construction of a soccer stadium in downtown Orlando are currently in construction. International names like Deloitte, Verizon and Voxx International are stepping up local operations, and adding hundreds of higher-paid jobs to Orlando’s labour market, drastically reducing unemployment numbers in the Sunshine State. The indications are that Orlando is a leader in Florida’s economic expansion in terms of percentage of total jobs being added. Sean Snaith, economist at University of Central Florida said: “The Orlando metro area is by our forecast the fastest-growing metro area in the state for jobs. That is fuelled by the I-4 projects (infrastructure), Wekiva Expressway, SunRail, robust population growth, new companies here and yes, the expansion of tourism again.” It seems Orlando is on a steep growth trajectory making it a great time to be looking at investment property in the area.

“ Kings of USA buy to let Property.”

Global Investments Incorporated lead the way in USA property enquiries last month. Once again Global Investments Incorporated is leading the way in the Buy to Let Property MarketPlace. Last month alone Global Investments received the 4th highest amount of leads for USA investment Properties than any other overseas company, on one of the biggest property websites in the world http://www.themovechannel.com/news/investmentwatch/us-recovery-drives-demand-for-detroit-property-585/#rabDk7WAUeTkKTtA.97 , with a total of more than 400 enquiries from around the Globe, across Three different marketing campaigns which was carried out by the Dynamic Investment Company…. CEO Mike Moodie was quoted in saying.” Demand for these types of Investments in the USA is really starting to increase which is one of the reasons we decided to work with the move channel on 3 separated campaigns. The campaigns were mainly focused on Detroit which is our biggest selling product right now but we had a lot of enquiries for Buffalo NY, Chicago and also Ohio. “ We asked Mike where most of the enquiries were coming from? “ The majority of investors are from overseas. The UK and Irish market is a real hot spot for us, but unlike the last 12 months where most of the buyers have come from the likes of Singapore and Malaysia, we are now finding that the Middle East has a strong demand for these investments with buyers from countries like Saudi Arabia, Quatar and Kuwait. “ Off the back of these campaigns Global Investments Incorporated was reporting in having their best sales month of the year. Mike added. “ We have had a good steady year when it comes to sales, but we have had our best month by a long way in October and we are currently sitting with 33 sales with 7 days left in the month which has surpassed any month this year. Its been a real busy month for all the staff and I personally cant remember my last day off. “ We asked Mike where he would like to see Global Investments go from here. Mike answered. “ Well yes we have had a great month but there has been a lot of hard work gone on behind the scenes. One of the reasons we do so well is our product which is by far the best out there in relation to price, quality, location and net returns. So this has played a huge factor. We just have to keep doing what we do best which is delivering a great product along with a great aftercare programme for our investors. 40% of our current Business is clients coming back and buying more which tells a story in itself. With regards Marketing we have already set up campaigns for November with the move channel and other websites including one of the biggest in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia. On top of this we are planning shows overseas in the Middle East and also here in the UK for the British Investors, so we can meet them face to face. With Regards Product we have just signed 3 new suppliers exclusive in Buffalo NY meaning we will have the best priced properties in this market place giving us another great Investment product for our clients who may want to diversify. So personally I can not wait for November. “ Well it sounds like a long road ahead for Global but a very positive and productive one. For any one that is thinking of investing in the US.

WHY ME?? AVOID THE GIMMICKS AND OVERPRICED USA BUY TO LET PROPERTY.

Global Investments Incorporated has been selling in the “ USA buy to let Investment market” now for almost 3 years and has almost 1500 sales under its belt and many happy clients from all over the world who have come back and purchased more. We asked managing CEO Mike Moody how it all began 3 years ago. “ Myself and the current MD John Odonoghue had been working together for some years in the overseas property market, and we decided that it was time to do something on our own. We started looking at the USA market and seen an opening in places like Detroit, however we discovered a lot of overseas companies selling these types of properties for much more than the market value. “ Other companies that sell the same products that Global Investments sell, have been known to sometimes charge up to triple what Global can sell for. Surely there must be an explanation to this and how can this be possible? again we asked Mike to comment on this. “ Well its actually pretty simple, basically these other companies that are based here in the UK and also abroad in places like Singapore and Spain, buy the properties themselves for rock bottom prices, spend a little bit of money on rehabbing the property and then add sometimes as much as 30-40,000 USD to there price. Even with this inflated profit in the sale this can still look like a very attractive opportunity to the buyer, however they are buying the property at well over the current market value and it will actually be years before the property price is back up to what they have purchased it for. “ We asked MD John Odonoghue what do Global Investments Incorporated do different? “ Basically the difference between us and the rest is that we take our clients direct to the seller in the US, meaning that they are buying direct from them and not a third party who has bought the property and stuck on unnecessary profit for themselves. So our investors are buying at the current market value in that area. All we charge the client is a one off professional handling fee for our service, which is on going even after the sale. We asked Mike how do the other companies get away with selling at these over inflated prices? Mike was quoted in saying “ Well what the other companies do is package up there product with lots of gimmicks, they may say that the property has had lots of money spent on the rehab, where in fact it may be as little as $2,000. They may also offer a free LLC set up which they quote as costing up to $1,000 when in fact you can do this on line your self for as little as $50. “ When buying in the USA buy to let market Global Investments Incorporated have been more successful than any other company out there by bringing the product to investors at the right price, and also moving with the current trends in the market place. They have just released there latest opportunities in Chicago. Prices starting at $35,000 with net returns up to 25%. John Finished in saying. “ We advise any client buying in the USA to do there homework on the current market value of these homes, look at similar homes on the same street. We have sold homes on certain streets in Detroit for example at $15,000 where some of our competitors have sold homes on the exact same street for $45,000? You do the maths????? “ If you would like any further information on any properties that Global Investments have for sale, you can contact them at [email protected] or call +44 161 669 6253

Well, let me give you some insight. Maybe it’s because of the region’s proximity to major markets without major market expenses.

Forbes, Kiplinger, Bloomberg Businessweek, and Brookings Institution all have taken notice of Rochester, NY and given the area a good stable economic recovery, making it a really good spot for our overseas investors to generate great income from the properties they are buying.” With a work force that produces more patents and the 2nd most renewable energy patents in the world.

DETROIT STILL PACKING A PUNCH!

Home values in Detroit neighbourhoods are finally experiencing some upward momentum after years of rock-bottom prices. Still among the cheapest places in the nation to buy a house, Detroit neighbourhoods are seeing prices inch up on most residential blocks with substantial gains in the strongest areas, meaning that investors that have already purchased are seeing good capital growth and which is also attracting new investors from all over the Globe. Mike Moody. CEO of Global Investments was quoted in saying when asked are prices going up? “ We started selling in Detroit just under 3 years ago and the average sale for us as a company was $10,000, 2 years on we have seen a good steady increase in price and now our average sale is around the $20,000 mark. “ A Free Press analysis of land records shows the median sale price of any home in the city was $30,000 last month, more than four times the $7,000 median in 2009, an especially dark year for the economy and real estate. Local real estate brokers and experts say the prices in neighbourhoods are finally rising because investors with cash are purchasing more houses and some are investing in repairs to attract tenants or buyers. Mike added. “ The majority of our investors are not from the US, our biggest markets are the likes of Australia, the UK, Singapore and HK, where all of the clients and investors that purchase with us are cash buyers which is intern helping the economy in Detroit with huge cash injections. “ Another prevailing sentiment is that real estate values in Detroit’s neighbourhoods bottomed out several years ago and didn’t need much prodding to show gains. Detroit also has been enjoying a warmer national image lately as a city that survived bankruptcy with more young people now looking for homes in trendier neighbourhoods. As these newcomers compete over a thin supply of available houses in neighbourhoods such as Bagley and Morning side, prices get pushed up, helping boost the citywide median price. Another factor behind the rising prices is the resilience of Detroit’s historic districts and the trendiness of certain other neighbourhoods where property values didn’t dip below the $50,000. These areas also include Grandmont, Fitzgerald, Harper woods, University District, East English Village, and Grandmont Rosedale. n the Grandmont Rosedale area of northwest Detroit, houses in good condition are again selling for more than $100,000. That wasn’t happening two years ago. Mike was also quoted in saying. “ Demand is outpacing supply in these parts of the city. Move-in-ready properties have lately been attracting multiple offers and selling within days. When we get a good move in ready house in the good locations in Detroit they are normally snapped up by one of our investors within 24 hours. We have incredible new stock coming on but they love quickly and we have set up great new partnerships with different suppliers in the area, giving our investors up to 25-30% net returns and prices starting from $19,000. We have incredible new stock coming on but they sell quickly. We have also set up great new partnerships with different suppliers in the area giving our investors up to 25-30% net returns and prices starting from $19,000. “ If you require further information on any these types of investments please contact Mike directly.

The truth about US property Investments

Global Investments Incorporated is now the most established Overseas US property company, with over 1000 USA property sales in less than 2 years of business. The company grew so quickly due to its unique philosophy of bringing UK and overseas buyers direct to Sellers, Banks and Asset Management companies in the US, and striking major deals with different property funds. CEO Mike Moody, quoted. “ We seen a gap in the market place a few years ago where other companies were charging crazy prices for properties mainly in Detroit but also other states as well. We decided that we could basically cut out all of the hidden profits and commissions that were built into the sale by all of these other companies, and only charge a one off arrangement fee. And in turn giving the investor a great deal and an investment that would actually make money and sense. ” Global Investments Incorporated were the first company to do this, and due to their hugely competitive prices they cornered the market place, also branching out into other States like Up State New York, Chicago, Atlanta and many more. Obviously in time the competition had no choice but to follow suit or go out of business as Global Investments Incorporated were taking the lions share of the market, so there were a lot of copy cat companies that did exactly what Global were doing and tried to replicate their concept. There are so many different opinions out there on Detroit at the moment, and clients are getting different views from many different companies, so clients can almost become confused on what actually is the situation and who to do business with. Mike added. “ Basically Detroit is without a doubt a long term Investment, a lot of our competition look at selling the investor just one property and then move on to the next and will tell them that they can make money in 3 years and that they can buy now and sell quick with different types of exit strategies etc. but in our opinion and from the experts we have on the ground without a doubt Detroit is a long term Investment, at least 5-10 years, and if a property is set up in the right way with the correct management in place and the investor has had the correct information regarding the different locations in Detroit then their property should be yielding them at least a 25% net return. Now let me ask you this? If a property is netting you 25% a year, why would you ever want to sell it on after 3 years, not great investment advice I am sure you would agree? Global investments Incorporated pride themselves on being different to the masses out there doing or trying to do the same thing, they give people a personal service. Mike added. “ What makes us different from the rest is that we care. And we look at this as the start of a relationship with our client, and most of our investors will come back and buy more or recommend friends and family, Global Investments Incorporated’s biggest business is repeat business or referral business, now this would not be the case if we were not delivering on our commitments to our clients. “ To finish off Mike also was quoted in saying that . “ Investment is about our clients feeling comfortable with their decision, and at Global we make sure we are there every step of the way and beyond, whatever time of day or night our client calls or emails they will get an immediate response. Even if it is to say we will be in touch soon. The biggest worry for any overseas investor is that they have a property which is thousands of miles away, and they are sending emails and calls with no response for days or weeks in some cases. We take that a way here at Global and that is why we and our clients do so well. This also comes down from the top of the company and down to all our staff, the management and staff on the ground in all states included. “ Global Investments are the people that you need to speak to if you are thinking of investing in the US housing market, and will deliver a 5 star service to all of there customers. Mike finished off by saying. “ History can tell us everything, one thing it does tell us is that in time property prices will eventually go up, but over long periods of time. If we could all go back in a time machine 20 years what would we do, well I know exactly what I would do, buy as much property as possible as we know for a fact a house any where in the world today will be worth more in 20 years time. History does not lie. “ Global Investments products and reviews can be seen on www.globalinvestmentsincorporated.com.
