What kind of house is better to buy in America?

The hottest topic at present must be overseas real estate investment. Therefore, many people will be entangled in buying a house in the United States, what kind of good to buy? Come and have a look with me.

Tangle 1: First-tier cities or second-and third-tier cities?

Of course, the investment cost of first-tier cities is much higher than that of second-and third-tier cities, but I suggest: try not to choose Florida, such as Orlando and other tourist cities. Although the house price is very low, it will be a big problem.

For real estate, whether at home or abroad, the core is location. Emphasize position three times, position or position. We can compare the median price increase of first-tier cities in the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia and China. Through comparison, it can be found that the average house price increase in first-tier cities in these countries is much higher than that in second-and third-tier cities. This also solves our first problem.

So what is the core position? For example, the Wall Street in Manhattan, new york, the Old Financial City in London, the CN Tower in Toronto, the Sydney Opera House in the southeast of Sydney, the International Trade Center in Beijing and Lujiazui in Shanghai are all core areas. We seem to have found some clues. No matter what country, its core area has the same feature: wealth gathering place. Of course, the investment cost of first-tier cities is much higher than that of second-and third-tier cities, but I suggest: try not to choose Florida, such as Orlando and other tourist cities. Although the house price is very low, it will be a big problem.

Tangle 2: Many people say that buying a villa is good because:

1. The villa can own a piece of land of its own, and it is a permanent property right that can be passed down from family to family;

2. There is no management fee for the villa, which saves costs;

3. villas are usually three or four rooms, so you can get higher rent, and maybe you can live with a family in the future.

Then I'll give you a real case around me, which may help you make some judgments:

Because my friend has studied abroad, many of my classmates are American real estate agents. One of them, William, actually immigrated to America a long time ago. About 20 1 1, the American real estate industry just experienced the subprime mortgage crisis and was in a tepid state, so he decided to return to China to start the American real estate industry. So he went back to Beijing alone and entrusted his local residence in the United States to a friend who is also a broker and asked him to help rent it out. In less than a week, a middle-aged white man came to see the house, and he signed a one-year lease on the spot without even bargaining. Both of them are very happy. One year later, at 20 12, the American real estate market began to recover. He has also made great progress in China and made more trips to and from the United States, so he is not going to rent it out. Later, he returned to his home in America to sort out and rearrange. When he got home, he almost cried when he saw the weeds half a person's height in the yard. He almost didn't recognize this as his home. Going further inside, I opened the mailbox and found a thick stack of envelopes containing tickets issued by the government. He quickly wiped his tears, took out his computer, logged on to the government website and paid a fine, about $5,000. He didn't know until he asked his friends. In the second half of the year, his friend was too busy to check the condition of the house. Later, when I asked my neighbors, I realized that the renter was not white, but an Indian couple in 1 with three children.

Those of us who often watch American TV shows know that American families often move, especially some low-income families. We should be extra careful when dealing with these tenants. If you are unlucky, there will be a lot of detention, and sometimes there is nothing we can do, because the vulnerable groups are protected in the United States. Summary: screening tenants for housing rental is the key.

Although the villa does not have high property management fees, it needs to pay its own time cost to manage itself, which is more laborious. Hiring professional maintenance workers also needs to pay high fees, and it is normal to pay tens of dollars per hour.

The rental return rate of villas is lower than that of apartments, usually around 3%. Generally speaking, the closer to the city, the higher the rent. However, the target tenants of the villa are mainly families with lower middle income, and the apartments are close to the urban areas, mainly senior white-collar workers and singles, with higher relative rental returns. In terms of rental return rate, apartments are slightly better.

Tangle 3: Do you want to buy a school district so that you can let your children go to a free public school in the future?

Many parents who plan to send their children to study abroad may be misled by some unscrupulous intermediaries and mistakenly think that they can go to public schools in their districts by buying school districts, but they are not. Because American public schools can only be attended by children who hold American green cards or American local citizens. But private schools have no such restrictions. Moreover, local middle-class families are more willing to pay high prices to let their children go to good private schools. Therefore, overseas investors who want to buy a house to send their children to free public schools need to pay attention to this.
