FAQs

Home » Welcome To Nair Invest » Our Services » FAQs

Is this a good time to buy?

Don’t miss this once in a lifetime opportunity! We have never seen housing prices like this since the great depression in 1929. Now is the ideal time to buy, as US property prices are low, rents and still strong, and the AUD is worth slightly more than the US dollar. Entry points are low, as property is much cheaper to buy. There is both opportunities to buy and lease your property for a passive income, and to fix and flip.

This table is an example only to depict the advantages and possible returns of investing in the US property market as compared to the Australian property market.

Where do we invest?

Nair Invest has conducted extensive research in investing in U.S. real estate and has chosen a few places to invest. We have chosen these based on a number of factors, such as the rental yields in the area, unemployment rates, depreciation levels and expected growth in the area. Please click here to see the best investment areas in the US.

Am I allowed to Invest in the USA as a non-resident?

Yes! The United States has no laws restricting foreigners buying property in the US.

How easy is it to find good tenants?

American families are always looking to rent, as many cannot afford to buy a home. We make sure that the tenanting phase is as easy as possible by;

  • Making sure the property is attractive to prospective tenants (renovations, proximity to amenities etc.)
  • Extensive advertising
  • We use licensed and experienced Property Managers who screen all tenants prior to approval.
What about the tax implications?

Taxes will depend on your country. Many countries and the US have double taxation agreements in place. Please contact us for more information. Local Tax Local taxes are paid in the state or county in which your property is located. The tax amount is based on approximately 75% of the assessed value of the property. Taxes vary in amount depending on the local facilities. Over the past year, we have seen taxes drop.

How do I receive my rental income?

We will assist you to open a US bank account where your rental income will be deposited on a monthly basis. It is up to you to transfer your money to wherever you would like.

What if there is a maintenance or repair problem with my property?

This is why we hire licensed property managers to take care of these problems for you. Your property management agreement will entitle your property manager to fix emergency repairs and major repairs up to and including a certain limit before contacting you for your permission. Your monthly statement will outline any costs (these are usually tax deductible).

Can I sell the house if I need to?

Yes of course! If you need to sell your home for any reason, you are welcome to do so. Nair Invest will be here to help you every step of the way!

Will there be any capital growth on my investment property?

Some places in the US residential market (including the areas we invest in) have experienced up to a 75% decline in value since the global financial crisis. Some property prices are even below replacement cost. We are already seeing properties being snapped up by investors from all over the world and we have seen some growth in value and competition to buy investment properties over the past year. Combining this with the excellent rental returns shows why cash flow real estate in the U.S. is one of the best investment opportunities!

How do I send the funds overseas?

All transfers are done through a wire / bank transfer. Please ask your bank for more detail – each bank is different.

What is an LLC?

A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a business structure allowed by state statute. LLCs are popular because, similar to a corporation, owners have limited personal liability for the debts and actions of the LLC. Other features of LLCs are more like a partnership, providing management flexibility and the benefit of pass-through taxation. To separate your other assets legally from any debts that occur in respect to your US property, the LLC is used. The LLC will help confine any exposure to whatever assets the LLC has at the time (such as the investment property).

After I invest, can I contact you in the future for further customer service?

You are welcome to call us with any questions, queries or concerns. We have specialists with years of experience situated both in Australia and the USA on hand to answer your questions. We will inform you of any excellent potential properties, changes in the market or new investment strategies.

What are Section 8 Tenants

From: http://www.usrentallistings.com/section-8.asp Under Section 8, families with very low incomes are eligible for financial housing assistance from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (from here on referred to as HUD). HUD allocates funds for housing assistance to local housing authorities, also known as PHAs (or public housing agencies). Then, the local housing authority distributes these funds in the form of Section 8 vouchers. Approximately. Here are the steps that a Section 8 Tenant must take to rent one of your houses: The tenant identifies the house,  our property manager schedules an on-site appointment with the Section 8 inspector to inspect and pass the house, Once passed, the tenant moves in

What are the rules with regard to Section 8 tenants?

Every year Section 8 officials inspect the house to ensure: That the house is in good condition and you are providing a good living environment as a landlord. Your tenant is treating the house appropriately If a tenant does something that leads to them being excluded from the Section 8 program (eg. Vandalism), they can never participate in any Government program for the rest of their lives. In most cases, the tenants take care of the house, as it’s in their best interest to do so.

Can I be sure that the title of my property is clear and won’t cause any problems?

With every property transaction, we highly recommend the investor purchases title insurance. The cost of this is usually US $200 – $300 and will be added to your closing costs when you purchase your property. This insurance will protect you against any claim, outstanding monies or encumbrance against the title.

How much does it cost to set up a US company?

Please contact us today to find out our great value company set up packages. Package prices range from USD $500 to $1000.

How do you handle tenants who cause damage, move out or don’t pay rent?

We have professional, dedicated property managers who look after everything to do with your property. The property manager will send you a monthly statement, outlining all transactions relating to your property. You will also receive a rental bond from your tenant, so if your property is damaged, or they move out, they will forfeit their deposit. Our property managers will advertise your property, source and screen tenants and organize any minor maintenance.

Is it difficult to find tenants?

No. We make sure that we source attractive properties in good neighborhoods and close to all amenities. We do thorough research on each property to determine market rental prices in the area.
