How do you offer your services to foreign investors?

Question

Greetings everyone. I am a newbie investor here and have been getting my feet wet finding a few wholesale deals and doing heavy marketing for the other wholesalers in my area (central Florida, aka. Disney) I was wondering how any of you have offered your investments to foreigners looking for property in the states. We have received some leads from Criagslist and posting on different property web sites, but I was wondering if there was a popular web site or service that helps foreign investors look over what is available to them in a particular area.

Tyler,

There are a number of different websites out there that foreign investors may be using. We have had luck however, using the social media scene. Things like posting on bigger pockets, but also blog traffic, facebook, twitter, etc. have been instrumental in building our network. This takes quite a bit of time to setup and maintain, but I for one can tell you that the time investment has been well worth the payout.

Curt, I agree 100% about your comments about putting together a system for your buyers. This definitely lends credibility when you're working with them, and also provides them with a reason to keep working with you.

Tyler,
You have to also consider networking and that's why we are all here. I live in Miami Beach and as a matter of fact I have Russian Investors arriving to Florida beginning on January. They are very interesting in buying wholesale condos in Florida, I have a couple of projects in South Florida and another one in Tampa, that I will show to them They are looking for 150 to 300+ fractioned properties. Please contact me by email and send me info on your products. I work 90% with Foreigners.

I will be looking forward to hear from you.

How about adding your listings to international online website such as primelocation.com, or even Sothebys. Craisglist is not as well attended abroad even in English speaking countries as it is in the US. Loot is big in the UK, and housepricecrash.co.uk may have an investor section. For Europe you will need language skills.

Don't make it sound too hyped. Tone it down a notch.

We have been working with man foreign buyers from many different countries and its more then just finding foreign buyers, you have to know what documents and everything needed to make it so they can buy. We have spent many of hours to figure out the formula for this. Its worth it once you know what to do. Good luck

Even if you don't speak but one language, if you have friends or others that can speak other languages you can still take advantage of the opportunities available. My wife speaks Mandarin Chinese and it has helped several times.

If you lack certain skills it can be helpful to surround yourself with others that can help in these areas.

How many languages do you speak? I speak 3, but only 2 of them particularly well. Never underestimate how many doors this opens.

Networking with other investors is a great way to find additional buyers or sellers through them.
