Linz’s Musings – Finding your true centre

Spring is certainly upon us, and with the days here starting to really warm up, more sunshine and footy finals upon us, it gives us that small ray of hope in a relatively grim view from lockdowns on the East coast. And while I am certainly not going to sit here and tell you whether […]

7 best U.S. states and cities to invest in

With 50 states to choose from, it can be overwhelming to decide where to invest in the U.S.A. Narrowing down your property search can also be challenging (in a good way) since there are so many promising residential properties in each state and city.  Having numerous options across the country has only encouraged more investors […]

Linz’s Friday Musings – Don’t lose focus

As another Friday comes to a close (well here in Oz anyway) we close the chapter on another week in our lives. It’s a great story we are all creating – unique, jam packed with action, drama, and suspense (oh, and lockdowns!), and I am sure it would certainly make for interesting reading in time; […]

What is Luck?

Happy Friday the 13th! Apparently, an unlucky day. Interesting what we deem in western culture as ‘bad luck’… While there is certainly evidence in history to reasons why the number 13 might be bad luck, and possibly Friday (historically in the Middle Ages, Friday was deemed to be an ‘unlucky’ day to begin journeys) there […]

Linz’s Musings – The 8th Law of Nature

It is certainly amazing how quickly the weeks fly by, even when in lockdown! We can even start to see the days getting a little longer again, a little more daylight later in the afternoon, giving that glimmer of hope that spring is coming, albeit a way off yet… Its hard to believe that in […]

Linz’s Musings – Time to rise and fight for our freedom

Happy Friday and I hope you are all coping in these unsettling times.  Looks like things here in AU are starting to go off the rails again, incredibly sad to see… But today, I would like to revisit a theme I mentioned last year… Now, I probably am also dating myself here and possibly a […]

The differences between property investment in the U.S. versus Australia and New Zealand

Investing in U.S. residential property is a viable option for Australians and New Zealanders given the market is doing incredibly well and is continuing to trend upward.  U.S. property investment is a great way to gain an extra stream of income because a typical property in the U.S. is nearly the equivalent to a downpayment […]

Linz’s Musings – Be IN the trenches

And it’s a Happy Friday from me again this week!  Been a massive week so far, hope you all have had a great week too! Today I want to discuss strategy in a way.  I was reading recently about the widening gap in Australia between the wealthy and the poor – the “have’s” and the […]

Linz’s Musings – To win, just keep trying

Happy New Financial Year to all here in Oz! ‘Tis a strange time of year, we see EOFY sales everywhere trying to get people to buy things they don’t need, to save 40c tax… Bit like negative gearing really, pay $1 to save 40c. But hey, I am sure it works somehow, otherwise why would […]

U.S. tax implications on real estate for foreign investors

Investors who want to branch out and invest in U.S. residential properties tend to feel apprehensive about taking such a big gamble. After all, it’s an entirely different country with different laws, regulations, and tax implications. Many find that it’s a bridge they dare not cross because of all the confusion around it. Being “fear-frozen” […]
