Property Investing Advice Questions

Where on the net can you get impartial advice on investing in certain countries?

I am sorry for posting this more than once, but it has previously been answered by people advertising their nike converse shoes! I really want a genuine answer!!! Thank you Hi, I am 19 years old, and really would like to get some hands on experience in real estate/property investing. I have read lots of books, but I do not think I will fully understand the ins and outs until I do some hands on work. Do you have any ideas how I could get some work experience, or even help someone working in real estate (free of charge of course!) or anything just to get some experience. I live in Sheffield, England if that makes any difference. Thank you for your help Justin

I am a professional unemployed graphic designer, and thinking of moving into the property business, investing etc. for a living, fed up of being told that I am over qualified as a graphic designer. Can anyone recommend how I can get a foot in the door, gain help and the type of organisations to seek for advice? Thank you!

Looking to purchase a condo in Makati City in the Philippines. First time investing/purchasing in property overseas. Looking for a strategy and plan on how to rent out the place while I stay in the U.S. Also, I would love to hear opinions on if you think this is a wise purchase but from KNOWLEDGABLE persons only.

My main asset is my income, 75% of which I save every month. My secondary asset is the interest from my savings account. My main liability is my rent. My interest is steadily approaching my rent and will eventually overtake it. So why does everyone recommend that I invest my savings into property, lose my secondary asset and swap my main liability (rent) for an alternative liability (mortgage + interest on mortgage + house maintenance costs). Am I not better off renting and saving? Is this advice all based on the assumption that house prices will continue to rise and the potential returns from property speculation will outpace the increase in the monthly interest I receive from my savings? Or is there something I'm missing which shows that it is fundamentally better to use money to put down a deposit on a mortgage than invest it in a high-interest savings account?

I live in the uk and will have been to florida four times by feb 08. I love the place and also want to invest in a property to rent out. I thought that combinig the two, ie a place that i love and the desire to invest in a propery would be a good idea, also the statistics say that orlando is the tourist capital of the world, having some 42million visitors last year and still rising as they build more parks (Sea Worlds Aquatica and also Harry Potter world). The strong pound against the dollar and also the property market slump in prisec all seemed to add up to a good deal. I would not purchase the property with the dependancy that the rent would cover the mortgage. Any experience and advice would be gretaly received.
