Was interested in buying a property in the US as I had just sold my property in NZ.

US Invest offered a total turn key solution where it was possible to have a really good investment, returning good money.  They handled everything from the lawyers setting it up, property managers and renovations including setting up the bank account.

Settled on a property nearly 4 months ago.  They talked me into paying cash and not using finance.  Once I settled on the property I never heard from them again.  No bank account was set up and I never heard from the property managers.  I have asked them numerous times to sort it out, which they say they are doing and then advise they will call but never do.  I have not heard anything for the $120,000 I handed over.

I want my money back!  As well as all the money I should be entitled to like the rent, the increase in property value they said would occur.  

These guys a good con artists.  Don't be fooled like I was.

Thanks for the email I have just received informing me, that after nearly 5 months since I supposedly purchased the property, the LLC hasn't been set up correctly (by the lawyer you supplied and I paid for) and hence why the bank account hasn't been set up!

I would appreciate you refunding all monies I have paid for this so called good investment, forthwith.  I don't think that is too much to ask considering I have nothing to show for it except, wait for it,  ummmm NOTHING!!!!

These Allegations are False!

AUTHOR: US Invest Management - ()

POSTED: Friday, November 14, 2014

I have to say the allegations made are completely false with the exception that we do offer a total turn key solution for investing in Real Estate, we did sell this client a property that is currently tenanted, and it’s located in a high performing market.  This client purchased a property from us, the deed was transferred to their LLC as you can see here on the county records website and it was mailed to her mailing address.  This is proof that the sale took place and she owns her property.

taxcommissioner.dekalbcountyga.gov/TaxCommissioner/TCDisplay.asp?ParcelStatus=Y&pin=2324988

Also you can check the GA secretary of state to confirm that this LLC is a valid LLC owned by our client:

cgov.sos.state.ga.us/Account.aspx/ViewEntityData?entityId=4884716

We have been in constant communication with this client via email and phone in regards to their bank account setup, however being a foreign national and not coming to the US in person to setup your bank account takes much longer.  The Patriot Act has put many restrictions in place so this does take a few months to setup.  Nonetheless the bank account setup is in process and we expect it to be fully setup in the next 30 days.

As for not receiving any income, this property is rented to a qualified tenant with a valid 1 year lease agreement signed.  The net annual return is roughly 8%. The property is being professionally managed by a NARPM (National Association of Residential Property Managers) registered property manager and they are currently holding this client’s funds in their trust account which can be wired anywhere in the world with a simple request from the client. 

I am absolutely appalled by this erroneous report that has been filed against us.  We have bent over backwards trying to assist this client in every possible way.  The only issue at hand is the bank account is not setup yet, however we don’t make the rules when it comes to the United States Patriot Act, so we simply have to follow them and that takes time. 

This client owns a very good investment property in a high performing market in Atlanta which is actually rated by Forbes Magazine as the # 6 market to invest in 2014, so I’m not sure why this client is saying that we stole her life savings.  Your life savings is sitting in equity in a tangible real estate asset that can be sold at any time for a healthy profit, it was not stolen!

Please do your own due diligence on this matter before believing what this client is saying or call our office to speak with one of qualified staff at 1-619-309-4490 or our toll free international # is 1800 339 200 and we can prove everything that has been written in this rebuttal.
