As a native of the USA, I hired the services of Tandem Uehling PropertyUSA when I decided to move to Australia and didn’t want to sell my property but rent it for cash flow instead. Greg has been instrumental in not only placing tenants, but also consistently keeping me up to date with video updates of the property. Greg was also able to refinance the mortgage after the GFC with an interest rate of 2.5%, this has substantially lowered my expense ratio. My trust in Greg has caused me to purchase additional property investments through Tandem Uehling PropertyUSA which is now generating an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 16%. Because I am so pleased with these returns, I have decided to purchase units in Greg’s PropertyUSA Fund that will allow me to take advantage of being in a pooled investment fund that will give me access to large scale property developments that I would normally not have access to. Not only will I be invested in high quality projects, but I will also be diversifying my investment across different sectors of the US real estate market which should ultimately lower my risk and lead to greater returns. I’m very excited to continue to see my money grow!

I became partners with Greg Uehling in 2010, in a company that allowed us to purchase income producing properties in different parts of the USA. Greg’s objective, as he told it to me, was to develop a portfolio of properties that would produce enough cash flow by the time he reached retirement age, so he could retire comfortably knowing that there was some US based income flowing each month. This dovetailed well with my objectives however, I was already 76 years old. I used my retirement account in conjunction with Greg’s free cash for us to develop a 50/50 ownership in a company with appropriate capital for use to own a few properties in Cleveland OH and Pittsburgh PA. Over six years on now and I can happily say that we are receiving net cash flow of over 10%. I’m equally excited that we are in a position to begin raising rents as well so this yield will only get better. It’s nice having that monthly cash flow providing me income whilst in retirement.

I met Greg when visiting New York’s Upper West Side when a mutual friend introduced us and presented the fact that Tandem Uehling PropertyUSA offers property investments across the US which may be valuable to my current needs. I am self-employed and have a good amount of funds in my Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF). I’ve accumulated the money over time and have been very conservative with how these funds are invested. I’ve been rolling over the money into term deposits for years. Now that I am 8 years from retirement age, I’d like to see these funds grow a bit more without taking lots of risk so that I can reach a targeted sum upon retirement age. Greg was instrumental in producing a spreadsheet that showed what the investment strategy would produce over the next 8 years. Greg was then able to purchase a property in North Dallas TX that has turned out to be a gem. Greg was able to do an internal sale from an existing client that needed to sell out of his positions for tax purposes. Unfortunately, I was only able to purchase 1 of the three properties. That investor received the appropriate return of 9% per annum for the duration that they owned the property along with a cash flow of about 7% net. Over the past couple of years that I’ve owned that property, I’ve seen the same returns and the results are in line with my objectives. The North Dallas Market has been extremely tight with very little supply so properties like mine are a goldmine. Because I have some idle capital that needs to be invested, I was hoping to purchase another property in the same area, however, instead I will be investing it in Greg’s new fund, PropertyUSA Fund, which will allow me to comingle my assets with others, thus creating far more opportunities and diversification. This investment will allow me to diversify away from a single property and into more large scale projects and other property derivatives that I would not have been able to properly do on my own. I am very confident in Greg’s knowledge of the US real estate market and that he will successfully and continually bring in appropriate returns over the coming years. This fund is a great opportunity to grow this Idle capital and generate a return that is consistent with my objectives in order to meet my targeted sum before retirement age.

We became Tandem Uehling PropertyUSA’s first client in 2011. We had been successfully investing in property in Australia and wanted to take advantage of the strong Aussie dollar and cash flow prospects of properties in the USA, but we needed expertise, so, on the recommendation from our finance broker we met with Greg Uehling of Tandem Uehling Property USA. Investing in the USA, for an Aussie, is not simple. Investing requires a tax efficient company structure along with a US bank account, local lawyers and accountants, plus all the Federal and State tax registrations. Tandem Uehling PropertyUSA helped arrange all of this, allowing us to purchase property in the areas recommended (Cleveland OH and in Dallas TX) in line with our willingness to accept a bit more risk for a greater return. The first few years were rough as many of the affiliate companies Tandem Uehling PropertyUSA had engaged were not executing their agreed service levels and in turn property management became our Achilles heel, but Tandem Uehling PropertyUSA, were instrumental in firing existing affiliates and re-positioning all accounts to new, better equipped managers. Having Tandem Uehling PropertyUSA on our side facilitated the management of our overall US property portfolio. Tandem Uehling PropertyUSA also provides many other services that help us: a local address for snail mail and bills, a registered agent for legalities pertaining to our company structure, links to accounting and legal professionals, and general overall market expertise, limiting faults that occurred in the past. Tandem Uehling PropertyUSA manages the monthly property management reports, discusses anomalies with the managers, handles the annual taxes both federal and state for our company structure and personally; and with Greg’s frequent trips to the US, local issues can be dealt with so we don’t have to get on a plane. Because of how instrumental Greg has been in creating our portfolio of US Properties, we are very excited to expand our investment with Tandem Uehling into Greg’s new PropertyUSA Fund. Not only will this diversify our USA properties portfolio by being able to co-mingle our assets with other investors, it will also remove the management responsibility that we have with our other properties. Instead of consistently having to deal with common issues that are associated with single-family investment properties such as tenant vacancy, maintenance, and costs such as insurance and property taxes; we will be able to be invested in large-scale real estate projects with high quality developers and tenants. This type of passive real estate investing is exactly what we have been looking for. With Greg’s knowledge of the USA real estate market, we are very confident and excited to see our money grow in his new PropertyUSA Fund.

I discovered Tandem Uehling PropertyUSA via a simple Google search. My fiancé and I had a couple of properties in Atlanta that were not producing the way they were supposed to. Adding insult to injury the company we bought them through went bust and we were placed with a property management company that supposedly would take care of our assets and get them cash flowing. Unfortunately, this property management company like many in the USA, scammed us and never delivered the money as required by law. It’s very difficult to deal with fraud from the other side of the earth. This is where Tandem Uehling ProeprtyUSA came in to help us. Greg became our trusted allies when we needed to rectify our whole position regarding property in the USA. Firstly, Greg scrutinised the property managers to understand what they were doing and why things were pear shaped. It didn’t take long to realise that they were saying the property couldn’t get tenanted but in fact there was someone living in one and not paying any rent. If they were paying rent it was to the property management company, under the table, where they kept everything but required all maintenance to be paid for by the owners. Greg quickly accessed his vast database of trusted property agents in the Atlanta market and got them both sold and the property managers cut out of the picture. Greg’s knowledge of the US property market was instrumental in savings us from total capitulation. By the time we sold our positions, we were at breakeven however, with the exchange in the US and Aussie dollar, we actually made money. We trusted Greg’s ability so much that we hired Tandem Uehling PropertyUSA to structure another company in the US for our SMSF. Tandem Uehling PropertyUSA executed everything we expected from the company to the bank account. Greg even flew to the location in Williston North Dakota to stay in the “man-camp” we were planning on investing in. When it comes to due diligence, Greg goes the extra distance, literally. Greg is not about flogging properties but instead he in it for the long haul, working side by side with us, treating our money as if it was his own. He’s always there for us whenever we need his help.
