Firstly, thank you to those who have gotten this far though our newsletter! Secondly, and harsh as it may sound, there are several ways those who are still liquid can profitably take advantage of a global downturn which is still causing much suffering to others 3 years after the credit crunch began.

One of these ways, which Torcana identified more than two years ago, is to purchase highly discounted and undervalued properties from distressed sellers. To maximise the return and minimise the risk of these types of properties, they must be purchased

- in wealthy, democratic economies
- with a history of renewal and recovery from recessions
- in fundamentally sound cities and neighbourhoods
- where locals rent long term
- where locals have and are currently purchasing these properties

Apart from that, the properties must be fully completed, cashflow positive and in well located and well run buildings or communities.

I´m sure there are plenty of other types of properties that can make you a healthy profit, but these are the ones we´ve identified with the best risk/reward ratio. It´s difficult to see how these kinds of properties will give any serious problems over the next 5 years and the potential benefits are huge.

So our criteria is very strict, but we´ve found plenty of properties that tick all these boxes and the latest is Arbor Lakes in Orlando. Here you can buy for 30 cents on the dollar in a beautiful and pre tenanted condo with 7-9% net rental yields.
