- Where to invest
United States
The reasons for choosing the U.S. real estate market as our primary investment focus are broad and well founded, shaped by years of experience in both local and international property markets.
Here are the main reasons behind our decision:
Low Entry Threshold
The entry point for purchasing a detached home with a yard in the neighborhoods we specialize in begins at approximately $100,000 USD.
In Israel – this amount would often not even cover the down payment required for a mortgage, and even in the best-case scenario, rental income would rarely offset mortgage payments and related costs.
High Returns
Even in cash purchases, our U.S. properties consistently generate annual returns of 9–11% for our investors.
In Israel after deducting ongoing expenses such as purchase tax, brokerage, legal fees, insurance, maintenance, repairs, and tenant turnover, achieving even 3% net yield is nearly impossible.
Information Transparency
In the U.S., all real estate data is public and easily accessible, allowing every investor to evaluate any opportunity with complete clarity.
In Israel the situation is quite different. The level of property data transparency found in the United States is unmatched elsewhere, giving investors a clear and reliable advantage.
No Purchase Tax
Even when purchasing multiple properties in the U.S., investors are not subject to purchase tax.
In Israel – starting from your second property, a heavy purchase tax is applied, significantly reducing profitability and consuming much of the property’s appreciation during the first few years.
Why Ohio?
A comprehensive market study conducted before selecting our focus area revealed several key insights that position Ohio as an ideal investment region:
Economic Stability
During the 2008 financial crisis, Ohio’s economy remained steady, and property price declines were minimal compared to national averages.
Landlord-Friendly Laws
Ohio is a state where regulations tend to protect property owners, creating a fair and balanced environment for landlords and investors alike.
Growing Economy and Low Taxes
The state’s growing economy and relatively low tax structure have encouraged steady population growth, especially in the areas where we operate, driven by new employment opportunities and business expansion.
Steady Price Growth
Property values in Ohio have shown consistent, long-term appreciation, reflecting the region’s balanced economic development and sustained housing demand.
Choosing the Cities – Akron, Barberton, and Specific Neighborhoods
When selecting our key cities and neighborhoods, we focused on a set of proven success factors that ensure stable returns and long-term growth potential:
Proximity to major universities, attracting dependable tenants such as faculty members and administrative staff.
Close access to large hospitals and healthcare centers.
Limited new construction despite increasing demand for housing.
Middle-class population with stable employment and consistent income levels.
A favorable ratio between GDP per capita and average property prices.
High rental yields relative to the cost of housing.
Large-scale development initiatives, such as the Lock 3 Project, which support urban renewal and positive migration.
Expanding business activity, including major employers like Amazon opening multiple large distribution centers, generating thousands of local jobs.
Additionally, the neighborhoods in which we operate have become increasingly attractive to young families and couples, thanks to nearby parks, low property taxes, and ongoing municipal investment in urban infrastructure and community development.
