They DON’T keep their promises

As previously stated, they assured us that they would uphold their commitments; however, we have been unable to reach anyone for several weeks. They agreed to provide the appliances specified in the agreement, yet we have received no updates despite repeated attempts to contact them. Their delays and lack of communication reflect a level of unprofessionalism that is creating significant inconvenience and concern.

Based on our experience, I would not recommend working with them. They presented themselves as capable of handling everything, but the outcome has been disappointing and far below expectations.

Another Seamless Investment Experience…

Another Seamless Investment Experience with Global!

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve just purchased another investment property in Cleveland, USA — and once again, the team at Global has exceeded all expectations. Their professionalism, market insight, and support made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

From the initial consultation to closing the deal, every step was handled with precision and care. The team’s understanding of the Cleveland market helped me identify a high-potential property that aligns perfectly with my portfolio. Communication was always prompt, transparent, and genuinely helpful.

This is not my first time working with Global, and it certainly won’t be my last. Their consistency, integrity, and client-first approach continue to impress me. If you’re considering property investment — especially in the U.S. — I wholeheartedly recommend the Global team. They truly make the whole experience effortless-thank you

A True Breath of Fresh Air Investing with Global Investments

I have purchased 4 houses through Global Investments and the experience has been fantastic. Barrie Keeling provides details for the available properties and is a pleasure to work with. John O'Donoghue arranges all of the contracts, house inspections and closing documents and procedures. He has been very professional in supporting me in each of these purchases including advising whether or not the house is worthy of proceeding or advising not to pursue the purchase due to the findings in the inspection process. He exemplifies integrity and professionalism which gives you comfort and confidence in your decision making process.
Global Investments has provided turnkey services minimizing the stress in buying a house. I will continue to work with them in my journey of real estate investing.
A true breath of fresh air working with Global Investments.

I was nervous about making my first overseas investment, but Global walked me through every step of the process. They helped me identify the right neighborhood, coordinated inspections, connected me with property management, and even helped estimate renovation costs.

Never ever buy a house from Global

I bought a duplex house from Global in Cleveland in the summer of 2024. The price seemed okay and the transaction seemed fine at first.
However, over time, the house turned out to be a disaster. The renovation that Global had carried out took months and was very amateurish.
A water leak was concealed, resulting in high water bills, which of course were not paid by Global.
The house is a complete disaster with countless hidden problems that are now gradually coming to light. The house is not the cash flow property promised by Global, but rather a money pit like no other. I would never buy another property from Global again.

Dear Christian,

We were naturally disappointed to read your 1-star review and feel it's important to respond. We always strive to engage with our clients, whether feedback is positive or negative. We also reached out this morning to see if we can assist further.

While we respect your right to share your experience on Trustpilot, we believe a brief review lacks context and doesn’t fully capture the sequence of events regarding your purchase. One benefit of Trustpilot is the ability to respond and provide a fuller picture for others.

You purchased the multi-family property in late August 2024, located in a desirable area of Cleveland. One apartment was already tenanted, and the other was agreed to be made rent-ready by Global. The rent-ready work was completed to a high standard, and we shared photos with you in November 2024. Your management company also provided a comprehensive post-renovation report (30 pages) outlining items that needed attention for a Section 8 inspection, which we addressed, except for the blinds (optional and not required for tenant placement).

Completing the necessary tasks—closing on the property, arranging management, setting up utilities, and restoring a two-bedroom apartment—within three months is reasonable. We inform all our investors that renovation timelines typically range from 2-4 months, depending on the scope of work.

Before your purchase, we provided a full independent inspection report on the property. If the tenant placed by your management company was Section 8, a third-party city inspection would have also been required. None of the three inspections raised concerns about water leaks, and your claim of a “concealed water leak” is both inaccurate and concerning. We take such allegations seriously, and suggesting that Global would intentionally hide such an issue is unfounded and potentially defamatory.

Regarding the issue raised, we want to address it in detail:

In May 2025, your management company reported plumbing issues in one of the apartments and provided an invoice from their contractor totaling $3,490.25 for permanent repairs. This work, which included removing the ceiling, replacing plumbing, and ensuring proper drainage, was covered by Global on your behalf. The work was confirmed as completed by both the management company and the contractor.

After receiving your review, we contacted your management company and learned that bathroom leaks have caused further issues. While we aren’t fully aware of the situation's extent, it seems that if the initial plumbing work had been completed properly by your property manager (which Global paid for), this issue might not have occurred. Based on these circumstances, we believe the responsibility for the problem lies more with your management company and their contractor rather than with Global.

We understand that maintenance issues can be frustrating, but as the property owner, you bear ultimate responsibility for repairs. Your management company was paid to resolve the plumbing issue, and had that work been completed properly, the water leak—and the large water bill—would not have occurred. It’s unclear why you would expect Global to cover the costs in this situation.

Christian, these investments should be viewed as mid- to long-term, rather than judged over 12-18 months.

The property you purchased at 12207 Corlett Avenue for $94,900 (including renovations) has already appreciated in value. In fact, the property was appraised by the bank on June 2nd this year for $110,000. This means you’ve gained approximately 16% on your initial investment in just 12 months. In the current market, the property would likely sell for considerably more than what you paid for it.

Please know that we remain committed to supporting our clients, even after a year has passed. Despite your review, we are still here to help if you need further assistance with this matter.

Thanks

John

I purchased a rental property in Detroit last year through Global Investments. The team members that worked in coordination during the process displayed excellent guidance at every step. Gokhan was always there to answer any questions. John was very helpful.

A Trusted Partner in International Property Investment

Twelve years ago, I was eager to enter the international property market and explore viable opportunities abroad. Global Investments Inc proved to be an exceptional brokerage partner — introducing me to the US rental market and social housing sector with unparalleled expertise.

Their deep-rooted knowledge, combined with genuine on-the-ground relationships, brought clarity and confidence to every decision I made. From strategic insights to meticulous follow-through, their commitment to integrity and outstanding customer service stood out in every interaction.

Global Investments didn’t just facilitate transactions — they built trust. I’ve continued to benefit from the relationships and investments that began with them over a decade ago. If you’re serious about international property investment and want partners who truly walk the walk, I wholeheartedly recommend their services

Appearances are deceiving

Update: Following the closure and commencement of renovations (initially projected for three months), the situation progressively deteriorated. The renovation period extended beyond eight months, characterized by substandard quality and inadequate communication. The promised Section 8 standard was not met; regrettably, the outcome fell significantly short of expectations, resulting in a highly unsatisfactory experience. We advise exercising caution to avoid similar disappointments.

Opportunities within everyone's reach!

Hello, I'd like to share my experience as a Latin American investor. I'm Uruguayan, and my savings were very limited, but I knew I had to do something different. I decided to look for a way to invest and improve my situation. That's when I met Marcela and Barrie over Zoom. They clearly explained how I could buy a property in Cleveland with financing, cover all expenses with rental income, and still receive a net monthly income for my family.

They introduced me to a Spanish-speaking private lender who works with them, which was essential for me. Everything went perfectly, and I was able to buy my first financed property. Today, I benefit from a stable monthly income.

The best part? I only needed USD 50,000 to get started.
I'm happy. Thank you, Global Investments!

I am thrilled to share my positive…

I am thrilled to share my positive experience with Global regarding my investment property, a 3-bedroom house in South Collinwood, Cleveland.

As an investor, Global also found me a reliable management company that delivers results while maintaining open communication which is paramount.

From the outset, the team demonstrated professionalism and a deep understanding of the Cleveland real estate market. They provided me with detailed insights into the neighbourhood's, highlighting its potential for stable rental income, particularly through programs like Section 8. Their expertise gave me confidence in my decision to invest in this property, and their hands-on approach made the entire process seamless.

After a few necessary upgrades we now have a Section 8 tenant and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The process was handled with remarkable efficiency and care. The team conducted thorough tenant screenings to ensure a reliable and responsible occupant, which gave me peace of mind as an out-of-state investor. They also coordinated all necessary inspections and paperwork required for the Section 8 program, keeping me informed at every step. This level of attention to detail is rare and greatly appreciated.

Since the tenant moved in, the property has been well-maintained, and the rental payments have been consistent and timely, thanks to the guaranteed income provided by the Section 8 program. The management company continues to monitor the property, promptly addressing any minor issues that arise and ensuring the tenant is satisfied. Their proactive approach has made owning this investment property relatively passive, allowing me to focus on other endeavour's while reaping the financial rewards.

Communication with Global has been outstanding. They provided regular updates on the property’s status at all times. Whenever I have a question, their team responds promptly and courteously, demonstrating a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. This level of transparency and accessibility is invaluable, especially for someone like me who isn’t local to Cleveland.

The South Collinwood property itself has proven to be a good investment, and I credit Mike from Global for guiding me toward this opportunity. The 3-bedroom house is in a great location, and with the Section 8 tenant in place, it’s generating steady cash flow with minimal vacancy risk. I’m already seeing a god return on my investment, and I’m confident that this property will continue to perform.

In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend Global to anyone looking to invest in Cleveland real estate. Their expertise, dedication, and ability to deliver results have made them an invaluable partner in my investment journey. I’m beyond satisfied with their handling of my property. I look forward to continuing our partnership and potentially expanding my portfolio with their guidance

Sincerely,
Rita

Bought two properties through Global

I have used Global for two property purchases and everything has gone seamlessly
They source properties organise refurbs (if necessary)
They are there every step of the way
It is particularly useful that they also have a range of contacts- property management, accountancy and legal
If hands off property investment is what you are looking for you won’t go wrong by speaking to them
