Kendra Todd is the owner and principal broker of the Kendra Todd Group which finds new and emerging real estate markets within the United States. Her mission is to enable all people to achieve financial freedom in life and, in her opinion, the perfect vehicle through which to do so is bricks and mortar.
Kendra is a professional realtor and worked in the Floridian real estate market for many years before The Apprentice. She purchased her first property, a $50,000 condo in Florida, at 23 years old. She now holds a wide portfolio including other properties in Florida, Las Vegas, Phoenix and North Carolina.
The trials and tribulations of The Apprentice taught her the importance of endurance, working hard and having a solid strategy to obtain the right results. As winner of The Apprentice 3, real estate tycoon Donald Trump appointed Kendra to manage the renovation and sale of the world's most expensive home (at the time), a $125 million waterfront mansion on Palm Beach Island, South Florida. Since then Kendra has taken that entrepreneurial spirit forward with a new TV programme on Homes and Garden TV in the US and has just published a book entitled "Risk and grow rich".
Kendra is keen to help property buyers overcome their fears of taking risks. She feels that taking "positive risk in order to achieve positive results" is essential. She also raises the fact that more and more women are becoming active in the property market be it for second homes or investing in property as part of pension provision. Kendra very much believes that real estate can play an important role in providing for the future, for your own retirement or your children's college/university fees for example.
With concern that the US property bubble may burst Kendra advises that the US market should not be seen as a whole but regionally. She identifies 5 US property hotspots in which to invest which include North West Florida, North Carolina, Idaho, Tennessee and Colorado. North Carolina in particular is seeing huge growth as it has become an ideal destination for the baby boomer generation, where demand is high and supply low.
With respect to US citizens investing internationally, interest in buying a property abroad has risen substantially. Favoured overseas property locations are the Bahamas, Panama, Costa Rica and South America as these country's economies are closely linked to that of the US. However Dubai and rental property in France has also become popular. Kendra feels that the impact of the weak US Dollar compared to the Euro or Pound has not enticed Americans to invest in Europe further.
However on the flip side, the favourable exchange rate has enabled many Britons to invest well in the US. Kendra welcomes overseas buyers as she feels that the increase in global communications has allowed people to view the world as their back yard. She would advise Britons however to only take calculated risks and make sure they learn how to manage a property from afar before purchasing.
