Investing as a Non US Resident
Hello all, I am a non US resident, come from the land down under 'Australia' and have been dabbling in real estate in the US for the last 18 months. Such a fantastic opportunity to gain financial independence, although it is not easy when you do not live in the USA. such as not really knowing the local markets and where to buy will consider all areas! Would love to increase B&H's, but have been finding it difficult to secure finance in the US at a good rate, due to not being a resident and having to put 60 - 65% down any ideas of where to start would be appreciated. thanks in advance Gaynor.
