Finding Triplexes and 4plexes..

[Zane Bradshaw]

Hi, 

So I know that there is a lot of talk about a duplex, triplex or 4plex being the best investment for a first time investor.. The thing is, is live in South Africa, and where I live you don't see much triplexes or 4plexes at all. So that investing strategy is pretty much thrown out the window in my country. 

What I want to discuss is international investing.. What are the things stopping me from getting on a plane to let's say America, getting a loan, and buying a triplex there? What are the technical rules about international real estate, and all the details. 

I am 18 years old, just about to finish my schooling career in the 2 months, and would not mind traveling oversees for 'business purposes' next year :D Pretty keen actually..

Any info on this topic would be great, thanks.
