New to the US market

[Bryan Yokoyama]

Hi all 

I have been investing in Australia and the Philippines for the past 15 years.

I lean towards buy renovate and rent , but also looking at renovate to sell as well .

My wife and I have  7 rental properties and  2 commercial properties  we also have some experience with renovating properties (3  so fare ) and we have done ok doing the work ourselves. 

I was curious to know about potential opportunities to invest in property in the US  and if it is at all possible or even worth while .

Thanks 

Bryan

@Bryan Yokoyama Bryan we just started up a kind of side-Aussie thing here a couple of weeks ago; you're welcome to join in. There's opportunity everywhere over here, but obviously you will have hurdles if you're not in the thick of it so to speak.

Hi Bryan,

It's definitely possible for Aussies to invest in the US and more profitable.

Cheers!

Hi @Bryan Yokoyama, that's great, sounds like you've been successful! I would consider checking out Columbus, OH! 

[Remington Lyman]

@Bryan Yokoyama Columbus is a great area to check out but make sure you talk to an accountant about the implications of out-of-country investing. @Account Closed is a great resource.
