Newbie looking to invest in North America from Sydney, Australia

[Dominic Royles]

Hello Bigger Pockets!

I am SO excited to be posting in here for the first time after listening to hundreds of hrs of BP podcasts. I also know that nothing in life is free and my skills lie in sales. So if there are any seasoned RE pros out there reading this, I'm more than happy to dial some phones or return a few emails in return for any wise words.

I also have a pretty funny situation going on in terms of getting started. I am an English and Canadian citizen living in Sydney, Aus, and planning to move back to Canada in a couple of years. I feel like I should be investing in Canada or the US as I'd like to be closer to my deals when I move back in a couple of years.

However, there's a part of me that. is horrified at the prospect of buying RE in a totally different continent and time zone! But it also wouldn't be any different than investing in RE from BC in Ontario if that makes sense.

Are there ay Aussies here investing in North America or visa versa? I'd love to connect and figure this all out :)

Hey @Dominic Royles

Welcome to BP.  I am not in Australia but we moved to the UK 2 years ago and have bought a couple properties in the US while living here.  We purchased turnkey for those two but are looking for more of a value add opportunity on our next one.  Feel free to send over any questions.  I'm happy to share our experience.
