Post: What Market Should I Move To?

Hi all,

Im considering moving over to the US from Australia and wondering what cities I should consider.

The plan is to make a trip in the near future to check out a few potential cities in person before making a final decision.

When I do move I flip for an income as I imagine getting a well paying job is unlikely. Then use the income to buy small cash flowing multi family properties.

Any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.

@Patricia Steiner

It’s sounding like a mission and a half. I appreciate your input. Are you able to share which 3 banks?

@Chris Mason

Thanks for that link Chris. I’ll look into it and what a SSN is haha but it sounds like I want one of them.

@Nicholas Covington

Thanks a lot for that Nicholas. The down payment required is important information. It also gives me a direction to research foreign national programs.

I’ll stay in touch if you don’t mind. I’ll probably have way too many questions as I learn more.

Hi all,

I’m looking to move over to the US and was wondering if anyone is able to offer advice about borrowing money on a visa.

My current understanding:

We (non-citizens) can get a regular mortgage through a bank only if it’s a home to live in.

Banks consider up to a fourplex a standard property they’re willing to offer a regular mortgage. Assuming I live in a unit.

When it comes to buying investments or flipping regular banks wouldn’t be an option? Alternative loans such as hard money would be the only options?

I could be completely wrong. Open to all and any advice.

Thanks in advance!

@David Nolan

Thanks for reaching out David.

I’ve sent you a message

@Lindsay Stewart

Thanks Lindsay!

I would be interested to know your story.

How you got in, what your focus is and how it’s traveling.

@Frank D.

Hey Frank, I’m from Australia and couldn’t agree more with how green the grass looks in the USA. A lot more bang for your buck and unheard of returns. I’m interested to see how it all works out for yourself.

All the best

@Marisa Rowe

I don’t know much about Detroit but it sounds tricky. I guess it’s like anything - money to be made if you know what you’re doing.
