Hi, 

I am looking to buy my first investment property. I live in Sydney and the prices are too high for me to afford to get into the market here so I want to look into other areas where I can get into the market. 

my plan is to renovate the property myself (as I am a tradesman) then rent it out.

What are they key things that you look for when deciding on an area to look into? 

is there any advice you would offer someone starting out?

would this plan generally work better for apartments or houses or is it more dependant on the area?

thank you for your help!

Thanks @Eric Wagner

@Federico Gutierrez

That really says something. Do you know if there are any legal issues with a non American citizen buying property in the USA?

Hey @Jordan Sinclair thanks for your help mate! That’s looking like a really good option

Hi guys,

I’m just starting out on my property investing journey. I’ve been trying to learn as much as I can to work out what my investing strategy is going to be.

I would like to buy and renovate properties for rentals but I live in Sydney Australia and house prices here are super high and generally negatively geared. 

Has anyone found a good way to invest in Australia or does anyone know how hard/the process for an Australia to buy in the USA. 

Thanks for you help
