Hi Alex,We work with many Australian investors.The US and Australia have a tax treaty in place where double tax is never paid.

20% of it's capitalization and there are some reports ofAsian, Australia, Canada, California, New York, etc.RE markets already reporting up to 25% drops.What's going on in your area?

So this bring up a question: Is there anyone based in the US with investment property in Australia?

London, Spain, China, Australia, or any other destinations are a air bnb away and with rents for most 2br 2 bath condos on the west side of LA pushing 4,000 a month it doesn't take that many of them to add up to some good days abroad.  

I moved to Australia without knowing the lay of the land and a job, so I know that I will find a good city and property in the US - I just didn't want to dive straight in like I did with my move here and have a better plan. 

As I own my own property business, I do at least 3-6 deals with foreigners each month, mostly from the UK, Australia and other African countries....surprisingly never anyone from the US!

Australia, New Zealand, etc.) ended up adopting a version of what he proposed.

I am from Australia and my business partner is from Boston.

At thirteen I chose Brazil, India, Australia, South Africa or Belize as countries I would like to live in.  

There is no scam and I find it appalling that you want to deny math.If you can show how you get access to equity in your simple interest universe where the lender requires you to spend the vast majority of your monthly payment on your amortized mortgage to cover interest, I would be happy to hear how.Otherwise I suggest you stay away from the word scam - or maybe you read up on how houses in Australia and the UK are financed.
