You've got to build trust with the person you're talking to and if you have a tough time doing it virtually, then go with what works for you.I have clients all over the world, from Australia to Italy to Liberia as well as all over the US from California to Florida and Michigan to Texas.  

As an international investor located in Australia I have only just been made aware of the situation.

I call that the "Buy and Hope" strategy...doesn't work so wellEven here in Australia where the market is booming on the east coast, we still do not purchase properties unless we are able to manufacture our own growth through rehab, subdivision, strata titling, significant property discount etc. 

Unverifiable income will not be considered.Applicants must receive positive references from all previous lessors for the previous 5 years.Applicant may not have any evictions or unpaid judgments from previous lessors.Applicant must exhibit a responsible financial life.

I currently have a vacation to Australia booked for June 5th through the 18th, hopefully I'm fully recovered from the jet lag by the time the 20th comes along.

Hi All,I'm asking this question for someone who lives in Australia and plans to move here to New York within the next year or two. 

We are San Diego natives (but actually currently based in Sydney, Australia for 2 years) so planning to invest outside our local market. 

I no longer want to for the difficulty they are exhibiting, which was not seen by us until the BP community pointed it out.

One of my tenants has been complaining the past couple months that my inherited tenant has frequent comings and goings of people that look like drug fiends exhibiting drug fiend behavior such as banging on the door at very early/late times as if uninvited.I haven't acted on it because I have no proof.

[I live in Australia, so am not too conversant with your Tax laws - but I still expect them to make SOME sort of sense].
