I am not an attorney but I manage over 600 properties and am a part of NARPM as well as a speaker both across the US and Australia to discusss mistakes owners make by not know the current local and federal laws and end up costing them big money just to try and say they were smarter or right. 

Write your postHi,I'm from Australia.

NSW is in Australia, it's a state, Sydney is the capital city.

The US is very similar to Australia but unlike Australia, those who came here were driven to make their life better whether it was religiously or economically.

Hi everyone, I am an Australian who already has a portfolio of properties in Australia.

we were at that brew pub by his office... ( it was the first one in B ham and really good beer).he was regaling me in a story about this investor from Australia who came to visit she looks at his nice B stuff there in B ham.. and says why would I buy this it only has Gross yields of 15 to 18%  when I can get GROSS yields in Detroit that are 30% or better...

Things like a month long trip to Australia and New Zealand, a few expensive camera gadgets that I want, etc.

A few years later I bought a home in Florida (cash), took my (contracted) 6 week vacations every Dec-Jan at all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean & took several (unpaid leave) visits to family in Australia.

I don't know about small claims court in the US but from my experience in Australia you would need a contract between you and the other party that gives you a buy/sell arrangement to get out of this deal.

Sydney Australia is 9,500 miles from Cleveland OH and 17 hours ahead in time.
