Hi,I'm currently in the US from Australia, investing in Real Estate.

She has seen a fair amount of the US with us but I've never been to Australia or New Zealand and I really do want to see them, much as I dread those real long flights.Anyway, we're both staying busy, I'm opening in South Pacific next week (minor part-I can't sing) and my wife is handling costumes for this play.Soon the holidays will be on us, and then I'll be skiing, life goes on.all cash

One is even run by a female member of BP who is investing in the US though she and her husband are from Australia.

I am a professional real estate investor from Florida (originally from Australia) and I am looking to team up with an American Citizen to do some investing in Charlotte North Carolina.I have located several great properties- heavily discounted in good areas, that I plan to re-hab and flip.Elisa G

Wow I'm shocked, No Property Investors/Millionaires in Australia?

To answer the question on how does someone from Hong Kong know how to calculate vacancy or maintenance in Memphis TN, believe it or not but our company works with lots of foreigners from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and all these people use a different % for each.

Hope everyone has a great New Years, I'm off to Australia for three weeks... if it wasn't for my enthusiasm for getting into REI I don't think I'd come back.

Mostly in New Zealand and Australia.

U R what you see, what hear, what u smell, what u read.Many people only know their back yard or their state.The USA is one of the most diverse countries (money, politics, attitudes, etc) in the world.I have lived in Ireland, France, Australia, and New Zealand, worked in IRE, NZ and AU.There's a different flavor to the USA!

We (over here in Australia) are currently negotiating about 3 of them and plan to have about 50 done in the next 12 months.These are positive cashflow deals with both frontend and backend profit and are being done by many people over here.It does not work with every property.
