We will be taking the month of October to go to Taiwan, Australia & New Zealand.

I'm coming over from New Zealand to invest in rental property, you have a big country any ideas where I could invest for reasonable yield, stable local economy and an area that is on the way up in the future.

I would say that both Singapore and New Zealand are viable alternatives to the U.S.
