@Lorin K.Although Vancouver is ranked third least affordable in this year's Demographia report; yielding second place to Sidney, Australia, its median multiple {housing price to income ratio} rose from 10.6 to 10.8 meaning things became even less affordable.While foreign investment is a big driver in the frothy Vancouver housing market, it's not the only factor at play.On a national level , Canada held onto the dubious honour of being second on the list of countries where housing is least affordable - the median market remained flat nationally, but improved slightly when just the major metropolitan centres are considered.Toronto - Canada's second most foamy market - saw its median multiple rise from 6.5 to 6.7 - ranking it 330th out of 367 cities in order of decreasing affordability.

we were a bunch of engineering students (Australia)Just for summer break kicks (& $$$) we bought old run down homes with OH mtgs, renovated them & then rented out the rooms (& the front screened in porch on one).

We have non stops from DFW to Australia, the EAU, and Hong Kong.The mistake they made was they were thinking about downtown Dallas.

If It's called an agency disclosure then it should only be obligatory for that deal but I'm not sure what the laws or real estate regulations are in Australia.

I have invested quite a lot in Australia and I’m now looking at buying property in the US.

What I would love to do is this all on my own to save the money but I think the distance is against me.So guys, would a person like me who has $200,000 spare cash to invest with able to achieve this from here back here in Australia?  

In my research the only place I found loan products for owner occupancy of multi families and mixed use (shops or offices and apartments) was in Australia.
