All markets exhibits mean reversion when it comes to returns.

At this point in my life I've come to a realization, that If you want to be a successful person, you must exhibit successful habits and behaviors, I am going to work to being more disciplined than I've ever been from budgeting money to Time Management and better sleep and fitness/nutrition habits.

I'll be adding another credit line here in a month or two when I ask AMEX to transfer my acct from Australia to the US (they have a service where they use your credit in a foreign country to help your application in the US).Just wanted to thank all those who helped me by replying to my original post :)

I currently live in Sydney, Australia (I am an architect) and I am surprised to hear all the time from US property investors that they need to replace a roof.

Some of these markets, like Vancouver (which jostles with Sydney Australia annually for second place on the list of least affordable cities {from a real-estate perspective}) and Toronto are very expensive; others are moderate; and a few here in the Maritimes are still fairly affordable {tradeoff is the local economy is smaller and not on-fire.

Hi All,I'm from Australia where the market is extremely high where the average single family home here in my city costs 900k and cash flow is extremely hard unless you have a lot of capital and put down a large down payment.

Jay is absolutely right, 750k is super cheap here in Sydney, rental return of about 5% anywhere in Australia would be considered sensational.

Don't get tempted by the inner-city junk like most of the CA, UT and Australia people do.

Hi everyone,I am a foreign investor (from Australia) looking at purchasing some properties in Las Vegas next month.

Investing in precious metals is a bad idea at the moment as you'll be buying in towards the top of a recent run up - the gold/silver bubble will burst on June 30th (or thereabouts) when QE2 ends - you'd be better off buying dividend paying stocks in resource rich economies like Australia, Brazil, or your own home country, Canada.I personally use the preffered stock ETF (ticker: PFF) you get a monthly check and a nearly 7.5% yield and you do 0 leg work.
