Finding a niche in a foreign country is a lot easier than it may seem.

I work in project management for flippers and remote and foreign investors, so I am asked all the time about Charlotte.  

I even have a client who is a diplomat from a foreign country and he owns properties here in the U.S. while working as a diplomat.

I work in project management for foreign and out of state investors on remote rehab projects, and work with a lot of contractors.  

Investment properties aren't cheap in SG relative to MY or IDMy two cents on Singapore's property market from an expat former banker perspective:-cap rates (income-expenses before financing relative to property market price) went through the roof since people see limited land--peaked in 2015ish, but still outrageously low-interest rates dropped low enough to sustain borrowing on these low returns-building has continued without parallel demand growth (supply>demand)-Singapore employment regulations are being more and more protectionist (and an ageing population) so you won't see foreign labour growing significantly in the next 5-10 years IMOPersonally, I would be more interested in Indonesian office/industrial/MF just from macroeconomic factors, but there's opportunities in every market if you find the right niche.

I work in project management with remote flippers, a lot of foreign and out of state investors.  

The IRS taxes the sale of land in foreign countries in the same way it does for land sold in the US.  

The banks lend 20year notes interest only loans to BRAND NEW entities (domestic and foreign) with no credit checks.

Or Are you a foreign national?

I'm in project management myself and I  work with out of state and foreign investors everyday and would be happy to pass along my best wholesale contacts if you'd like them.
