My husband and I became accidental landlords in August 2013, we had the opportunity to live in Australia and we took it.  

This 'debate' reminds me of a discussion we had with a neighbor in Australia, (many years ago). 

Not that all sellers will read it, but I have written it all out before and included it as an addendum.....like....seller is to be notified of the basis of the offer made as fully contained in Exhibit "A" attached and made a part of this Contract, ...at least you can write out and show your comps, repairs, etc and justify your offer.

When visiting friends in Australia they were lamenting their tax increase to $1,600/yr on a $1.5mill bungalow.

I'm a VERY remote investor, we live in Sydney Australia and invest here, but have been newly introduced to the exciting opportunities in the US.

We live in Australia and want to confirm if we can use local Notary public?

If you exhibit an understanding of the vernacular and can talk in extent about real estate and the numbers, you present yourself as someone who know what they are doing, and oftentimes that is just what some people need.I wish you the best of luck and I hope that your enthusiasm will radiate and will rub off on your husband.

Hi, All.Greetings from AUSTRALIA.

ThanksIt is very risky trying to flip from out of country.I would suggest spending large amounts of time on the ground meeting people before getting into something like this.I moved from Australia to the US because I could flip successfully from another country.Lost hundreds of thousands of dollars throughout this learning process.Much success

Just a quick shout out to see if there are any members from Australia that are investing in the US market?
