@Brian BrysonI’m an out of country investor from Australia and I’ve invested in Akron for the past 8 years.I’ve had some tenant horror stories, but overall it was a good decision to invest there.A few takeaway things I’ve learned.Cash for keys is your friend- get the problems out asap.Property management in the area sucks - overservicing, fee gouging, etc. are rampant.

I did all the architectural exhibits, estimates, budgets, and construction related documents myself.

The last data that I saw was somewhere in the range of $16.5 billion in redevelopment or new construction going on in the "7.2" section of Detroit.For any local investors, Bedrock and the City of Detroit have partnered to put on an exhibition of recent changes that have and will be happening in the city in the near future.

I'm very bullish on the Bay Area and its economic drivers.Until I visited Australia, I have never seen or heard of the acronym, CBD.

I have bought property in Australia and built a tech company to 300 employees but am still trying to get my head around the US market (It is very different, so lots of new Vocab and strategies to learn)I went to my first NOREIA meeting recently and found that everyone was friendly and the information was great.

My name is Rudi and I've recently moved to the US from Australia.

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.

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?  

As Exhibit 1 shows, that was up from 2.5% in 2017.

New here and am a Mechanical Engineer from Australia currently in Bay Area.
