Like Canada and Australia just don't have it for the most part, among plenty of others I'm sure.

It may be slowed down but will not be stopped simply by the weather, there are cases now in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa which being in the southern hemisphere are experiencing the warmer seasonal weather. 

I moved to New Orleans from Australia 2 years ago and run a wholesaling business and invest in Greater New Orleans.

Green Star is Australia's version of LEED and they have some great case studies.

Hi Real Estate GurusAnyone here from Australia or know much about real estate in Australia ?

We had done one in Australia.

Long story, but as an electrician years ago, I worked closely with a researcher in Australia who'd been quietly working with Sydney doctors and cancer patients.

Based in Australia for the most part and given the nature of our property market and my personal investment goals the US market holds more appeal to me.Stumbled upon this place thanks to the power of Google when looking for more information and looks to be a great community and resource for learning!

I'm a tax accountant in Australia with a strong background in property investment here, so pretty knowledgeable of the general gist of property investment and given my current investment strategy and goals I've ended up looking towards the US for my next, hopefully, few investments.I'm looking for buy and hold investments with good rental returns on them on low cost of entry.The basics of my situation are that I'm a US citizen who has never lived/worked in the US, have a stable job with reliable income in Australian dollars (the exchange rate is brutal these days!)

I am not in Australia but we moved to the UK 2 years ago and have bought a couple properties in the US while living here.
