Hi all,I'm an Australian who moved to the Central Coast of California with my wife (and now 3 week old son) around two years ago for work (Winemaker) and am now looking to begin investing here.I've been a member now for around 10 months but am only now posting my introduction after listening to most of the podcasts and reading many of the blogs and forum conversations.

we have a lot of australian clients and work and take them through the process of buying investment property in the strongest real estate markets in the U.S.

Hi there,I am a 29 year old Australian looking to move over to the US to invest in residential properties.

Hi, my wife (american) and I (australian) are considering a move back to the US.

I have an Australian husband, so it's double the work trying to navigate two jurisdictions. 

About a year and a half ago I started looking for rentals - I read books on buying properties long distance, and developed a great friendship with an Aussie BP member, who's based in NY (my husband is also Australian), all because our plan WAS to buy a bunch more rentals and use the income for our retirement.
