@Jay Hinrichs it is important to note that NZ and Australia are very different markets.

Hello, I will be moving to south Australia and would like invest in realestate there.

One guy said he had someone in australia even doing it.

My name is Steve and I am from Melbourne, Australia .

But feel it is going to negatively impact landlords by further scrutiny(and new regulations) from the government which will harm tenants on down the road.I'm not sure how it "harms tenants" any more than any other business harms customers by raising prices.Around 70% of rental property is managed by a professional property manager in Australia whereas it's more like 20% in America.

@Leanne WebbyHi LeanneI’m in Australia - we are neighbours .Australia is not great for investing now , too expensive.Let us know your progress 😃

The zero down payment makes it hard because the monthly payments are quite high, but hey free equity.My one true love is traveling and a couple of years ago, after working for a while and saving a decent amount of cash, I quit my job and was living the nomad lifestyle just wandering around the world - spent a lot of time in eastern Europe, India, and Australia.

As a former electrician in Australia, when I bid a job I really didn't want to do, there was always a price that I would do the job for...as in a lot higher than it should have been. 

We are investors from Australia about to do our rehab from Australia.

And nothing from that book exists in my country I'm in Australia and none of my banks have lease options or fha loan etc.
