Not being on the ground just delays the process.As you mentioned you really must have trustworthy contacts on the ground.They might take years to establish.There is a lot more regulation in Australia and also not as many scam artists as there is unfortunately here in the US.Thanks for reading and have a great day.

Having good advisers, and trustworthy "boots on the ground" will eliminate and reduce most risks, as well as ensure success. 

They know us as a trustworthy and honest couple.
