I am an international real estate investor from New Zealand expanding into the USA.Average house prices in New Zealand are $800000.I have established a real estate investment company in San Antonio Texas

People cannot go bankrupt easily as it ruins the next 10 years of their life.There are many, many other benefits.The DOWNSIDE is that average purchase price is close to 500K now and gross yields are 3 to 5% in OZ and 7 to 9% in New Zealand.

The reason I ask is that I have to repay the deposit within a set timeframe, so am planning on selling off most of the units in order to pay back investors and will be left with a handful of units free and clear.I'm in New Zealand, so the detail around the laws and requirements are probably quite different - but I'm interested in everyone's thoughts and experiences and what potential pitfalls you can see.i.e. setting up body corp, splitting titles, how selling multiple identical units affects the price etc.Thanks for the help!
