I did this at a much further distance when I was based in Singapore, about 2x the distance away vs your location.I think the key item you need to be prepared for is committing to a long term investment, understanding that it will take time to iron things out and be prepared to inject that time and cash into the investment.

This is not unique at all as there are many countries in the world where foreigners cannot own freehold and landed property except in certain circumstances and these countries include Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Australia, India, Switzerland, Vietnam, Korea, Japan etc. etc As a consequence in our situation we are NOT a condominium but are classed as an APARTMENT complex [REMOVED] and [REMOVED] (a different meaning in law) and as such we only do Leasehold but as previously explained we then give the Land Ownership Company to the owners themselves so they are leasing from themselves and become both the Lessor and Lessee, nothing could be safer!

I am an American living and working in Singapore and surrounding countries in South East Asia for over 5 years.

Hi guys, I like the Singapore method.

Tomorrow, Cambodia and then on to singapore to end this week.

Hi all,I'm a newbie out-of-country investor (American living in Singapore).

Given the time of year, I am unable to seek advise from a local Denver CPA combined with living in Singapore have left me with an important question.  

Any suggestions on how to find property owners that live out of the country; Singapore, China, etc. 

I was in Singapore last two weeks.

In Singapore for example houses sell for around $2800 a square foot so there are many, many multi millionaires who invest here in the USA by leveraging against their own home.
