I'm Australian and I heard other people from Australia and Canada doing well in US property.

Rural Gaston operation centerpiece of Tesla dealGavin Stewart The Gaston GazetteA business partly based in Gaston County signed a major deal to mine for and sell lithium to Tesla, the world’s largest electric vehicle manufacturer.Piedmont Lithium, an Australian corporation whose North Carolina office is based in downtown Belmont, has drilled and explored a rural piece of land near Cherryville over the last few years.The company signed a binding agreement with Tesla this week to supply mineral concentrates, a source for lithium, for five years and extendable up to five more years.Tesla’s interest in the lithium -- furthermore, Gaston County -- comes from its ability to power the batteries of electric vehicles.The agreement begins once Piedmont Lithium delivers its first product to Tesla.

I'm not sure what Australian tax laws are. 

I figure as more and more foreigners come to invest in the US (yay the dollar) people on bigger pockets should be introduced to how internationals and not to mention most large multi national firms firms operate (especially in finance and more especially in the asset management business).What prompted me was this Australian individual who was worried about the burdens of a foreign estate and inheritance taxes:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/63102-help-deciding-between-llc-or-individual-s-name-for-foreign-investorAs for financing because it is in fact unconventional and offshore we have ascertained financing from private banks.

@Janne Zaccagnino  have to be careful giving out your account number and letting them do their own deposit.. .not for what you think  IE theft... but in Oregon for instance if you are having a problem with a tenant and say they owe 1000 in rent and they make a deposit in your account for 500.... its deemed accepted and you have to start eviction all over again.. very cunning little trick professional tenants use in Oregon.The idea that not every single US citizen does not have a checking account is totally lost on Australians who do everything electronically.  

HSBC it might have been  but you needed to put $100k or $500k I think, again it was a few years back,We dealt with a lot of Australian investors. .

Has anyone had experience dealing with a prospective tenant who is Australian/international? 

I am an Australian investor but been investing in both marketsI think median house price of Sydney is $1M last time I lookedRules apply for foreigners buying in Australia, its not same as in US where anyone can buy if they have the cashYou wont come close to buying cashflow properties unless you go regional centre?? 

Hi KalaniI am Australian and moved to the US 7 years ago.

It could be a huge cash flowing asset when executed but you want to make sure you have a steady stream of tenants that are queued up and ready to rent these places.
