Sorry that I brought an Australian Corporate Law definition to this forum, so please ignore my earlier post.

(although individuals will be queued and submitted once the IRS starts accepting them in late January)I have not submitted any calendar 12/31/2018 returns yet and have advised clients that waiting for software updates and patches may be the best course of action considering the TCJA and the prime-time government shut down.The states are iffy (as is to be expected on January 12th) but daily updates and patches are getting them where they need to be by February.

All funny aside, it would be awesome to link up with some other investors in the area and hopefully a realtor that could help us out.Thanks, Kevin  Hi Kevin,My fedora is off for looking into Toledo.10+ years ago folks laughed at me for being Australian and moving to Toledo.Nowadays, it seems like everyone is flocking to Toledo to invest heheGet yourself very solid feet on the ground and make sure to visit regularly.10+ years and thousands of deals and rehabs later, we still get screwed by contractors.It has been, still is and always will be a tough market when it comes to finding reliable folks for pretty much anything.I guess it's just the demographic we are in.Although many won't agree (Nothing new to me though as my whole business career I'm a black sheep), we are finding great opportunities in the 43607 and 43609 zip codes.Great bargaining power and fairly priced.Area is gentrifying and on the up swing.Good infrastructure close by supporting tenant and home owner demand.It's on a "street by street" basis so stay diligent.Best deals to be found on Craigslist, direct mailers and wholesalers.MLS has been dead for years now IMO.The above is just my opinion tho so take it with a grain of salt heheAll the best and much success

Hi there I'm an Australian looking to start investing in the US RE market.  

I would pose that question at propertyinvesting.com which is an investor site geared mostly towards australian investors.  

I wanted to share a quick story that might help someone else.Last March, we bought an investment property SFH here in Ft Wayne from an owner that was an Australian citizen.About 2 months after our purchase, we received a letter from the IRS requesting our Form 8288 and appropriate funds.

This was in Australia and I don't know Australian lending laws but he probably didn't take no for an answer.

Im looking for a HML to lend to me (Australian) in Chicago on residential multi unit properties.

Dear BP,Currently in San Antonio, I would like to get a mortgage loan to purchase a multifamily residential investment property.I am Australian and need to find a Foreign investor-friendly bank.

I'm not a US citizen, I'm an Australian citizen :), but my sister is.
