@Joseph Morell I am a cash buyer@Ned, thanks@Minh L Its still going up (no one knows why lol) yes I bought the property site unseen, I have an Australian friend who lives in KC he checked it out for me, I also got a building and pest inspection done.I am planning a trip late this year to KC.

I think it could be really advantageous to start building a community of Australians from within the community to work together and learn from one another (there may pottentially already be a group of this sort, if so my appolagies)So with the formalities out of the way, AUSSIES SPEAK UP!

I’m an Australian currently living and working in Vancouver, Canada as a property manager and looking at investing in the US.

Yep,Always sitting on enough cash to move and shake if it ever tumbles again.I would love for the Australian market to tank also.I moved $$$ to the US when the dollars where equal.

And back in 2012 or so before I found BP I used to post on the Australian version of BP  and there was an out of country forum and raging debates on what was better Texas because prices did not fall or ATL because they did fall 50 to 80% in some areas or FLA like fort Meyers.

@Dean Letfus Being an Australian citizen, knowing New Zealand very well and having friends who have invested there, I respectfully totally disagree with Dean's view of the New Zealand market.

Since you are an Australian resident selling property in the USA, it is important to consult with both a US accountant and an Australian accountant. 

Kershaw word is the Australian company is going to speed up the opening of the gold mine.

In all fairness I wrote one for Australians on the perils of buying in ghettos in the US..

And I had been posting on the australian version of BP.. never knew BP existed until Engelo turned me on to it.
