Live in New Zealand, bought in Memphis :-).

We'll probably try a mix of rentals and flips (mostly because we had so much fun renovating our house).My husband is from New Zealand, and I am from the US.

We would never tolerate such a "mickey mouse" system in New Zealand :-).

New Zealand maybe a different market but purchasing real estate and the techniques behind it are basically the same.

Hi @Nathan Clark thank you for sharing your experience with us and even though there were trials throughout the process all was not lost, the property is cash flowing and your zeal and perseverance will definitely pay off on your future deals.

I'm a California native, ex-Manhattanite, transplanted to New Zealand.

Hi KevinI spent a month in New Zealand once-the most beautiful country.

Coming from New Zealand, I have the option of stopping at Hawaii, or continuing to the main USA to set the account up.I'd be interested to know which banks are the most "Investor Friendly" especially in terms of foreign investors.I've heard that the smaller banks may be better to work with in the long term.

From the other side of the world........Auckland, New Zealand!

@Srikanth PatnamI love Australia and New Zealand !
