What queued me into all of this was starting to read up on becoming a landlord for the first time.

- I am assuming that paying for the property in all cash will be far more easier then getting a mortgage with a US Bank but am I even eligible for US mortgage as a Australian resident?

Let me know what you find out @Maisa Vahedi as I'd like to know too as an Australian. 

Hi Everyone,I am new here and I came here because I am Australian and I bought a property in Texas with a real estate company.

We should try and setup a BP Meetup somewhere here for all the Australian BP fans.  

I'm Australian living in Missouri.

Yeah, but it's Australian money, so that doesn't really count.

They are not touting the returns, dad had to do extensive due diligence (both legal and financial) I guess it's the same as owning holiday rentals, as long as they keep the property up and the Australian tourism market keeps on keeping on, things should go OK.I'm pretty sure it's open for new money, that's what I was discussing with him last night.

I love working with builders – forgive me for using Australian words denoting contractors.In addition to the formal course I am currently going through the BiggerPockets podcasts and have just over a hundred left to listen.
