They are queued up and I am shopping them long before they hit the MLS or Zillow or Trulia. 3) Tell me what you are actually looking for when you call.

Would lenders in the US be willing to lend to foreigners living and working overseas and would Australian lenders be willing to lend for the purchase of an overseas property.Also, does anyone know if my sister will still be able to claim losses from her American investment property against her personal income tax?

Hey guys, Firstly thanks to everyone involved in this site including everyone posting on the forums - I've been lurking for a month or two, learning heaps and finding a lot of inspiration.I'm not on the ground in Pitt...

I noticed that I could replace my income by doing this full time, so my wife and I up and left the so called "lucky country" (so called by most Australians, Engelo will know what I'm talking about) and decided to settle down in Scottsdale AZ and finally make this our full time job.Haven't looked back since and haven't lost money on a deal yet thanks to the knowledge and experience of my partner. 

I listen to a lot of audiobooks and podcasts and after exhausting all of the available Australian titles I recently purchased "the book on rental property investing" by Brandon Turner.

You have far more to contribute than simply cutting and pasting the same reply.Mattia,this scheme was prevalent in the Baaken oil fields in North Dakota and marketed heavily to Australians.. the projects were abject failures with total capital loss's.you simply want to make sure who ever your doing this with is VERY strong financially.

I wrote an e book a few years back for Australians on how to navigate the world of buying form Turn Key companies or just buying in the US in general.

Hi,Im Australian and have just started my journey to financial freedom by choosing to become a property investor.

now in the good times that's not an issue but if things get tight it is.. and I can pretty much guarantee with Michigan RE this could happen if things get a little rocky.a Long term fixed 30 year loan CANNOT be called.. and you can make extra payments etc.Be cautious using a personal resi though make sure your rental is solid .. many foreign investor got pretty well duped by shysters selling them ghetto Detroit properties for huge inflated values.. and many of these folks ( mainly Australians ) mortgaged their homes only to find out the 80k home they bought in Detroit was really only worth 10k   LOL..

I know Australian investors cannot deduct personal home mortgage interest, but can deduct interest on an investment mortgage if it was purchased with a Heloc.
