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.

The hedge funds will have an impact, but no more than the Australians or the Chinese or the Canadians.

G'day MichaelI am also an Australian investing in US.

Normally this is very difficult to get done, but we've been able to help a number of Australian investors get their US bank account setup through HSBC.If you need a contact at HSBC, please email me and I can put you in touch with them and give you an overview on the process.

Buyers have been a combination of over 50 planning for retirement, average mom and pops, Australians, Japanese, Canadians, Russians.

It was recently sold to a Australian company.

It is quite pricey but if you can connect with someone who is genuine and has your interest at heart its definitely worth it.I lost a lot over $100,000 dollars in Australian real estate doing everything myself and making mistakes.

As an Australian, you have a big advantage that all your statements are in english which makes it much easier.We also handle loans from chinese nationals with very common name and we manage to make it happen...Best.
