Hi Penny, depending on the project, you could look at country-specific platforms, for example Lendinvest in the UK, or for a global platform, you could check out Wealth Migrate.  

It's a gamble.

Of course being outside the US for a while you undoubtedly already know there’s additional complexity associated with other tax issuesOne thing you might run into if you sold any of the rentals at a gain is whether your country of residence also taxes them due to being on a worldwide tax system (UK, Japan, and China are a few examples where this might occur but this is not likely to occur in most other countries).

Especially if you're getting help to do it.That said if you don't plan to use your degree in the relevant field going into debt to do so seems like an unnecessary gamble. 

I run a Trading Services Company NW UK and am now looking to invest/partnership in with another investment company, anything considered but must be up and running, so expansion or similar considered.

Trading the big banks is just gambling on headlines at this point.

If you were a seasoned investors and knew all the risks you might encounter, that is a gamble you might want to take. 

You can still name only large properties on the first list and gamble that the other property will close within the 180 day window of the first sale so you can use both in the purchase.  

I took a gamble and lost haha.

Much like in the stock market trying to “time” the market is simply a gamble unless you have a crystal ball.
