I am available for contact over the phone or zoom, give or take the time zone differences.

I invest in a small city in Southern Indiana that is approximately 45 minutes away from me (one way) and in a different time zone (they are an hour ahead).

If anyone is interested in sharing knowledge about real estate in general (or the US East Coast market), comment and we can set up a Zoom meeting - preferably mornings or early afternoon ET time zone as I am in London! 

I understand the broader demographics of these markets but still very much in the early phases of delving deeper though I must say Cleveland has definitely shown some early appeal.Other Costs - I'm just looking for a general idea of what to expect on this front of things, things such as land tax (if the US has it), Stamp Duty (again if it exists), insurances (required/desired), management fees (I want a property manager in place due to time zones/distance/peace of mind), etc, etc.Finding a Team - This is one of the harder parts, I'm not averse to a trip to America for some research later in the year (if Australia ever opens its damn borders again!)

I feel like I should be investing in Canada or the US as I'd like to be closer to my deals when I move back in a couple of years.However, there's a part of me that. is horrified at the prospect of buying RE in a totally different continent and time zone!

I did everything from find the deal to installing kitchen cabinets, all while I was working with teams in different time zones and customer needs in my "day job".It does get better.

It typically comes on Saturday nights around 9:00 eastern time zone A&E <- cable channel

Pretty hard to have the control you local guys have in each of your markets when your 5 states away and many time zones away..

I am sure I am probably losing some quality applicants who would prefer to chat it up on the phone first, but I am very happy with the last two tenants that we placed and it has made life very much easier for me, especially considering the fact that my properties are 3 timezones away.

I have some experience with investing at a distance given there are 11 time zones between the two ends.
