I would suggest you talk more with Engelo, just because he started from Australia and then moved to the US to start his company.  

Am starting out in the Fort Lauderdale/Miami areas and currently building a buyers list and looking for realtors.In the meantime I have some questions:1)  I understand that unlike in Australia, an agent can act as my agent for any listed or unlisted property?

Whereas our agent of preference nailed 3 deals for us while we were in Australia for a month.

I lived in New Zealand and Australia and sold on Lease Purchase once.See http://internationalliving.com/2014/11/renting-in-...

Hi All ,I recently made the move from Perth , Western Australia to Detroit Michigan to head a property investment company.

We are an Investment Company based in Australia. 

As lump sums become available, stick it into a buy and hold.Consider doing JV's also.Sorry but I don't know any other way than fix and flip lol, when I initially started building my portfolio in Australia I slaved away as a laborer and saved up $40k in cash which enabled me to buy fix, refinance and do it again.It was a recipe for disaster but I think that this can be a powerful strategy also if after refinancing the income still covers all expenses and some...Just my opinion.Thanks and have a great day.

Originally from Australia I still have difficulty resigning myself to the weather up here!!!

So many friends that I speak to when I go back to Australia say they wish they could do what I did.
