I have investor clients from Germany to Australia and would be glad to assist you.  

I have owned realestate previously in Australia however am a new investor here in the USA.

@Hadar Orkibi I was wondering if you had seen the chart below and if it is similar in NZAustralia Warned To Prepare For "Severe Housing Collapse" And "Banking Crisis"“Australia’s housing market is a source of vulnerabilities due to elevated prices and related household debt.

., Singapore or Australia, to name only a few.

Zoning allows for 4 residences but this would have to be multi story which is not where we wish to go.Our plan is to construct a duplex targeting the affordable housing market using innovative materials and construction techniques that will end up providing very energy efficient houses.This is the first and with everything going well our intention is to "rinse and repeat".We are looking for some funding support to bring the project to fruition as funding from Australia is not a viable option with the current $AUS-US exchange rate.Any ideas would be much appreciated

I've spent the last 13 years of my life in a 3' x 4' area staring at six monitors and executing trades over online platforms and other trading Desks in NY, Chi, London, and Australia (I am in MI).

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.
