Now the reason I can't buy properties for flips or rental because as a Muslim I can't get myself involved with the interest of any kind, so I am restricted in that manner.

Hey @India Lewis.

Think about places like Argentina, Cambodia, China, India, and plenty of other countries....maybe even this country.Some investors like buying D class in the hood, some investors wouldn't touch that. 

My husband & I own several businesses in India.

I am not new to investments, i have invested in realestate in India and SFH rentals in the US, but not income properties in the US.Can you clarify how i can find out how many people the property can be rented to?

I used Hubzu/Altisource's escrow and title, as they offered a discount and I was pleasantly surprised with how efficient they were, even though all their staff is outsourced in India. 

What are the requirements for other countries such as Australia/ India?

Another reason can be the neighborhood: such as expat area, Muslim/Malay/Chinese area (if the neighborhood is mostly inhabited by a specific ethnic group), residential area (if there is no offices or commercial establishment in the neighborhood), etc.5.

A friend of mine who does Airbnb full time like me has been training a VA in India and it’s $700/ month.

Only Malaysia and India have both the population size and low wages to take over as the next low cost producer.
