BP has a podcast that was done years ago with a guest who wholesaled virtually from Australia sorry can't remember the episode so you have to do some digging.

Hello I have been enjoying all of the Bigger Pockets content and I thought Id seek any advice you all may have on investing in US property from Australia.

As Paul Hugh Clitheroe, Australia's best-known financial adviser said: “Before you start trying to work out which direction the property market is headed, you should be aware that there are markets within markets.”A quick Case Study:I got up one morning when a fresh deal was waiting for me in my inbox, coming from one of my wholesalers with whom I’ve developed a good working relationship .It was a fully occupied six units apartment located in Maine, When I looked at the numbers, everything was just what I wanted.

@Mark Anderson Side-note: when I spent some time oversees I found a lot of landlords do not provide appliances (New Zealand and Australia in particular).

My fiance and I are currently based in Australia and exploring our options to get involved in USA Real estate.Currently exploring some approaches and how we can get involved over in the USA.
