Now, I've taken a quick business trip there for 1 day recently and I'm aware that the northern part of the city is not really "culturally mixed" if that's ok to say.. 

I was just trying to have something quick for figuring out cash flow for properties I was analyzing

Compared to NY, annual taxes are pocket change and appreciation is happening very quickly.

I would encourage anyone even seeking information about potential projects to visit in person and not be dissuaded by horror stories about the process.Thanks to @Michaela G. and @Rick Baggenstoss for their helpful advice!

Because I am having trouble finding one and I see that so many  people seem to find one pretty quickly

@Hunter Eidmann rentals should rent quickly at market rent.

If it makes sense he can close quickly.

What a small world I didn't think I would find someone on the forums from Adelaide so quickly, especially someone who has made the move over at similar age!  

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can quickly build my buyers list so I can start moving properties?

I am glad I made the switch, but now I am moving on to other segments in the commercial real estate market after being encouraged by my investor partners to do so.
