Hi all... a rooming/boarding house owner in Melbourne Australia, wanting to connect to investors who invest in New Zealand as I am exploring that option.

You've got to build trust with the person you're talking to and if you have a tough time doing it virtually, then go with what works for you.I have clients all over the world, from Australia to Italy to Liberia as well as all over the US from California to Florida and Michigan to Texas.  

As an international investor located in Australia I have only just been made aware of the situation.

I call that the "Buy and Hope" strategy...doesn't work so wellEven here in Australia where the market is booming on the east coast, we still do not purchase properties unless we are able to manufacture our own growth through rehab, subdivision, strata titling, significant property discount etc. 

I currently have a vacation to Australia booked for June 5th through the 18th, hopefully I'm fully recovered from the jet lag by the time the 20th comes along.

Hi All,I'm asking this question for someone who lives in Australia and plans to move here to New York within the next year or two. 

We are San Diego natives (but actually currently based in Sydney, Australia for 2 years) so planning to invest outside our local market. 

[I live in Australia, so am not too conversant with your Tax laws - but I still expect them to make SOME sort of sense].

I am a US citizen who lives in Australia.

Interesting that if you google more about this you can find a ton about the Chinese blowing up the housing market similarly to how they've raised the property rates in Australia beyond what's affordable.
