I hope you enjoyed your time in my home country (although I am now based in Japan).Obviously you will find the prices in Atlanta much more reasonable than Australia, even accounting for recent gains in Atlanta attributed to large funds buying up inventory.If you are selling a place in Perth when you move back maybe you have timed the top of the market!

Actually I'll also be buying deeds all over the country in the coming years.Happy to answer your questions.

I am currently using my own money to buy, hold, and sell all over the country.

In many parts of the country, hard money is closer to 15% and 5 points.

I worked for 3 years in Alabama.I purchased a Single Family House with cash, I lived there for 1.5 years.I come back to my home country (Italy) in 2011 then I rented out the house.Now I want to buy another rental property.I believe this forum is a good point to start with.

The access road/driveway and everything inside the gated community are maintained and completely funded by our own, solely by using the cash from the collected HOA dues, we don't accept public money. 2. that our country's law does not permit the HOA to put lien or foreclose the houses that are behind with their HOA payments.

Oil is cheap on the world market but expensive here because we buy in dollars.Russian and China used to use the dollar as their exchange medium between their countries, now they use the Yuan.

If in deed the market was strong and the sale at that prices was reasonable to expect during the build time.. currently in our market in PDX virtually every new construction is sold during the build phase and will close within a few week so of the CO being received from the county.I would be interested to hear from builders across the country if they would do a deal like this or if they would think its too tight and or think its a bigger than normal profit.JLH

They have some of the BEST wholesalers and rehabbers in the country in that area.

I started here about four months ago and have made awesome connections around the country and learned a significant amount by reading other's successes and failures.Good luck with your REI plans.
