Purchase price: $406,000 Cash invested: $52,000 This townhouse is actually overseas, based in South Australia.

Add another $2,000 -$3,000 in expense, if you need an attorney and and another $1,000-$2,000, if you need any type of exhibit drawing for Planning.

I am a university student from Australia who is looking to buy a multifamily property in the Ohio, Pennsylvania, Upstate New York region within the next few months.

While notes are secured by real estate, they still exhibit significant risk. 

I just saw where Australia's latest Treasury auction offered negative rates. 

Now, go to the clerk of courts and file a motion to cancel sale you explain in the motion that you are attempting to do a short sale and the lender is aware and acknowledged your request for assistance attach the package and the Acknowledgement email as an exhibit and file the motion.

It also padded the runway for me to check off any number of items on my dream list if I wanted to go after those, including traveling to Australia for a few months or maybe taking several side adventures such as exploring Belize, Mexico, Europe, or traveling around the US to visit friends.

I am living in Perth Australia.

The challenge will be getting a prosecuting attorney to care.We helped a client from Australia pursue a local scammer here in the Detroit area that stole $125k+.

I've seen something similar used back in Australia to secure drywall to cement block walls.
