Account Closed I think you asked this same question on the Aussie site... you may want to ask the question in a different manner.Would experienced US investors recommend someone from AU investing in 30k or under properties in big mid west towns and then trust PM to handle them for them while they live 6k miles from the properties.The running costs.. bad tenants , deferred maintenance etc etc will no doubt cut your cash flow projections severely.In my humble opinion since you live half way around the world you should concentrate on a small multi family or a premier SFR in a much better location than you will get as opposed in buying very low end basically ghetto properties.James sells some nice stuff in the 50 to 60k range,, you would be safer in those price ranges...People that make it work in 30k and under houses live in the market and its a personal hands on type of investment...
