have you considered the option of making it you primary residence and renting out your current property for less of an out of pocket expense? also is their potential to spend a small realistic amount that would increase your rent to make the gap a bit more afordable? Also the option of getting a valuation of what its worth now and say what you could receive in rent after proposed changes could make it more realistic. Its a matter of crunching the figures and seeing if its viable.

best to contact your current bank in Australia as some have the option to open an account attached to your primary and have it in US dollars. Fees and charges apply depending which bank your with. good luck!

If what your trying to do is earn credit points on your creditcard, an option you have is to deposit all your earnings into your mortgage and live off your creditcard (earning credit points) and pay it in full out of your mortgage each month. You would have to get a loan set up that gave you that facility and also you would have to be quite diciplined to make sure less goes out than you put in!

Look at someone like GoGecko Real Estate (http://www.gogecko.com.au/) to list your property with as their commission is capped at $5950.00 (no matter what the sale price) They also have a calculator on their website to work out the comparable rate you would be charged by a traditional Real Estate Agent.
Because their rate is capped you can list your house at a price which would encorage buyers and help sell quicker, instead of what I have seen most people do which is ADD the commission onto the price they want for their house and in turn attracting les intrest in their property.
Good Luck!

I would recommend Nicole Marsh from Eureka Property buyers Agents ( http://www.eureka-property.com.au ) she understands what your after and also knows that sometime what you initially set out to find might not end up being the product you end up settling with. She is knowledgable and understands that people sometimes dont know where to start or what might be a good investment or not, but backs up all her reasons and is very through.

If I were you I would look at someone like GoGecko (http://www.gogecko.com.au/) to list your property with as their commission is capped at $5950 so you know it wont cost you any more than that no matter how much you want for your property , and also saves you all the running around. Also selling your property privately I could imagine would be time consuming ( even though I read you have time on your hands but as mentioned someone know someone who has ahd it on privatley for 8 months that is a long time to be waiting for a buyer!). I think its a small % of people would have the confidence to buy privatley and potentially you could be turning away a lot of potential buyers.
