    Does anyone know about accessing money for VERY positive cashflow properties outside of Australia say in the US or Africa?

    In general,

    unless you have sufficient assets [security] in Australia to finance an offshore property via an Australian lender – subject to foreign regulatory approval and filing requirements;

    are a permanent resident of the country of interest with sufficient assets [security] in that country;

    or have a registered corporate entity with sufficient assets [security] in the country of interest,

    it can be very difficult acquiring property in a foreign country.

    The fact that the properties offer “VERY positive cashflow” is of little or no benefit.

    Being a dual citizen helps

    Even as a “dual citizen” it is likely the factors I have highlighted will come into play – unless you permanently reside in the country where the property is being acquired.

    Hey GI,

    My mother sells Aussie and South Afican investment properties and she knows all the details of how it all works. If you want I can send you her contact details, she might be able to shed a bit more light on the subject.

    Cheers

    Henry
