I am in the UK and agree with what Mortgage Hunter has said the only problem i have found is that every time i want to sign for the loan i have to fly to Australia to do this in person as i am not a resident.
This is the same with my own bank Westpac back and forwards so i try and do a couple of properties at the same time.Good Luck,
