Hi,
I believe there are a number of places to invest in the US. I think that both Orlando, FL and Atlanta, Georgia have good long term prospects. I myself have invested in Florida and am happy with the returns and long term potential. Like anything, it is important to do research and like anything, location is key.
Regards.

Hello,
Yes, there are many issues in the US – but compared to the cost of doing business here – it can be a good option for Aussies. Stamp duty alone here can be around $25K – that is half of a townhouse or maybe a condo in the US. Call me if you want to know some information.
