@Shawn Kalakota  not to disagree with you but no all of Aussie land has performed that way.. there is price correction going on in Western AU right now  Perth.. their economy tied to mineral extraction which is down.Eastern is about like you say.. although one being a US citizen would want to look at tax implications.. its not like US and don't think there is ability to 1031 if you make a big move up.although I like the paying rent every week like they do there and no check's every one has electronic banking so its not the weak renter we have in the US rental markets. 

I like gold miner stocks, my IRA is now loaded up with almost nothing else.   

I was looking at a 7 plex in Mineral Wells that needs 3 units finished, but I'm worried about finding the crew to get it done.

Real Estate Investing is still a passion and path of mine.

We also have mineral acreage which is a type of real estate at the core but that's an oil/gas investment in my opinion.

I have spoken with many serious Bitcoin investors on this, because i myself was once upon a time a bitcoin miner myself, were talking way back pre-fork way way back.

I had an apartment of mine rented in 12 hours this past week with a $50 rent increase that didn't make anyone bat an eye.

In Europe it was sold under the trademark Eternit - made up from the words eternal and ending on -nit as many minerals do.

@Charlie Miner if you can qualify for it without your home being fully rented then this probably won't be too much of a problem.  

Quote from @Michelle Miner: I am currently TRYING to close a deal with them... not sure if it is going to cross the finish line.
