The United States runs the largest property market on earth, roughly $142 trillion in value, and over 60% of Americans rent. That gap between demand and supply is exactly what makes it a cash-flow machine for foreign investors. The best part for Australians: there’s no stamp duty and no foreign buyer tax.
Step 1: Understand why the US is a ‘cash flow’ market
Australia is a growth-and-stability market. The US, especially the Midwest, is about income. A $650,000 tenanted multi-family property can generate around $7,000 a month in rent against a $2,594 mortgage, roughly $2,900 net positive cash flow every month, or about a 12.6% cash-on-cash return.
Step 2: Know your financing
American lenders offer up to 75% finance to qualifying foreign investors. That leverage, combined with strong rents, is what makes the returns work. You control a large income-producing asset with a modest deposit.
Step 3: Choose the right asset type
Multi-family is treated as a commercial product: its value rises as rents rise. So as your tenants’ rents grow, the asset itself becomes worth more; you’re compounding on two fronts at once.
Step 4: Get the structure and location right
This is where solo investors stumble. The wrong state, the wrong tax structure, or the wrong neighbourhood can quietly erode returns. Grit is fully licensed in the US, with an on-the-ground team pulling live data down to the street level.
