Aussie Rebel:
 

I have served with Australian Soldiers and developed respect for there fighting capabilites. I have also been fascinated with Australia, though I have never visited the country.

I have a couple of questions for you if you can answer them.

#1: If I moved to Australia can I a US citizen buy land?

#2: Do you have any idea what size cattle ranch one would have to have (number of cattle and acreage) to earn a living? Just earn enough to stay ahead of the curve. And what would the cost be for a ranch of this size in US dollars? Also what is the exchange rate.

#3: Are there many ranches for sale?

of course you can buy land, i doubt if any country restricts this right.

if this is a way to spend more time with cows and goats we have less expensive solutions! :winkwink:

CAN FOREIGNERS REALLY OWN PROPERTY IN MEXICO?
Yes, Americans and other foreigners may obtain direct ownership of property in the interior of Mexico. However, under Mexican law, foreigners cannot own property outright within the restricted zone. Instead, a real estate trust must be set up to hold title for the foreigner. Since foreigners are not able to enter into contracts in buy real estate, they must have a bank act on their behalf, much as a trust is use to hold property for minors because they also can not contract. The following is a brief outline of the law regarding such trust, known as "fideicomisos", but potential buyers should always get advice and have all real estate transactions overview by a licensed Mexican attorney.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you want to move to Australia because you respect the way Australian soldiers fight?

Thats an odd reason for wanting to move to another country....

no chance here...

Hi Pathfinder, Yes I'm pretty sure you can buy land over here, The japanese nearlly own most of Queensland,
And with cattle farming it depends on what you do, do you want to grow beef or do you want a dairy farm? I know dairy farmers that do well with 400 acres and 200 head of cattle,
and yes there a 1000's of farms for sale over here ,
I hope I have answered what you need to know, If not hit me up on icq #155915465

cheers

I wanna go!!! I have experience in farming and ranching :Graucho Man, I miss it! Dont move to Florida,, All I have seen here is little bitty anerexic cows :uhoh

Many countries do actually. The United Arab Emirates is at least one. And i'm fairly sure of a few others, but not 100 percent, so i won't mention them and later be proven wrong, thus making a huge ass of myself :winkwink:

vidsweb:

You are wrong. Read my original post again.

Aussie Rebel:

Thanks for the info though it is limited. I would want to raise beef cattle. You have to get up to early in the morning to have dairy cows.

Hot Tropical Babes:

I think you are female, so I don't think my wife would be very happy about it.

i can't imagine an aussie farm being too expensive when up against the US dollar.

US$245k

Hi Pathfinder.

I have a friend in the Navy, who often works with both the the US Navy and Army, and he says the same thing about you guys! I guess there is a mutual respect :thumbsup

As for your questions:

Yes, you can buy land. However, each state has different laws regarding running a business. I suspect you may have problems getting a business license. You may need to become an Australian citizen.

You can find info at http://www.immi.gov.au/ maybe email them with your questions.

As was stated, goto http://www.realestate.com.au and look under rural for an idea of prices. The conversion to US$ is made by multiplying the AUS price by 0.55

Good Luck with it.

that law is pretty new,they made it when they learned that Labret is planining to move there

Thanks for the links and info guys. I am surprised to learn that the exchange rate is that low, or high, depending on the view point. I would have thought that Aussie money would be stronger against the $.

Pathfinder, its very hard to get into AUS these days. I had an American gf who was trying to move here, but no luck.
The goverment has also cut off backdoors into the country such as New Zealand.
The AUDollar is very weak against the US dollar..which is great for webmasters :)

Sloane:

If I remember correctly (which I may not) at some point in time in my life Australia actually would pay you to move there. Since when has it become difficult and why?

Pathfinder, I recall after WWII they would pay the British to come here and settle. But things have changed alot since then. Now the government is trying to keep people out.

As for reasons, I guess there are many. I know the major thing at the moment would have to be Ethnic related crime. Its seems to be popular with the media right now.
Also the goverment it too generous with handouts, which means way too many country shoppers.
