    I have been browsing the bigger pockets forum lately and the prices seem so much lower with much higher rental yields, much better profits etc, whereas here people are paying $1million + with yields that don't cover the mortgage.. some of the stores could be advertisements etc? But is it worth looking at investing in the U.S. Is anyone currently doing this?

    Thanks for the mention @Karina

    Yes @Alex123711

    The US rental Yields are significantly higher. Depends on the State, City one is looking to target. For most investors investing outside their Local area can be daunting, some can stretch interstate and other can take it international. It has the risks and the returns can be great at the same time.

    Whilst the yields on paper are higher is true a lot of investors also can also get burnt when they do not do their due diligence on Location, Price, Tenant Selection etc.

    Bigger Pockets forum is a great place to start looking - there could be information overload as well :)

    All the Best,
