Greetings BiggerPockets.com members!

I'm Josh Hyman, an Australian now living in Israel with my wife and baby boy. My wife and I are 25 years old. I've been jumping from j-o-b to j-o-b for a few years, also getting involved on the side with network marketing to no success unfortunately.
However, through Network Marketing I was guided towards 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad',as well as Napoleon Hill's 'Think & Grow Rich' which opened my eyes to Investing.

I have no experience, yet, in Real Estate investing but, as of writing this, I'm finishing an 18-meeting course on Real Estate Investing for beginners. While it's aimed at the Israeli Marketing, there are many tips which can be used in around the world.

My aim is to create a portfolio of passive income rental properties providing between $8000-$12,000 a month. I'm also in learning more about wholesaling and how to capitalize on this industry.

I do not have any degrees to my name, nor do I intend to pursue any.

I'm open to questions from any and everyone.

Looking forward to meeting you!

~Josh

Wow!! I wasn't expecting such a great welcome. Thanks to everyone :-D

@James Vermillion : I plan to start investing in Israel, hopefully being able to invest in Australia in the coming 4-5 years. I'm an Israeli resident, so hopefully I'll be in israel for many more years to come.

@Mehran Kamari : I'll make sure to check out that list when I've got my credit card next to me ready;-)... My wife is actually very supportive. As long as I don't lose our savings and get ourselves into debt, she's all for me pursuing a REI career.

@Annette Hibbler : I moved to Israel as a 19 yr old kid with the pure intention of simply living in Israel. So no connection to work... I'm actually unemployed at the moment so..we'll definitely be in touch regarding future options!

@Jon Klaus : As I answered to James, I intend to invest in Israel at the moment. ROI here is fairly low.. talking about 6-7% is seen as a good investment. However a decent apartment of 90-100 sq. metres can deliver anywhere between 2000-4000 ILS ($US550-$US1100) per month.

@John Moore : thanks for the welcome! I'm looking forward to learning a lot here!

Is any one aware of other investors in the Israeli or Australian Market? I would love to connect with such investors.
