Hello and "guten Tag" from germany

[Christoph Kremer]

Hello my name is Christoph. I am from germany and I am new to BP and real estate investing. I have never owned a piece of real estate before and I am determined to change that in the future. Once I started searching for forums to learn about real estate I immediatelly stumbled upon BP and I am impressed with the wealth of content on this site. I have already learned alot through articles and podcasts and I can't wait to learn more.

I am still a bit hesitant to start my real estate venture, because of uncertainties regarding my job. I am still in some educational programs (phd and mba) and the employment contract with my university runs out in 06/2015, which might hamper any attempts to secure a traditional loan. Nevertheless I would like to start out before I am finished with my phd and thus I am currently looking into financing options.
