New Member - Bavaria, Germany

[Sebastian Koellner]

Hi there,

and thank you everyone for your active engagement on the site - listening to the podcasts and reading some of the posts has been a terrific education so far.

I am Sebastian Koellner, a German-American currently living in northern Bavaria, Germany. After moving around for quite a bit in the last years (Marshall Islands, Seattle, WA, Leipzig...), it is now time to treat my JOB as the vehicle to build a RE portfolio :) 

The goal over the next years is to build the cashflow to the equivalent of my paycheck, to gain the freedom of choice what we want to do with our time and where we want to spend our lives. We started with the equivalent of a small condo-rehab in Leipzig this year, which is now rented out. My wife and I are in the process of financing this unit (once my probationary period at the job is done with in December), to get our capital back out. Next step for 2015 - purchase at least one MFH and go from there... 

Anyone over here from Germany interested in connecting? As far as I could tell, we are - unfortunately - lacking such a great online community over here thus far... And, while we may move back to the US in the future, being closer to family for the next years is the current plan.

Seb
