Newbie from ireland

[John Wilson]

Hey all, Happy to join this community and looking forward to learning and helping where I can. I have run my own business for 6 years successfully and I am now looking to get into real estate. I am from Ireland, a growing market.

John, my husband has roots in Ireland and we visited there in 2003. It is a beautiful country, full of fascinating people. At the time, there seemd to be a housing boom and people were building Tuscan villas and weekend homes all over the countryside, but we heard that things got tough after that with lots of properties standing vacant. It's good to hear that things are looking up again. Like you I am investing outside the US so the value of BP is mostly in the blog posts and podcasts, not so much the networking and marketplace. Still, I find that connecting online with other passionate real estate investors is enormously inspiring and energising, and I wish you a good, long association with the community! Happy investing!
