Australian investor living in California

[Aaron Mercer]

Hi all,

I'm an Australian who moved to the Central Coast of California with my wife (and now 3 week old son) around two years ago for work (Winemaker) and am now looking to begin investing here.

I've been a member now for around 10 months but am only now posting my introduction after listening to most of the podcasts and reading many of the blogs and forum conversations. There is certainly a mountain of information on this site and many people who seem very willing to help. I hope to be a contributor in the future also.

My wife and I are young (32 yrs) and are looking to slowly-but-surely build an investment portfolio that will allow us to enjoy our retirement and maybe even shave a few years of our working life. We intend to do this with buy and hold SFRs in strong areas and one day live of the passive income.

I look forward to meeting you on the site.
