Seoul based pure-bred Newbie from KC, MO area
My name's Josh McNicoll and I'm the first in my family to have not only been bitten by the real estate investing bug but also to have done something about it--my wife and I purchased our first (and so far, only) rental property here in Seoul, South Korea about 5 years ago. Pretty strange how things work out since I don't even own a property back home in Kansas City! Aiming to change that in 2015.
Right now, I'm teaching university students in Seoul English language classes and helping them build up their fluency. I have a similar goal here on BP--to build up my fluency in real estate investing. My ultimate aim is to build a portfolio of rental properties that provide financial stability and independence.
Last weekend, Brandon Turner Skyped-in to our Seoul Real Estate Investing club and I think that was what really made me realize that even though we are all over the world, we can still help each other and offer support. Hope I can help you all out in the future. Right now though, I could use a helping or two.
Meeting some of you active investors and hearing from you wherever you are (Kansas City, Seoul, or elsewhere!) would be great.
All the best for 2015.
Josh
