Student from Germany

[Philipp Buhr]

Hi everybody,

my name is Philipp and I'm a new member from Germany. I've been listenings to a few podcast episodes so far and this is my first day on the actual BP website.

I'd be very interested if there are a lot of fellow Germans around here. I tried using the search to get to you guys but I seem to have screwed up my ZIP entry when signing up. Not really sure what to fill in since it's made for US users.
Some of you already posted in search for other German investors but this doesn't give me a good feel for how many are actually are out there.
Could you guys maybe just tell me what your impression about that is?

Also there is something else you can help me out with.
I'm only 21 years old, right in the middle of studies (construction engineering actually, so this is quite a cool link to Real Estate).

How old were you when you started your investing career?

If there are any investors who started out as young as I am now, what were your primary challenges? Any important tips?

I'm looking forward to any replies

Thanks a lot
