Newbie from Minnesota, Virginia, and Puerto Rico
Hello BP Members,
My name is Scott Christensen and I am originally from St. Cloud, MN. I have two investment properties in Virginia, but am interested in building my portfolio with properties in Minnesota and Puerto Rico. Mainly because I wish to split my time between where my wife is from, Puerto Rico and where I am from, Minnesota. I currently live in Japan.
I found Bigger Pockets while researching the real estate market online, and after reading several posts, and listening to a few podcasts, I decided to join the community.
The biggest challenge facing me right now is low capital and my location. I will be in Japan for three more years, so I am trying to find out how to invest in properties remotely.
I hope to both share and learn with the community here on BP. Thank you for taking the time to read.
Sincerely,
Scott Christensen
