New member from Amsterdam, The Netherlands

[Stefan Kalter]

Hi, I'm Stefan Kalter from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. I lived in several area's in the Netherlands in different stages of life. I was born in a little village near Amsterdam where I lived at a beautiful lake. Then I moved to Enschede where I got my Master's degree in Business Information Technology at Twente University. I started working in Enschede and moved to the beautiful city of Utrecht in the center of the Netherlands. I lived in the centre, only a hundred meters from the Dom tower and moved to a beautiful part of Amsterdam (near the Rijksmuseum, Museum square) a few years later and live there still.

I'm co-founder of Orange Pear (online property management software) and Grey Pear (large scale real estate investment services and management), both based in Amsterdam.

Privately I'm preparing for real estate investing in two years, both flipping and buy-and-hold. I gave myself two years to learn all there is about investing in real estate. You might think why I'm co-founder of a company that does exactly this? Well, I'm the software guy, my business partner does most of the investing. (he's Grey, I'm Orange...)

In business we'll be investing in real estate Q3-Q4 of 2016. Depending on the opportunities, we'll probably start with flipping and do buy-and-hold at a later stage, both in the Netherlands.

In my private time I enjoy playing field hockey, sailing/boating and doing all kinds of technology projects (Arduino, electronics, etc) 

I love technology, how it makes our lives easier and I love to combine this love with real estate.
