New member: intrigued and willing

[Faaiz Khan]

Hey, my name is Faaiz and I have moved to US  from UK in 2014. I have a digital marketing / tech entrepreneurship background, and have had my successes in the tech space. I have however always been a creative person, and loved art, theatre and handiwork around the house.

While I still engage with startups and tech at various levels, I have found my curiosity building for property investing in USA. This whole thing started last year, when a long time friend and mentor asked me to help him with his 500 acre new development near Kansas City. At that time, I was looking to build a REIT to own a property portfolio for my family's future stability.

Long story short, I realized why pay millions of dollars buying properties when you can build your portfolio with conservative dollars. Hence I am here to find out more about how real estate investing works, how I can build a portfolio with little money down (dip my toes before diving in) and in the process, engage myself too.

I hope this website / forum / blog proves to be helpful in advancing my goals to that end.
