Hello BP community. I have been creeping the site for the past week or 2, and thought I should post in the New Member Introductions!
I am new to real estate investing, but have been researching casually for the past year, with a much bigger focus in the past month. I am trying to learn as much as I can, but I don't want to get stuck with paralysis by analysis.
I am currently looking at the option of investing in the US, but am unsure of the exact location (any suggestions?) One of the big topics I will be looking for on the forums are the issues with "cross border investing"
I have been absorbing the podcasts as fast as possible, as there is tones of great info and tips sitting in there.
I am sure I will be searching for / posting LOTS of questions to get things off on the right foot!
Thanks in advance,
Andy
