New and eager to learn, Auckland New Zealand

[Elwin Van Wees]

Hey everyone, 

My name is Elwin, I joint Brandon for the weekly webinar last week, really enjoyed what I saw so thought I'd introduce myself today. 

I'm from Belgium but been living in New Zealand for the last 3 years. I arrived in New Zealand for work reasons, met my fiance and stuck around. We live in Auckland, with the plan of moving to Tauranga pretty soon. 

Ash is the reason I got interested in property investing. She made me read 'Rich dad, poor dad" and I've been researching ever since. Found Bigger Pockets on Youtube one day and signed up for the webinar, so here I am.

I'm a sales professional with 3+ years experience in direct sales and sales management. Currently looking to change careers. Get a foot in the door by actually working in the property sector and getting away from full commission so we can get a loan more easily. 

I already learned a lot from what I've seen on the site so far. Still working my way trough the Free Video Course by Brandon. Hope to find some more like-minded people in my area and build a good network. 

My plan is to become a full-time investor in the not so distant future, mainly because I truly believe the property sector will be able to fulfill my dream of being financially free (defined as: "To have enough passive income to service my lifestyle, so that I can work on projects I truly enjoy and to have the knowledge and experience to help other reach the same").

That's me in a nutshell, hope to hear from you guys.

Kind Regards,

Elwin
