Hi my name is Takashi. I am a father to two beautiful kids (a 2 year old and a 3 month old). My wife and I have decided this year that we wanted to take steps towards achieving financial freedom. We have attended various webinars, information sessions and seminars and are looking to get started on property investment. My wife and I are both US citizens (from Columbus, OH) and would eventually like to look into buying investment property there. However, since our primary residence is here in Auckland, we are looking to get started in NZ first. We are novice investors so any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome aboard, Takashi, I'm also new to the BP Forum and US Citizen living in Central Otago NZ. have been investing in NZ for over a decade but now seeking more cash-flow opportunities in the US.mainly in Memphis and Possibly later on in Texas.
