Enthusiastic New Member!
Hello fellow investors,
To introduce myself briefly I am an Australian who was recruited to the US 6 years ago on a Division 1 soccer scholarship. I have a passion for entrepreneurship/ business and investing. I currently own a property in Sydney (which is doing very well thanks to a booming market).
Reasons for being here:
1. Im intrigued by "wholesaling" and currently have my eyes on a property where Id like to take my first step in investing locally through this method.
2. Looking to spend my weekends with an experienced investor who would be open to let me watch, learn and take in as much information as I possibly can.
3. To prove to myself and others that you can start investing in real estate with none to little capital up front.
4. I am driven, motivated, and eager to learn!!
Look forward to hearing from some of you.
Blake

Hi Blake!
Great to have another Aussie on Bigger Pockets! I'm from Sydney originally, but working as a property manager in Vancouver, Canada at the moment.
Keep everyone posted on your progress, I'd be interested to learn about your investing journey from an Australian's perspective and the differences it has to the investing process at home.
All the best!
Sam
