Well, the plan is to be living in Naperville in a year or so. I'm originally from the Chicago 'burbs, but currently living in the heart of Tokyo for the next 11 months or so. 

I was introduced to BP 6 months ago and have been hooked since. The fiancé and I plan on a house hack to begin our journey to financial freedom when we move back to the states. The goal is an accelerated "retirement" with the help of a combination of rentals and flips (both mid 30s).

I have a million questions, but right now I'm mostly curious of people's opinions on what they would do if they 100% knew they would be investing in a year. You are 3,000 miles from where you will eventually invest and you have 12 months to learn, do something with your money in the meantime, buy from afar, etc. What do you do? If you've got 2 cents, I'd love to hear it.

Arigatou gozaimasu! - that's thank you in Japanese. FYI.
