Newbie investor living in Singapore

[Lisa Donaldson]

Hi everyone! I am an American living and working in Singapore and surrounding countries in South East Asia for over 5 years. I bought my first two SFH properties outside of Cleveland 2 years ago and I recently added a multi-family in Chicago to my portfolio.

I am definitely still learning the ropes and making good mistakes as I go. I've really been enjoying the podcasts, books and discussions on BP and learn something new every time I log in!

I've done all my deals 100% remotely (including signing loan documents at the U.S. Embassy!), so relationships are critical for me to be successful. I am looking to build some connections on BP with other like-minded investors. I am actively looking for my next deal and would be great to hear from people what markets they are investing in at the moment.

Hi @Mindi Rosser - I wish I had a backyard I could invest in! My biggest issue is that I don't have that local market knowledge of which neighborhoods are good/bad, so I am really relying on my realtor there (who I also have never met!)  

I like multi-families at the moment, I think there's better efficiencies and reduced risk. Are you finding any good ones in NW IN?! I'd be keen to explore how we might be able to work together once you get your real estate license! Let me know!?
