From Switzerland to New York City! - Hello BP Community

[Yoav Hougui]

Hi everyone,

My name is Yoav. I'm originally from Switzerland but I've been living in NYC for 6 months now. 

I want to invest in real estate and I'm just getting started. I discovered BP through the podcast, which led me to a lot of material to listen and read through. I'm actually finishing 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' right now and I understand why it's had such an impact on many of you. 

The reasons I'm interested in RE: 

1) I want to start investing early. I'm in my early 20s, lucky enough to be debt-free. Telling myself I need to start now is one thing, doing it is another. Hopefully, this introduction will be one more 'push' for me to get started.

2) I like to work with people.

3) RE feels more 'real' and engaging than the stock market.

4) I want the financial freedom.

What do you think? Any other book recommendation? Any NYC area investors out there? Feel free to comment/connect/say hi!

Looking forward to our discussions.

Hey @Yoav Hougui! Welcome to the city. 

I moved here from Switzerland 2.5 years ago as well and bought my first apartment (primary residence) last year. I hope to get to multi-family houses in the next 18 months.

There are a ton of books! At the end of every podcast, the guest speaker recommends couple books. I have bought many different ones and found most of them very helpful but it depends what you're looking for exactly...

Hit me up if you want to connect!

Cheers,

Sandro
