Hi,

I have only just registered on here and am already amazed at how much great info and opportunities seem to be spread all over the forums. It only adds to the excitement of my real estate investing ambitions.

My name is Stijn, I have just migrated to the US (initially to Vegas but moved to Reno now). My wife and I were forced to buy a property with cash because she is upside down on a Vegas property and I didn't have any credit history or job so it would have been impossible to get a mortgage.

Now that we have moved to Reno, got our house and found tenants for our house in Vegas I am starting to look at creative ways to take advantage of this real estate situation that's currently out there. I am pretty old fashioned in my views of the real estate market, consider it very safe (which it is much more in Europe than it is here) and generally the best investment for the long term.

It is our goal to build a portfolio of rental properties that generates some instant cash flow but due to lack of funds right now I may even consider trying my hand at Lonnie deals. I will post another topic where I will ask for some general financial advice.

This is getting too long so I will leave it at this, I hope to pick up lots of info from this community and hope to give it back when I have been able to get some experience myself.

Have a great day, I'll be all over the forums for the next few months I'm sure.
