Hello Everyone! Newbie here.
Hello Everyone! My name is Ben Thanyawatpokin and I'm looking to get into the real-estate investing game. I am based in Japan but originally a US citizen, thus I am more interested in the market in the US.
To be completely honest, I am more or less a complete newbie to everything. I've read a few books and gotten tips here and there, however to confirm my true newbie-ness, I am having trouble visualizing everything and how the process works. I understand the risks involved but actually working towards owning my first property is something that I am having trouble really "seeing" a path towards. In the coming weeks I will be reading these forums to get an idea of the process and if you could stomach my annoying questions, I would be more than grateful!
Thanks!
