Hi Guys!

Just a bit of an introduction about myself.
My name is Jeremiah, 27 years old, married with no kids, and I will be a millionaire before I reach 30.

I know, a pretty bold statement from a newbie, but with a bit of help from this forum. I can make it happen. I just started researching about REI at the beginning of the year (2013). We are now in the process of building our own home. Made a few mistakes already (knowing this in hindsight before getting involved in BiggerPockets.com) but will rectify all that as I read through the forums and interact as well. At this stage, I am researching everything that I need to know about investing, but the hardest is not knowing what I don't know that I need to know. I am now in a point where I do not know what to research anymore because everything else seems to be similar already just different terminolgy. I do not know what to ask, because I do not know what it is that I should be asking. Apologies if this sounds confusing but I hope someone can understand where I am at the moment and give me an advise on what to do next. Thanks heaps in advance!

Hi Jeremiah O'Brien

Welcome to BiggerPockets!

Nice to see someone on the forums from Australia. I've done a lot of work with Australians over the years buying properties here in the U.S.

What is your strategy? I assume you have an idea of what you're trying to achieve, and maybe need guidance on "how".

I know the Australian market is super expensive, and the yields just don't compare to those found in the U.S. Which is why so many foreign investors look to the U.S. for better investment opportunities. Coincidentally, I just wrote an article this morning on the subject:

There is a lot of knowledge here on BP. Jump in and ask whatever questions come to mind. It's a good resource.

Continues success!
