A quick hello from a dreamer trying to change his life!

Robin Brown

Heya all, 

Just popping in to say Hi. My name is Robin, I have started the big old crazy journey to finding financial freedom so I can focus on my passions more (Filmmaking and enjoying parenthood). I came across BP through 'the book on rental property investing' I am still making my way through it all but I have spent quite a bit of the last 6 months trying to learn as much as I can about financial freedom. I am from Melbourne Australia so struggling a little to comprehend the different housing market down here in OZ. It seems to be astronomically different from what I have read in this book and the book 'one rental at a time' (along with things like rich dad poor dad etc) But keen to see all the pieces of the puzzle come together as I learn more.

I have ZERO experience in property, I invest in Shares and Crypto and my partner has a 1 bedder (120k owing) that we rent out, We were looking to buy a home for ourselves but the market seems ridiculous atm and anything we had liked (small 3bedder single family home) I just don't think is worth 900+K and pushing our loan plus repayments to the max. So I then began looking into a potential smaller 2/3 bed townhouse/apartments to live in for a few years before renting out and buying a family home. Then I started the deep dive into trying to understand property investing as I thought there must be a way to get ahead in this world. I hope to learn more through the forums and books that I read, and maybe in turn be able to provide some help to other newbies in the distant future! So that's a quick hi and hope to chat to more of you over the course of my investing journey. :)
