Note investing from abroad?
Hi all, if I want to get into the small world of NPN investing, do you think I'm at a disadvantage living in Thailand? My family is split between here and the US so I am mostly up during US EST hours. My main concern is potential trust issues, and also perhaps legal hurdles (with wet signatures, etc. I do have an address in the US though)
Thanks

@Gary Dezoysa I've been investing in the US abroad from between Canada and Florida for about 5 years, and in notes for over a year now. There are a few logistical issues to be aware of such as having to get certain legal docs notarized, being setup to wire funds from anywhere and having a trusted boots on the ground team in your markets. Once you have this setup then you can virtually invest from anywhere. But as Jay mentions above, this is a VERY risky business and not for a beginner to jump into right off the bat. But with some education and doing a small deal to get your feet wet, or JV'ing with an experience Note investor is the best way to learn.
