@Erwin Groenendijk, interesting. Have you been presenting your company on one of the meetups in Amsterdam? I think I was on that meeting, sounds like you or one of your colleagues was there.

Don't know at the moment, only people who invest in the Netherlands.

@Eric Gamble,

Will do when it comes up. Let me know when you're planning to make the step.

Best,

Chiel

Hi @Erwin Groenendijk,

Thanks for the advice and warm welcome! Yes, i'm already getting in contact with some connections from which I know that they are already in the real estate business. And have had a meeting with an local agent who will help me searching for a deal. 

I'm listening every morning to the BP podcasts, have not heard that one yet but probably it will be playing in the next weeks. I have already been once to the meet-up from Geert and if it fits my agenda, i will also join the next one again! Did you move to Spain for your investments? 

@Eric Gamble; thanks for the welcome! Finding deals is very hard at the moment, since it looks like everybody is investing in real estate now. You have to rely on your network is what i hear all the time, since it's so overheated. That's why i'm building up my network here locally to increase my chances on finding a good deal. Have you ever invested in Europe?

@Ruud Van de Beeten I will set-up a new group then. Can you PM me your phone number?

Hi everyone,

I'm Chiel, relatively new in REI. My background is in finance, accounting and currently working as CFO of an IT company. I'm 28 years old, just bought a new house for me and my girlfriend to live in and now looking forward to step into real estate investering.

I'm living in the Netherlands, in the eastern part (Deventer). My goals in real estate are to become financially independent by investing in rental units and probably later also in developing or rehab of buildings into apartments or houses. For this year, i've set myself a goal to buy at least two properties which have to generate me a cashflow of € 400,- per month.

What i'm currently looking for is just properties, since the market in the Netherlands is quite overheated. My strategy for this is:

- I have found contacts with an experienced financial advisor which will give me access to the investor market and who is an investor by himself.

- I have set up contacts with various real estate agents in my region

- I have joined some meet-ups and thinking about setting up my own in my city. 

I hope to find here more information about how to handle my investments, how to finance them and find other real estate investors in my region which I can meet. And looking forward to meet you all!

Hi! 

I'm new to Biggerpockets and active in the Stedendriehoek region, Apeldoorn, Deventer and Zutphen. Currently looking for my first property and seems that this is getting a go in the coming month or so. I would like to join the whatsapp group, is that one still active?

Or if it isn't active anymore, i can set up a new one? Anyone interested? @Tonnie Van de Werken / @Rinze Zeinstra and others?
