Hi and shalom timer :) all the best!

Auction.com seems to be a good choice (never bought though, only looks fresh and neat). Also, you always have BP :)

Good luck

Try the online route. The recent BP podcast about wholesalers specifies the advantages of knowing it is a numbers game, so bid a lot!

I checked out auction.com and it's pretty neat, go ahead and take a look.

Good luck!

My 2 cents will be, try and accurately asses the keywords you are targeting (use the free Google keyword planner), notice that the higher CPC for a keyword, usually means harder to rank organically. And don't forgot the inbound quality links will always carry value.

Gl!

Loved the 2nd point :)

Hey @Andrew P.,

As a rule of thumb, a commercial loan 'mortgage' will get you far less better terms than an individual one. I did not know about the 400k part though, is it the only bank you've approached?

Thanks @Rachelle Rodavia!

Congrats for both achievements! Seems like a good start for you. Keep at it.

Hi and good luck investing! 

Love Greece and surely see the appreciation value, but beware and remember to make the money going in.. I am too interested in vacation rentals in europe, are you already in the game? Do you plan on doing so remotely?

Guyoz here from Jerusalem, Israel.

Been lurking around for quite some time, loving the info and especially the podcasts! As for anything, it's true that taking the plunge and join the discussion will always be better than be a passive user, I know this from personal experience in different subjects (and common sense).

My main business is a performance based internet marketing company. Naturally, we always strive to promote better and bigger products and ideas, real estate seems to be a natural progress and sort of an 'end game' (though there is always a next step).

Being successful in marketing, the idea of promoting short term vacation rentals is appealing, having a higher return while getting into the deep water of RE and hospitality. I think that if things take a 'bad turn' I could always find long term tenants as an exit strategy. Currently I am browsing europe looking for good RE opportunities, only to find out that short term regulations is getting more difficult with time. 

I know that starting off with first purchases near where I live is a rule of thumb, but the prices in Jerusalem / TelAviv are really on the peak, making average yield very low and barrier of entry high. Not ruling anything out though.

Overall, in it for the long run, interested in buy to hold, making the money when going in, understanding structural taxation better (will be investing via an LTD) and international investments. 

Thank you for all the help and information up until now. Looking forward being an active member here on BP!
