Hi James,

I answered your message. Do you live in the Netherlands?

Hi Ian, welcome, sure, let's connect and I'll keep you in the loop for the next meetings!

Hi Raul, welcome to BP, I will send you details on how to join.

Yes, you can refinance in the Netherlands, there are several investment banks (they usually ask for 30% down payment) or you can use crowdfunding platforms.

Welcome to BP! You are in the right place, you can meet our investors group in Amsterdam for our next meeting.

Regards,

Jen

I like to see properties with a rental income close to the 1% rule which is described on BP and other similar podcasts/books (monthly rent is 0.8%-1% from the property price). They are indeed hard to find especially if you try to source them from Funda, from my experience the network is the best way you can find better deals before the market.

If you find properties that do not cashflow perhaps you can think of a different strategy (eg. short term expat rental, student rental, etc) or a different city/location. I still see many investors getting very good deals even on this hot market. 

Elwin Klaver - yes, it went fine, we are connected. Erwin Groenendijk - we met in several places: Utrecht, Den Haag, Amsterdam so far.

I have sent you a colleague request, please accept, then I can send more details.

Yes, there are more people here from the Netherlands, we also meet regularly to discuss Real Estate Investing topics. You can join us if you want of course.

Hi Kathryn, I'm glad you found us here on BP, yes, the group is active, we meet monthly and have a discussion going on as well. This month there is no meeting though because I'm on holiday. Please send me a pm and then I'll add you to our groups. Regards, Jen
