Welcome. 

Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info. Here you will meet wholesalers who provide deals and rehabbers (cash buyers). Find them through Google and meetup.com

Two Great reads, I bought both J. Scott The Book on Flipping Houses, The Book on Estimating ReHab Costs http://www.biggerpockets.com/flippingbook

Consider checking out HUD homes for small multi's owner occupied gets first crack.

You might consider Niche or Specialized Housing like student housing. Rents can be 2-4 times more. Remember you don't have to own a property to control it.

Download BP’s newest book here some good due diligence in Chapter 10. Real Estate Rewind Starting over

I just moved from Korea back to the States. I used to teach in Gyeongju and Cheonan.

Where do you teach?

I also started the Seoul REI Meetup with @Daniel Ryu

They still meet monthly in Seoul.

If you haven't read the Ultimate Beginner's Guide, and also setup your Keyword alerts for things you want to know more about.

 Wow! That is awesome I will check it out! I live and work north of Seoul in Goyang, Ilsan to be exact. How long were you in Korea?

I did just finish that guide, it waas very informative,  especially the financing part. Thanks for reaching out!

Hi BP community. I'm introducing myself from Seattle because that is the market I know and am interested in investing in. However, I live in South Korea currently where I teach English. 

I've been out of college for two years now, but I initially got interested in real estate after taking an economics course. Since then, I've visited banks to get information about requirements for loans, I've partially completed online real estate training courses (discontinued when I moved to Korea). I’m spending my free time researching this industry so that when I return to the States I can invest in my own property. I am looking for knowledge and partnership on this site.

Hey Ben,

I was just looking at HomePath homes. You only need to put 5% down and they can even assist with closing costs if you take some time to do an online course. It's a good way to get a cheap property but they go off the market quickly. I've been scoping out the properties on there but they don't stick around that long. Check it out they have good deals for downtown properties, though typically they are no larger than 2  units.
