A well balanced response.  You took the time to dig deeper and come up with more plausible explanation than just shining 'more' negative light on newbies.  More respect to you.  

Newbies are newbies for a reason.  Yes, some will stay newbies and some will move up.  

@Michael P.

Do you mean seasoned investors or seasoned contributors/specialists on this forum?

 It's still a good story.  Thanks Mike.

Thanks for sharing.  This meant more than your initial post.  Do keep stories coming as one of them may hit some of us and have a 'Aha' moment.  

 I am a newbie and I agree with your post about newbies are lost and overwhelmed.  I am guilty of that.  Sometimes newbies are so "new' and have so many questions and on top of that don't know how to navigate this platform that they start firing questions right away.  For seasoned investors sometimes they are so seasoned that they forget how newbies are.  There are still a few seasoned contributors here I see who are gracious and answer the (what I call) 'stupid, inexperienced, low informed newbies questions".  God bless them.  I understand people need to get something in return for advising others.  Then there are others who just help because they want to.  I am thankful for a BP member who is advising and helping me as I start my journey and has no expectation of anything in return.  Bill if you are reading this, just a shout out to you and others who are helping newbies.

Thanks for the tips but these tips are just general tips that probably most of us are already aware of.  What would be helpful are tips that go deeper.  Yeah, different markets are different, every investor's goal and situation is different.  What we want to hear is how you did it, your story, your experience.  In snippets if you would/could.  One story at a time followed by more stories.  Trust me, you will have no shortage of audience.  Now that, would be more meaningful, and helpful.

Plus the political climate of that foreign country, squatter issues, local laws, tenant rights, etc.

@Christian Busch

Is your forte pre-construction condos? What about pre-construction SFH? How do they compare and differ from pre-const condos? Would like your take on it. Thanks.

 I can share that with you privately.  Does your company has any (state) exclusions?

 Thank you Jeff.  And what is the trade off bypassing?  There has to be.
