@Joshua Beneventi Hi, my partner is currently doing research on & planning on buying in Lisbon soon, and would love to connect with someone with some expert knowledge of the area! Can I connect you two? (he doesn't have BP - please message me for contact info)

Hello, I am interested in learning about investments in Portugal! I'd love to get connected with investor friendly agents if you have any!? Thank you!

Thanks Brian and Dmitriy! I wanted to potentially avoid regular stocks & mutual funds because I already invest in the stock market separately...but I suppose it's not a bad idea here either.

Hi, I've just set up my Solo 401k, using funds from a previous employers retirement account. The current value is small: $12,500. I am struggling to find a way to utilize these funds in investments because the value is so small. Ideally, I want to grow they money large enough for a downpayment on a buy & hold (roughly $25-30k). I have no idea where to start or how to even find investments for such a small amount of cash.

Does anyone have any suggestions or have experience with small valued self-directed accounts?

Investment Info:

Condo buy & hold investment.

Primary residence condo house-hack with long-term rental & Airbnb

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

This was originally just a primary residence purchase, where I had a roommate move in with me (before the house-hack term was really a thing?). It's in a primary location of Denver, and has great potential - I keep on holding it as a long-term rental after I move out.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Denver's laws only allow you to Airbnb with your primary residence. This was a great experience, and very lucrative, but once I move out & buy a new house, I will be renting it long-term instead.
