I’m interested in connecting with investors who want to explore remote investment opportunities (internationally), especially in Europe, and specifically in the Netherlands.I firmly believe that collaboration and the exchange of experiences can lead to great results for everyone.

@Parker BullardFrom my experience, house hacking is a great way to reduce housing costs by renting out part of a property, like a duplex or triplex.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Even though we live in earthquake country, this was a new experience for us.

If you had a bad experience I'd love to step in and help you out to get it resolved. 

Also, if anyone has any experience in land purchasing I would appreciate any tips or websites on how to find the best deal or agent for the same.

Just curious what your background and experience is in this field.

There's nothing like the experience of others to help you not only sound more professional in the beginning but also miss a TON of pit falls!
