Of course I still need to decide which part of the country I plan on investing in (it's possible I'm moving around the country frequently in the first year, so that is making me think about the most ideal location for an initial investment).Once established and with a track record in Spain, I plan on making my first investment here in the US, most likely in the Boston/MA area.In any event, I'm excited to connect and learn from those in this group.If you know anyone with international investment properties or contacts abroad, especially in Spain, I would love to connect!
