@Alex Fenske - Amazing story, congrats on your success.

You'd be amazed at the number of CPAs that I come across who have never even heard of this strategy and are doing their clients an injustice.

On the other hand, the midwife or pregnancy nurse counsels the pregnant woman.

Good thing is having yen exposure, but I wouldn't worry much about that unless you have a pretty sizeable portfolio, imho.It's an amazing country, and I miss it. 

Just wanted to introduce myself.My name is Ariel, I am 32 years old (this Thursday), and I am making my first steps as a real estate investor.As I live abroad, most if not all of my work would be remote, and right now I am focusing on Jacksonville, FL.My main goal for this year is to fix and flip  at least 2 SF's properties, and for the next few years to increase this number, maybe do some MF, and possibly to also BRRR when I raise enough of my own capital.At the moment, my biggest challenge is the fact that I am remote, so I could use some help from a local realtor or management company.It's so amazing to know this community  exists, and I am thrilled to actually take part in it

It is very embarrassing to admit that a woman who has been an entrepreneur, taught college, and accomplished a few things in life, could be so totally taken in.

Most non-FHA loans will require at least 15% down but you'll have to have amazing credit.

The numbers make this seem like an amazing deal, but I want to make sure it’s not just a way to grab my business and that it will actually educate me and provide long term value.

This is one of the last investments that the common man or woman can make and get ahead in life.  

Looking forward to learning from this amazing community and making informed decisions!
