I felt I did very well because I had a unique advantage of having spent years doing aid work overseas in places like the slums of Nairobi, Kenya, or in Haiti, or rural parts of Indonesia.

I stumbled onto some good suppliers in vietnam/indonesia, and this area is perfect.

I understand cash flow properties are better found outside of CA and I will be digging in to those in the future, even possibly outside of the country in expat communities (one of my partners is a digital nomad that lives abroad is familiar with areas in Thailand, Colombia, Indonesia etc).

My wife and I have property in Australia(Sydney and Perth), Norway(TBG), USA(Indianapolis), Indonesia(Jakarta)and UAE(Dubai).The best for cash flow is by far Indianapolis where I’m gross yielding over 20% and net yielding about 10-12%

Other groups like DARIE and IRROC are good to check out.

I am originally from Indonesia (Its G20 countries, 4th largest country by population, and i am proud of it!) 

A bit about me: I've lived in 3 continents so far and have grown up as an international student (born Dubai, stayed 8 years, moved to Indonesia, stayed 8 years, moved to Tanzania, stayed 2 years, moved to Ireland, stayed 2 years, moving to France next year).I've been studying investing since I was 13 because I loved the idea that my money can make me money but since my parents have little knowledge of investing themselves, I learned from books (I used to be quite introverted so I was scared to ask others about it).

I spent 10 years US Army followed by 5 years business in Indonesia, now back in Texas with my eyes set on my first VA Mortgage Loan - this has to be my first investment property.
