I will try to write as often as I can, but will be at least once per week.I will write all the blogs myself and English is not my first language, so all the English majors out there, get your red markers out :)I first want to start out with a very important event in my life.

We're also active in the Seoul Real Estate Investing Meetup, the #1 REI club in Korea (in English anyway!).

He did not try to address us in English once. 

My client couldn't speak English and had to use an interpreter to close the transaction. 

There is an ever growing hospital, another stable hospital, casino, aviation business, manafacturing facilities... you name it.

Him being an immigrant (bad english, tough understanding of paperwork behind the business, etc) he never checked credits or anything of this nature.

, and the crew members aren't fluent English speakers. 

They systematically forced all of the the tenants to move, then rented only to Russian speaking recent immigrants who did not know English and did not know American norms or tenant rights. 

Recently reaching age 42 I realize the need to leverage my strengths: speaking English, Spanish, Italian, possessing a class B CDL, computer graphics experience, tech savvy, verbal communication, and writing skills rather than rely on the low ROI of ditch digging.

Yes ROI is higher outside CA, risks are different and you need to learn the pros and cons.I started investi on OOS in 2008, I had only $80k, barely spoke English, knew nobody in USA and nobody wanted to lend me money because I'm Canadian and had no credit score here at that time.
