Hi BiggerPockets Community,We’re Helena and Tom, a Belgian couple starting our journey into US real estate.- Personal: I work in tech, and Tom works at a VC Fund.

After picking up my life in Los Angeles and moving to Fayetteville, AR for a house-hack, I do have a word of wisdom: make sure you like the place you're going to live if you're moving across the country to start your real estate investing journey.

If you can prove this value and maintain high levels of communication - you will be a very valuable 'who' is someone's investing journey.

I found it an enjoyable read about his journey into notes, but out of roughly ~180 pages only the last ~40 discuss notes and even those are very general and don't go into any number crunching. 

Best to you and this journey.

Its a long journey and we have all bin at the starting line but once you do it you will thank yourself.

The Biggerpockets books were fundamental to the start of my journey in REI.

I very much wish you well in your journey, but I would hate to see you jump straight to the NFL. 

I'm just starting my journey into real estate investing and truly appreciate your advice and knowledge.

What's the one investment strategy you wish you'd known when you first started in real estate, and how has it shaped your journey?
