Quote from @Israel Wolterding: Hey BP community what loans and loan programs are out there that you believe make the most sense for investor trying to get his first property ?

Alot of my clients from Israel invest in Cleveland Ohio and they self manage successfully. 

I am excited to be here in this BP forum with such a great community, I have been doing real estate investments for the past 5 years mainly in Miami area, now I am looking to expand my network and investment areas, so I decided to start investing also in Tampa bay area.I am a part of a big community of investors in Israel (ProjectX) So I am working with many other investors.I am planning on investing my time in South Florida area including Tampa for the next 5-10 years and close many deals,therefore I am looking forward to work with great people and create long term relationships.

We have yet to build up a network of our own.I live in Israel so every night, instead of Netflix, I look at the MLS, try to connect with agents with off market deals, but no progress yet.How would you suggest to go forward?

I am also from Israel and have been investing in the US for the last few years.

Case in point, Airbnb-backed short-term rental operator Zeus Living is reportedly shutting down (an AirBnB backed venture).Bottom LineWith so much happening in the world today, from Ukraine-Putin, to Israel-Hamas, to volatile energy, bond, mortgage, stock prices… there is a lot to be aware of.

As such they have the best business class milage seats to go to Hong Kong and then connect to any number of Asian destinations.. 80k to 100k miles depending on the flight round trip.. that is a good value those are 5k dollar tickets .. and going the other way I find British has some of the best pricing same thing but British quality has gone WAY down hill over the last decade but we took them to Israel business same thing under 100k miles each.. great way to start your international journey .. then when you marry that with your Hilton or Marriot points we get free hotel.. again HUGE savings when doing this internationally  domestic you buy the room to build the points .. anyway that's how we use ours.
