Mostly due to the fact my spouse and I agreed on her to have zero involvment in any sort of RE investing (and its our home) I think once you have a good 6-12 months of reserve cash (operating expenses for your own life saved as a back up incase things go bad) save enough liquidity to get the ball rolling on your first invesment.

I usually target/ball park around 45% of gross income. 

If investing locally isn't feasible then out of state investing is a great way to get the ball rolling.

Looking into my crystal ball - which I still keep in my closet from my previous life on Capitol Hill - neither of these risks have a realistic path to a meaningful economic effect.

Did you invest this project through Shirley Xu's Golden Bridge Investment Club?

When is the Golden Visa program closing?

I don’t have a crystal ball either but we are definitely feeling a pick up in the market.
