@George CalbertHi George,A bunch of us are in a similar situation - living in Korea but wanting to invest in the US.We ended up forming a meetup - if you're interested in learning about it check out my profile for the URL.We've had a bunch of BP folks visit virtually and give us tips, etc.Most of the investors in our group either:* Have Turnkey investments* Have people on the ground watching their investments* Or in my case, formed a JV with people I met through BPIt's always a risk to do business with someone overseas without meeting them.

Looking to invest in the next month with great actionable tips heard thru there and books recommended. hope you're ready for the adventure as well.

@Tim Herndon thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the tip on posting the numbers on the buy and sell board.

Tip: pay them on time and they'll always be happy to show up when you need them.  

Any tips or advise posted here on BP will be greatly appreciated also!

Thanks for the tip - I've used the feature before but apparently when you back space to change the name it breaks the Java Script(or whatever technique is used) behind it and doesn't look up anymore in Firefox on Mac until you delete the @ sign all together and type it over! 

Thank you for the tip.
