Hello everyone,It's nice to know that there is a community of property investors here at bigger pockets.I am Victor from Australia (Melbourne).I am new to property investing and still learning, reading and listening to youtube, pod casts and books on investing in general.I am extremely intrigued by the idea of generating passive income through real estate investment ever since coming across rich dad poor dad a month ago and more recently, bigger pockets podcasts.As a start, I plan to learn more about the mechanics of investing in real estate before taking steps to actually start looking at my local market (Northern Suburbs of Melbourne)In fact, I have already formulated some short term goals to accomplish: 1.

We would love to be near a beach and not necessarily looking to make money just generate enough to cover all expenses.

If a non REO, place a clause about utilities being turned on in the contract, affecting your time lines if it is not.When utilities will not be turned on, you need a heavy generator, air pressure test plumbing, etc.

It's clean and functional.  

You'll still be ahead of the game by generating income from it.  

A little bit background: We still have a small rental which is generating cash and we bought our own home.

I've tried to help them with their lead generation to buy properties in their areas, and I have learned a lot about what they are doing.You want a mentor? 

Scrape off the old paint, clean it and prep it entirely before you paint.

I'm starting off in the Houston market.I’ve been doing a lot of driving for dollars, pretty much every chance I get since its apparently the easiest/cheapest way to get started generating leads as I don’t have a whole lot of money to start.
