Digital forums/meetups for the expat community?

[Josh Smalley]

I hope this question matches the category I've selected for this post:

I'm an expat (US citizen), working and living 10 months out of the year outside the US. I have been reading and studying and preparing myself to get involved in real estate investing.

So often, it's suggested to know people in your community, rub shoulders with so-and-so, take investor X out for coffee, go to an REI meetup, etc. That's harder for someone like myself. I'd love to discuss with other expats who already do what I am hoping to do. Their advice and path will likely be more pertinent to me as much of the advice I get is for someone who lives stateside.

Is there an expat group or forum? Obviously, BP is the first place to start (and maybe there's a sub group inside BP that I'm not aware of at this time). I'm wondering if there is a specific, dedicated online group for expats investing in the US.

Any thoughts?

I'm an American expat as well, and would be interested in participating in a digital forum that catered to this. I've seen some discussions from non-US citizens interested in investing in the US...but their issues and challenges are not always totally relevant to US citizens.
