Hello from the UK to the USA Bigger Pockets Community

Rental Property Investor 路 London, UK 路 Member since 2018 路 12 posts 路 5 votes

Hi everyone. My name is Justin.

I have worked in the property industry in the UK for a number of years, in Property Management and Sales of Rent 2 Rent holiday villas around the Mediterranean, as an Estate Agent and Deal Sourcer and now in Conveyancing.

Over these years I have helped many home buyers and investors on their property journey but now in 2024 my focus has shifted to how I can transition into a real estate investor in my own right, and build my own property portfolio.

I have been a big Bigger Pockets podcast listener for a number of years and I have found it to be a massive motivation tool in my working life but I am super excited to now lean on all the amazing resource as I commence my own investment journey.

I am originally from Australia and have spent the last 13 years living in London, UK.

    Find a few target properties, and post all the number (without the addresses) to family and friends asking who wants to fund your investments...

    Hi Marta,

    The market is pretty strong although most commentators are predicting a small price decline for 2024. We have had the same issues with mortgage rates however a few lenders are starting to reduce rates again.

    All in all, the market is pretty strong.

     Hi Lindsay, thanks for the message. I was back in Oz in June for 3 months. Nothing like a visit home!
