New investor from Australia

[Ben Whittaker]

Hi all, just wanted to start out with a quick thank you to all who participate in the forums, it's been an invaluable resource to me as I start my journey into property investing. I hope I can give back in the years to come. 

I'm just days away from closing on my first deal, a package of four properties in the Detroit area. I know this probably has alarm bells ringing at this point, the new guy that thinks he can make it buying up cheap properties in Detroit, but as David Green says in his book, a good property manager can have success with this. I've found someone that I trust to handle this, so have concluded that nothing can go wrong and it will all be smooth sailing from here. So yeah... I'll probably be rich in like 3 weeks... right? 

Wish me luck! And thanks again. 

Ben.

Thanks for the kind words, Lindsay. That's great to hear. It's always nice to know there are alternatives to any given situation. I'm in Melbourne myself, I'm sure we'll cross paths some day!
