I've heard of duplexes being split via zoning to be sold individually for maximized capital. Although I do not know what needs to be done to complete this properly, I think it's a beneficial exit strategy.

@Alan Monahan ,

I have no experience in real estate as of yet but I was alerted of your post via keyword alerts! (Thanks bigger pockets!)

I just wanted to weigh in on your dilemma. From everything I've read and research so far, I am almost certain that the veterans will come here saying something along the lines of plot out your strategy and work backwards. What's your end goal? Where do you want to be 8 years from now? 5 years? 3 years?

I'm big into personal development and the encouragements you hear listening to the podcasts and reading the blogs and e-books heavily, come back to the universal success principals found in personal development: know your why and be committed.

The circumstances and situations are going to be different for every individual, but the success or failure is depending on how much conviction you have in the reason you're going into Real Estate Investing and the commitment to see it through NO MATTER WHAT.

As in all things in the life of business, you're only a loser, if you quit. I hope that this encouraged and helped you make your decision and I would definitely like to keep in touch to add to each others REI network.

All the best,

Dominic 

@Daniel Ryu Definitely! I'm very glad that I've found this place now rather than later. I'm interested in holding property all over the world but first I have to start with my local area, get that first deal done and out of the way and then continue to learn then do, learn some more, do some more. 

I look forward to the possibility of meeting you in person and becoming a part in your Korean MeetUp group! 

@Daniel Ryu 

- Yes, I am so excited for the years ahead. I'm only 24 so starting out this young I think will definitely help me in the long run. I wanted to ask if this South Korean meet-up group only focuses on purchasing and master-minding for properties here in the states, or if you guys speak about and purchase real estate in Korea and other "international" countries (by international I mean any other country outside of the U.S.).

@Daniel Ryu  This is awesome. I've joined the meetups page to keep in the know. I'm going to be acquiring my Teaching English as a Foreign Language Certificate at the end of May. I'll then be spending a lot of time for the remainder of the year looking for jobs over in South Korea and other countries that I'm interested in moving to. If I end up coming to South Korea, I definitely want to connect with all of you guys!

@John Van Uytven and @Benjamin Hauser

Welcome to best place for Real Estate Networking and learning Eugene! Glad to have you and look forward to all your success!

@Jennifer Lee I checked out your website and profile and definitely feel like I could learn a lot from you, if you're open to allowing me to get in touch and using you as a resource as needed. Please see my profile and see how I may be able to help you in return. 

@Noah Dutt I sent you a colleague request to open up communication. Look forward to growing in REI with you.

@Shakara Pittman  Welcome to Bigger Pockets! I'm new here as well and wanted to continue to spread the same welcome that I was greeted with.

I look forward to making deals in the tri-state area of NYC/NJ/CT and MD/DC/VA and networking with you.

@Paul Timmins The example of controlling the property without owning it makes it much more clear. I was also interested in asking about this question but I haven't researched it myself yet. Do you have another example or two for familiarities sake?

Great question. I would love to see the outcome of this question.

Mr. @Paul Timmins ,

Thanks for all of your insight. I'll definitely start in all the directions that you pointed me in. If I have any questions about the things you pointed me to is it fine if I seek you out to ask about them?

I appreciate it so much!

Best,

Dominic
