As a former resident of Hong Kong I would be very careful to enter that market Luke. Personal opinion based on what I see happening politically moving forward but we can sure have an exciting chat about Asia!

Hi @Luke Hadden. Will do. Are you investing in Singapore or based in Singapore and investing in the US? Would be interested to hear about either!

Thank you @Joey Chavez!

Hello Javier. Thank you for your response. I bet you have some great thoughts on this issue. I actually study at ESADE so if you have time, I will be happy to meet some time this week or the coming week.

I am looking into the region of Denmark in which I grew up which is also where my family is located today. I think my dad will be able to assist with some on ground inspection and then I have a good friend who is a certified carpenter with plenty of free time so I am thinking it will be ideal to partner with him as caretaker while I do the marketing and dealmaking on my own.

Best, Lars

Thanks for welcoming Anthoney!

Hello dear BP community!

I am a young Danish man new to real estate investing. I have been reading a ton of books, taken an excellent course on real estate investing at UNC Chapel Hill and been following the BP Podcast for some time.

I expect to make my first investment in 2020 as I have managed to save up a bit of cash here while taking my masters degree in Business Analytics here in Barcelona, Spain.

My plan has been to start investing after July 2020 as I expected to return to Denmark and thus be on ground making it easier to invest. However, I have signed with a management consultancy and asked to go to Singapore (and maybe also Dubai) for a great start to my career and low taxes (unlike in Denmark as you may know).

Despite being very happy with the upcoming job, I am a bit frustrated because I think working abroad will be a hurdle to my RE investment career in the sense that I will have both limited time (crazy work hours) and be geographically far away from the market I know best and have a great network within (Denmark).

I think what I really need is to hear from someone who manages to invest in RE while living abroad or far away from the targeted market. Am I doomed or can it be done?
