Welcome @James Whitney!

I'm over in Shelby Co. I work a full time job in Indy and have been learning, networking, got my license and started investing part-time with buy and holds. Sounds like I am only one step ahead of you. Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss or have "newbie with a full time job" type questions.

Happy investing to you! 

Congratulations! Best of luck with the next one, and the next one, and the many after that!

@Ayodeji Kuponiyi like the others have already said, sounds like a good plan!  It feels good when you settle on a plan and know which direction you are going. That is an acomplishment in itself!

I am in Indianapolis, I have my brokers license and represent a turnkey provider, if I can be of assistance just give me shout.

Happy investing!

Welcome to BP!  and best wishes with your investing and networking. 

check out the meetups.com site, you should find a couple of investing groups in there. Also, if you haven't already, check out myinreia.com

Welcome! and thanks for sharing. 

Hello BP!

Trying to do some research for a friend.  She is an Aussie living in London (about to get her citizenship there) and has some cash that she would like invest in real estate.  She has plans for the next couple years to trek around a few countries, living her life, etc. and while she is doing that she doesn't want her money sitting in a bank not working for her. 

Her initial thought was that she would invest in London. She does not intend to keep the investment long into the future but is thinking after a few years she may sell the property and hopefully have earned enough in equity and appreciation to then take that money back to Australia to buy a home where prices are way high. (I know appreciation should be icing on the cake and equity is not going to be great after only a few years - but better than the bank right?)

When I first discovered BP I was so excited about my own plans, I was telling her all about it and of course knowing she has quite a plump bank account I joking (half joking) said she should let me invest her money in real estate here in Indianapolis.....  so, she has now come to me for advice and of course I don't know what she should do because A) I don't know anything about London real estate, and B) I don't know anything about her tax and/ or other implications in investing from abroad if she were to invest here in Indy.

Anyone have any pointers to get us going in the right direction?  I know it is a very broad subject and I guess I'm hoping to find someone or a connection/company in London that could offer advice.

What would you tell your friend?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome Jason!

I think you are starting with the best books.   I'd also add The One Thing and Four Hour Work Week to help you reach your goals once you know what you want to do.  And Grant Cordone's 10x in Audio is great to listen to for extra motivation.

Good luck and Happy Investing!

Welcome to BP! 

Hello @Adi Dahan  I am a licensed broker here in Indianapolis.  I represent a turn key provider and also search the mls and other avenues for investors.   Let me know if I can be of assistance.

I'm with Todd F.  Why not stay where you are and invest out of state with good property management in place.   Go and visit a couple of the cities, meet and interview several property management teams and check out the area in general.   Live where you want to live and invest where the numbers are right for you.  These don't have to be the same place.

Best of luck!
