Episode #179: Investing Outside of the U.S. with Greg Junge
b'
Today\\u2019s guest is a first for the PIMR podcast; Greg Junge is the only person who has been interviewed on the show who has invested in property outside of the United States. Greg joins us today to discuss how and why he and his wife Mandy, became limited partners in a resort in Belize, and the people who influenced their decision. In this case, the decision was based on the fact that it is a place they would like to revisit often, and therefore it is a lifestyle investment as much as it is a financial one. Greg doesn\\u2019t always invest in properties that he will make use of himself but he does always ensure that he completely trusts whoever he is investing with and he runs us through his vetting process in this episode. Greg also gives us insights into how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected his investments; why the pandemic has not deterred him from investing in more properties; the benefits of finding a niche in the vast world of real estate as quickly as possible and most importantly, why investing in your own personal development is a key to success.\\xa0
