Who am I and how did I even get into real estate?
My name is Liren Koren, I own a company Luxury Property Care For property management in Florida, a real estate investment advisor, and last year also a writer: I wrote the The ultimate step by step guide to finding and investing in Off "-" market real estate. In the book, I describe how I bought over $ 50 million in auctions of various Florida real estate auctions during the 2009 economic crisis that even translated into Spanish and will soon be published in Hebrew.
how it started?
I will not forget the first computer I got or the first website I browsed. I was only 12 years old, a computer geek who breaks down and puts them together all day, browsing the internet, discovering a world, chatting with new people, feeling curious and the information I discovered made me feel powerful, and by then I knew this was what I wanted to do in life… the first few hours of home I would miss a book because I was chatting with new people all night, trying to understand the laws of the world, and the different cultures, The space I was very intrigued, and the reduction was particularly boring.
In the military, I served in the field of computers in a bear field in the Air Force and while studying various degrees in the computer field. Three days after the release, I flew to London and started working as a computer consultant at one of the banks in London. That's how my life began; , I was so eager to succeed and ran without looking back. While my friends were busy conquering South American peaks, I, a 22-year-old boy, yes? I worked, invested myself, and at 20 pounds an hour, I thought I'd conquered the world. I was in London for two years, I worked hard, I said yes to everything, holidays, the main thing is to keep my place. Failure was not an option. I don't want to go home shy, I would say to myself.
Two years later, a friend of my parents in Miami invited me to repair their computers. It was love at first sight - indescribable beauty, quiet calm, weather, and lots of beautiful people and beautiful women, what more could a man ask for?
Immediately I returned to London, packed everything and boarded the first plane that took me to Miami where I opened a computer company that I ran until 2009.
The day everything changed
In 2009, the biggest change in my life took place, a real revolution! As with the city of Miami as well In the tender Of Broward County Court I fell in love with a moment. how can you not? The action, the thrill, the fear and the uncertainty that were constantly floating in the air, the product of no less than 300 transactions each day, most in just a few seconds and the fact that cash was the undisputed king of the place that drew me in without looking back.
But how the hell could I have an advantage over the rest of the contestants? There were heavy and experienced investors and I was a young guy, living with partners and with only $ 250 in savings. How could I beat the real estate sharks who just wanted there and sought prey?
My solution was simple. I may not have had any real estate experience, but from an early age I lived online and on computers. Thanks to that advantage, I was able to build scripts that ran all night before the auction and then during the auction itself all the information was accessible to me without being dependent on anyone. The face of other savvy investors, from there was no turning back.
How did I harness the information that was at my fingertips to buy my first property? In the next post ..
