Are you looking to invest in Real Estate in Belgium? You’re exploring the potential for a first real estate investment, or you’re already made one or more investments. But you’re wondering what it takes to be successful with real estate? How to find good deals? What are the strategies that improve investment returns? What are the key elements to pay special attention to when you invest for the first time? That is what we discuss in this episode with Joris Van Briel. Joris is part of the FIRE community and a real estate investor in Belgium. He’s 32 and owns 4 units in Antwerp and is looking to invest in Brussels.  He started at 26 and with a combination of luck, good financing, smart strategies (also known as house hacking), and a lot of hard work, he got a return on investment of 60% in the first year!!! I didn’t know this when we started the conversation. But I gradually discovered his journey and achievements. And while there was some luck involved, we also uncovered many important strategies that you can replicate to improve your investment returns. As I am not a real estate investor myself, I certainly learned a ton from this conversation, so a big thank you to Joris.
