Kevin Rockwood has been in the REtipster Community for about a year now. He came through our coaching program working with Jaren, and he’s been able to make some pretty good headway in this business.

Kevin is also a software developer who is one of the driving forces behind Pebble, which can handle direct mail management and lead tracking for properties in the acquisition funnel.

Another interesting thing about Kevin is that he lives in South Korea and has built his land investing business while working from the other side of the world. In this conversation, we're talking with Kevin about how he’s managed to do all of this while working from such a long distance and in a very different time zone from where his business is happening.

International real estate investors like Kevin always have some ingenious ways of making the pieces of their business fit together even when they aren't physically present in the U.S. These are lessons that all of us can learn from and put to good use.
