How do you purchase real estate while overseas?

[Elliot Mendoza]

Hello from happy Afghany-land.

So, I've done a good bit of reading over the last month or so since I registered on here. And I'm either showing signs of an infection(I'd blame the amazing food here) or developing that itch to purchase a first investment property.

I came here interested in multi-family properties initially, but seeing some of the lower end scale homes sell for 15-40k and make a really good cash-on-cash return looks more and more appealing as my end goal would be Cashflow.

So back to my subject line; assuming I found a deal, had the cash on hand, how would I go about the purchase? Or is it even possible?
