Starting my Real Estate Journey with No Permanent Residency

[Luke Farrar]

I currently work in the construction industry and I am looking into starting my journey into real estate investing in the new year! I want to begin my journey by flipping SFR homes and move into buy and hold investments later down the road. Since I am currently in the construction industry, I do not technically have a stable residency as I move around from project to project. What would be an ideal first step to take to begin my journey? Naturally, I do not want to start my real estate career with long distance investments as there is a higher potential for conflict, especially as a newbie. Do I take a risk in hopes to complete a flip in my current location prior to getting assigned a new project? Should I reach out to other investors that will be in the area longer than I might be?
