Is it possible to invest while being a merchant Mariner

Mario Herring
Posted

I'm new and trying to invest in real estate. I'm a merchant mariner for the US Navy and I'm gone all the time and maybe home 1-2 months out of the year. My question is with me being gone so much is real estate investing still possible?

I am investing out of state, so technically I am never "there". 

Find a market that you know (probably your backyard). Find an agent who works with investors. Find your property. Then interview as many property managers as possible because THEY WILL BE KEY TO YOUR SUCCESS. That PM will either make or break your business. 

Good luck
