How can I do while living abroad to prepare to invest when I return to Texas?

[Zachary D.]

Howdy. I've been living in Japan for 3 years and reading Kiyosaki's books all the while. I'm dead-sold on building a rental property portfolio when I come back to Texas in 2015 sometime to the DFW area.

Can anyone recommend a method to hone my deal-finding skills while abroad? 

Just to mention, I'm having trouble find way to hone my comping skills by web alone.

Thanks!

@Zachary D. Start connecting with BP members in DFW.  You have plenty of time to screen a good team so when you make your return home you can start things up ASAP.   Use the search tab on BP and search topics like "investment friendly realtor" see who is being recommended. Private message some of the DFW members to get a more personal feel as to why you should use one person or another and in the process build a relationship with members. Anytime you run into a question/concern make a post and ask the BP community.
