Investing while living out of the Country

[Kris Johnson]

Hi All,

I have been listening to several different real estate podcasts during the last 6 months and I am now following the Ultimate Beginners Guide to Real Estate Investing found on the Bigger Pockets site.

I am currently doing the learning phase via forum reading, reading What Every Real Estate Investor needs to know about cash flow. Secondly, I am planning my own real estate investment plan.

I have heard and read on forums, many investors own real estate in areas not so close or local to themselves. Although I am originally from the US and lived there until about 30, I have been living and working in Switzerland for the last 10 years. What are your thoughts about how I can possibly organize a team and find, evaluate, select and close on multi family small apartment investments whilst living aboard? Is it possible? What additional challenges should I expect by living overseas?

Thank you all for your answers and advice. I do hope over the next few months to get moving and close out a deal or two and hopefully we can find an opportunity to work together on some deals.

Kind regards,

Kris
