Nomadic Family - Need Start Date Advice!

[Andrew Blythe]

I want to get my real estate investing career started now. I've been researching and developing my plan for taking control of my financial future, but I just moved from CA to PA and I know I'll only be in the area for two years max. Do I purchase my 1st property to get my feet wet land-lording then keep the property to land lord from afar or do I wait to start in an area I know I will be living longer? I plan on repeating the buy and hold process while I continue to support my family with my full time gig. I know analysis paralysis is the biggest hurdle for most wannabe real estate investors, but I also don't want to jump in if it's advised to wait until I set- up a more permanent residence. Thanks for reading and giving any advice you feel like sharing!
