Considering Real Estate but I move for work. Good or Bad Idea?

[Trevor Fenton]

Hey Everyone!

I'm new to the site and I thought I would start my first discussion with a question I've been having with myself for some time now. I've always LOVED the idea of investing in Real Estate but I don't know if it's the right move or not. I have a very demanding job and it tends to move me around the country from time to time and I don't know if becoming a potential landlord is the right move to make, considering I may not be in the same state as the property. I don't have any intentions of quitting my day job to pursue a career in Real Estate but I would like to begin investing in rental properties as a way to grow a passive income. Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on if it's possible to make this a reality or is it a pipe dream?

Thanks

Trevor
