Cash flow investing and living abroad

[David Cornett]

Hey all,

One of my goals and reasons for wanting to get into investing is to be able to live and travel abroad 6 months out of the year.  I understand that finding good property management will be required - any other strategies or issues that I need to look into?  Any resources I should read?  How should I go about broaching the subject with a property manager?  I'd be worried about them taking advantage of me being so far away - is not telling them about my travel a viable option?

I don't want anything too passive, as I need high cash on cash return.

Any general advice would also be appreciated.
