Investing while abroad

[Zeke Marshall]

Well my Bio explains my situation but a brief overview. I'm a professional athlete from pittsburgh playing abroad and i plan on buying my first property when i get back. however, i'm concerned about loans and actually trying to purchase and manage it when i'll probably will be overseas 6+ months of the year. so my question is the possibility of trying to invest while playing overseas and how i could go about doing it, in leaning more towards long term buy and hold multi families properties to accmulate wealth overtime. so any help can be appreciated. 

p.s. i've been watching the forums and podcasts for a while so this is my first tackle on trying to put myself out there into the community

Im in a similar situation as you are I call Pittsburgh home at the same time Im also a merchant marine for the Navy and only spend about 2 mths a yr in Pittsburgh. Purchased a dublex last yr and a single family 2014. Definitly do your research on property management. Sometimes I feel as if I get nickeled and dimed.I was on 2 yr contract that thankfully ends in June. As for my duplex my maintence man who is a friend of mine I give him 100 a month to collect the rent and deposit in my account its unconventional but it works for me. If you have someone you can truly trust it will make things much easier. It is hard to connect and build relationships not being around. But when you are here build connections. Good luck.
