Buy and hold on a sight unseen

[Lisa Renee]

Good morning/afternoon (depending on where you are in the world). My name is Lisa and I am active duty military currently stationed overseas. I am interested in buying rental property but I am unsure about how to go about it. I won't be going stateside any time soon and I don't want to wait until I do get stationed stateside to dive into this business. Are there any pointers on what I could do to get started. The areas I am looking in are Atlanta, GA, Tampa, FL, and San Antonio, TX. Thank you and I look forward to working with y'all.

Hi @Lisa Renee,

I think it's a great idea to start investing while you are still active duty, even while over seas.  I've personally seen more than a couple success stories from it.   I work for a investment real estate clearinghouse here in San Antonio that also has offices in Tampa and Atlanta, as well as 10 other cities around the U.S.  I'm sure I can be of assistance in helping you learn more about each market and find some deals.  Also my wife works full time here at Lackland A.F.B. and does real estate part time.  I can speak with here about property managers that help active military and understand your unique situation.  Feel free to reach out to me for anything advice.
