Starting real estate investments while working overseas.

[Lynnie M.]

Hi All,

My husband and I want to buy rental properties for our future/retirement, we currently work overseas and won't be moving back to the States until 2020.  

Is it crazy to buy a property when we're not in the country?  We want to buy cash (something under $120,000) but don't know where yet - still learning...  Could anyone give us advice on buying a multifamily from overseas and how we would find a trustworthy PM?  

Thank you all in advance for your time.  And sorry if I've missed any details, this is my first post.  :)
