New real estate investor that is always traveling
Hello, My name is Ademola or Demo for short. I recently became interested in investing in real estate a few months ago (primarily long term/short term rentals of multifamily units) and I am currently going through the books, podcast, and blogs to better educate myself on the process. However, I do have one fear. I am currently a traveling physical therapy (which means I essentially change the city and/or state where I work every 2-6 months) so I am never in the same place for a very long time. I also don't want to give up my job because I like it but I was wondering if this will be a great barrier to investing as I am never in one place for too long. I am thinking of investing in a place near parent's place (New York) and hope they can help me take care of it but is that asking too much or just a bad idea in general? Thank you for your time and looking forward to hearing your opinions!
