Best use of location independence?

[Andre Crabb]

Hi all,

For the past year, I've been "location independent". Amazingly I've been able to travel the US and the world while holding a full-time job. I've been saving up and its almost time to get my hands dirty in real estate! :D

As long as I stay in furnished places, I carry everything in two backpacks! Are there any advantages to being location independent for real estate investing? If so, what are they, and what would be a great way to get started?

• Choose the "best" city in the US for real estate and go there?
• Start with some live-in flips?
• House-hack over and over again as I fix up units?
• Do the long-distance thing and be wherever I want to be yet invest in other markets?

I'd love to hear others' ideas!

Are there any downsides? Like paperwork? I don't want to haul that around with me that's for sure.

How can I use my location independence to accelerate my journey to financial independence?
