Moving to Japan (military) but want my first investment property

[Teho Kim]

I have told myself that I will begin real estate investing after finishing pilot training, and now the time has come. However, I will be going to Okinawa, Japan for the assignment.

I am very set on getting my first property before leaving to Japan after half a year of training in Oklahoma; preferably looking for a multifamily unit and using a property manager.

The question is where should I get it? I have family ties in Bloomington, IN. I am also considering Oklahoma City, which will be 2 hours away from my training. But since I will be long distance I am really open to any cities.

I appreciate any suggestions and comments!
