How to begin investing while living abroad

[David Mongillo]

Hi, I'm interested in learning more about real estate investing and I'm curious to know if there are any investors on these forums that have purchased property while living in a foreign country. I'm a US citizen living in Switzerland. Could you tell me how investing from abroad is different (or similar) from investing while living in a different state? Is access to financing much more difficult while living abroad? Any tips of suggestions you could make for someone just getting started would be much appreciated.
