Real Estate Investing for the Unsettled

[Jacob Derksen]

Hi Everyone,

My name is Jake Derksen and I recently graduated with a master's degree in environmental science from Oregon State University and the job hunt has been taking longer than anticipated. I am not sure where I will end up but there is a high chance I will be starting my professional life out of state or even out of the country. 

Does anyone have advice for a prospective real estate investor that has not figured out where home is yet? Where to buy?  How to Analyse a property from afar? How to pick a neighborhood? Just to name a few of the questions running through my mind.

Any thoughts from a seasoned investor or newbie going through a similar situation would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
