How to purchase blind/abroad

Hello everyone!

My name is Andre and I'm a novice real estate investor. I actually used advice from Bigger Pockets a few years ago to purchase my first rental property.

So here is my dilemma. I'm looking to step further into the water and purchase another investment property. I'm finishing up a 365 deployment currently and will be heading home soon. This whole deployment I've been listening to Bigger Pockets podcasts and while I prefer SFR's, I'm contemplating a duplex.

However, returning home from this deployment for me, actually means returning to Japan where I'm stationed. So what's the best route to go when purchasing a property in the states, while I won't be able to see it in person? I read a lot of discussions on here and naturally I need to find a solid real estate investor first. How do I find a good one and determine they are awesome when I can't talk to them in person?

Sorry for all the questions and those too come. I appreciate your guys/gals patience and help.

Andre T. Lewis

@Andre Lewis

I'd recommend reaching out to @Zach Lemaster over at Rent to Retirement. They provide high quality turnkey rentals in markets with great returns.

I am a busy professional myself and wanted to get rentals under my belt with low risk. Zach is highly experienced and his team can get you started with properties that fit your criteria.
