Overseas Rental Property Investor

[Nicholas Conte]

I am looking to make my first real estate investment this year. I began a career as a merchant mariner this past year and spend most of my time overseas. Whenever I am back home on land it is for a short period of time. That being said, I'm expecting it to be tough to find a quality property, agent, or manager, in a short time. I'm looking for anyone with any kind of advice on how to go about this process the best way possible.

Also, I am currently building on my financial knowledge and would appreciate any book recommendations or any general recommendations to help a young investor learn. I found this website reading Brandon Turner's The Book on Rental Property Investing.
