Newbie investing while transitioning out of the Military

[Benjamin Hazlett]

Hello Everyone! I'm a newbie investor looking for some advice as I transition out of the Military. I'm currently stationed in Korea and looking to retire in 18 months. I'm interested in picking up some Single Family/Duplex units back in Oklahoma/Fort Sill area, but my wife and I are not super comfortable purchasing property while I'm overseas. The idea of not walking the house and driving the neighborhood before a purchase is a little scary. We currently have 1 rental unit, but see the opportunity to purchase more in this fast paced market. Looking for some advice on either biting the bullet and getting more properties or just saving capital till I retire back in the US? I'm looking forward to meeting people on BP, if you have experience with military investment areas and VA loans please hit me up.
