Investing from abroad

[Max Mavec]

Hello BP,

I am looking to get started in real estate, but I am a but unsure how to start. I have been watching bigger pockets on youtube and listening to the real estate rookie podcast. I have a general idea for how to start, by my concern is that I am currently working and living abroad. I am unsure if I should start out by putting 20% down and buying a rent ready multi-family or should I wait until I move back to the US so I can house hack. Once I move home in about a year, I will have more capital to invest, but for now I still have some capital saved. I am also wondering if I am bankable? I work for a foreign company but I still file taxes in the United States.

Thanks for the advice!
