Military and moving around... Where do I have investment properties?

[Nathan Singer]

I am a college student and I just got accepted into pilot training with the Air Force, this is my dream, but not how I plan on making my money. I am very interested in Real Estate investing and am currently saving up for my first down payment. I have struggled to find ideas from people with military careers and I was wondering if someone has some good insight on this. The question is where I should have my investment properties if I am moving around all of the time, because if I invested in properties at every base, that means finding a new management company every time I leave which would be really tough. I have been told it is a good idea to live near them or have them in some sort of relative cluster... but again, this is difficult with a military career. Any ideas even if you aren't military are greatly appreciated!
