Long Distance Real Estate - First Property

[Sara Bollinger]

Hi!

Any advice on long distance real estate investing for newbie? Currently, I do not live in the United States as I'm working overseas. I really want to get into long distance real estate investing, buying & holding properties for long term rent. I have about 35k saved for this effort right now, will definitely be more in the upcoming months. 

Is 35k enough to get started? What would be a more realistic number? Anything to keep in mind if I am investing very long distance?

Any advice appreciated,

Sara B
