Distant Investing: Different State and/or Country

[Josh Banwart]

Good Morning everyone, 

I am currently living in Germany as a DoD contractor and have been educating myself about real estate investing for about 8 months now. I have decided I would love to be part of the real estate journey (Rentals: Single Family or Small multi family), however, I am cautious because I am in a different country and somewhat "scared" of what could happen. It would be about another 2-4 years before I live back in the US, I am trying to figure out if distant investing might be too much for a first timer or should I possibly wait for the market to decrease a little more? Creating a team for the best deals will be significantly harder to gather because I have no experience as well

As always BP community, thank you all for your time and advise.
