Really long distance investing (International)

[Joshua Parsons]

Hey everyone,

Im curious if anyone has really long distance investing (international)? 

My wife and I are starting to delve into the rental market in Italy and we were looking to see if anyone else has experience investing in Italy. 

Background: We travelled to Italy a year ago and fell in love and recently found out that my brother-in-law is going to be stationed in Italy. We would love to purchase a place near his base for him to live in while he's stationed in Italy, but we don't know anything about the rental market after he gets stationed elsewhere. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
