Investing in Real Estate while traveling for your primary job
Hey everyone this is my first post though I have listened to many podcasts and studied literature. I am currently a healthcare professional and I travel all over the US for my job. I earn good money but currently don’t own a primary residence since I am usually only home for short periods and stay with family. I have capital saved but don’t know what is the best approach to real estate investing if I am not always around. I am 25 and don’t know if I should own a primary residence before spending money on a multi-family and outsource property management OR just wait until I am in a different career where I can house hack. It doesn’t make sense for me to purchase a house because I am not there enough and it would be a waste of money but I also feel it’s counter productive to own a multi family and “owner occupy” because I won’t really be there often. Located in CT. Thank you for your help!
