Starting investing journey from overseas.

Anthony Stevens
Posted

Hello everyone.  I am a Soldier stationed in Germany.  I will be going back to the U.S. next summer, but as I continue to seek this great real estate investor journey, I am wanting to invest in my education.  Although I'm in a different country, I want to register for the January rookie bootcamp.  My intent was to invest in my first property within 3-4 months of me returning (Oct-Nov 2022 timeframe).  Would you think I am wasting my time attending the bootcamp this early being I can't do anything until next year?  Any advice is welcomed!!  Thank you and have a great day!!

Anthony

@Anthony Stevens

Love seeing fellow military on here and I see my friend @Marcus Long who is crushing it in syndication all the way from the UK already chimed in along with my buddy @Doug Spence who also invests from a distance.

I don't have any experience long-distance investing but I do have a TON of experience on progressing from Step 0 to Step 1 and beyond. I think that learning definitely doesn't hurt but what will really help from attending any event or workshop is the relationships you build there. Even though attending the event may not line up with your investing timeline, the friendships you can make there will last forever. Go there with the intention of making friends and adding value to others and you'll definitely receive massive value. All of the "knowledge" from any event is likely available on Youtube, albeit it may take longer to sift through raw information to get to the core messages and actionable items. 

If you're not already plugged in to Dave Pere's From Military To Millionaire group on Facebook definitely check it out, I've made a lot of friends in there that turned into a lot of business.
