Member Living in Germany, from the US with property in Northern VA

[Scott Friend]

Hello all,

I'm currently living in Germany for work (not sure on how long my family and I will stay here but we're hoping for the long run) and own a property (lived in for just over two years) in Northern Virginia, which is currently being rented out (and managed by a PM firm).

I would like to own multiple residential properties to serve as extra income and eventually move onto commercial investments (or possible multi-family properties, such as apartment buildings).

I'm here to look for advice on how someone in my situation could start pursuing this goal. Thanks to all!
