New to bigger pockets

[Samuel Lynch]

Hello everyone, I'm new to bigger pockets website and only started listening to the podcasts a little over a week ago. I have one property in eastern NC, formerly my primary residence when I was stationed there for the Marine Corps. I am stationed in Okinawa, Japan now and looking to network, buy more rental properties and build a business for my children and future grandchildren. My biggest knowledge shortfall right now is the financing side of things when it comes to how I can use my VA loan again or other ways to go about purchasing a good investment property. Second shortfall, I live on the opposite side of the world with no way to view and evaluate property before purchasing. Any suggestions?
