New Investor from California Currently Overseas Military

Hello everyone I am Andrew.

Currently Stationed overseas in Germany with the US Military and been reading BiggerPockets for about 2 weeks and doing some research on the market with the calculators available.

I am from Fresno, Ca but I am looking into Texas, Virginia & Colorado due to not really having a decision in where I go next in my military career.

My goals are to start investing into 2 of any Duplex/Triplex/Quadplex rentals for my short term 2017 and hopefully move onto bigger things like apartment complexes for medium length goals for 2019 with my long term goal being able to afford a few vacation houses around the world to enjoy and retire in.

Favorite color is blue, I like teppanyaki and drinking pina colada's while dancing in the rain.

Thank you for your time! Glad to be here!

I see your challenges. Well I would skype interview some real estate agents that actually own investment properties themselves. Some even manage properties. At the end of the day you need a solid agent and a solid and affordable property management co or person. Small property managers can do good as well you just have to make sure you build a relationship and they understand your needs and concerns. Just keep up with BP man and you will get tons of tips and tricks.
