Investing from outside of the US

[Justin Woodard]

Hi everyone,

I'm originally from the US, but I'm currently living in Japan and want to get started in real estate investing. I picked up a copy of David Greene's "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing", but I was also wondering if anyone had any advice or experience with regards to investing out of the country that might not be covered in the book.  I'm interested in investing in single-family homes around the Dallas-Fort Worth area to start. I would appreciate any advice anyone could give. Also, looking to connect and possibly figure out ways to help each other out.
