Hey Christian!! The US will be happy to have you back in a month or so, and I am sure you are looking forward to being home. Taylor is right, you want to tailor your investing strategy so that when the military sends you away you aren't really thinking about your property you had to leave behind. Solid rentals and good property managers who have maintenance and leasing all taken care of! I am a military spouse and knowing that every few years we move or so has had a great impact on how I invest in an area. I am very active in the area that I am in, but before I leave each place, I like to make sure that my properties are stabilized and running on their own and will not take a lot of attention from myself, so I can focus on investing in my new area. When I was starting I went after small simple single family homes, with original footprints (no additions), 3 bed, 1.5+ bath, under 1,400 square feet w/ dishwashers (or you could put a dishwasher in), off street parking and some sort of storage. I have moved on to multifamily and investing with partners, which is also a smart thing to do when duty could call and pull you away from an area in a moments notice! Make those local connections!!!! :) Travel safe and thank you for your service!
