My initial hope was to invest in Canada to avoid complicated tax scenarios, but I know members of the BP community have had good success with cross border investing as long as it's structured correctly.I'm looking to work at least 1 more year overseas, but I'd like to start transitioning into investing over the next 12 months if possible to do so from abroad.I'm really excited to enter into this exciting industry, and hopefully work with some of the great real estate minds here on BP!

Just as you said, as for where we want to be long term, after his two years we will likely end up selling the NY property in an effort to consolidate our portfolio closer to where we want to be long term in the Delaware area.What I wonder is it a good idea to try to live in flip with a low potential profit margin or buy and hold in a potential risky area to live for basically free?

If you still want to be able to drive to the property within a few hours, I would recommend checking out communities in Pennsylvania or Delaware.

I also think you can de-prioritize your dependable relationships, as you can't really know if those relationships are dependable until you start using them.
