@Rolayne Taylor Starting with one rental in 2019 is an excellent foundation!

My book recommendations are not mindset necessarily, they're specifically tailored to passive investing and the reason for this is I think having an educational foundation on mindset and strategy are important but getting too hung up on mindset may actually keep you from taking action.

It gives you complete control over the property and helps you build the foundation for future growth.If you're planning to expand your portfolio, I strongly recommend partnering with a professional management company.

Remember, no matter what path you choose, consistent action and a commitment to learning will always be the foundation of your success.

With a strong foundation, you'll be ready to invest confidently when you return to the U.S.Good luck! 

My Dad passed about 30 years ago but he certainly gave me a foundation for RE.

We got it under contract but then canceled the contract after some concerns with the foundation.

To clarify some details that I should have mentioned earlier:I am in no rush to leave my W-2 position, as it provides great security, a steady income, benefits, and a stable foundation.

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

This is just the foundation.
