My future real estate goals are to A) eventually make enough cash flow to not *need* to work more than a part time job, and B) to eventually own a place here in Japan (probably very small / cheap and in a rural area--could be a house or a condo) that I can live in whenever I come back to Japan.I feel like my options are a bit limited as to what I can do "right now" other than read books and learn a lot, but I would be interested to hear if anyone has any information on any of the following:Investing in the Seattle (or Washington) area Investing somewhere far away from where you liveBuying property in a foreign countryThings I can start doing now from JapanThanks in advance!
