Network with on the ground real estate investors and you'll see that real estate offers a greater return than the market (At the very least equal).And a toast to the @Michael Street, a self responsible gentlemen who will be vacating a job to an incoming college grad before he's 100 without the need for assistance from the American taxpayer!

I am an investor, realtor, attorney, and my company provides property management, so we are a one stop shop for OOS investors like yourself.

IE as Wayne states bring in a cash partner.. then you are using non of your own cash..put in the time and effort to find this person then go shopping.
