Quote from @Matt Wan: Can I purchase a property using a traditional mortgage without being physically present for any part of the process?

If an investor has the time, knowledge, capital and experience to be an active property investor then there are a number of strategies , that, depending on the economic market can be used to accelerate wealth building.  

Contact potential sellers who are not actively seeking to sell their real estate holdings.  

However, there's a critical detail that many tax advisors conveniently overlook when promoting these studies.Here's the uncomfortable truth: If you're a high-income earner (AGI > $150,000) and not actively managing your properties, those promised tax savings might be locked away for years.

I retired in 2008 with 21 years in the Air Force.13 sales in your first year is pretty impressive, particularly for someone on active duty.

We would like for the investment to be treated as active, of course.

So, if you have 10 units and you are going to pay $1,500 a month and you are working on an active income job, too, this is an easy switch due to the labor mentally and physically (even if it is just phone calls) to get these rentals running as a well-oiled machine.  

Take time to learn through military-focused resources like Military House Hacking or Active Duty Passive Income, and connect with other military investors online or on base.

Distressed properties are real estate assets that are usually sold at a discount due to financial or physical distress.

My friend and I are planning to buy an investment property (My second his first). It would be his primary residence so most likely a duplex or triplex house hack. We are running into a roadblock of him getting approve...
