Being a over the road trucker getting into REI

Brock Bowen
Posted

so I am all excited to be here and to learn all I can. That being said I was wondering if anyone else is in my position? My wife and I are truckers gone 2 or 3 months at a time. We stay home for the most a week then gone again. So trying to figure out how to search for a investment then when its purchased do renovation and so on. Also it's just my wife and I. Mothers old and housebound. Any tips or anyone who can relate would be great. Also I am from Tennessee. Thanks in advance for any help.

Brock

Research can be done while on the road using a phone and computer. Do you have an agent working on your behalf to find deals? That would be the first step. It's important to use a REALTOR that understands investment property and even better if they own some of their own. They can keep an eye on the market and try to find deals. You can check the numbers while on the road or during your stops. Offers can be written and signed electronically, you can tour the property with a video call on a smartphone, etc. 

You just need to educate yourself on the technology available today.
