Brand new investor who moves often

Ayanna McClintic
Posted

I am a brand new investor who moves every 3 months due to my job. My plan is to purchase 5 properties within the next year. I know in my readings alot of the advice speaks to learning your market and going to houses in your area. I do not have that luxury of getting to know my "home" area. I also am unable to use my VA home loan at first until I buy a property that is expected to be my primary residence.

Any advice on how to get started with my situation? I am interested in buying MF units starting off. I have even thought about purchasing through turn key such as roofstock to help with long distance investing. Thanks in advance!

@Ayanna McClintic

Is there an area that you would like to end up in or that you have ties to like where you grew up or where your family is? I would focus on an area like this and then you can put together your team there. Hopefully the area is landlord friendly with a growing population and economy.
