Change of Investment Plans

[Anthony W.]

Hello BP Community,

I am looking for ALL feedback. I am still a newbie but have been reading in the BRRRR method and just as i was going to pull the trigger i find out that i will no longer be residing in the US, I am receiving a promotion and have a child on the way. To my point I have narrowed my sights on two vehicles, long distance investing or note investing. I will be stationed in Germany for 3-4 years. I have about 25k to invest which vehicle do you think would be best? Please be honest and brutal, even now ideas are welcome. Thanks

Anthony

That's a lot to juggle. Acclimating to a country halfway across the world while raising a young family. I am by no means a financial advisor, but if I found myself in a similar situation, I would start a Roth IRA, putting in the max contribution each of the next four years ($6k/year). Toss it in an a few broad ETFs or if I wanted to be a little more involved, picking a dozen blue chips and a few REITs to get my real estate fix. Best off luck on your next adventure!
