Buying rentals in temporary city

[Jean T.]

Does it make sense to invest in a city you may be living in temporarily to take advantage of opportunities?

I currently live in a city that I may not stay in long-term. I may have to move in the next couple of years. However, there are rental opportunities that I'd like to take advantage of.

I'm wondering if it's a bad idea to invest in this city if I might move away. I'm may hire a property manager anyway to manage the properties, and I'm thinking it may be doable if I find a reputable company.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.
