New Member US citizen residing in Lisbon, Portugal

Hello,

My name is Jessica Matthews, A wife to a US service member and mother of three. Now that our children are in school full-time I have a lot more time to educate myself and work towards our goals. 

We would like to have my husband retire and become a full time investment team.  Currently buy and hold is what interests us. Our experience come from two properties, we lived in each for a period of time, then rented them. One did not work out (praying we learned from our mistakes) and cost us more then it made us. The other we sold for a large profit. 

We move often giving us an advantage to know many cities and states (happy to share this knowledge). We have lived in Jacksonville, FL- Milton, FL- Corpus Christi, TX- Memphis, TN- Seattle, WA- Whidbey Island, WA - Montgomery, AL- Monterey, CA- Lisbon, Portugal  

We are currently stationed overseas, it is wonderful but also makes the task of investing in the US a bit tricker. Does anyone have experience doing deals from overseas? Looking forward to connecting. Thanks in advance.
