Can it be done long-distance?

Hello everyone! I'm based overseas.... is it possible to buy and manage rental properties from abroad? I am thinking that if people can do it across the U.S. while living in different states, it must be possible from overseas as well.

@Jordan Morris Welcome to bigger pockets! Yes you can absolutely buy and manage rental properties from anywhere in the world. I have not done it internationally, but I have purchased, managed, BRRRR'd, and flipped multiple properties out-of-state successfully while active duty military (I've been in the Navy for a little over 14 years now).

I recommend starting with David Greene's book "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing". That book was hugely impactful for me, and really opened my mind up to the idea that you don't have to invest where you live. It's all about having the right people on your team!

I'm happy to chat about my journey as well or answer any questions you may have.

Good luck and keep us updated on your journey!
