@Drew Eldridge Remote contract paramedic with 7 years in the ER. ) if that counts.

Hello everyone , First , I would like to say hello. I’ve only been a member for a few days but I am already learning so much. I am new to Real Estate Investing and have no properties. ( Except a Class A motorhome, which is totally for sale if someone is interested) A little background on me. I currently work overseas on a 2 month out 1 month stateside rotation. This limits my options somewhat, but I am exploring long distance investing and team building. So I am not able to be physically presents most of the time. This is the downside. The upside is that while working overseas my income is tax-free. For every 3 month cycle, after expenses, I am left with 17,000. I was paying things down but all my expenses are low interest 4 percent. The problem I have run into. My company doesn’t provide a W-2 or 1099. I get a printed sheet that lists the numbers. I attempted to obtain normal financing and was unsuccessful. My questions are as follows. 1. What type of investing should I do? Rentals make the most sense but with HML being my only option I’m not sure if that’s a good idea. Flips are also difficult to do from out of state, although my brother in law was formerly an appraiser/inspector and is willing to be my “boots”. Or should I avoid the HML altogether and try to purchase cheaper properties with cash ? 10-30$ properties seem risky for long distance work. 2. Is HML a viable option for BRRR from out of country? I would be interested in speaking with any other overseas contractors that may be in the same situation I am. Thank you, I hope this is in the right place. Take Care Jonathan

Hello Everyone ! M name is Jonathan Bouren. I am reading through the Flipping Blueprint and The Book on Rental Property Investment ( 3rd time for both ) My goal is to have a solid rental portfolio and then supplement with occasional flips. I currently have no properties and my experience is limited to reading. ( unless you count renting out a motorhome) ((which is actually for sale if anyone is interested)) lol. I want to learn all i can while browsing the forums here and come up with a solid plan before I buy my first property. Looking forward to gaining knowledge and hopefully working with you. I work overseas so I am particularly interested in long distance and turnkey investing and networking. Take Care !
