Brian Kressin, and his wife Wenli, have lived overseas for over 15 years. By living overseas for so long, Brian and Wenli faced the situation that many people face: they can either buy real estate and become absentee landlords or not purchase any real estate at all. It would be ideal to be able to live close to their rental properties, but this was not an option for Brian and Wenli. Instead of bypassing the opportunity that real estate offers, they made the decision to invest in real estate knowing that they wouldn't be traditional landlords. This book is designed for any person who wants to invest in real estate. All real estate investors face some of the same issues, most of which are discussed in this book, but Brian also explores deeper the challenges of investing in real estate as an absentee landlord. Managing your properties presents unique situations when career or other life choices requires you to live in a community far from the property you own. This book will give you the tools to be a successful real estate investor while also following other pursuits.
