Hey, what's guys?

This thread is just to satiate my curiosity and possibly those on the younger boats. People who still have traveling-abroad-blood running hot through them. (BUT we understand the power of getting in early in real estate)

So to give you some context, I was reading the thread "Why You Should Buy A Home As Early As Possible".

As I was reading through it, this appeared:

I certainly wished I bought Real Estate earlier! I lived abroad for 5 years so wasn't interested in real estate at the time...then COVID happened.

I was about to reply then and there asking @JasonR :

"What would you have done differently or suggest your younger self to do? I know it'd be to buy a home early on as you wrote, but how would you go about it whilst traveling and living abroad? Or is it one of those things where you choose one thing over the other for the time being? (you can have it all but not everything at once type of thing)"

But then I thought a lot of members of TFLF may have experiences with traveling abroad and purchasing homes whilst doing so. Hence, it's probably better to open a thread for a discussion.
