<prompt> Human: I have a job that requires me to move countries once every year or two. I anticipate having this lifestyle for another 15 years, after which I will be in a position to have a better-paying, stationary job. My husband and I know where wed like to settle down when were finished traveling, and the perfect house there is for sale affordable, historic, and has links to my great-great-great-grandfather. Should we look into buying it now, rent it out, so it will be waiting for us when we get back? Or is this awful timing?Some more details: House is 200k and I have 46k ready for downpaymentclosing costs. This is our first house purchase.My retired dad lives near the area and is a handy man, so he would be ready to do repairs for us if needed. We have a few siblings who would be interested in renting from us at least for the first 2 years, then after that we would need to let an agent handle it.  <response>: If this was 5 years, then yes Id say its a good purchase. But 15 years is so far out there I dont think you can accurately predict this will be your home. This would be a rental property investment more than anything.I would advise you not to do it. If you save for the next 15 years, and let your money grow in the markets, you could pay for a house outright once youre ready to settle down
