Anyone with experience with living and working in two cities!?

[Chris Parrish]

Hey fellow investors, I was wondering if any of you had any experience living and working in two cities? 

I'm an agent and currently live in the Portland/Gresham area and do all of my real estate transactions throughout the Portland metro area. However, my wife and I have been toying with the idea of turning our rental property in Bend, Oregon into a second home and living there part time while trying to establish a real estate business in both cities. We lived in Bend for 5 years, and I have hundreds of contacts up there already. I don't think it would be hard for me to begin closing a few deals a year up there, but I worry it may be too much trying to be effective in both cities. 

I would love to hear if any of you have tried doing something like this before and if it works or if it ends up being too costly with the travel distance. 

Thanks in advance!
