Hello all, I'm a new member from North Conway, NH. I've been reading and listening to all the info I have time for. The BP podcasts really got me moving in the right direction. I bought my first house two years ago and we're living in it until we can rehab it for vacation rentals. (North Conway is a year round tourist town)
Looking forward to all the possibilities out there is exciting, what concerns me is that I don't live in a large town. The closest city is Portland, ME which is an hour away, and then Concord and Manchester, NH. My goal is to buy and hold, just waiting on funds. I have also been listening to Epic and Ultimate REI podcasts and the ideas for wholesaling do sound appealing. I feel apprehensive to start looking at properties that are not near my town. Can anyone share some thoughts on this? Thanks for everything now and in the future!

I'm the same as Marco Santarelli, I am an out-of-state investor and work with all clients who buy turnkey properties. Definitely an easier way to go about getting the best returns (which are usually out of your local area). Some people would rather flip and fixer up, but I'm not one of them :)
