Military family moving to South Coast

[Andrew R.]

Hello BP!

I'm active duty and it looks like we might get orders to the South Coast! I'm originally from the Cape and excited to be closer to home after AK, FL, and currently VA. We will have 2 kids under 2 and are hoping to house hack a 2-4 unit in a safe/family friendly area within 40 minutes of New Bedford. Right now we are focusing our research in New Bedford, Acushnet, Fairhaven, Dartmouth, and Mattapoisett. We have found some great investment opportunities but it's hard to find one we would want to call home.

Any advice on locations/opportunities would be greatly appreciated!

Also, any recommendations on investor friendly realtors, banks, property mgt, plumbers, ect.....send 'em over!  Long distance networking sucks!

Looking forward to ramping up our search.  Planning a trip this April to start looking.

Thanks for reading.

Andy
