I don't think you need to go into MA and give up on NH or anything.

When you get to far north and to west there will be less investors working those areas.  Unless you have made contact with the players out there and now what they want you might have a hard time unloading a deal even if you got something pretty good.

I'd advice stay in the eastern half of the state and South of Concord if you want to narrow it more go South of Manchester.  In these areas you will be able to find buyers much easier so a good deal should be easy to sell.

Just for example I'm out of MA and do most of my stuff here, but I look in Southern NH and would buy a good deal in the areas that I am saying.  But the house would have to be pretty much free to even consider looking at something in like Berlin.
