The place I have is over 30 years old and a mansion ("mansion" in Japan means an apartment, not "mansion" like a huge house). 

I'm just south of the twin cities, but I'd think Fairbault or Owatanna might be a good place to meet since there centally located between Rochester, Mankato and Albert Lea.

We did a bunch of research on where to purchase a turn key property with management in place.  

Who pays when the resident knows they will eventually leave and stop taking care of the place? 

The fact that you have already owned and sold a rental property gives you a great experience to start from.In terms of the best place to invest - that is whatever place meets your criteria, goals and investing style.Personally flips have not been working as well for me lately, but when we get the right BRRRR deal those are still working well.

We have a property in PA where we will place 2 units in the unfinished basement.

The Triangle has been repeatedly voted one of the top places in the US.

And if you bought this property several years ago, then you probably already have a killer rate, so suggestions to refinance seem silly as you probably already have the lowest rate....especially if your refinance was completed as you were an owner occupant, and not categorized as an investor to a Lender.In terms of tax implications, again, it depends on what your ultimate goal is, but if you placed this into a trust, or even a beneficiary deed, it would pass through to a beneficiary who would not have to pay capital gains on it in order to sell it. 

Nature campaigns, direct mail, text services, accounting, etc all in one place. 

@Jadan WilliamsIf your job is flexible enough to allow you to live anywhere, that's an amazing place to be.
