Super cool apartment style living, but all one story. 

I've personally done just about every rehab scenario, properties I've lived in, properties bought as investments and even properties bought at auction.You've gotten good advice from folks on this list.

Best of luck, and if I lived nearby I think I’d be bullish on, and potentially investing in the area as well! 

But this will also lead to future inflation.The issue is going to be the rich will get richer as they can live with lower cash flow but gain appreciation.

I live in Manchester NH as well. 

Quote from @Brendan Doherty': I’ve read in books of people getting past having to live in the property they own so they can rent all units year one of ownership(living on the property with an rv).

I wanted to invest where I wanted to live and I am also from Elgin so am constantly headed further nw. 

Plus there is a lot to do here so it is hard to be bored living in NJ.

Having a long-term rental while living abroad is do-able.Flipping houses while abroad, in my opinion, more difficult, especially if its your first go around with real estate.I would recommend taking a flight and staying in the area for a week and inspect the neighborhoods and make connections.You can reach out to @Elenis Camargo who has a PM company in Jacksonville.Best of luck though.
