(IF you purchased and lived in property asap, then rented it out, then returned to it it sell it years later - better plan.

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

I live in Manchester NH as well. 

@Ken M. we live in one, it has an attached unit, but with a door that passes through from both units.

In BC there are extra taxes if you use the home for short term rentals (unless you are living there).

Quote from @Pravit Jarriyapurttipong: Hello,I live in Queens New York but I want to invest in Buffalo New York.Which town should be easier to manage?

I lived in CA for 20 years, and we had W2 employees in CO and NJ, where we do not own communities.Also, we take much pride in the work that we do to renovate the homes.

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.

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.
