On the positive San Diego has perhaps best weather in US (in my view definitely best in continental us).  

who is thinking along these lines: if you are looking at properties 4 hours away you might as well expand your horizons to the entire continental US.

Evan,You are right to use some caution on your first out of state rental especially out of the continental United States.

I stayed in a place like this in hungary for one week it was 500 dollars for the week and a continental breakfast.

Between July 2009, and July 2010, the couple used more than $761,000 from this hidden account for payments on an American Express credit card; car loans for a 2006 Range Rover, a 2007 Bentley Continental, and a 2008 Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe; household expenses; legal expenses; department stores purchases; and a bulk gold coin purchase.

In 1781, after a similar wreckless printing of continental dollars, a pair of shoes in Virginia cost $5,000!

A bed and breakfast provides boarding for no more than 5 guests and serves a continental breakfast.The county also has a lower transient 6% taxI am planning on building a new home for this because currently new construction is being listed at the same price per. sq. ft in my market as 50 year old homes.

I moved up here during the 2008 crash of Continental Ranch (lost 2 of my homes in that because AOL shut down). 1. $300 for what you're thinking is a duplex is most likely a house with a casita.

These include Abott labs, Honda, Facebook, Amazon, JP Morgan Chase, Nationwide, Root Insurance.....The list goes on. 2) Logistically you can get to, I think its 80ish% (don't quote me on that number), of the continental US within a 12 hour drive of Columbus, so it will remain a logistical hub. 3) Then there is also Ohio State or "THE" Ohio State as all the natives like to correct you...so that is an economic driver for sure.From a REI point of view I really like that the cost of either a Single Family home in the burbs, or a duplex 5 mins outside downtown is attainable, even for a "normal person" with a day job.
