I live about 2 miles east of Orange & Central (for non-locals, that's considered our CBD's bullseye) in a 3/2 that I had rented with roommates for 5 years but then purchased from the owner nearly 3 years ago.

Until as recently as the last two years there was little demand in being centrally located, and living near Tucson’s CBD was viewed negatively.

The ultimate goal of this farm will be to sell the hemp, mainly for CBD oil. 

The traffic there is horrible and more and more people are finding residency within the CBD areas and that means condos.

I just think the market is so different here we have no choice to get in the market but with single properties either a family home outside the CBD or an apartment closer.

I put all my savings/profit into a CBD company that I am part owner of.

Any thoughts on the area in terms of safety, demographics, CBD access etc.

But house hacking @ 500k could be tricky in the Vancouver market - may be out of reach without more funds or moving away from the CBD.

But as far as becoming a rental it seems a bit far fetched with such a low populations.Here in a suburb of Melbourne, possibly 30/40mins from the CBD by car I might be able to get a townhouse for 500K possible a multi family home for maybe 1mill if lucky.
