My wife and I have always dreamed of purchasing a business in the mountains and living there.  

Logically it seems to make sense to buy the SFH, but somehow I get the sense that it would be a lot harder to continue the house hacking dream if I go the SFH route.  

I personally am interested in the area since it is IMO the dream location for me to live in one day.

He has great energy and likes to get things done quickly which is a wholesalers dream! 

I am on the side of low cash, with a minimum wage job at the moment, but that does not stop me from seeing the bigger picture and dreaming on.

I am currently in the Boston area and would love to meet/talk/learn from fellow investors or newbies like me (Teamwork makes the dream work).

If we did either of the options above maybe 3 times we could probably work up to our dream situation which is a home in a desirable mountain location with acreage and "bells and whistles". 

I wish you a wonderful career and may GOD grants you all your dreams come true !!
