The Midwest will have the drain, as will New England. 

I was the agent and I recommend the lender, a small local credit union that serves all of New England, Hanscom Federal Credit Union.

I was growing tired of the 26 -36 weeks/yr living in hotels, but was sitting on a reasonable pile of retained earnings (had no time to spend any of it).In 2008/2009, the Canadian dollar was at a high (par or better to the USD) and it was not a good time to repatriate earnings that were in USD or EUR, so I elected to become a {mostly} silent partner in a few small apartment buildings in New England {I did help with electrical, communications and {what is now called} "smart home" features during the renovations of a higher-end building}.  

EXP also just announced we are opening up Australia and England. 

REI in New England was so over-saturated it was hard to find anything.

Are any surrounding cities out of state within New England??
