I'm an investor in the North Country near the Adirondack Mountains.

The criteria came from a gentlemen that was having much success in another part of the country.

Combined with their forums, templates, and continuous support they're very good value.If you're hungry for more after that MHU has several boot camps per year around the country.  

Looking for good opportunities in New Hampshire (Nashua area) or eastern Massachusetts.

It was voted the most content area in the country!

No and I've only thought of it once and that was because a buildable lot in Raintree Country Club (arboretum area) came up...but I still didn't do it.It's too eexpensive, takes too long and way too time consuming especially for an investor and LAND PRICES in any area you should be investing in would be insanely priced.I think its great you are thinking of all options.

Getting Dick and Jane to sell you their house privately, let alone let you tie it up to try and sell it at a mark-up, can be quite a challenge here.In most jurisdictions in the country if you are not taking possession of the property (i.e. owning it), you would be brokering without a licence which can get you into trouble.

Thanks for your service to our country. 

Once you get that done then you can make an offer SUBJECT TOO receiving approved building permits from the country or city or whoever the jurisdiction is.This is what I do in Charleston these days when you have BAR review and other impediments I make my offers subject to actual permits being obtained..

In particular, I want to get started renovating homes outside of the Northampton, MA area, where quaint country homes are a prime market for visiting professors and working professionals.
