Quote from @Dan Keefe: Hello everyone,I’m a traveling physical therapist but grew up in Maine and am looking to purchase multi families in Biddeford using an FHA and subsequently to house hack in.My question to the Southern Maine community is in regards to the rent data in Biddeford and Saco.

This is all changing very soon with the construction of the Foulger Pratt's new "WestEnd Alexandria" Landmark mall redevelopment, a new 4 million square foot mixed-use redevelopment, including a new 1.1 million square foot Inova medical center already starting, with completion set for 2028.The development notably won the Red Clay Development of the Year award.On top of the +2,000 healthcare worker jobs the development will immediately bring to the area upon completion, the 120,000 square feet of office space will also bring a large number of jobs to the west end of Alexandria.

What some of my clients have done in the past is look for more creative rental avenues to be able to charge a premium on rent such as the traveling nursing niche like furnished finder. 

Do I give up access to transportation, restaurants, cultural activities, doctors, emergency medical care, religious and business activities, vet care and maybe more, to live in the country on my ranch or on the beach in a beautiful country, or do I keep access to all those things and live in the city? 

I’m not from the US and currently live in Europe most of the time.I’ve found some apartments that could work well for my needs—I plan to rent them out on Airbnb and reserve a few nights for myself when I travel there for work.My question is: apart from the purchase price (I’ve seen listings on Zillow averaging around $150k in areas like downtown Dallas, Old East, and Plano), what other costs should I expect—both during the acquisition and in monthly payments?

Keep in mind travel time, repairs, and lifestyle to manage the out of state rental.

I have been travelling.

You cannot just casually start this medical expense plan, it's not an IRA.

Things that have stood out so far in my research: 1-Close proximity to Metro North (90 minute ride to NYC)2-Vassar Medical Center3-Marist & Vassar Colleges 4- The Walkway over the Hudson5-Restaurants/Cafes/Hotels, etc.Thanks for your time.
