Then we got engaged and she moved in with me. then we spent a year and a half planning and saving for our wedding.

thanks for the input everyone, @rush wall, your absolutely right, we are in the process of getting financing set up first and pinpointing areas wed like to target.

I'm trying to minimize money out of pocket with wedding coming up.

When I was interested in learning about real estate investing in 2015 I had a business that I owner operated, another business that I was trying to get off of the ground, planning a wedding, driving LYFT late nights to save extra money for the wedding, working out 1 hour per day.

Property #2 is our primary residence which we've owned for 16 years...we owe $178k and can sell pretty much as is for approximately $350-$370 OR  we could hold it and rent it out- for $2,500/mo...after running some numbers we 'd have a NET cash flow of about $200 which would be a good start towards our long term goal.

I need to find somewhere quickly as the wedding is coming up, but I don't want to rush into a poor business move just because of this timeline I'm on.

I got a stepdaughters wedding out of state and of course christmas this month so it will hard for me to get free.

The area is not popular for weddings and wine tasting but not a super hot location.The complete dry spells occurred each time there was a CV scare.

Seriously...I'm a wedding photographer and I can't count the number of times I've returned a call and the bride was shocked.

If you are around on Wed., I'm hosting the first Unofficial BP Boston Meetup in Woburn.
