i'm also hoping/wanting it to land in DC area...there's ample enough software talent and good transportation, etc.

Hello everybody, of course we were working during last 5 years with some retailers implementing loyalty programs based on proximity marketing tools, and currently we are working for airports, transportation systems and other venues....We had the opportunity to test and compare the tree main technologies availables: ibeacon, wifi-routers and Seeketing.Not all strategies are easy to implement, and the results are very different (ibeacon < 1% of total customer engaged, wifi-router/social wifi <10%, Seeketing <70% of total customer engaged)... so more than 30 projects and six years of experience doing a lot of things... happy to share with you any detail if you are interested.Regards

I currently work in NYC so the location need to be close to public transportation, since I work crazy hours.

I don't plan on investing in any property more than 5 mins from transportation to NYC.

I was just thinking...If you find a suburb with consistent growth, growing number of jobs and diversified industries, a nearby bustling metro, talks of public transportation... would you build an airport?

There are many people that like that because of public transportation and easy access to major highways.

@Jessica Freese , Lucky you, this actually can be very beneficial for your taxes.1) If you husband makes less than roughly 100k,  the loss from rental can offset 25k of husbands' W-2 Income.2) Even if he makes more than 100k, Since you dont have a W-2 Job, with careful planning, you can qualify for RE professional status, that will help you use the entire loss from rentals against husbands' W-2 Income 3) You can convert some of your personal expenses into business expenses with the home office deductions, transportation expense ( mileage, depreciating computers, furniture, and other assets used for the rentals, and few more. 4) You can hire your kids and funnel money within the house if planned carefully. 

The weather might scare a few people away, but the locals keep themselves insulated and well-primed when the snow and wind come in.The City is actively attempting to lure millennials from Chicago with an ad campaign that highlights the City's amenities and transportation benefits.

Just stay reasonably close to "commutable" lines of transport and work your way into the city.
