The scenery and outdoor activities fit our lifestyle perfectly.

So definitely take note of the "big 4" while you are looking at the property (Roof, A/C *indoor and outdoor*, Plumbing, Electrical), plus anything else you can see.

I like your 2BR/2BA strategy especially with good outdoor living space.  

Of course you could get more for the garages than outdoor spots.

Over the weekend I installed a lock on the outdoor hose and informed tenants I would be making visits to check for leaking toilet flappers etc.After word got around I was contacted by one of the tenants to inform me that the one unit that has in-unit laundry (preexisting when I bought the property last Nov) has been running the washer at least once a day.

If you wanted to get really freaky, you could try to come up with an equation dictating the outdoor temperature at which the furnace kicks in based on the ratio of natural gas prices to electricity prices, taking into consideration the variation in efficiency of the heat pump relative to temperatures(but that would be pretty challenging!

It's a great town, but I would say an older demographic, more money, more families, more owners/less renters.Manchester is a great option, especially for young professionals - lots to do, restaurants, bars, walking trails, easy access to Hartford and the suburban towns that host lots of farmers markets and outdoor activities. 

Also much harder to steal than outdoor units if that is an issue.These companies make them: MagicPak, Skymark, and FirstCo.Let me know what you guys decide on since I am interested in knowing!

The allure comes from very generous common spaces, lounge areas, outdoor space, pool areas, gyms and - I have even seen an indoor golf simulator.
