Milton and Farmington can be excellent choices, too, often with more budget-friendly options and the chance to add value in less saturated areas, might have better cash flow luck here.For lenders and agents, I'd recommend networking with those who have experience specifically in the NH Seacoast markets since these towns can vary in terms of tenant demographics and rental demands.

This Meadowbrook Dr SE property presented an excellent opportunity due to its favorable location and untapped potential.

Franklinton is undergoing rapid transformation, with developments like The Gravity Projects, new breweries, and an expanding arts district driving change.Safety and Future Outlook:Increased Investments: New developments bring better lighting, public spaces, and infrastructure, naturally improving safety.Community Growth: More residents and businesses create activity, discouraging crime and boosting the neighborhood's vibrancy.Police and Outreach: Enhanced patrols and local organizations address crime and substance issues.While challenges remain, ongoing investments and gentrification make Franklinton safer and more attractive.

If you are offering excellent services, you'll win and your clients will win too.

@Matt Wan you've received some excellent advise here.

If the property meets your financial and lifestyle goals, it could be an excellent first house hack, but be cautious with the risks and have a contingency plan.Good luck!

Use an excellent property manager.
