If you are open to moving close by your future investment property, I would start by deciding on states\regions that you are comfortable moving to. 

I currently have four doors in Northern CA region.

@Angelo ProtoSome of the top vacation markets I hear about often are:-Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania-Catskills and upstate NY-Tennessee - Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge-Shenandoah Virginia-Blue Mountain region of Georgia-Many Florida marketsIf proximity to home are important, the top two may be of benefit to you.

i use berkshire bank, it's a more local/regional bank in MA that i've been with for like 15 years for personal & both businesses. i like that i can walk in and everyone knows me, anytime i have an issue, which i just about never do. i actually didn't know stessa was a bank, i thought they were just a bookkeeping software!

It is, by far, the largest casino near Charlotte or in the region, and has been drawing thousands of workers from out of town pushing rent prices, and investment opportunity very high.

My first real estate investment was in Syracuse NY in 2005.I relocated to Augusta, Georgia in 2006 to learn with a multi-family investor/mentor.And then in 2009, I founded Auben Realty, which has grown from a small local shop to a regional presence with current locations in Chattanooga, TN, Columbia, SC, Greenville, Atlanta, Charlotte and Jacksonville.Recently, Auben purchased a property management company in Kansas City to begin our Midwest expansion.

Personally I refuse to deal with any of the large banks, (Wells, BofA, Chase) and prefer to deal with smaller regional banks or credit unions.
