Thanks all for the advice, I have decided to focus on 3 main zip codes that make up the better areas of Gainesville.

The main building is a duplex with the bottom about 1150sqft and the top 1150sqft, both 3bd 1bath.

I spent almost 10 years in the woods of Northern Maine, the only guy for a mile in every direction, and I am seriously motivated to plop my but into a rocking chair on a wrap around porch in the middle 100 acres ....Experiences, critiques, questions, etc are all welcome.

My main objective is to acquire at least 2 properties this year, more would be awesome.

It mainly boils down to having 1 property and 2 sources of income.

I try to set up my sprint cell with google voice but you had to choose which number to be the main one.

Actually meeting my RE broker on friday for a lunch at Solmar down by North and Main.

You'll see that my main investment goal is to acquire long-term holds, and to get the capital needed for the down payments by doing some flips.Other Context: I'll probably move to NC from HI in about 18 months and would execute the plan there.

A property in Maine comprised of 4 small parcels was merged by ordinance into a single conforming lot.

Main level - enclosed porch, living room, dining room, bathroom, and kitchen2nd level - 3 bedrooms, bathroom,Attic - sitting area, un-permitted kitchen, 2 bedrooms, office, and un-permitted bathroom. and lots of storage (I will take out the kitchen and bathroom and cap everything so it is compliant)basement - new gas boiler, and water heater, unfinished but +9' ceiling height.
