Doing your first one come's  with a huge learning curve and adding travelling on top of that also not being ensconced in a community by living there has it's disadvantages.

Family has a travel agency so it is very easy for me to implement, and would make some money back on the cost.  

Replace any "bad spending" habits with Free BP Education!!!!

Then travels to a catch basin where a sump pump can pump it away from the home.

Easton kinda got their act together (having a large local college on your north boundary helps), Bethlehem got a shot in one area (then again a couple billion $$ casino doesn't hurt either)... but look closer at where a fair amount of casino workers are living.So Allentown gets an arena - small, but decent enough (saves traveling to Reading for theirs).

Guest's traveling from out of town however, will spend most of their time out of the home and exploring the area, leaving me to a pretty peaceful work day.

You need overhead that will allow you to live/travel/play comfortably and survive/thrive in the lean times.  

I'm probably your guy, if not I'll take it apart and have it figured out in about a day.In my adventures and travels in my life I was able to buy a house in Texas when I was 25 or so using my VA loan (Prior military) and since then turn it into a rental.

No idea what's important to you, but personally, if I were looking for a new city to settle in (and $600k for a primary), I'd be looking in the towns and cities from Santa Barbara, traveling north for ~150 miles.
