A lot of people go in expecting these programs to completely change their lives. 

Preferably out of state near Charlotte NC where our daughter lives.  

I’m on the deed, not the loan for the current house I live in here in GA. 

Built in 1905, this property features a total of 2,832 square feet of living space, divided into two units.

Having a long-term rental while living abroad is do-able.Flipping houses while abroad, in my opinion, more difficult, especially if its your first go around with real estate.I would recommend taking a flight and staying in the area for a week and inspect the neighborhoods and make connections.You can reach out to @Elenis Camargo who has a PM company in Jacksonville.Best of luck though.

We have a development coming up for approval with the county adding over 100 units bordering our small town and you can bet everyone that lives in our town is upset about it. in the end though, the planning commissions in our area tend to follow the letter of the law so to speak, so if there is nothing in ordinance barring it, they will approve, generally.

I retired in my mid-50s and live a comfortable life, grateful every day for the path I chose.Looking back, I’m forever thankful to my partner who encouraged me to take that leap of faith and move to Ohio.

Unless you want to live in that district, I would avoid any and all purchases in an area like that.

I'm seeing house hack, buy a primary and rent out the ADU on AirBnb or the ultimate house hack, owner lives in the tiny ADU and AirBnb both levels of the main house in San Francisco. 

They live in a semi HCOL area called Torrance (house is in a good zip code 90503).
