It makes up the border of Minnesota and North Dakota.

I understand the broader demographics of these markets but still very much in the early phases of delving deeper though I must say Cleveland has definitely shown some early appeal.Other Costs - I'm just looking for a general idea of what to expect on this front of things, things such as land tax (if the US has it), Stamp Duty (again if it exists), insurances (required/desired), management fees (I want a property manager in place due to time zones/distance/peace of mind), etc, etc.Finding a Team - This is one of the harder parts, I'm not averse to a trip to America for some research later in the year (if Australia ever opens its damn borders again!)

As soon as I can cross the borders and meetup are allowed I'll make sure to attend a few one to meet more people in the area. 

Our house borders a wooded area around the lake so theire is wildlife around.

I think that everyone's circumstances are different and you should speak with a cross border specialist.
