I'm interested in a city with a lot of outdoor activities (mountain biking, camping, fishing, etc.) and other things to do (I'm 25 and single, so looking for a place that's easy to meet people my age), that also has affordable housing that I can actually buy. 

If your tenants can't stand the smell outdoors for a few minutes they need to stay inside or rent a place with acreage in the country.

I have heard that it attracts outdoors enthusiasts but don't know much more than that. 

and a half hour is about the max commute time I'm willing to entertain. 

I'm not seeking to do any permitted renovations there.1st unit has a walk out door below grade w/2 windows + a door that leads to a shared bulkhead space.2nd unit has a traditional basement stairwell + a door that leads to a shared bulkhead space.I think the rooms still have to meet the R310.1 fire code in order to be properly rented.

Many entertainers and people that travel own them and they are affordable if you purchase used.

I've been entertaining a cash-out refi for quite a while now and may bite the bullet on that soon.

There is a lot to do here from an outdoors perspective and the economy is diverse.  

I am now looking for an outdoor security camera that doesn't require wi fi.
