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).

I have been studying real estate investment for about 18 months for about 8 to 10 hours a day while I medically recover.  

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.  

@Apkesh Kumar , I'd stick more toward the middle of the US if you're traveling for work.

Would travel to look at investments be legitimate?
