While I do not live in ID, I'd love to connect you with one of the best agents out there.

@Chris Seveney I for some reason recall when I lived up north in some locations heat went out and if it was longer than a specific peroid of time it would deem the unit uninhabitable - but I absolutely have been wrong in the past.

I'm from Newburyport and lived in Seaport for a while.

Finding deals outside of California can definitely open up new opportunities, especially given the cost of living and market dynamics in the state.When looking for properties in other states, consider focusing on areas with strong rental demand, economic growth, and population increase.

I think it would be the right direction since we already decided to buy using a VA loan and live in SC.

Lower land and building costs mean higher returns on investment, and there’s a quiet but consistent need for quality housing as remote work and cost-of-living shifts draw people away from cities.

If a home was previusly owned and lived in by a famous person, does it add much value? 

I live and work in the Atlanta, GA area.

After living through the GFC and the shrinking market for local banks, they saw an opening in the market for what they call "consultative banking" like they had years before and decided to start a bank.
