I can see many Vancouverites would drive down for vacation.

Another broker explained this happened to friends of his, they live in a *very* nice house in a *very* nice area, and they had people all hours of the day driving up and looking in the windows in their remote area.Now, keeping an eye on those is a good idea, I just want you to know what you're really working with here.

Driving for Dollars.

A fast way to get started would be to call every single FSBO in the areas you’re willing to drive to, and make them offers.

Stack cash, do not pay off the car (but also never buy another new car,...your driving around in your 9th rental buddy...)   

My question is am I sitting on a wholesale gold mine or should I drive out of town and look for something in a bigger town?

The first pillar is avoiding unnecessary and risky activities (don't drink and drive, insurance generally won’t cover your poor decisions) and take good care of your investments(maintain your property, etc) - these simple steps will help you prevent lawsuits before they even occur.

Residential condos are selling for $400+ sq ft. and no new builds will happen ever as town is surrounded by non-develop-able land.

I know I will still end up paying money, so what is a good amount to target for a mortgage payment (looking in the Philadelphia and surrounding areas).

I My first property I am preferring to be near by Myrtle Beach SC and surrounding area.
