For starters, it was halfway between NAS Pensacola and NAS Whiting Field so I would have easy commutes to both and it would be no problem finding longer-term roommates for people working at either place.

Hi everyone, I am interested in purchasing property in NJ, specifically Hudson or Essex County.I just noticed that this property in Jersey City is being offered at a relatively low price and is within a short distance from Manhattan:https://www.redfin.com/NJ/Jersey-City/332-Martin-Luther-King-Dr-07305/unit-6/home/36430829Do you think it could potentially be a good investment?

@Matt Lowery if you don't have to be right in the city of Portland (if she can commute to her treatments or take the MAX/Tram) there are communities/suburbs in the Portland area that have less strict Airbnb rules. 

Traffic is a major issue.. so depending on if your commuting or not that can dictate where your going to live as well. ( or want to live.

Far from work, and friends, potentially a worse commute? 

The "Catskills" span quite a distance, so I can't help with much else other than the village/town of Catskill itself.

Hi @Kathy Tan,I recommend reading, Long-Distance Real Estate Investing, by David Greene.

Just sent out a direct mail campaign to a midwestern market that I intend to invest in from distance. 

@Andy MejiaYou have to look at areas outside of NY that are commutable to NY.
