You need to have a strong why to drive you.

What drives this neighborhood? 

You can do that, but I can't hit that number for you.I'd say go drive the properties if you can to save us time....if you don't like the neighborhood or the house or something about it, saves me an hour of time.If you are marketing for deals, give us those of interest you don't want.

I'd prefer to stay within a 20 minute drive from where I currently am (Columbia).

Drive and walk the neighborhoods.

We've seen the hype about the gigafactory and how many jobs it would bring and then watched investors overpay (IMHO) and drive up prices in the Del Valle area only to find those rents don't fit the budget of the employees moving here; oops!

Invermere is the central town on the 93/95 corridor (Golden to Fernie) and its surrounding towns are mainly frequented by Calgarians for at least overnight because it's a 3-hour drive so tourism isn't likely to go down, if anything up because of the boom with Covid.

This house started as my primary home. FHA with 3% down. Moved and rented and cash ...

This is why lower interest rates usually drive up prices on real estate.
