Unfortunately our rural towns have been dying since the 50s/60s - which is sad as there are lots of cool and fascinating places - but it all happens slowly - first a large employer leaves, or maybe there's a farming crisis, tax revenue decreases, then folks with younger kids move away or the younger kids grow up then they immediately leave then never come back, then the schools start to die, then the schools close, then no one wants to live there, then the local hospitals or clinics lose fed or state funds then they close, their workers leave etc. 

It could possibly be converted into a three unit rental though, and would give us room to grow.

Our regulations are better than most markets, entry points are affordable, rent ratios are reasonable or better, and the city is growing which allows for steady appreciation and rental increases.

How long do you believe this market can continue growing?

This has worked for me (while everything has been going up since 2011) because otherwise I would have been paying down debts while there would have been opportunities that slipped away while I had no investment ready / re-allocatable assets.If we return to 2009 like scenario again I will change strategy by paying down debts faster, lowest balance first a la "Ramsey", but I will still be saving/investing.I think it's best to concentrate on getting your net worth to increase each month and to do that, even more than a little extra work hours, you need assets that grow.

@Adam Johnson to grow my units I have to have doors facing each other.

It can be a great place to learn and grow your investment knowledge.I have no idea how to invest with a  J1 Visa or what comes along with it so I won't even go there.As far as the best way to start there are many many ways to spend $45k.

They're always a great way to grow your network quickly when in town for a few days.
