We're both eager to diversify into real estate investments.Although our home base is in New Hampshire, we're open to  investing wherever we can maximize our returns.Primarily interested in multi-family investment properties to leverage our first-time homebuyer loans effectively.Initially, our focus was on purchasing properties in the New England Region (mainly NH & MA).
