The closer you get to Boston, the more you are competing from an investor standpoint with investors who are seeking portfolio diversification and appreciation -- both of which increases costs.In my opinion it comes down to you what you're looking for.

Unfortunately real estate alone doesn't offer a ton of opportunities either in a traditional planning sense (i.e. not talking about 1031s, property managment companies, etc.)With active trades or businesses many times we can advocate for large retirement contributions into 401ks or SEPs which can save a bunch in taxes.

I will give it a shot and see what kind of activity I get after a month or so. 

After five years of active duty I deiced a change of scenery was a good idea, which lead me to Cape Cod.My goals in real estate are buy and hold rental properties, mainly multifamily.

High risk involves things like replacing windows and scraping activities and have to be done by a licensed deleading contractor. 

I am seeking advice as I explore best option for this house.

Hmm, i never heard of such, i'll definitely seek more answers in this direction.

I also found an article noting some of the newer activities to enjoy near the area, such as a new casino, breweries, hiking and camping, and more with only about a 2 hour drive from NYC. 

From what I hear from active participants (and read) for those doing deals in the DFW metro region, it is hard, but not impossible.

Or I'm open to talking with other investors looking to raise capital for active deals.
