Fingers crossed and waiting for the thaw. 

Quarterly might be better for you so if you have a bad month there is a chance you can make it up by the time it’s due — not sure how much it really matters.To cross over into tax... the irs gift limit is $15k a year per person.  

Fingers crossed I don't scare everybody off. 

I tell investors who want to invest OOS to make three lists.1. list every place you have ever lived, even in school2. list every town where your family lives (only the ones you actually like and trust)3. list every town where your closest friends liveYou then take these lists and cross-reference them with what you are finding on the lists you are asking about because then you have more knowledge of the area than a novice and you have people who know people instead of building all of your relationships from scratch.

Talk with @Elliott Milek he an investor and a cross border specialist 

I agree that close to the Trumbull border, sacred heart university and blackrock area good places to start looking. 

Another home in our neighborhood, that is smaller and on a less desirable piece of land, just rented for $1,750/month.Our mortgage interest rate is 3.65% and refinancing March 2020.We are moving cross country and are looking at homes $300,000 or less.If we don't sell our home and use the equity for a downpayment, we have between $10-20K for a downpayment, which would mean we require PMI on a mortgage.We currently make between $250-450 a month through options trading on the RUT.

Not sure if we will cross paths but again just wanted to let you know there is someone local if you wanted chat or meet up some day. 

So that will affect the price of all building materials, but especially concrete, because concrete is heavy, and labor intensive, and so machines pick up the slack there.Another material I've been watching is CLT's, or cross laminated timbers.

*Oh, and I cross posted this in another forum.
