In my area, proximity to schools & supermarkets are a big PLUS to families since they rely on walking and mass transit for transportation.

Actually, I work with Improv Boston as well and can get a whole film crew, plus a location...hmmmBrendan, what say you?

Some people have their own WD, but unless you're in a C-/D area, most will not have  their own fridge.. even if the  potential tenants like the place, they gotta budget another$500-$1K for a fridge, who wants that's expense, let alone transporting it!  

You will have your military connections, your travel experience, money for college, reliable paid off transportation, and the pride and benefits that come with serving your country.

I live and work in Boston so don't own a vehicle. 

We're both from the Boston area in the last few years.Google Maps during rush hour has the answer--plain and clear. 2 hour commute to Seattle.

I know New Hampshire is not far and I believe Boston isn't crazy far either I would love to get into something while in there be it a wholesale or whatever.

Since you live in the south suburbs you probably have a better idea of which areas there are more desirable for renters but of course proximity to public transportation, restaurants, schools, etc can influence your ability to reduce vacancies.

Struggle, lack of jobs, no access to transportation, no amenities - these are all signs of struggle.  

I'm chasing a probate property here in Boston and am in touch with the attorney.
