I've heard people speculate that it seems time for the Western side of downtown to receive attention (even Haughville, perhaps), but I think it's still mostly speculation.

I live out on the coast in Humboldt County.

@Roy N. specifically looking for toronto or south western Ontario - but I’m fairly sure anyone practicing under Ontario law can support me.

The property is in the western MD area.

I'm taking this route to familiarize myself with markets, KPI's and nuances as a whole so I have a better background when I start to go into my own deals.For my first deal I'm looking to get into an owner occupied multi-family somewhere here in the Western Mass area.

@Thomas Pae in addition to the hospitals (all of which are world class) major employers in the Cleveland area include GM & Ford (both of whom have recently announced major investments in their CLE area plants), US Gov (NASA Glenn Research Center is here), KeyCorp, Progressive Insurance, Sherwin Williams, Swagelok, State of Ohio and higher education (CSU, Case Western Reserve, Baldwin Wallace).  

I'm a long distance landlord and live on the opposite coast.

Land-lording makes even better sense.It's how I counseled my two kids...upon graduation from college, go to a coast and start your life because there are more and better opportunities for just about everything except agriculture. 

Most people living in the front range are here because of jobs and business opportunities, or to be close to a large urban center, international airport etc. while those that move to Colorado for reasons more lifestyle-based and aren’t stuck in the front range due to their career or family or whatever usually prefer to live in the less crowded parts (crested butte, steamboat, Durango, western slope are all highly desirable among many others).
