Considering a duplex out of state as a seasonal home

Hey everyone, I’m new here and I’m also new to investing in real estate although I’ve been considering it for some time. I live in Maine, and I’m considering looking for a duplex outside of Charleston, SC to serve as an investment property, but also as a place for me to live during the colder months. My business in Maine is definitely seasonally impacted and I’d like to be able to continue working someplace warm! Do any of you have any thoughts or opinions on doing something like this? Thank you!

@Carl HebertHi Dave and Carl. Allow me to jump into the Maine fray. I was born in Westbrook, grew up in Cumberland. Small world here on BP! I left Maine in '98 but my Mom and a bunch of family and friends are still there so I get up there when I can. In fact, I'm looking at buying a lake lot north of Waterville. I've worked with many investors of SFR and duplexes here in SWFL so if I can help you out, let me know.

Be safe!@Carl Hebert@Carl Hebert
