My wife and I are currently living in Boston, Ma and looking to relocate somewhere in commutable distance to Portland, ME. Also my wife's family lives in Cape Elizabeth, ME. We currently do not own any real estate and just starting out.
I am planning on finding a 2-4 unit multi-family home to house hack. Or I am open to the idea of finding a very good investment single family home that we can plan for forced appreciation.
Hi Ryan, I work in Portland but live in the Gray/New Gloucester area. Its between a 35-40 minute commute. Portland is VERY expensive. My recommendations: Gray/New Gloucester; Westbrook -- tons of duplexes on the market now; Windham--another gem but also a hot market.
@Ryan Fong The greater Portland area offers lots of opportunities. Portland itself is very expensive, but you can move into some suburb areas and have quite a few options. Westbrook is growing, the Saco/Biddeford area is growing, and South Portland would put you between Portland and Cape Elizabeth. If you would like to discuss further, then please don't hesitate to contact me. I would love to help you settle into the area, this is a great area to be in.
