@Bethany Turon: Like Madison, ME area. 

We are going to talk numbers with a bank soon to see what things look like. How does the area just outside and west of the Bangor, Augusta, Lewiston, Portland area typically look?

@Ed Emmons We are looking for something between March and June of next year. 

Thanks, Bethany and Jen! We were looking around the areas of Bangor, Portland, and Augusta, as well as nearer the coast. We would like something not too far from a decent-sized city so we have good internet (my husband works in web development) but still something with a little bit of acreage/not too much in-town. We like gardening and the rural lifestyle, and it seemed like areas just outside of those larger cities had that capability. Jen, if we find out this is in our possibilities, we would like to connect! Bethany, I am going to talk to my husband about that meetup.com option. Thanks!

These are good things to know! We are currently living in MN, so are there virtual meetings that we could attend? We can't just fly out, but we want to network as much as possible to learn more. We have been looking at how to go about doing rentals, and this would be our first attempt. 

We are just playing with the idea of moving to Maine and want to find a place where we could live, as well as potentially rent if we want to move after a year or two. How would we go about networking with people to get the best deal on the property and have a good exit strategy if we need it?
