well i had found a 5 bed/2.5 bath house with 2 car attached and 1 car detached/workshop for like 360k. all remodeled, but the more i thought about it, i dont need 5 bdrms and the taxes would be more than id like.

Ideally, I'm looking for a 3 bed/2 bath, up to around 350k, garages for 3+ cars, size of property not important. OR a decent 2 family house with 2+ garages in the same price range. Location can be almost anywhere(southern NY, eastern PA, NJ). As of tonight i'm also looking into commercial properties/shops since i'm toying with the notion of actually opening a true business doing parts and performance/installations.

NC is very promising and there were several houses i was ready to make an offer on but the whole job thing is holding me up. lol. Im still set on moving down as soon as i have employment, BUT finacial incentives from my family, could keep me here up north. Either way, im still moving somewhere by mid march.
