I own a home in City A but want to move to City B. I could potentially scrape up enough for a down payment in City B to buy another spot but I’m unable to rent out in City A bc of HOA (on a very long list right now). Is it stupid to rent in City B while paying the mortgage in City A? Can I still manage the homestead exemption on City A? Thoughts??

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?

New strat folks.

2. Put the land under said condos into a land conservatorship (for taxes)
3. Rent condos at discounted rates (for taxes)
4. A small fee of the rent goes to a trust as a land conservation fee in perpetuity (for tax reasons)
5. Have another business generating revenue to offset this.
