Take a look at Craiglist.com for that area....this gives you a very quick look at rentals, and people buying and selling. You can do this right now....and then contact a Realtor.

Hi Robin,

Have you started to look at listings in these areas? The link below shows homes currently for sale on Trulia in Ogdensburg. You can refine these results using the filters on the left side of the page to see if there are any homes that match your specific criteria or you can perform a new search in one of the other areas you are interested in.

I hope this helps you.

Best Wishes,

Robin:

Ask your family for a referral to a professional Realtor in the area that you want to move to. Have them assist you with your needs. Without doubt, it is the best thing to do. Period.

Robin - have you tried googling for those areas? You can get in touch with any one of the agencies that come up in those searches to find out what their office offers: Some participate in property management and may very well have rentals and potential land contract opportunities. Good Luck.
