I went through a similar path of discovery. A real bummer. Colorado got my money instead.
It's the same in CO, you have to be a resident to get resident benefits.
I almost bought a hunting/fishing lodge up in BC back in 1994. Gorgeous place on a gorgeous river. But after trying to figure out how to make all that work without living there full time, I gave up on that endeavor. Perhaps I should have just moved there.
