/u/TheGrateKhan is right... don't get the idea you can just cross off whatever you've been paying in state taxes and think it'll go straight to the income side... you'll be in for some nasty surprises. Property taxes are no joke either, and you'll be paying them whether you rent or buy... you don't expect our parsimonious landlords to take them out of their profits, do you? And if you are going to rent do all the research you can... we have the great, the good, the Bad and the Absolutely Horrible up here so use yelp, tenants rights organizations, word of mouth and whatever you can network including word of mouth to winnow out the worst of the worst.
I use to live in Greenland for a few years and can tell you there is a TON of money out there in Greenland, Rye, Newington & Etc so if you are a nanny with good references I am sure you can find good work with people who commute down I95 to the Boston area or people who have so much money they don't even need to commute. You'll need to commute though... a lot of people who work in the area have to commute from Farmington and even farther away because housing in the area is unaffordable and unavailable. Good luck.

I’ll definitely be doing some research on taxes and fees. We plan on buying hopefully. That seems to be the biggest concern I have right now. I’ll definitely be looking at towns closer to the coast. It seems like that may be the best bet job wise, even if I have to buy elsewhere in NH and commute in

There’s a Seacoast Sitters Facebook group that connects nannies and families. You could join and see what your prospect for work could look like. There’s a serious childcare shortage here on the Seacoast so many families rely on nannies. But as others have said, it’s getting harder and harder to find housing on a $60k salary.
