How to Attack My Marketing Strategy?

[Craig Savage]

I have been lurking around the BiggerPockets community for about six months now and am finally getting close to starting a marketing campaign.  I just have one problem.

My family and I have decided that when my next job opportunity comes available most likely in this next year, we are going to take our talents back home to Idaho (Thanks Lebron).  My problem is that I don't want to put Real Estate Investing on hold for another year but I also don't want to tie myself up in Houston.

Looking for some advice:

Do I start marketing in Idaho to get a lead pipeline started and have a business partner close any deals prior to me getting there?

Or

Market in Houston and wholesale properties here until the opportunity comes available in Idaho?

Or

A mixture of both?

I just don't want to put off the future any longer!

@Craig Savage - Welcome to the vibrant BP community.

You posed two good questions and there is no wrong answer in my opinion. 

If you can sustain activities in both markets simultaneously, then, go for it. You will be able to slow down and cease operations in Houston when the time comes and hit the ground running in Idaho when you are ready to make the permanent move there.
