Introduction and please offer feedback

Hi all.  My name is Rich I live in Boston currently.

I've been working in rentals and investments for a few years and its pretty great.  I am looking to move to a new city with better opportunities.  I managed to snag a studio here in Kenmore Square at just the right moment.

I need some guidance on where to relocate to.  Ideally west coast (San Fran, Portland or Seattle) or Phoenix (maybe).  I am unclear how to situate myself.  I want to buy more property and all the locations I mentioned have good attributes in different ways.  Being able to work in sales, and work with renters and investors too is part of the consideration.  Here in Boston renters always pay the brokerage fee.  Cities like San Fran where this apparently also happens is a sign of market strength to me.  I want to continue to build my own portfolio, offer services like management and   brokerage and ideally start an investment fund.

If anyone is able to offer some perspective I would appreciate it.
