Wholesaling long distance, is it possible?

[JJ Gernaat]

Quick facts about me: I am living in Phoenix till the end of 2011 and then moving back home to Michigan. I am new to wholesaling but its what I want to do and I know REI is my future. I am unemployed (by choice) so I have almost unlimited free time.

My dilemma is this, should I put in all the time and effort of wholesaling here in Phoenix, knowing I am leaving in 10 months, or should I just focus on my area in Michigan even though it would be long distance for a while?

I believe there is no right/wrong answer to this so I would love to hear your ideas or opinions. Thanks!
