@Dominic Lucarelli - I live in the South Hills area, so I typically look in the areas south of downtown.

Overrall, in a chosen market, the aim is to dominate in a specific nicheA deal per week by year end

Your oil exec comment about job consolidation also makes sense and I guess that must be one of the underlying factors that some of the big players I mentioned understand and are probably anticipating. 

Jax, like Tampa, has some big dollar players lining up plans to improve the area.  

We are a community player and the utility service gets paid.For utilities that can become a lien on the property if not paid, the utility company sends us copies of the tenant bill, notification if a tenant account is past due and warns us if the account is in danger of utility shut off.

I also saw how that belmont ave is a war zone belt, or the fourplexes next to the art museum, that even though look good and new has an area dominated by gangs. 

I'm looking forward to meeting some BP key players to learn and work with : ) 

The tech industry is booming like crazy with Amazon, Microsoft and other players.  

My boyfreind and I are going on Saturday, we are supposed to get a free mp3 player, a cd with "50 ways to find your next flip" (I know I've seen at least that many times on BP!! 

I gets calls from CPAs and attorneys and agents and I'm a really small time player.
