Ask, answer,connect, engage.

I know most of the players in this space, and we can both tell you there are some shady players, while others simply come-and-go.

Don't think there is no competition in small towns.Larger cities will have more people involved in RE, the competition may be more sophisticated, bigger players, more inventory but more feeding off it too.Smaller towns usually have slower turn over, a property that's difficult to sell is easier to buy.

Met them all through my day job and one is a big time player that actually started me on this journey of knowledge.
