In today's climate and in your locale, I'd suggest a 3 prong attack... 1) I'd cultivate/work on Bank REO's as well as look for bargains that will sell fast, 2) Pick out an active upscale area of about 300-700 homes and start farming. 3) I'd hold open houses as often as possible in your new farm area.

My first pager almost got me killed when I got my first page (from the paging company to see if it was working) it was set on buzz, it was in my pocket at the time, I thought I was being attacked by bees, almost ran off the road.Oh yes, I remember using pay phones to set appointments and call prospects while on the road.

As much as you may have viewed some of it as an attack on you personally, I implore you to embrace the old adage, "a still tongue keeps a wise head." 

I try to keep things light hearted and enjoy everything I do, but I attack everything with drive and passion.

The September 11th attacks were a good example of this - people stopped traveling by plane for quite a while and vacation rentals took a big hit.  

Its always best to attack water issue from the exterior.
