Let me first acknowledge that your idea of getting a presence in a robust and growing vacation area sounds like a winner.

We manage 1500 properties in Memphis - with a staff of 40 and 22,000 sq ft building on Summer Ave, we have a large presence in the Mid- SouthFor closing attorney, I can hook you up with mine.Jw 

I feel that there isn't a strong presence of real estate investors in my area and there is a huge potential for some great deals - with the right people.

I quickly learned that when making offers on properties in Prince George's County, you have to move fast due to the heavy investor presence.

While the whole starting a family thing took my attention away from my online presence over these past couple of years, I can't ever forget the role that BP and other sites played in my foundation.

But, from my personal experience, my properties are in cities with a military presence. best of luck. 

In spite of looking economic uncertainty, we remain assured in the fact that the military presence here will persist into the future even as the US potentially suffers a sustained period of contraction.

But, if for some reason they were picking another agent in a given area - you would need to be a visible presence in the target area.From what they told me some banks have specific criteria such as the max distance the agent can have their office away from the property.

I am glad to have another Dallasite on this board.We have a large and growing presence here andI think you will find plenty of networking opportunities.

Some of these are meetup groups, some have a presence on Facebook, All should be easy to find.
