Mike its also why many of the bigger TK players have opened up multiple markets.. so they can keep up with demand. 

I used to have out of state investments myself and relying on just realtors and property managers in a market and not being a big player there is not necessarily a great position to be in.

Which one usually has more action, more players, more that I could watch, listen and learn from?

Ask if they've approached any of the regular commercial players like CBRE, ARA Apartments, Starwood Trust?

Meet the players, introduce yourself, get to know them, ask for cards, take them out to lunch.  

@Joel CummingsAn agent needs to bring real buyers, not game players and scammers.

He has recently passed, but he introduced me to many of the major players in town before I left Lex.

I would like to get to know players in this arena and start to build my team to expand into this area.I live out in Gold Canyon at the base of Superstitions with my wife and 2 kids.  

Keep learning as much as you can about your local market - see who the players are and try to connect with them.  

Want to start building my business/career , just need a little guidance for this hard worker, good listener, team player !
