@Sean KellerI invest in Columbus RE, huge growth to come from recent additions to the tech sector (google, intel, amazon, honda, and many start ups).

I was thinking about the locksmith sector.

In California they state you will be taxed no matter where your investments are Worldwide!!! 

At KW the system is already there, you can recruit locally, nationwide, worldwide, build expansion teams nationwide and earn profits on that, without having all the risks and headaches.   

Let's get real - get some education for free from many different sectors of this site.

Certain sectors such as high education have higher than average increases of costs because such services cannot be imported.

Definitely reach out to @Kris Benson as he is very knowledgeable in this sector. 

I wanted to steer clear of STR because all the AirBnB laws keep changing, and with economic slow down and layoffs in tech sectors which is an area of extreme disposable income to travel etc, it just feels like the wrong time for me personally to invest in an area where discretionary travel is likely to be the first to go from people's budgets as they tighten their household budgets.

If someone comes to me, I'll send them your way.If you need help in your search or want to verify something don't hesitate to ask.For example: I have clients worldwide and things are just as easy as I e-mail them, talking on the phone.

Worldwide, they report 35-41%.
