However, I just answered my own question right after I posted, so I really want to delete my post so when I look back in 5 years I won't hit myself in the head for not figuring it out before posting. :)

I'm just trying to figure out why 

I think I am trying to figure out how to find a good wholesaler and see if it makes sense that they add my target area to their operations.

Regardless, you might find the copy & paste info below helpful:)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Anyone can go and figure out good areas, some can figure out good deals, but don't trust others to pick a management company for you.

With a few tweaks to the management structure, and with new leadership, I figure we can greatly increase the revenue.

I am trying to figure out how many markets I should focus on at once.

Don't operate under the, "we get along and can figure it out" mindset. 

He likes to present figures and will burry you with data and at the end his performance is way off.
