Most people don't understand how massive & diverse the economy is here. 

@Albert Jones Indy is a very diverse city in terms of real estate, you have areas that have skyrocketed in the last few years and areas that have only been dragged up a few % because the city as a whole is coming up and investors are buying based on spread sheet numbers not actual facts.

People doing 10+ deals a year4-6 peoplePeople that want to be open and share best practices – a diverse group of investorsPeople willing to provide constructive feedbackAn initial call for everyone to explain their business model – what you are doing, what you are looking for, etc.Once a month organized calls (Skype or Google) with an agendaA shared group (probably on Facebook, Google drive) where we can share ideas outside of our meeting timesCommunication and accountability outside of the once/month meetingThis is an evolving thing and I am open to best practices and ideas others might have.

Lack of diversity.

I've been working with 2 commercial brokers that that both have diverse skills.

All you need to do is diversity according to your intuition and risk tolerance.

Diversity of employment in florence seems pretty good for smallish city/town. 

@Joel Senko If you think the stock market is diverse with investment options, just wait until you explore real estate.

You have been inducted into a large and diverse club of real estate investors, and I welcome you as a lifetime charter member.
