I left Saturday for a Mastermind/fishing trip and finished the trip off l with a day with Chris on Wednesday.

I have been playing golf, poker and fly fishing in Montana for the past 20 yrs.

I am intrigued by the auctions, but figure that is likely full of the big fish with tons of cash. 

Mountain states are in demand for recreational activities (skiing, hiking, hunting, fishing, biking) that are hard to find and can be overloaded with people in big cities.

-The market is so good in most places, that listings last only a few days, if not only a few hours, there's no need to look thru the rolodex to find a guy who's gonna waste my time fishing for "deals"..

Their industries include tourism (which we know), agriculture, and fishing.

Those that responded to the personal letter and zip letters were just 'fishing' around for an offer.

I have been very surprised by how much our SC lake house is rented in the "off season"People come to:Relax by the fireplace with a view of the lake, girl or guy weekends, visiting family in the area, visiting their kids at Clemson, Holiday getaway with family, fish, get away from the brutal cold up north or the heat in Florida or just get away.

I am also a newbie located in Saratoga Springs, NY and struggling to convince my partner to take action in the area because the real estate scene is dominated by a few big fish who scoop up most deals before they’re listed anywhere.
