The best course of action will be to narrow in on the type of land you want to deal in and then optimize your disposition strategy for that niche.It's a classic "Jack of all Trades, Master of None" issue.If you have a specific example in mind you want to share I'm sure we could provide some suggestions.

My current goal is to narrow down areas to look at so that I can start paying closer attention to those markets.

This would also help me narrow it down.  

I guess the takeaway from this is that these aren't home loans, there isn't a single narrow bell curve representing a very narrow range of rates that everyone with good credit gets (the FTHB spazzing over the rate being 0.25% this way or that have no idea how good they have it, lol). 

Would love to hop on a call once I start narrowing my search down and to hear about your experience so far in Columbus.

I would be happy to visit with you more and help you narrow down some of these items.  

Figure out what market you want to buy in and narrow down an area to start.

Start narrowing down the list by thinking of where you would like to visit.

Find a narrow area, then focus on improving your expertise/knowledge and you will have an informational edge that will pay huge dividends long term because unlike most people you will know what the true value of an asset is and can calmly pull the trigger when others are scared and can calmly not pull the trigger when others blinded by greed.

My advice is to narrow your search to one neighborhoood that aligns best with your investment thesis then focus on building relationships with those who are actively involved in that particular neighborhood.
