Also, Bend is having growth pains, with skyrocketing housing prices, that may prevent much entry-level investing soon.  

As one can understand it’s a daunting task to select an area out of 52 states.

Its about quality of life, and people are willing to pay a premium to live close to the job center.Rent growth is spectacular in the big cities.  

So it should be the same in other growth markets as well.  

You also have to actually enjoy that person's company, and have casual common interests; otherwise you're just business associates LOL So my intent was not to convey that I only talk to people I can use, but rather I DON'T talk to people if we can't share a mutual level of growth.

@Craig Wilcox I have heard that some companies pay monthly, but I don't know how is it possible, probably they charge the owner extra, so that they can pay the agent.I wish you success and growth in your business, thank you.

This is my generation, and i want to be apart of that, its a goal i have so im sticking close to someone that can put me in a postion to be apart of the growth.

Check out areas that surround the high priced markets - are any of them poised to see growth / increased industry within 5 - 10 years?  

However I don't want to be spending my time doing non income producing task just for the sake of staying busy.Having less than 2 years of rental income I am unable to use my current rental income as "income".

Thanks all for the recommendations...i was debating getting my PE or getting my RE for my portfolio growth...SO I should put my P.E licensing aside for a while...:-) Again, thanks for the affirmation
