@Sean Trily Recently, there was a podcast episode about a former professional soccer player, who lives in Portland , Oregon but was able to find deals a few miles down on I-5 in Salem, Oregon.

@Matthew WardYou are correct - Florida does not have an income tax on individuals.If you operate out of state - a portion of your income may be sourced to a different state.You may be required to file a non-resident state return in that state.The Federal tax return reports income that you earned from worldwide sources.

They are the big players and until you have more of a presence or multiple properties, a website isn't needed.

Highly leveraged players will get knocked out first, large players with deep pockets will weather the storm and will start to acquire the excess supply.I had a very interesting conversation with a guy who's job it is to crunche numbers for REITs and pension funds - they will go all across the country for a solid 3% ROI.

The wholesaler is a key player on your team it sounds like. 

I join an apartment mentoring group and got around the players.

The 2 big players which I consider my main competition currently have their hands full.

I'm sure you'll meet a few key players and make referrals there.

Between the two major players of trade shows this is my preference. 

If you hang out in the forums long enough you'll start to know who the bigger players in the space are.
