I also think Ann Arbor was a clear beneficiary of the flight from Detroit.

I'm 26yo, currently living in Las Vegas working as a flight instructor and full time pilot.

Even if I left now I wouldn't get there in time. 20 hours of flights from New Zealand :-)

(they also have a 1.5% cash back card w/o annual fees, but if you spend over $10,000/yr you are in the green)/For air travel, I use Penfed's AMEX rewards card which gives you 4% points when you book flights.

Sharks will eat you alive.Its a 4hr flight, go spend a weekend at least and get a feel for the areas you're interested in....and then hop on Craigslist and check out the rents.I have a decent team there and built it up by refferals and doing what I say when I say...

Right now I am currently working as a Firefighter/Paramedic and my wife is a Flight attendant.

On the flight back started looking at some island properties, and on the drive to pick out her car, we came to the big kid decision that a first local rental property made the most sense. 

A quick Google shows round-trips flight from San Diego over a weekend(ish) in mid-April around $300.  

This one popped in my head on a long flight yesterday.My personal residence is a 3 bedroom 1.5 bath brick ranch on 0.44 acres.

I had been looking around and had made one flight out to look at properties with a local agent.
