There are two to three markets I am interested in that I have some small relationships within that I could utilize, my hometown, my wife's hometown or a place I visit often for work.My questions concern the opportunity cost of learning the ins and outs of 3 different markets when the requirements of truly knowing the market increase the chances of success.Do I select one based on distance, the potential to cash flow or appreciate, or one that I may have more connections in?

I have over 11 years of marketing experience developing marketing campaigns with big brands like Verizon Wireless and Qualcomm, 6 years of event production experience and over 11 years as an entrepreneur and small business coach.
