I have the funding and other resources in the city to get the jobs done, I just do not know how to go into this blindly.

We are definitely looking at expanding into new markets in order to further diversify our portfolio, but lack the kind of time we generally take to do our due diligence and find the best partners.I am hoping some of you have advice as to where to look rather than having to go in this somewhat blindly.

Did you get robbed blind?
