I was traveling with a potential partner.

Very lucrative business in luxury vacation rentals. 43 million is the number of rental units in the United States alone $85 billion is the value of the vacation rental industry.92% of travelers want the option to book rentals online. 53% of travelers with income > than $125,000 prefer vacation homes to traditional hotels.

I believe RE and Stocks function like brother and sister, they fight sometimes, but they are extremely powerful together, granted you know allot about both of them.

They wanted me to take positions that would include a lot more travel and prestige in the company but the $ per hour when all said and done is lower. 

I am traveling right now but will PM you next week if that is ok.

I live in Oxnard, but my wife's sister lives in Santa Clarita.

That's a long way to travel for due diligence!

We know nothing about you, not your interests, your travels, where you have connections besides San Diego, etc. 

Find people who travel neighborhoods as part of the daily job.

I do know that he doesn't do anything other than travel for pleasure right now.
