Learning notes is more like learning a foreign language where the best way to do it is go and live in the country and immerse yourself in the culture.

@Marcin Talaga, that’s an excellent point about company culture!

Marquette should be good as well, a little more diverse as far as attractions go.

My portfolio is diverse.

Most agents choose a brokerage based on the following criteria: culture, economic structure, technology, training, and support.

However, despite all fears south florida (miami) remains active place for "bargains" ( price per SQF) with attractive mortgage rates,  spectacular location, cultural growth, strong rental market and a good way to diversify portfolio. 

Still, with a diverse employment base and three colleges inside the city limits, there's a lot to like about the tenant pool depending on your price range and overall strategy.

Good credit and relationships with investor friendly lenders will serve you well also.If I let you behind our office doors to see our model you would see a very diverse business strategy, we don't rely on just one area of the market, hopefully protecting us if there is a major correction in a specific area. 

At the heart of this issue is the fact that Americans have a culture of buying too many things and we can’t seem to get rid of most of it.
