Location /neighborhood are the most important aspects of an investment of course but my point is choose the market where you feel you have the strongest team around you and best boots on the ground.

Diversity of portfolio is good for maintaining capital but if you're having success in one area I would continue with it until you have enough capital that needs to be diversified and then seek out professionals in those spaces who can benefit from helping secure your capital in other asset classes, personal opinion!
