Filtering by State and Industry would be a good start.

It's an industry courtesy to provide LOI/POF letters with offers, not a requirement.  

It is we who will ultimately suffer because all we will get is mediocrity should government regulation be forced upon us.When industries are deregulated, prices go down and the consumer benefits. 

Jared, I think you are spot on about Asheville's job market.  

I'm involved in the area's tour industry, so I know a little...

My name is Chris, I'm currently a 23-year-old college student in Los Angeles, California, studying Visual Effects for the entertainment industry (i.e., special effects for movies -- y'know, blowing stuff up).

Don't forget the new "Deal or No-Deal" presentation opportunity after the main meeting, where you can 1.) present your deal in front of the group (years of experience) to help determine if you have a deal and 2.) help you structure the deal and 3.) to try and get the deal SOLD on the spot.

You will learn a lot about the industry and have consistent pay. 

You acquire, fix the issue thereby adding value, properly market, and sell for top dollar (relatively).But, if your answer is an external factor beyond possible repair (general area, the manufactured/trailer homes a block away, the major highway with retail/industrial vibe a block in the other direction, etc.), then you're probably better off moving on to the next one.  

Is it diverse or dependent on an industry?
