Networking with local players will get you to that end goal much faster. 

@William Hochstedler I've been living in several resort towns lately so clearly that's going to be expensive, but when I was renting in the suburbs of Chicago, (which I have lived most of my life) the cost of living in SLC is much lower.

Then, a seller who has the powers to negotiate and sell to you must be determined before end up having to re-negotiate your deal with yet another player.

There a smart investment as you can tell by the players in the game.

In smaller universities, you won't see the big players, so there aren't as many amenities, so location is real important.  

Most of the long term hold players had already dropped out. 

These are the big players who do many flips a year.  

Mark I've had tough luck at the REIA's finding the real players from the talkers.  

The work sounds fairly chopped up, but a good GC with the time could get the right players in and make a good job out of it.
