You should invest where you feel you have a competitive advantage.

Great question @Lorraine Hadden,You should always compare both side by side to see the advantages /disadvantages to each.

It allows you to take advantage of a low down payment loan.

Listings come from nurturing your database for years, so if you are new, you have to pick a niche or an area that you have a competitive advantage in.

With EPIC theme park opening in a few months, this area is seeing bookings pick up, but it is a very competitive and crowded market.

But the diversification may be through a number locations of the same type property, as expertise in one area trumps diversifying into areas where you lack a competitive advantage.  

You want to focus on areas where you have a competitive advantage (you have lived there or you have family and friends there) and then compare those areas against widespread list of great areas to invest.Good luck!

Our tools are a reflection of our ability to rationalize...This, in turn, is where the competitive advantage is.Think about it.

This imbalance intensifies buyer competition, driving up home prices as demand outstrips supply.2.

Hi Max, I can speak about the Columbus Ohio market (as this is the market I specialize in) but yes, there is strong competition here and there are obviously some cash buyers and they will always have a slight advantage.
