Here is my advice and take it for what you paid for it. IMO, Casting such a wide net tends to be more of an impediment than a benefit. My best results typically come when someone has a laserlike focus. When we know what and more importantly where we are trying to be the results always seem to be better.
I’d spend my time getting more familiar with the areas you are interested. Take a good hard look and decide where you really want to live be it NC Inland (PQ/RB), central (MM/SR/Tierrasanta) or NCC (Carlsbad/Encinitas). Then get yourself the best help you can find to help you identify and capitalize on the perfect opportunity when it pops up.[/quote]
I think that’s an excellent advice, sdr. I will get myself more familiar with the areas to see which one(s) fit better with our lifestyle. It is CRAZY when you want to follow many zipcodes. I agree that once you zoom in and become intimately familiar with an area/zip/neighborhood you are much more likely to get there a great deal.
