Should I stick to areas I know?

[Dominique Coleman]

Hey guys, I am beginning to think about how I can really stack up against the competition and I want to get some opinions about what I've been thinking. I am an "African-American" male I grew up in a middle to upper class area. I want to ask, should I try to stay away from areas that are culturally and racially different than mines. I know wholesaling is mostly about coming up with deals and being able to build rapport with sellers. So do you think I should stay away from areas that are outside of my race or culture?
