Even in a mediocre market, if you have a great agent and a great PM, you will outperform a great market with a mediocre PM and agent.That's also why I think it makes no sense to invest in 17 different markets: you don't know much about any of them, you have to build a network of people in every market, the law is different in every State and it's physically/economically impossible to visit any. (1-4 units anyway, large commercial is different). 

Which market you pick does not matter that much as who you work with (you are already on top of that) and how much YOU know about the market, which links back to physical access, in your case a direct flight and the ability to spend some time to learn about trends and neighborhoods, physically see some properties.The single best metric to qualify agents is production: 6 deals per year are average and indicates very little knowledge, over 15 is better.
