Considering moving to a new market (San Diego), who has done this?
I am roughly 5 years in the CRE buisness and have done fairly well as an industrial broker. So I live a little outside of Los Angeles and have done some good buisness there. I have a lot of connections and job opportunites in LA and there is more industrial buildings there than any other market in the US. I know if I stuck it out here, I could start my own team and be very sucessful financially. 

I really want to move down to SD with some of my best friends. However, I know that I cannot necessarly take my buisness with me if I were to move down there. I also have little CRE contacts there, but think I could probably get on a good team with a good firm. I think I would enjoy SD a lot more and the lifestyle. LA is fun, and has a lot of opportunity, but I couldnt see myself starting a family there ( I am mid to late 20's).

Is it really that hard to start new buisness in a new market?   
Should I try to go capital markets to have a more regional buisness? 

Should I just go NNN so this doesnt happen again?   
Should I just try to get into virtual wholesaling for residental property?

If you are making less then 150k then I would look into doing something else. \n\nThere is a lot of overlap between San Diego and Los Angeles, in that the major developers are similar, so not a complete rewrite.
