Location specific lists should use an associated RTM Location or a location tag or both

As a realtor using RTM, having specific tasks associated with a property works for me. Sometimes I am driving down the highway or going through a town and the tasks for a listing will give me a "Moo". Now these are physical locations and not GTD locations.
When I am in the program, I think I have seen some restrictions in terms of list creation, sharing, and sorting that comes with having tasks associated only by a Location (physical). I keep going between adding an additional non location tag to the entire list of tasks associated with a physical location. Then of course I have two entries in the tag cloud.
Does a user lose any functions one way or another?

maseratij,
There's definitely a difference between Locations and tags; most notably, you can only assign one Location but you can assign multiple tags.
There's no cut and dry solution to balancing those, but for my own uses I tag something with "errand" and then set the location to where I physically need to be if there's one place for it.
There are some other solutions floating around the forums, or you could use it however works best for you. Let me know if you'd like some further ideas or have any other questions.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the follow up. I was looking, I guess for more of the restrictions so I could develop what works for me. I seem to be able to create smart lists based on the GeoLocations. Each location is a project for me so it makes things easy as there are not more than 5 at at a time though I wish there were more.
Again thanks I will post if I bump into any walls.

maseratij,
As a realtor, I imagine that locations would work pretty well as projects for you. :)
And yes, please post back if you run into anything else!
