@Bernard B.The idea of local "competition" came up in a recent BP interview video Brandon did with his mentor. 

This video about the Memphis Medical District goes into great depth about the opportunity for quality housing providers in the medical district area (especially for multifamily investors).  

To think that this all started with watching "flip or flop", that lead me to googling wholesaling, that lead me to a ton of youtube video, which lead me to BiggerPockets which eventually lead me to my 1st deal.

Don't know anything about the course or mentor program, but I've been watching a lot of his youtube videos and he has some interesting stuff out there.

Sterling, I have noticed that a lot of people go out a buy a note or two after seeing a guru at their local REIA meeting, or watching an online video.

Here's a quick walkthrough and special video request for @Brandon Turner and the AskBP podcast....   

At BP, not only can you network with other investors, you can watch free online videos, learn from the free courses on this site, and listen to BP's podcast in itunes.

What do you think of the video and how would you handle it in Vancouver, WA?

Everything you want to know is on a youtube.com video.

I just watched a really cool video about this company that literally replaces foundations.
