And then there was the business from posting on bigger pockets (this was back when I would post "projected rents from the subject property can be counted as income at 75% of value" and people would be amazed, lol, I also did a bunch of cash out refis for REI with >4 financed properties, right after the guideline change allowing it flew under the radars of 99% of the competition, giving me and a small minority of others a pseudo-monopoly -- know your guidelines!)

What states or towns do you have a competitive advantage in already? 

I'd be curious to know what line items are the heavy hitters.
