However I only know the western Oregon market and this type of RE wholesale would only work in the midwest or south where real estate isn't as crazy high demand/low inventory/above market value as Oregon is, so I can't apply my same parameters/experience/cost of renovations/what local buyers prefer/high demand neighborhoods vs slums etcMost RE programs have lots of reviews but this program seems to have no easy to find honest reviews from folks that are not connected to promoting it

A friend recently asked me to compare two Houston zip codes, 77008 and 77063, from an investment perspective.Now, I'm a big fan of Texas, but the first thing I said to him was that the weather is HORRENDOUS.

On their website there is a spot that you can add your zip code to see the demand. 

As far as podcasts - it sounds like I am promoting my own here but since someone mentioned them here is a podcast called KC Multifamily Minute and is a weekly show that details all of the on market deals in KC. 

The website is horrible, so many spelling and grammatical errors that you can't fix unless you know how to code.

IF anyone has the link for that training and the discount code, let me know please.
