Calling The Competition

[Arnie Guida]

How would you feel if another property owner called you to ask what your rents were?

The are two other four families on my block with "for rent" signs on their front yards, and I'm dying to call and ask what they're charging. I've had friends offer to call on my behalf, pretending to be prospective tenants, but I hate being dishonest about it.

If I called you, would you say "It's none of your business" and hang up, or would you tell me?

I'm not sure what I'd do if the roles were reversed.
