From what I understand their business model is getting paid by the banks and the banks so far are offering it free of charge to attract clients and stay competitive.

I have no competition for that title.

Power tools and heavy equipment?

A little competition is a good thing to ensure you are see all the best deals & getting to work with multiple agents. 

It is a buyers market and whatever you say goes, wait till rates go back down you will see a lot more competition 

Additionally, study and learn as much as you can about everything related to construction/building and the ins and outs of RE....As a 16 yr old, you have the time and energy to get a lot of knowledge under your belt, which will be a huge advantage for you over your competition....

Retail centers not as heavy management as multifamily but still way more than single tenant properties.

Real Estate Investing is a team sport, not a competition. 

SharonThe list is not for motivated sellers but for those with capital to invest, thus a way to find private investors.I just recently received an email blast for such a service (yet again) and one of my biggest concerns with it are the fact that this very same list is likely sold hundreds, if not thousands of times over again to others, thus creating quite the competition of direct marketing to the same people by a number of marketers for money.Secondly, without a prior relationship, you better be damn careful what you say in your letter to these people as to not violate SEC rules.

and b) what the other cash investor was offering aka how to have a truly competitive advantage...
