I'd say its a great time to get into investment, especially if you are looking for turnkey properties.There are a lot of people that I've seen, good friends and competitors alike, who got in over their heads while the market was good, and are now struggling when it's south.

#2, renters can zero in on their desired locations much easier.The competitor that essentially forced CL to develop this feature is Padmapper.com.

Your competitors have been on market for an average of 43 days ( with the lowest priced at 105 days) 4) If you really narrow down your appraisal to using nothing but sold comps within a quarter mile and no more than 6 months back, you're right on target with your ARV.

But with so much competition against lenders that are licensed, you risk one of your competitors turning you into the Division.

Those aren't my competitors anyway.

Why would you mentor somebody like this: – in the long term you are training your own competitor in already crowded field?

But, if you competitors have new wiring with all grounded outlets and/or you find code/safety issues, you should definitely fix or upgrade.Does that make sense?

Once I get the feeling this is not a potential candidate for me, I immediately start to steer them to my competitors.

Despite the cheesy "Free Vacation" promotion I was hoping potential sellers would be more likely to respond to my postcard instead of another competitor because of the free vacation.  

And perhaps, there will be another competitor that comes along and if they have a smoother platform, faster/better customer service, better support tools for both guests and hosts, lower fees, and equal or more choices, then they can overtake AirBnB.
