With these factors in hand they can be compared to the property's competitors and adjustments made accordingly.Good hunting-

I owned a small business and too often seen my competitors breaking the laws.  

Instead, he's selling the information and creating (he hopes) thousands of competitors. 

@Marcus JohnsonYeah we use to only do tile accent pieces in the shower but then all of our competitors were doing it as well so we moved our design up a noch so we could be better then them. 

Chances are, my competitors crew is there on site and you can see first hand what kind of work is getting completed.Otherwise, Brant's suggestion of the Home Depot desk is a good one, but I usually hang out in the parking lot to see their trucks.  

Most of our competitors include it, so we have to add value in other ways. 

It's easy to work with for people who want to get up and running out of the gate and it's flexible enough for experienced site builders and "SEO'ers" to really be able to get additional power out of it.Definitely worth the money (in my opinion); I have no connection with IC, in fact, we are "friendly competitors" in some area... but, the facts are the facts!!!

Negotiating can be at another plateau.Good point made by Giovanni is in selecting complimentary businesses in a building or strip center, allowing a competitor in some areas of retail can be complimentary, in some case you can contribute to a tenant's demise.

Now, when asked what I was interested in with each parcel, I always said sandwich shop, package store, or carwash; something that threw off the scent of a fresh idea.Coming into early March and I have identified four sites that will work as a relocation or a new competitor, and have three under contract.

For that we can be picky, we have lower vacancies than our competitors (We almost never have an idle unit, if a unit is down it's because we are renovating it), we get referrals, we don't get many complaining phone calls, our tenants stay a long time, they tend to take pretty good care of the place, they are vocal about trouble tenants, and they are great people to do business with.
