I met people who were doing what I wanted to do, but were not direct competitors.

A classy mobile home park near Diamond Drive would be a great development because it's only competitor would be Canyon Lakes park next to the gym.

Opendoor and such are more competitors to wholesalers than to agents.

I don't need to create any more competitors.. not that the majority would ever act on it even if I outlined my business plan step by step. 

We're not competitors in my world.What I'm going for is something bigger than any of us and all of us.

I've been able to extract a slight premium over the competitors in my area because the properties all brand new gut renovations with nice finishes.Go to Zillow or Craigslist and see what the other units are rented for on your block.

You can charge a LITTLE more than others if you're offering more services, but on a gut level, if you're 40% and your competitors are, say, 25%, nobody's gonna call you.  

Real estate professionals also need to be wary of providing too much support to third parties, which may become competitors, or end up holding that content captive.3.

This is where you have an edge and can keep tens of thousands more than your competitors.

The worst thing you can have in business is a desperate or stupid competitor.
