What are comparisons against comparable competition?

We built into our automated messages to ask for feedback and do so prior to a review.

For example, You might study an area and find that you can buy $125K home and average rents in the area for comparable homes are $1100-$1200.  

I am more concerned about social media posts, as there is no real way to add the required information without turning every post into an advertisement, as compared to sharing real estate information or deals we are working on.

The question that I'm mulling over is, "Do I step in to fill that need, since I have the property management experience and contacts prior, or do I simply pursue investing and manage my own properties?"

Create a simple spreadsheet or written list to compare the features of each and identify the ones that align with your requirements.

Also, be sure to consult a CPA about the timing of transitioning properties to an LLC to avoid potential complications with financing or taxes.Take time to compare multiple lenders and products that fit your strategy.

I would caution on comparing these returns to the S&P 500.Real estate has been pretty much flat the last 2-3 years while the S&P has been on a great run.It's human nature to sell the lows and buy the tops.

You never want to compare yourself to how other people might be scaling. 

Don't just look at their prices, also look at their services and compare them to the competition.
