With new construction, comes more competition.

In Syracuse, the $800k+ price range is experiencing slightly less competition- I had a large complex just close at a 7-cap.

This might be mandatory in order to stay competitive and keep vacancy rates low throughout the season.

There is a lot of pent up demand due to high rates and there is still a major lack of new supply.

One challenge we faced was managing the renovation timeline within a competitive market.

The lack of depth for frost protection is a critical area of concern. 

Account Closed  reality is 95% or more who think they can just pay to learn wholesaling will simply never do anything its VERY tough VERY competitive and a dead end for most..Frankly speaking the only ONE making money is the teacher.which I Segway in and I am thinking I should do this..

Is it worth the lack of protection?

I’ll definitely be more assertive with this strategy, as it's important for us to stand out positively among the competition by offering a high-quality service that really makes a difference. 

I would probably start monthly or bi-weekly "safety inspections" to A) document any lack of evidence of risks/issues to the tenant's safety to be prepared to legally defend yourself in the future, and B) to monitor for new/worsening damage to the unit.
