They are the most likely competitors for work crews passing through.

These properties often come with fewer competitors, less pressure, and the potential for creative financing options.

Quote from @Issa Joseph: The cost for the education and the year on mentorship is $8000 if you make 2 payments or $9000 if you pay in 3 payments. they have a guarantee that your units will outperform all other competitors in a set square mile radius of your property.

Many of our competitors would have walked away, leaving us with the upper hand.If you have the right mindset and the right resources, properties that others shy away from can become some of your best deals.Have you ever dealt with a property that took months to resolve?

I spent around 12K with his competitor over the course of 10 months and got nothing but frustration to show for it...

I would venture a guess that many investors believe that agents who cover the same territory are competitors, however as I'm sure you are aware that there is more success in collaboration as agents than competition.

We have a local competitor that brags they don't charge a maintenance markup, yet we know:1) They charge owners $60/hour for their handyman2) How much do you think they're paying their handyman? 

The reason I was able and willing to offer more than my competitors was I had the local builder in my back pocket that had already done the feasibility survey.

So if you are going to be a host that outperforms your competitors and want to get fabulous reviews, there isn’t complete down time if you are self managing at the highest level.

My rates are higher than what both VRBO and AirBNB and Airdna has ever suggested but I keep my eye on competitors and am happy pricing higher and turning away some of the guests that might book for lower.
