you will have many competitors in New Jersey because i have noticed on the Newbie mail list from new investors seems that New Jersey has the most Newbie investors than any other state in the United States.  

Lowes is closer to me and will price match and beat competitor price by 10% (same brand and model).

Be sure to check out this BP Post assuring that there are always heirs and that if you don't contact them, your competitor's might. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/136041-deceased-home-owner-property-with-squatter-living-in-itGood luck. 

Think about it this way, if you can buy an easy list and market to people, don't you think your competitors are doing the same?

I don't know if any of their competitors are any better because I have no direct experience, but I can't get these guys paid off fast enough!  

You should also be able to see your bounce rate to see if the visitors to certain ad copy "stick" better than others.Or, my favorite method, search around using your keywords and see what your competitors are doing.

Here's the breakdown:- pay someone to do manual work- send out mailers- do mass stealth voice message drops that bypass the ringer- launch a website and pay through the nose to get nothing- send boat loads of $ to Google for pay per click to find out most clicks are from competitors- mass video marketing to rank for 100's of search phrases + specific locations to get calls or visits- press releases to get to the top of search and gain temporary traction- lease a mass website page creation that ranks 20,000+ search terms that direct to a single website- mass text messaging or facebook messaging- facebook marketing... etc etc etcHere is what I think is best:1. get a cheap website up that looks pro then if you have boat loads of money and you want to get immediate traction pay Google with PPC2.

Less competitors.

I did this for insurance agents in 50+ different location it doesn't work all the time because you have different competitors in different locations with different revenue models/goals.

He has said he will reject a loan offer from the bank because he "will not go into debt for what he has earned over the last 30 years".My other options if he rejects a loan offer from the bank to buy me out are: selling to a competitor or liquidate inventory and sell business?
