It seems to me that they all whether paid of free, will all have the same exact amount of houses because all the transactions are all public and so they seem to compete with each other based on the quality of the data of the houses, how up to date it is, and the user experience in configuring the how the layout is.

So, I'll just layout my thesis & some numbers and let you pro's shoot holes in it.

Similarly, homes that have unusual layouts or less traditional features often benefit from full staging, as it helps buyers envision how the space can work for them.That said, even in more budget-conscious markets, full-service staging can still provide a significant return on investment, especially if the home has been on the market for a while or if it's empty and lacks warmth.

McKinney is thriving, but so are other parts of North Texas, and a broader perspective could reveal other great opportunities.Here’s what I’ve observed managing a significant number of rentals in the area:Bedrooms and Layouts:3-bed, 2-bath homes consistently attract the largest pool of tenants and have the highest occupancy rates.4-bedroom homes have grown in demand, especially with the rise of remote work, as tenants look for extra space to use as a home office.Square footage is less critical than number of beds and baths.Supply and Demand:McKinney’s growth is driving demand, but the quality of the location matters greatly.

I try sending a video or doing a live video walk-through with them so they can get a better idea of the layout, condition, neighborhood, etc.2.

You can get a decent quality tub without breaking the bank and if you  layout the bathroom where the tub faucet is in the wall you can save some money because floor mounted tub fillers and their rough in are are expensive.

So, instead of a 2/1 over 2/1 or a side-by-side that is exactly the same layout, look for oddballs.

I’ve had several deals like this on the buy side and sell side where the “gremlins” came out and started whispering against my intuitions.  

However, if you don't know the layout here, it's best to get with those that do as properties change street by street and sometimes even on the same street.

The result was that a few maps had the lots reversed - in actuality A1 was the tennis court lot and A2 was the house, although intuitively one would expect the opposite.
