Competitive rates.

I had a distinct advantage over my competition who had to do their own courthouse searchs.

This will lead to many of the professionals in the same industries who already are not doing that well to fall out of competition and hence be "replaced'.

Although I find competition for what I call investment grade parks is quite keen.. so returns are more in the MF space.. when you venture out east from the west coast or look at low end parks returns are higher but management is quite intense.. as our dealing with some pretty scruffy tenant base.

If rates come down at all I predict we’ll be back in a strong sellers market (competitive offers, steep appreciation etc) because inventory is still low. 

Hi Lorenzo, Within my 20 years of experience, I’ve seen this play out many times, especially in competitive markets like East Boston.

These companies invest for long term growth.Here's why exploring these options could be a win:Less competition: Fewer investors might mean you snag a better deal.High growth potential: Up-and-coming areas can offer excellent appreciation alongside decent cash flow.Unique opportunities: Discover niche markets with specific tenant needs, like student rentals or corporate relocation hotspots. 

While it's definitely doable here, our market has gotten pretty competitive over the last few years.

for infill I concentrated on Charleston Sc and built about 35 homes in that market. uber competitive for dirt though they are running out of it and the city wont let you tear down homes in many cases because of historic considerations.

Hindsight Critique•Continue to build relationships to increase deal flow•Property manager (Mercer Hughes) is critical to completing renovations and quick tenant placement•Continue to build relationships with private lenders and personal investors•Have cash available to make quick competitive offersDid you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
