I would say that your QI should be competitively priced, but the lowest price is not always the best. 

I'd lower the price slightly below your competition and get real reviews.Be customer focused.

Yes, the more units you go up, generally the less players in the game so there is some advantage in purchase competition as you go up, but also more management scale and cap ex for someone who is new.3.

Reduced competition and higher prices for renters.RealPage, of course, denies this.

Check to see how many contacts a listing has received in X amount of days to see if it is competitively priced.

Metal is competitive with lumber construction cost. 

Any home you buy with $20,000 is likely going to be a fixer-upper, which means it can be heavy on repairs, turnover costs, vacancies, etc.

The free marketing is not effective in a competitive market neither is the marketing strategy.

IMO it is necessary in competitive markets. 

I'd run your numbers based on that to understand what a realistic offer would be to most people and then see if you can be competitive.
