Even if competitors wanted to come in they physically could not.Ill run through the numbers with you.Previous owner purchased in 2004 for $649,000.We purchased in August of 2012 for $515,000.I have tried increasing the rents, but when I do people move into the large climate controlled facility.

Many of our competitors are not even bothering to comply.

I am still an independent  agent and appointed with both companies as well as Foremost, which was our biggest competitor. 

Either a coupon for the store itself or a competitor's coupon, both usually work.  

I think asking your would-be competitors would be a bad idea, don’t you think?

They will be more than likely to work with you since it allows them to pitch to you the benefits of using them over their competitors.

In terms of envisioning a finished product I have a 3D home design software that allows me to produce that very efficiently and also provides the building information that I need as a contractor  which helps make my process for bidding any of my projects much more streamlined and has actually helped close deals when I am 30-40% more expensive than my competitors.

They don't cultivate potential competitors and alert governments to regulate the business in the long run.

If they refuse, and you have competition in your area, tell them you will call the competitor and see if they will wire it for free if you switch.

For knowing how much to charge, we looked at sites where our competitors would be: craigslist, trulia, realtor.com, etc. and compared our home and amenities to what they're offering.
