I don't know about negative keywords, but consider bidding on your competitors names :)

If you stop maintaining, your competitors overtake you, which means you have to get back to building.

I would look on VRBO.com and AirBnB to see how many reviews the competitors in your area are getting.

You may try using the website grader against your competitors' sites and see how you compare.

That's from a competitor, not an associate.My thought in reading the OP is that the level of thinking isn't thorough enough to pass judgment on valuation.

My gut tells me this is a deal I can definitely sail into, and somehow, the challenge makes the deal more appealing, since I know competitors will have to negotiate the same obstacles.

Like all things when there is a profit competitors come in.

The only thing worse than one vacant property is two vacant properties.As others have mentioned, the vacancy could be caused by many things--rent price is too high, wrong neighborhood, the grade of the property is lower than competitors, winter (esp. the holidays) is dead season for new renters, insufficient or poor advertising, the type of property doesn't match the needs of the local tenant pool, etc., etc., etc....I don't know which issues are causing your vacancy specifically, but I do know you'll want to figure that out before going for property #2.Plus, figuring out why your current property isn't renting will help you better understand what type of property to buy next (and what types to avoid).Good luck out there!

They auto load to some sites, but not any other large competitors that they wouldn't want to share with.

We have a third party software that manages are daily rate based on events and competitors in the area.
