I'll probably have to watch my competitors price more closely.

But we dont have more inventory, we dont have lower prices, and there is definitely not less competition.I guess my point is that a newbie is going to have a really hard time getting into the game, and the mom and pop landlords (like me) will have a hard time getting deals that actually make sense, and the guys with all the money will continue to purchase in cash essentially pushing out every other competitor.  

Or, is it just some kind of scare tactic designed to put what they believe are there non-licensed competitors (Wholesalers) out of business?
