They are my main competitor here in Atlanta.They are good people, I know a lot of those guys.  

If you were paying 25%, and you got actual costs down to 10%, with your own labor as free, and no insurance.....when you add in the cost of your own labor, insurance, then add in profit, and increased costs as you grow in a variable priced model....you're going to be right at the same price of the competitor you fired. 

If my competitors start to then MAYBE I would.

Maybe we are competitors, but would be interesting to see how, if at all, we might work together/collaborate.

You may think “oh well isn’t he/she a competitor?

In a MHP, the tenants have homeownership, so they cannot easily be "stolen away" by a competitor. 

The other way is called the Enemy Method, where you go to Airbnb and Vrbo, look at your direct competitors, and figure out how full their calendars are, at what prices, keep a tally of their income, and make a guess as to their yearly gross.

Very frustrating as I️ now see more signs of another competitor.

If you have competitors, you made a bad purchase.A "get to know you" party is lots of fun, but I don't think such has any strategic importance to you.

After you get some basic information from there, you should use the enemy method to identify how well competitors do in the area.
