I am going to sell that boat in the driveway.. or back in the day you had the real Thieves the mod companies that would blanket the country ripping people off for 1 to 2k and promise help them but really do nothing but help them lose the house.. most based in FLA for obvious reasons. ( judgment proof state).So to be successful at this I finally learned I only went to homes were the sale was within 1 to 3 days.. at that point they realize they need to deal with me.. and most of my competitors did not have real cash they were newbie wanna bee's who needed to wholesale or use a HML.. so that knocked down the competition plus they did not have the connections at the title co I had were I could get title done on the phone in real time. so I knew exactly were I stood.. and then could get 20 to 50k cashiers check and run a courier in person up to Seattle to northwest trustee services and redeem the day before the auction. 

What are your current differentiators from your competitors?

It is however, the only competitor I have heard for loopnet. 278 multi families came up for sale or lease when I did a quick search there.

Like how do i find out the information i need to get from my competitors?

Sorry, had to say it.I would speak to each of your happy past clients and let them know you're really trying to grow your business and would appreciate their spreading the word at their respective brokerages and offer a discount to agents at those firms for 10-15% off.Study what your competitors are doing in your area.

You’d be surprised how many properties have been bought this way.As the bidding war drew to a close, my competitor started getting excited.

In most markets that I've purchased from them on the courthouse steps their properties are bid up much higher than their competitors.

Because generally, whoever their tenant is will do better compared to their online only competitors. 

(and a third for property management) I would seek referrals for any Turnkey company and compare them to their competitors.

These are the real competitors.
