Here's a pic of these "competitors" working together.

I use CoStar, which is pretty pricey, but also verify the rents with actual phone calls to competitors (through my underwriters) before submitting an offer.

Look on their maps for competitors.  

They can raise their price, or run to your competitor if your competitor is willing to spend more per lead.

Easiest way is to just get on Airbnb and check your competitors.

@Joshua Furrow few ways you can get some data.. check competitors in your area on AirBnB, VRBO, AirDNA is a good resource but more information is available for a fee /free version offers basic info, Pricelab OR a property manager who will do this for you 😆

I live in Northen MD and just today found out one Extra Storage location (801 Long Dr, Aberdeen MD) is doing $18 for 5'X6 and $42 for a 8'X10', indoor elevator accessed, climate-controlled taking over its competitors' business.

However, I felt that I had a deep understanding of the market, the competitors, the products and the company I was invested in to make the right decisions.  

Trouble is, if there's sufficient proof of self-sustaining income from your proposed purchase, your COMPETITORS will make it that much harder for you to score a BARGAIN.

So I needed to select from one of our competitors.
