That is because either a jilted applicant or a competitor has "reported" you to the Republic of Facebook for being a filthy capitalist, and you were unilaterally shut down. 

There are good deals to be found at the county tax sale too, but at this point in the process, there is a much higher likelihood that you'll have the added burden of more competitors in the market, which could potentially kill any deals you could have gotten ahead of time, if you had just bought these properties directly from their respective owners. 

If your traffic finds your website valuable, i.e. you somehow gave your traffic value, (and Google sees that) you will rank #1 NO MATTER how many backlinks your competitor has.This is fact.

It took 90 minutes for Daily News to 'steal' the Empire State BuildingIn one of the biggest heists in American history, the Daily News "stole" the $2 billion Empire State Building.And it wasn't that hard.The News swiped the 102-story Art Deco skyscraper by drawing up a batch of bogus documents, making a fake notary stamp and filing paperwork with the city to transfer the deed to the property.

Competitors in the area are seeing over 85% average occupancy, which, if I could match, would give the property over a 19% cap rate.One thing I've read that makes sense is that this is a business rather than purely a rental property, I understand that part of it and am willing to take that on, as I think there is significant upside to be had here.

Korky, a competitor, makes a similar product (which I have not used).

Can't blame him though.. who wants to help create their own competitor?

You only get "recently sold" on LoopNet, and the search is mediocre.The first competitor to consider is Crexi - it's basically LoopNet but smaller.

The challenge is... included in this data is your competitors, your mom, people who aren't motivated and may never sell their house who just stumbled on your site somehow, people who already opted into your site and you got their lead, etc.

Most of my over priced competitors homes sold for LESS then I originally told the seller they could get.
