I ask because I have just picked up a line of products that I am looking to get info out to and sell to a specific customer base.I am confident that my competitors are not using this type of marketing.

Barriers to entry for future competitors. 

Sometimes a swipe For Rent sign in the yard is enough and a lot of folks use Zillow in their searches. 

It occurred to me after I wrote this post that a "competitor" probably flagged my ad or whatever they do.

Saving 2% in processing and 3% elsewhere is what is required to survive and/or thrive, while competitors are shutting down or being bought out.Other trends in 2021:- Paying existing tenants to conduct showings before vacating, thus not needing to pay real estate brokers - No office, be completely remote, save $$$$$ by not having an office space- Virtual team: pay $5 per hour to an expert European consultant instead of $20 to an entry level American.- Your property photos = marketing content, professional photoshoot / videos / 3D walk-throughs = major change in demand generation

I would like to respond to Ivo Radloff, if you really are a person or a competitor.

I generally don't like bidding at auctions but if my competitors don't know what they're bidding on, they might bid too low so I might get this one.

However, the best way to get market rents is to call local competitors of multifamily buildings and "secret shop" them as if you were a renter.

That's left up to the investors to manage, all five of them, and to haggle over the crumbs left after the sale and taxes.At the same time, the extremely solid place I'm buying is remote managed by an absentee computer guy who's just tired of dealing with his tenants and last visited his property from six states away five years ago.With competitors like these, who needs friends?

Like use swipe or some type of app like you did for cash app.
