I've also completed trials of competitors and found that when compared to Buildium, they didn't hold a candle.

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.

You’d create a new wholesaling niche that would separate you from other competitors out there...And People like ME would become Loyal ongoing customers that would easily buy every single one of your deals as fast as you can get a hold of them...With all that upfront work...couldn’t you justify a higher commission?

I haven't had much luck finding mentors in my area, I am starting to wonder if I don't come across as future competitor or what.
