It is still competitive , but as with all markets there are always deals to be found.

The MTR market definitely seems to have gotten more competitive in San Diego over the last year.

I think you'll find that's a unique range and won't have as much competition.

Best things for Boston area DSCR (commercial loans) are through local banks as they have the most competitive rates right now.

Take 5-10% off anything that looks interesting and fire away because sellers are taking them and competition is down during this time of year

If this scares off people great, less competition for the rest of us.

For us, we do batch showings instead of individualized showings; it cuts down on labor cost of having constant showings and it actually incentivizes competitions among the "applicants". 

We also offer 3 tiers of competitive maintenance packages for inspections and regular upkeep and maintenance of properties!

I recommend you really study your market to determine the appropriate rent rate, then market yours 5-10% below the competition for a six-month lease.

To that end, I made a Google sheets document with every hospital system in GA along with the following data:CityZip CodeRentometer 2/X   (what a 2 BR, any bath) goes for on Rentometer)RentRentometer 3/1+ Rent (what a # BR, 1.5+ bath) goes for on Rentometer)"Minutes to home"  (how far a drive it is for us)"Staffed Beds"  (measure of how big a hospital is)"Total Discharges" (a different measure of hospital size)"Patient Days"  (yet another different measure of hospital size)"Gross Patient Revenue ($000)" (you guessed it, hospital size)Map Searches & Housing Requests (this and everything below was from FF.com stats page)Furnishedfinder.com Page ViewsTotal RoomsPrivate Rooms % UnitsHotels% Whole Place > 2500 %Whole Place > 2k < 2.5k %Whole Place > 1.5k < 2k %Room > 1500 %Room > 1k < 1.5k Page view per roomThis allowed us to narrow our search to hospital systems near us (less than 2 hours) in a less competitive market (higher page views per room advertised on FF.com) with a significant % of units being rented on FF.com at higher rents (more $).
