Let's see if a competent and helpful 1031 expert has time to help clarify this for you.  

Once you get one fixed up, selling is the easy part because of the lack of competing inventory.

So at your level I really see maybe other local banks competing for the business but nobody else.      

Again, you're in control because rent to own is in short supply and you dictate the price and terms.When I told my real estate team back in November 2014 that this strategy (Buy at 80% and then rent to own at 110%) is the ideal strategy for the upcoming year, I didn't realize that the bigger players are already doing it.

The property has no back taxes and is on private land that is not being sold along with the trailer, so anyone competing against me will also need to move it. 

My ONE truly unfair advantage is my ability to demonstrate my competence and proficiency with the task at hand.

Honestly, I have tried this once and did not do well but I have a lot of competition in my city.Just try to get into local meetups about real estate, and there you will learn who the major players are and you can talk to them.

Everyone is looking for properties that need no or little work on them that can be purchased for 30% under market and there is stiff competition for these properties and of course you will be competing with all cash buyers most likely. 

That is where you will meet all of the players in your area of interest (your backyard).  

The tax is simply a device congress came up with well before IRA's even existed to level the playing field when tax-exempt entities compete with taxpaying businesses.Passive income is not taxed, and would include things like interest, dividends, royalties, and rents from real property.
