There is a lot less competition so now wouldn't be a bad time to enter the market.

I then take the CMA(Comparative Market Analysis) for the property and come up with not only the ARV(After Repair Value), but I also create the MAO(Maximum Allowable Offer) number so that you can see where you need to be to make a competitive offer, and more importantly are able to make your projected profit number.

I think that even well-capitalized landlords should not have to bleed to maintain that situation.Aside from this, and generally speaking, I think that a hands-off government that allows free competition and does not grant bailouts in any sense, just keeps the infrastructure and common defense, is better than one that intervenes.

It may also put you at a competitive disadvantage.One subtlety that many people don't think about is that you have to always calculate repairs and CapEx based on Gross Scheduled Rent (GSR), even if you're living in one unit.

This will make these auctions more competitive and may impact market prices as the auctions become more competitive.

This would crush the chain from tenant to bank and make business so much harder to resume when we finally begin to normalize.I just have to keep telling myself that these insane laws are keeping the competition away from my deals......but that logic is growing harder to swallow day by day

Mercury is generally most competitive for small apartments in Northern California followed by Guard, CIG, Travelers and AmTrust.

I think the best thing to do (and the proper answer to your question) would be to call around town and see what your competition is doing.

That leaves a big opportunity to scoop up a parcel for a low price without facing great competition.

How will you market my home (a good agent will have a large personal network and in this competitive market they probably already have a buyer within their network)?
