We have a lot of competition in our market with other companies or individuals sending mail but I hear time and time again from sellers that the majority of people sending mail don't answer/return phone calls and are just unprofessional on the phone. 

We are in a extremely competitive market on Long Island, NY (the current house under contract had over 15 offers on it) and would likely be willing to wait if Wells Fargo needs to foreclose on the trust to clear the title.PS: My lawyer has been in contact with 3 large title insurers and they have declined to give title insurance until this issue is clarified.

A lot of the "rental grade" houses that I see still will have higher end finishes to stay competitive with the market.

The market has remained extremely competitive in some areas.

Meaning, you'll give a hefty chunk of any earnings back to the company.I would strongly recommend taking a look at our brokerage model at eXp Realty.We have a very competitive agent/broker split as well as other opportunities to earn income (passively). 

That's pretty competitive but it depends on a few things:What's your FICO score?

They are extremely knowledgeable and part of a national association of property managers that sets them apart from the competition.

You basically only need to know how to operate a mouse to play the game, because the first couple of hours don't require any ability to diagnose problems with the house.The most positive thing I can say about the game is that it's very drunk person friendly if you're like me and tend to prefer games with competition but don't want to derank if you've been drinking.

With regards to our flipping model, we usually stick to our model of purchasing project houses under $180k but the market had been extremely competitive and supply was limited; it also seemed like a great deal on paper so we ended up closing on it for $212,750 (all in).

If your competition has similar finishes (old appliances, no central AC, etc), then you manager is right to tell you to keep.
