I know San Jose is very competitive and if it's been on there for a while, many developers have probably considered it and moved on.

SW Florida has many, many investors so competition is huge.

But because of that there is a lot of competition there right now.I would suggest paying a lawyer and CPA to determine the best entity for what he will be doing.

Its funny you say that because thats all i hear out there, "its too much snow im staying in"...Your stock pilling properties now so when its hot a dry and the competitions back brewing you wont have to work as hard.

I would try to find an economical way to convert to a gas fireplace, and get a leg up on the competition.

If you want an insurance agent, contact agents about your office space, get competitive.

It's true, very true, that any good deal that hits the MLS and is priced right - that deal will get a lot of competition and will be sold quickly, often for a price that I am unwilling to pay.

I'm always looking for areas in the path or progress, and things in the immediate Houston area are quite competitive and pricing has been escalating.

As every other plumber I have met is much older I think your entering an industry that will have a lack of competition and of course always needed.

Overall keeping the price competitive and making sure you are slightly below market will insentivize them the most to stay.
