We've been trying to fine tune the rates as well as getting the owners to invest into more amenities to make their homes more competitive/desirable.We own (3) 2 bed 1 bath apartments around 700 sq ft that perform way better. 75-90% occupancy.

Canaan,Jerryll is technically in competition with Carrot in that he offers SEO services to real estate investors.

I could see this as a way to limit competition for STRs. 

GAADAMNIT people, there are 9 other people on the first page of Google, GO BOTHER THEM... but NOOOOOOOO they need an offer from the handsome dude.All motivated, all free, all with NO effort, this doesn't even show the phone calls we are getting from people calling the number on our website. ... and I have no competition.

I love buying houses with existing tenants in my market because there is less competition and I usually get a better deal than the flippers who need it vacant.

Than you take your best 3/6 offers and shoot back to them a request for their best competitive offer, state what your best current offer in hand is and ask if they can beat it.

It is a gated community (Lake of The Woods) which means less competition.

When it comes to the HOA fees A lot of your competition has some of the similar fees or you have to make a decision to help contribute to those as your own expense if you feel you need to be more attractive to the market for an incoming tenant. 

@Zachary JonesIn DFW, the competition is fierce.

I can stay here and flip in jersey since competition isn’t too crazy, but I refuse to believe that it’s nearly impossible to go to Austin or Tampa or any of these “extreme competition” areas and start flipping.
