My competition is in similar situation.

I'm not sure the cost of the ads in the classifieds, but there isn't much competition for the space in my local paper.I don't think this is a great way to advertise properties that are already completed, but could be a great way to find houses to flip.In general, the people who are subscribing to the newspaper are older and are not as tech savvy.

If you come across a really good deal, you are going to want to get that property under contract before your competition does.

nwi is good but alot of competition nowadays so harder to find the deals.

So far it's not created any competitive issues with our homes for lease.

Both of these places would have positive cash flow allocating for legit cap expense ($250-$300 for a detached unit per month, so at least $500 for a detached duplex), vacancy 5%, and maintenance.I really should not be encouraging competition in my area but I am NOT using Escondido because I think it is unique but because I know it well and know what duplex to quad are on the market and what duplex to quad have sold. 

I would personally want to know I had an exit if a deal came to me.And in Sac if that is were your targeting your one of a thousand doing this.. you need to be able to react .. put up EM and beat the competition to the deals.. all this seo website that is easy its all out sourced.. but it does not close deals for you..

I know the market is very competitive here too.

I know Wells Fargo offers a 3% down loan and they tend to be pretty competitive with their rates.  

The online lenders on there are usually pretty competitive and it will get you a good reference point on the current rates/fees.
