@Raheem JamaalSo you have never invested in real estate, never bought a deal, never analyzed a deal (with all expenses including capex), have no credibility, and now you are going to establish a pipeline of great deals, on demand, with no competition for actual investors?

These companies structure their properties for fractional ownership, meaning that you can 1031 out of a property that you solely own and manage into a piece of a larger property (or portfolio) that already has management in place.

I am curious to see what their competitive advantages of each are as well as the weak points of each are.

When it comes to multifamily properties there's less competition even though there is still plenty, down here a good multifamily deal will have an offer accepted rather quickly.

It's not a 'marketplace competition,' they are hands down the best (& one of the very few) deal in town.TCF is prime + 1.99, everyone else doing purchase money owner occupant 10% HELOCs is at like LIBOR + 4 and crazyness like that.

2) The taxes are competitively low for this specific house, last updated on 5/31/16. 

Still, its does get tricky in a more competitive markets like now, especially in volatile real estate markets like San Francisco.

Your first move should be to contact the realtor and ask them more info - they'll probably tell you anything you want to know in order to get your lead - and see how competitive the bids were, or whether the market will absorb your condo at that price or higher.  

Electric heat is insanely expensive.If owner can tie into natural gas it would be a fraction of the cost.

I think over the next few years and perhaps long term, we will only see the prices go up with the rates being where they are, the competition that always exists between lenders, closing agents, etc., and the housing market staying stagnant.
