It would be greatly appreciated and NO, I am not based in CT so I am not involved as a would-be competitor to you or your business.Thank you again for a very telling Post.

@Quin Ortiz how many competitor programs have you tested?

You'll want to collect research that goes far beyond the documents and reports provided by the sponsor.I'd work my way down this list when looking at the buildings: Specific to the properties: Acquisition Costs, Environmental Reports, Appraisals, Property Condition Reports, InspectionsBecause these are likely commercial properties, much of the value is connected to the tenant, so evaluating the tenant becomes crucial: Conditions of Leases (duration, escalations, extensions), Balance Sheets, Competitors, Historical Performances, Credit Scores, Macro TrendsLocal market factors that you are used to pulling: population density, population growth, unit type inventory and growth (multifamily), median income, etc...Financing terms: interest rate, principle paydown plan, cash sweep options...Offering model: management plan, operations, asset management, exit strategy.Sponsor track record: Every sponsor has a list of the previous offerings within the PPM.

Market Research- Reviewing Competitors: We look at nearby listings to ensure our prices and offerings are competitive.- Keeping Up with Trends: We check local market trends to take advantage of busy times.6.

It’s just too short compared to the more extensive ads from your competitors.

This can be done for a specific property by researching competitors and using some software to identify rental rates of nearby properties.

I appreciate your candid, abundance mindset about a competitor.

I would rather take 1 year to get all zoning done on a site where no other competitors can come than to be able to build something day one with lots of comparable lots around me.  

Look at your competitors hero photos and do something different with other colors2.

In addition to using AirDNA, research active and potential competitor rentals in your target market near Gatlinburg by browsing booking platforms.
