I am hoping as I venture into the Columbia area I will have the same outcome where I feel not as much competition and prices and taxes are better.

You have a lot of competition so you really have to get everything going great across the board to get high adwords rankings.

The market is just too competitive these days, and I can get better rent for less price in Muncie.

I wouldn't expect to see very competitive offerings for a near stabilized multifamily of that term length through crowdfunding.  

Their are deals they are just harder to come by and you have more competition.

The bidding is competitive here, so if you get for more than anyone else is willing to bid, you're not going to do well.

My point is look at the part of the market that fell first for the first sign of recovery and you can see clear signs of a bottom, more competition, etc in the market that fell first.2) Inflation, hard to argue again with this especially as we go into QE3 later in the year.

Saying that though, all of these fees are negotiable and depending on how competitive the market is this can change drastically.

I would say that MLS has extremely high competition for the rehab and rent sfr's.

They offer extremely competitive coverage in most states across the country.
