Sorry Ryan Reese I'm not willing to disclose that because of the risk of competition in my local market. ;)

It has gotten tighter, and competition can be firce, but so can the profits if you know what you are doing.Markets that have been hit with foreclosures are always good places to flip as you have motivated home sellers there (often banks).

"I rent on a competitive risk basis.

But, if you really want to get maximum exposure and the most buyer competition, I would recommend listing on the MLS.

Competition is good comparison is not worth the energy.

“justified” as in competitive to local rent comps?  

We have not considered a 2 floor structure because we feel that high ceilings will be a differentiator in the competitive space.

And it'll enable you to make higher cash offers on competitive properties.In most cases that I've read and heard, it's generally not worth it to get an RE license if your sole reason is just to same on commission on a couple properties.

It’s a very competitive market here right now so I’d need to understand your financing and your goals!
