Easier to find, maybe, with less competition for them.

@Bill Coleman you could compare the features in other rental/retail sale homes on the same street or neighborhood to get an idea of the competition...

Looks like a wild bunch of heavy hitters to me, Where were you, I don't see any of the boozer signs or pool tables?

Miami is the 2nd fastest growing metro in the country right now - (behind Dallas), so unfortunately, it just comes down to being a highly competitive environment out there right now - as I'm @Andy Collins can attest to.

I do plan on investing in Canada and possibly branch out to the US in the future as the market is more competitive and the ROI is higher (as far as I know).

For paint -- right now the walls are painted in either glossy or semi-gloss paint (not an expert yet) over a heavy knockdown texture.

Although I'm still learning the ropes when it comes to wholesaling, it would seem to me that this could serve as direct competition to wholesalers.

If a LOT of people complain, ask for feedback on your competition.

I'm starting to think that investing in heavy duty curtain rods is the way to go.

Pricing it competitively or doing something to make it stand out from the competition will keep it rented to quality tenants.
