If your realtor is sending you homes from the MLS you will have plenty of competition.

I happen to be the most expensive property manager in my area but I also provide more services and better services than the competition.

I was thinking a bit lately about how competitive my market place is currently.

I'm worried I may buy and not be able to rent it out due to too much competition.

Do you find Robert Hall competitive in their rate? 

Then I'd see what the competition is charging and charge the same.You could be creative, I've got friends that will only buy a coin op washer and have free drying.

So, if you are mailing to absentee owners with high equity you have a lot of competition. 

Interesting there was no competition. 

I'm not one of the @mentions but I thought it worth mentioning that another possibility for pooling money is a fractionalized note.

Generally when people are looking for alternatives to the market norms then they are selling deal that aren't sellable.Zero Down Lenders aren't as good.If a lender is offering a Zero Down Payment option then they may be offering terms that really aren't as competitive and they may even have some other motive.
