What did the novice do to warrant that advantage over you?

I'm slightly familiar with the tax advantages, yet I have the slightest idea on the BEST method.

I don't much like a lot of competition.

Take advantage of that.

I am really open to most anything, but I feel my competitive advantage would come in with badly damaged houses.

Nothing like some good old-fashioned competition!

This saves time and reduces the aspect of tenants asking for extras when they know there is competition for your unit.

I want to move, but a house of equal quality in a nice area would cost more than I could get for my house so I'd lose my Prop 60 advantage.

From RealPage 10-K page 14, they say "The principal competitive factors in our industry include total cost of ownership, level of integration with property management systems, ease of implementation, product functionality and scope, performance, security, scalability and reliability of service, brand and reputation, sales and marketing capabilities and financial resources of the provider.

But I'd be grateful for advice from someone with more experience.Here's an example property:4-plex, 2bd/1ba unitsAsking Price: $170kRental rate at leasing office (other identical units) is currently ~$575/mo.Realtor summary shows estimated gross income at $28k/yr, estimated NOI is about $18k/yrBoth property and the community look to be well maintained, HOA appears healthy.Some readily apparent risks:*With 25 other identical buildings, it may be competitive to find tenants.
