If you have bad reviews you will lose business to your competition.

Issues like this are common in competitive markets, because Sellers force competing Buyers to purchase properties 'as is'. 

I say this because where there is a lot of competition you'll tend to sit on things a little longer.

I just wanted to see if my numbers are tight and still room for profit even if I needed 2-3 months of holding...262k estimated all in...309,900 estimated list price.... would take 295k2 months holding (3k) = 265kRealtor commission (minimal im the realtor)Closing 9k .... 265k+9k = 274k21k profit quick turnaround...Worst case scenario the HOA allows pets and comes with a parking space so I could rent for about $1900 which covers my fees and should cash flow $400 give or take ...It's an extremely competitive market here in NY with a surplus of buyers and a dwindling supply of homes which makes me think (confident) I can get more after the rehab.. my offer was accepted although another buyer wanted to come in cash after me...

In my area there are a lot of flippers, making finding deals competitive.

Subsequently you can separate yourself from the competition by doing quality/accountable work.Running a business in challenging times creates resiliency, in good times you'll best your competitors.I'm a big fan of small business owners, I sincerely wish you the very best!

My #1 goal is to NOT be in competition to a client of mine.

Due to the low competition, high affordability, learning curve if investing solo, entry/exit strategy, sometimes risk mobile home investors take, and much more I always aim to double or triple my investment capital if reselling to an all-cash buyer or bank financed buyer concerning a mobile home on land or inside a park. 

That means less competition for me.  

Maybe it's harder to be competitive, but if they spend those four years as a ____clerk at a company and work their way up, they'll save the student loan debt and already have the job experience that is so very important.
