I’m having a hard time adjusting to this competitive market we are in and would like some insight as to how to structure our offers to get accepted.

My biggest concern is using the correct formula so that I can market a fair and competitive price to my buyers.

Competition can be tight but as a flipper you can't beat this market for selling. 

Pros- less competition because you need to pay all cash. 

The market is very competitive and I have considered looking for deals around riverside and San Bernardino.

With the housing meltdown, the property value is down and so I cannot even sell without taking a hit, plus renting has become harder and there is a lot of pressure to reduce rent etc...So this strategy will enable me to have more flexibility on being competitive on the rent i charge which I reduce to attract stronger tenants, without taking a loss on my monthly rent cashflow...I was looking at all the options given my circumstances etc...Please advice as I am new to all this...What do others do in my scenario...thanks

Connect with me and I might be able to assist as a cooperative since REAL ESTATE IS DAMN COMPETITIVE!!!

Plus the same platform can put you in front of BUYERS before your competition even knows they exist as well as poach clients from their open houses.

I am seeing listings sit longer in this market and competition is lower.

In my opinion, there is just no excuse not to use tools that are free to you and friendly to your applicants.)Apartments.com does have this other listing two blocks away (I don’t know the area, so it may be less desirable than yours) becoming available on June 10: https://www.apartments.com/2-br-1-bath-house-2024-hill-avenue-middletown-oh/0wj61x3/ Unfortunately, it is bad competition: it’s a 2/1 SFR for $825/mo, allegedly “fully updated” inside.Incidental to the above apartments.com listing, I would contact the management company behind it to see if they could opine on your property, as @Bill Brandt suggested.
