-Redecorating your home is basically a competitive sport in Palm Springs: There is a lot of affordable, stylish stuff to be found at the thrift and resale stores.

No competition (almost)

So he wants this new company to have the same values as his first.Please feel free to give any advice on names and everything for upstarting a business that is very competitive.

I have a python script even to quickly get a new LLC in a push of a button. 

There definitely is some competition in the area with property managers, but there is not quite the amount of larger property management firms that drive lower costs through competition in Columbus as there is in other similar sized markets. 

When good ones do come on the market they usually have multiple offers and I just don't bother getting into the bidding war or my offer is not competitive. 

I don't know if Venmo would get involved, but technically if a tenant were to go to them and say "the landlord told me to pay this way", Venmo would technically be allowed to reverse the payments since it is not to be used for goods and services (unless you are set up with hem as a business and have the payment button option).Credit cards are also a big gamble. 

But ok.Its not a competition.

Is it too competitive?

If 'im going to source competitive debt, supervise redevelopment, strike deals with credit tenants, etc i'm looking forward to get paid for that work like any third party broker / manager would
