However, at the local level you would be offering advice to someone that could be your direct competition...

Hey @Luis LozadaIf you are in an area with very low competition, buying a cheap list is a good way to get started quickly.

It probably will not be too long before you feel the competition and laws change where you are.

First time buyers don't look during that time so there won't be nearly as much competition.

It's keeps me a little more competitive. 

The cost per click will depend on the keywords that you are using and how much competition is using the same keywords.For Example. 

NP notes have gotten more competitive but there are still deals to be had if you are flexible and in your strategy.

I hired a Property Manager that was less expensive than their competition and I got what I paid for.

I too believe that the best choice of action would be to alert his competition or hire an outside force, but my father insists he would rather not add to the stress of the situation. in the end id say with this many problems id rather lose the problem all together as well.

This market seems to be very competitive and I’m often too late on these deals.
