I've tried the approach of asking different wholesalers in my area, but I never get a reply I guess its because people think their "helping their competition" so their not willing to help out.

Ann Bellamy Where I am there would be/is real competition for a $225K house needing only $25K repairs for a retail value of $300K.

Unless the single family is near a busy street, an ugly abandoned commercial building or some other negative factor like that where there less owner occupant competition, but it would still rent easily to good renters.

Other than that it would be competitive in my market.

Less competition for us.

Do not expect to get on page 1 with a competitive keyword without a bit of work.

Although at times it may seem that your competition seems to be 'everyone'.What if...

The only question you need to know is "how does your property measure up to the competition?"

Then, you have to know the rents at the nearest competition; so long as you are below those, and comparable in conditions, very few would move, even for the near-free cost of moving.

Here in Las Vegas the competition for REOs is fierce.
