I have a salt water hot tub at my personal home.

@Danielle Levy a lot of questions regarding your accusations:1) What are the average Days On Market (DOM) for rentals in this "hot" market?

Quote from @Craig Parsons: So this here is a hot mess. 

@Michael ReilmanKohler and American Standard both make great toilets, but Kohler toilets have unique parts that you can't replace at Home Depot or Lowe's.

@Albert Gallucci as many have pointed out, in the commercial space of 100+ apartment buildings and offices, property classes have some pretty decent industry standards.We started applying these to 1-4 unit properties around 10 years ago, which you can verify on our blogs, because we saw too many newbie investors not properly taking into account things like, neighborhood status, tenant pool, property condition, etc.Unfortunately, there's no industry standard for this, but you can use some basic logic to think your way through your own Classifications.

@Robert Zajac pretty sure BRB charges less than an 8% management fee, so just as @Nathan Gesner states, they are making up for being below the "industry standards" by charging more elsewhere.BE CAREFUL about PMCs that claim they don't charge a markup on maintenance - TIME IS ALWAYS MONEY!

Any tips for navigating the competition in such a hot market?

And if you guys know any hot market places that will appreciate greatly, I would love to know!  

This will be huge for house hackers out there. 95%LTV on 2-4 unit properties. Set to release on Nov 18th. Keep an eye on this.

With most price drops (as in "hot, don't touch")?
