I'd love to know what other people are seeing or what they are doing to combat this. rent is actually decreasing in the last 12 months, lot of apartment syndication is on trouble becoz their competitor is starting to give free rent or reduced rent, also there're more rent unit available in the market these days, like texas in general would have more rent unit available til 2026.

I've also completed trials of competitors and found that when compared to Buildium, they didn't hold a candle.

I ask because I have just picked up a line of products that I am looking to get info out to and sell to a specific customer base.I am confident that my competitors are not using this type of marketing.

Barriers to entry for future competitors. 

Sometimes a swipe For Rent sign in the yard is enough and a lot of folks use Zillow in their searches. 

It occurred to me after I wrote this post that a "competitor" probably flagged my ad or whatever they do.

Go on VRBO and check out your competitors bookings.

Saving 2% in processing and 3% elsewhere is what is required to survive and/or thrive, while competitors are shutting down or being bought out.Other trends in 2021:- Paying existing tenants to conduct showings before vacating, thus not needing to pay real estate brokers - No office, be completely remote, save $$$$$ by not having an office space- Virtual team: pay $5 per hour to an expert European consultant instead of $20 to an entry level American.- Your property photos = marketing content, professional photoshoot / videos / 3D walk-throughs = major change in demand generation

I would like to respond to Ivo Radloff, if you really are a person or a competitor.

I generally don't like bidding at auctions but if my competitors don't know what they're bidding on, they might bid too low so I might get this one.
