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.

However, the best way to get market rents is to call local competitors of multifamily buildings and "secret shop" them as if you were a renter.

You’d create a new wholesaling niche that would separate you from other competitors out there...And People like ME would become Loyal ongoing customers that would easily buy every single one of your deals as fast as you can get a hold of them...With all that upfront work...couldn’t you justify a higher commission?

I haven't had much luck finding mentors in my area, I am starting to wonder if I don't come across as future competitor or what.

You can have a look at the report yourself, but I think you might have to register for a free account with Onera (I guess it is a new competitor of AirDNA): https://onera-group.com/str-markets/fresno

I own a couple other types of businesses and everyone of my competitors keeps there cards close to their chest.

Facebook only generated one renter for me in the almost 4 years I have been doing this.https://www.furnishedfinder.com/stats will give you an idea of what your competitors in Denver are charging for a room.
