I've done a detailed competitive analysis and nobody on the market has the sq footage, washer dryer hook ups and is charging less than $650 plus $30 RUBS.

I like doing this type of deal because it scares away a lot of competition, meaning that a motivated seller has to negotiate with ME, because I might be the only one to negotiate with.You will need to build your own realistic pro-forma, plug in percentages if you don't have actual expenses.

KC seems to be really competitive for those houses.

Shop the competition a bit and get a feel for rents and quality of properties.

I definitely heard that.Much more competition than before.There are a few guys in town buying up.Thanks.

I wouldnt do it, its a pain in the ***, you lock in a price too early, and you let someone dictate finishes and timeline while cutting out competition.  

@Chris Clothier  I'd say that is a pretty good ratio: 60% repeat client number shows you take great care of client's investments and the 40% new client number shows you provide a competitive product with great value and are set up for growth.

Competition is higher so make a lot of offers if that's your strategy.

The bonus is these direct mail newspapers cost less to advertise in as well.You have to be consistent if you do advertise (run it every week) and if there is some competition in the same paper then make sure your ad is differentExamples are:Got House?
