Yes, we incur greater upfront rehab costs than our competition, who's approach to improving {fiscal} performance is to convert their buildings to electric baseboard heat and move heating costs into the hands of the tenant.

What does the competition have?

State farm is also competitive but they only sell State Farm Insurance.

I think in a competitive market this is a must but given we're new construction and there's no other inventory in the area, I don't see it holding us back.....at this point we really want to unload it so we can move on so we're contemplating either getting a realtor to take it on, lowering the price, or both.....I think the main draw of a realtor is to be a great salesman and sell someone on the property who's not fully committed, but at the same time I'm not sure how effective they're going to be......lowering the price is another option but if we drop it to 259 do you think that will change anything?

Hi @Mike D'Arrigo -I live in the Austin area, but think the markets are potentially better for newbies outside of this very competitive city.  

Not enough deals, not enough clients, competition, economy, etc.  

This house has a lot of competitions for it and I believe it will sell in a few days.

The market is here in the Boston area is quiet competitive.

@Matthew Irish-Jones are you saying buy in cash because its been competitive lately ?

If it's not for several weeks or months, some of your competition may lose interest.
