Hi, just wanted to get some feedback to see if anyone has used the services of STRsearch.com. they look like they run a lot of analytics and help with figuring out what you need to do to find and run a successful STR....

.- For some reason, many of our competitors don't tell an owner about repairs under the limit and the owner only finds out when they get their monthly statement.

Many of our competitors and nearby communities are offering aggressive move-in specials like ½ off the first month, one month free, or even two months free rent.In our leasing office, we’ve received a high number of inquiries, but many of the prospects simply don’t qualify.

A local person, doing the same strategy as you, that's a competitor buddy. 

The rent amount may not be the issue, but what you are offering is pretty rough.The other issue is that the only type of tenant you can attract with beat-up finishes are the ones who are on a budget and "don't care".The single best thing you can do is personally tour some of your competitors close by.

If you get them to sign on poaching your vendors is really easy for a competitor.

Maybe there are similar competitors.  

How could they raise their price if their competitor is increasing lolmany times, the syndicator exist because they get  paid for free by LP.

We left those strict - and noticed that we did not have as much competition as in the urban markets and our competitors mostly had strict cancellation policies as well.
