The success of your cold call (or any marketing) campaign depends on  the quality  of  data (leads)  that you are using.

It could very well be its all lost but seems like a big jump to conclusions by investors that basically did very high interest rate investing and expected  CD like performance..

The Real Estate Guys do a great newsletter with lots of high-level information about the economy and how it impacts real estate.  

Those that own it can be harder to sell as the cash flow from the business will cover the debt service for the business, but not for the real estate.Example: I had a very high-end assisted living facility on the market. 

It gets quite cold here and power bills can be pretty high. 

You'll get differing amounts and qualities of leads depending on the type of marketing, but also depending on who you're marketing to and where.

The seller is highly motivated to sell and has already knocked their price down 6% since listing it 4 months ago.

Take pics of all the junk (I mean high class heirlooms, which is what you'll say in the ad) and put it on craigslist asking for offers.

Nobody wants to be around people like this, so I’ve had to lower my rent drastically and have a high turnover rate here.
