These tenants have been a nagging pain since lease signing day.  

However, I could write a whole book on the major pain points within the industry.

The mid to end of the cycle is usually signaled when the "dumb money" rolls in.

There are all together 24 of these ceiling trays.If I can removed the wood trims - don't think this is going to be too difficult, the glued on mirrors would be a real pain to remove. 

(not to get too morbid) They have urgent pain.

Failure itself can be a very valuable teacher painful to go through but important.

Water service hookups in Chicago have become so painful that only three sub contractors even do it anymore.

This would be just one more phone call; not that much more incrementally painful in the scheme of things.Still, you make a good point.  

If it is a specific list of home owners within an area(s), then I would rather create a personalized postcard campaign raising their pain points and you providing them benefits and credibility so prospect will call you.  

The last step in your screening process, should include a phone call or meeting to assess the character of your tenant and whether you feel they will be easy to work with or highly demanding and a pain in the ***.
