Note: It is important understand that when you market for motivated sellers, it takes a frequency of 4 to 6 times of the mailing to the same household to get them to call you, the real estate investor.

(Of course, as discussed in this thread, I would keep substantial liability coverage).What I found is that the statistical value of the property insurance, based on Claim Frequency (percentage of households making a claim each year) and Claim Severity (average payout for each claim), in the categories of Fire & Lightning, Wind & Hail, Water Damage & Freezing, and "All Other Property Damage" pales in comparison to the premiums charged.

Rental frequency might be better for a 1 or 2 bar house vs 4 bar on Long Island, unless it's a hamptons house, in which case you have many regulations to consider.

We've used:- local newspaper ads (no longer do these)- signs in the front yard or on the building (we've had a lot of interest generated, but never rented to a sign respondent)- Zillow / Trulia / Hotpads (our most effective in actually finding people we've rented to)- Zumper / apartments.com (generate fewer leads but probably higher quality)- Craigslist (used to get a lot of good response here, but the frequency and quality of applicants has declined in recent years)- Facebook marketplace (variable)- Our own website (mostly we drive traffic to it from the other ads, and have more detail and photos here)Looking forward to other people's responses.

Thier age, health conditions, frequency of visits for services as well as thier loyalty to thier doctor are considerations to the value the expected earnings.

The cash flow is nice, but the longer I hold the property the lower my average annual ROI is because that initial value creation is stretching over a longer period of time.The other reason is that after 4 to 5 years after a rehab, my properties tend to have a higher frequency of maintenance requests.

There is one true test to determine if an investment is passive: once you have made the investment, from that point forward, any activity made by you, regardless of the type, duration, frequency, etc of that action, has no bearing whatsoever on the outcome of the investment.

And how many times would you send out letters to that list and what frequency?

The airways are "owned" by the public, regulated by the FCC and every TV station must apply for license for designated frequencies.

Frequency of mailing?
