If I were in your position, I would look at hard data on lot sale prices and frequency of lot sales in your area.

Nowadays, there's so much competition with the institutions using high-frequency software, the individual investors like me also have to use high-frequency software, or we won't get any loans.But it is an awesome model and an amazing financial innovation.

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.

I am not sure why it happens, but the frequency is high enough that I assure you it is not a coincidence.One reason you can see multiple offers is because one offer attracts another.

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.

As much as I am trying to break into the 40+ unit complexes, it just works out that I can only afford smaller units due to the frequency of my purchases. 

., expenses align with projected budget, minimizing unit turns or lease-ups, maximizing occupancy, achieving rental premium projections, etc.)What do you expect from the property management company in regards to reporting (i.e. what types of reports, frequency, etc.)?
