Any lease or contractor language should be specific about snow removal to meet any city ordinance for property location (city) and type of property (residential vs. commercial)--sidewalks, driveway, if sand/salt applied, and frequency. 

Marketing is ultimately a numbers game:1) Hit as many as you can,2) As often as you can.REACH & FREQUENCY.

You need to hit with numbers and frequency because response rates are low at ~0.5%, and of those that respond not all the numbers work out.People typically send out letters of a course of a few months.Message me if you have at least 200 addresses / names that you want to send to and I should be able to help.Regards,Ray

Once you start landing large closings with frequency you should be able to do that full time.Leasing is a low income activity on the commercial side in my opinion.

I'm assuming that would mean an understood system of communication with the contractors, preplanned order of rehab, frequency of site visits/inspections, etc.  

These are the two main things I have taken away from the marketing topics on biggerpockets.I am curious to know from multiple investors, the frequency and length of your marketing along with the list that you are targeting.Some investors market weekly, while others market every 6 weeks.

Depending on the frequency with which they are used, the keypads may not last very long either.

I think a lot of folks like the midwest in general as you tend find a higher frequencies of deals meeting the 2% rule (monthly rents at 2% of the purchase price). 

I think it's really useful that you've included the frequency with which the books have been mentioned. 

The frequency of sales seems kind of low.Also, a sloppy analysis comparing "Sales Prices" (which I believe is the winning bid) with the retail price seems to indicate that the discount for many of these homes seems relatively low:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Gta1Q8JMFC...I'm probably wayyyyyyy late to the game at this point, which may explain why the auction market competition is so fierce.
