Hopefully they will be able to leverage the resources of RealPage to increase the feature-set and frequency of updates to Buildium without jacking up the prices even further. 

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.

AND, with the Roofing sales people (we have no salesmen), the independent adjusters, the fraud of the whole system, and the frequency of the "valid" storms that do warrant ins replacements ... yes, our areas have increased Costs and pricing.FYI, I actually got our business GL policy provider (ins co) out of Cali (they are licensed in 3 states) to cover my personal house ins, with more coverage, for 1/2 the price that Geico was raising it to!

What is customary on frequency of visits in situations like this?

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). 

If you can't find a crime map call the police department and get violent versus non violent crimes and frequency to spot a trend for your property area and location.

The problem is it takes a while, and if you need to feed your family, "Wholesaling only" is not the best plan, because even if you have money for marketing, it takes seven times frequency on a mail piece to be effective for a whole saling deal, more than seven times if you have a lot of competition where you liveMy advice to you is not to do "Wholesaling only"Dev [email protected] has awesome videos about marketing directly to sellers, Google search "rule of seven we buy houses"To do low equity dealsLook at expired listings and go after sellers who can't so because they have no equity but there's no work to be done in the houseDo a lease option assignment and make 3% in 10 hours, just working with the seller and the tenant buyer

Seems like folks from SS are joining us with frequency! 

I would personally also lower the frequency of gardening and put utilities in tenant's name.If you refi to a 30 year fixed rate (guessing ~3.75% interest), your monthly payment will go to around $830 (principal + interest) + $390 (escrow won't change) = $1,220.
