I made and mailed all my yellow letters by hand to cut and save on costs.

But to me scale in that market is critical as well as living there and being hands on with your PM and maintenance .. trying to buy a few rentals there in mymind you need to buy highest price you can afford to make sure your in the best neighborhood and this goes for most all markets as @Nicholas L. mentioned I agree with him and have been preaching the median price points investing method since day one when I got on BP.. 

Broken appliances, missing basics like a cork screw, no artwork on the walls and cold, ratty furniture that was clearly second-hand, noisy neighbors, and more.

- On the other hand, if you are getting more inquires than you can respond to, raise the price AND the requirements for showings.2) When are you looking to move?

That said, expect to deal with a fair amount of fluff leads.The two best strategies I’ve found are inbound methods: direct mail and Google Ads.Direct mail can be expensive, but it can also yield highly discounted properties.Google Ads, on the other hand, doesn’t require data extraction like calls, direct mail, or texting.

Right now, the ROI isn't terrific (I have a handful of properties which I could sell for $250K-350K that I struggle to rent for $1400/mo).  

It's easy to speculate without having any first hand knowledge of the area, but with the way the home values and rents in neighborhoods like Ohio City and Tremont have skyrocketed over the last 10-20 years and the way downtown Cleveland is growing, I think long term this is a good area to invest in personally.  

Halloweens coming, get into some Halloween parades and put together candies in wrapper of "I buy homes, maybe your looking to sell, let's talk" and hand it out.
