Another fun analogy, bandit signs is like chumming the waters for tuna.Direct mailing is putting the right bait on the right hook for the daylight, winds, water temperature, etc. to get a fish on the line.

I was concerned about the potential electric bill because winters in Wisconsin can be pretty brutal.In reality I kept the temperature at a comfortable level and never had an electric bill that went higher than $90 to low $100s.i loved it.

They are always pushing people to use the forums so I just wanted to get some feed back / advice and maybe get the temperature of local markets.

These things can begin to fail and light but then go out hence the oven starts up but then starts switching on and off, never getting to the desired temperature.

It is done with temperature and flow gauges.

I also send cover letters and flyers to every welding school, instrumentation school, and refinery in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, Ohio, and Alabama.Amenities:  Washer/dryer and laundry detergent, kitchen with all appliances and utensils, cable tv in every room, wifi, sheets blankets and towels, soap, t.p. paper towels, outdoor grill. 

I have been to mechanics school,Welding school,cut meat for 35 years, ran heavy equipment, been an over the road truck driver and owned a butcher shop.  

There's a healthy investment to get certified, insurance, etc so wanted to get a temperature gauge before diving in. 

Here is how I approach it-Same type of property, bedrooms, bath, etc (if I can find similar houses)I try to keep the Comp properties in the same school districtI go back 3 months to start (the market is different now than it was 6 months or a year ago)Then I account for upgrades, market temperature, etc.That gives me a range- if I feel the property should be higher than average I need to be able to justify that because properties are sold twice- once to the buyer and once to the appraiser

HelloI'm trying to urgently put together a comparison and a temperature check for the average 25-year mortgage rates available in the SF Bay Area.
