It's about building a consistent brand and presence in the community. 

By being respectful, firm and consistent I was able to evict the tenants.

I have a system of 5 mailers, consisting of 3 letters, 1 handwritten letter, and a postcard.

Purchase price: $720,000 Cash invested: $144,000 Purchased a portfolio that consisted of one 3/3, one 3/2, two 1/1, one studio.

Having everything together in one place will help you see the overall health of your business plus these are related to each other, for example, your mortgage payment consists of interest (P&L item) and principal (liability) so you don't want to track the interest only on one software and the principal on another.

One question that has come up as I begin the rehab process is about how long will banks or loan officers require consistent rental income for short term rental until they'll approve a refi?

Lenders generally require you have consistent income for two years (same industry).  

Although I am making decent money right now for someone who just graduated college, I am contemplating leaving my job in the near future about 1-2 months from now to devote all my energy to wholesaling.I have been consistently marketing (cold calling) for almost a month now to vacant absentee lists.

Any main industries providing consistent employment for tenants and attracting folks off the west coast? 

The key is consistency in marketing regardless of the strategy.From the investors I work with auctions have been working, consistent direct mail campaigns, and driving for dollars.
