A small innovation I personally don't mind incorporating but the entire design?

Not sure if this is an innovative strategy or just illegal but I would like some input.

The house was winterized back in Nov 2013, so the water was turned off and the water meter was removed to ensure the pipes wouldn't freeze (here in Michigan).

I went from a response rate of almost 10% in Jan 2013 with 634 letter sent and two closed deals to where we are today, which is increasing our budget to 2500 letters monthly and a response rate of about 3% and only two closed deal in the past 6 months (though our increase in mailing mainly took place recently in Nov 2013).

Yes, the market has dipped in Nov-Jan, but I think that is seasonal more than a true downturn.

This isn't a commentary on lease purchase methods, even though a tenant buyer should do a title search, just evidence that we here in south Florida are striving to maintain our dominance in real estate fraud schemes, some innovative, and some not so much.

I already follow the Rocky Mountain Institute which is a company that promotes sustainability, with a special focus on profitable innovations for energy and resource efficiency... so it seems like your organization is right up my alley!

I do short leases as a fall back if for some reason I have a vacancy in Nov-Jan time frame to get back into the peak renting period.

Through innovation, new products, supermarkets, transportation systems, housing, medical breakthroughs, hospitals, etc., they enrich our lives, give us jobs and food and many services we take for granted.

Unfortunately it’s only local, but you might search around for some innovative HML’s in your area and suggest a program like this to them.
