If you are using multiple papers consider the same ad or an ad that is tailored for the audience likely to use the specific papers.Figure that you need 6 to 12 months of results before you can really spot trends.

I have been renting buy and holds for over 12 years, and I used to work for the IRS and I learned that re the in service date, the in service date is the day when you make the house available for rent - print out the CL ad, or take a pic of the for rent sign if you can get the date to print out.

I purchase all of my properties AS IS....and cash...and at a discount whether they are on CL, someone answering my ad, or through the MLS.

Get a family member to help out for some side cash, put out a simple ad, or ask around on BP and find someone who can just answer these calls and find the real deals and eliminate the duds.

Oh yeah, they didn't mention that on the late night TV ad or the "Two Hour" real estate investor seminar you went to, did they?

@Eric MeyerC class responses to FB and other online ads will be overrun with people who fail to read the ad or simply choose not to adhere to your instructions.

I would think that placing a ad or website link stating that you are looking to buy these units, and/or contacting the general partners (if you can identify them) and letting them know you would be interested in resale units would provide you with a large selection to choose from.

It towers over my adorable house. 

If you simply adore them, charge that rate minus 5 percent.

The house is adorable- hope you make a bundle on it.
