I personally think it's not just mailers but a combination of actions that works.

I purchased SpeedQueen coin washer and dryer for my property in Jefferson Park and its been great so far.

I think it's okay to not have a deluxe backyard, see what the market is demanding.We didn't want to or have the funds to do a full renovation, Here are some things we did when we got our primary ready to rent:-Tore out fiberglass tub and surround in master bedroom-Had new tub and tile surround put in (felt nicer for primary bedroom suite)-New toilets and all new faucets-Hired guy to resurface all kitchen and bathroom countertops-Took down popcorn ceiling and had resurfaced/ painted-Neutral paint and trim throughout (had different colors all over prior)-changed out washer hook-up valves to prevent issues Things I wish we would've taken care of:-regular yard maintenance hired out and baked into rent-LVP flooring throughout (kept mix of tile and carpet)Just did final walkthrough and got keys this morning for tenant moving out.

I recently learned that if you owner occupy a residence for part of the 5 previous years before sale, and you rent it for the remaining time, you can calculate the percentage of time the property was owner-occupied (and thus qualifies for the sec. 121 primary sales tax exemption of up to $250k for single filers) vs the time it was being rented (which qualifies for 1031 exchange) and claim both benefits. https://hcsequity.com/blog/combining-1031-exchange-with-121-....How does this work for a multi-family?

Or maybe you want to do a combination of the above?
