The average lead temperature is "warm" for direct mail and it takes about 40 leads to convert one into a deal, so it is not worth your time to do direct mail unless you can commit to at least 4,000 mailers per month.

@Bin Chen I am not an HVAC professional, but in my experience every thermostat in my properties will heat the property to the set temperature.

Investment Type: Free standing retail, office/warehouse, high end condos, high yield private mortgage loans, a few land flips and a couple of development deals2.

(two knobs... one to choose oven or broiler and the other to set temperature) I was charged $50 for the service visit and I sent it to the property manager to have the tenant pay.The next day the tenant calls and says the oven burned the top of their food and obviously the oven does not work correctly.

It monitors temperature, humidity, and electricity.

You could also have a separate agreement outlining house rules...I havent done this but it's something i'm considering.Here are a few issues that have come up while I've house hacked:- Tenants disagreeing about how clean the common areas should be, WHO is cleaning, and whether it's worth having a cleaning service (monthly)- the house's temperature- Some tenants leaving things out in the common areas and other tenants getting annoyed at it.Every situation is going to be different, but if you've ever lived with roommates...it's similar to that, except you're not paying rent! 

It's really not hard to move around money where's the better chance to invest next ( I give a hint, a warehouse/industrial asset will perform better than hotels). 

I live in Richardson, TX and had an HVAC person who literally lives 4 streets away from me, charge $800 to replace the compressor (which was under warranty, so he swapped it out at the dealers warehouse).

On the other hand, it may also be a great idea to look into unused properties - empty big-box retail, warehouses, and even odd-sized and shaped lots "no one" wants and consider developing your own self storage facility. 

However HF or HD, they also have overheads and all that, how many hands in how many warehouses it will go through until it gets to you.
