House shopping between Thanksgiving and Christmas is the best time because most people are in holiday mode so you can get a better deal than spring shopping.Keep your mortgage and take out a HELOC.

First one is a basic intro (we buy houses, want to buy 2 in your town this spring, selling direct is great for X reasons, let me know if you want an offer), second one highlights what type of sellers typically like to sell to investors (own timeline, no hassle, house needs repairs etc), third mailing is a simple postcard that has similar message on it, fourth mailing is a letter saying I've reached out before and thought you might find these FAQs useful (and I include a 4 pg FAQ distilled from my website)-- I expected that letter to have more response (you'll see above the 4th mailing had a <1% response rate) and it may be that ppl are waiting til after Easter to call, as I get more calls after holidays when ppl have had time to talk to their family.How to track all of this... you can guess by now that I'm super data oriented.

let me start with happy holidays to all, I'm going with a new HML on a flip my original appraisal was $375.00 the lender needs the appraisal recertified and the appraiser wants $285.00 to do it, is this a fair price for something like this. thank you

All timelines ending on weekends/holidays would be pushed to the next business day...  

I was going to get a roommate but we have family come down during the holidays.

The next one is July 11th due to the holiday.

The cost of waiting for the next tenant to sign up will be higher towards the end of the year when the holidays arrive and not many are out looking for new places...

If there's enough interest for several viewings at that time, especially on a holiday weekend or if someone is traveling from out of town, then I'll do it. 

The second time was the week of closing during the holidays.   

Getting investor's time on a holiday weekend is a very pricey proposition.
