The success of your cold call (or any marketing) campaign depends on  the quality  of  data (leads)  that you are using.

Here's some basic copy & paste info that may help you make better investing decisions:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Quality over quantity for me. 

Buyers expect premium finishes, so skimping on quality can hurt resale potential.

How have you identified quality contractors and kept them on pace?

It more likely may be found with a local investor/teacher doing “hands on” mentoring himself and not through an organization run like a production line. 

I had a tenant force me to pay for some dumb azz air quality test where she claimed my air was bad and making her sick.

While I don't object to spending money to do one's due diligence, I don't know if $500 is called for when you can get very high quality syndication groups/meetups/information for free.
