A savvy self-managing landlord can probably get fifty or sixty more years out of it by catching up on the building's regular maintenance and staying current.The house next to it, on the other hand, is getting ready to fall down.

-and like you mentioned there is some student housing in B neighborhoods that's reasonably priced/the numbers make sense.Look forward to catching up with you & comparing notes further.

It takes about 3000 mailers to get a deal.So if your list is only 103 strong... those odds really aren't that great... even if you DID catch every single one of them on the first call.I never did cold calling before so I can not say much about it... but brother... just listen to me... doing other methods will give you SUCH better results man.I do hope you get one man.

Ah, thanks for catching that dollar amount error!

The catch is - I've never been to Colorado (ever) lol.

In Texas all valid offers have to be in writing, so verbal offers are more like fishing....you might catch something you might not.   

I suspect she will either move (easy to get it re-rented) or pay but have to catch up a bit. 

Looking to catch up in the next year or so.

It may be beneficial to put a drainage line around your foundation to catch that water before it gets to your foundation.

If you like the tenants and the way they take care of the place, raise it to $750 then catch up the 2nd year.
