If it takes 50 hours to get a property tenant ready and 40 course hours to take a college class that can add $ to to your career, I can see how this might help.I know an investor, here in Philadelphia, that pays a full time cold caller, to find deals; but he never seems to add that paycheck against the deal.

As it turns out, I get a little anxiety dealing with potential clients, so after my first showing, I turned my condo over to a property manager.  

We have had some pretty cold weather, some as low as 29 degrees below zero, so it is not a great time to get new renters, not a lot of folks moving in December, January and February, although I did redo another house that emptied in November and have it rented back out. 

I think the hangup I have is anxiety about the unknown. 

There are small challenges with things like HVAC (our side is COLD in the winter!)

You can try sending text messages, RVM, Google and Facebook ads, Door-to-door knocking, cold calling etc.I'm sure you will find success through some of these outlets.

This puts me ahead of my competition.I would hit them with direct mail, text messages, cold calls, and voicemail broadcasts aggressively for a month and then let your foot off the gas on month two.

But...in the real world of emotions, anxiety, stress... some people sleep better at night by paying down their properties as much as possible. 

You can follow up the mail with SMS, RVM, Cold Calling etc.

We are headed into the Spring Market, which is usually a stronger market for cold climate areas.
