You've got a customer that wants to buy your product badly enough that she'll probably overpay.

He had to pick up about 50 in a single year in order to make the numbers work and build his own property management company with himself as the sole customer.

Here are the average response rates we have seen based on our customer feedback as well as our own mailings throughout the years: Yellow Letters- average response rate of 8%-9%, all kinds of calls (angry calls, curious calls, tire-kickers, quality calls)Typed Letters- average response rate of 8%-9%, all kinds of calls (angry calls, curious calls, tire-kickers, quality calls)Postcards- average response rate of .5%, mostly quality calls.Zip Letters- average response rate of 2%, mostly quality calls.

The property is a 3/2.5 that needs moderate rehab; can easily add a fourth bedroom and turn the half bath into a third full, update the kitchen and bathrooms, move the laundry from the kitchen to a dedicated laundry room, throw up some paint and other cosmetic stuff.

@Joe Splitrock  depends on the area and the customs..I remember my first venture into a new subdivision in Charlotte and was staggered that you had all these new houses with driveways leading up to the front of the house but NO garage  LOL.and I Charleston were we are building parking is defiantly has value.. some lots that you can only park on are worth north of 100k for a small couple thousand sq ft. 

We chose international adoptions for a bunch of reasons I won't bore everyone with, but we love seeing folks who are dedicated to domestic foster care and adoption as well. 

While generic project mgmt products can be twisted and customized to do what you need, they do not understand/ account for the specific requirements of our industry.

In a nutshell, what that means to me is a lifestyle free from certain worries; worries of dedicated work hours, financial emergencies, and most importantly, time away from loved ones. 

I interviewed 3 different managers for ~30 minutes each (my own custom questionnaire is available if anyone wants a place to start with finding a PM).

Building a team takes over a years worth of time and dedication that is focused on networking with other professionals.
