Even better if you include a bit better than the most basic TV, maybe mid-line package or a bit higher.Tenants wouldnt have to worry about TV or Internet and would feel pretty spoiled.I bet it would decrease vacancy rate and you could charge a bit more per month.I wonder what else could be included (or built into the monthly rent and billed as 'free')??

This thread covers a topic that we just posted today on the BiggerPockets Blog:The Unsustainable Wholesaling Business ModelSome food for thought in there . . .

The numbers are a little bit confusing because I bought two properties as a package (same seller).

lowe's puts 10% off coupons in welcome packages at post office...i pick up a few every now and then :)

You can't beat that price.So before you go spending your limited dollars on any guru's package about wholesaling, you should invest your time into reading the Wholesaling Forum right here on BP.

There are some variables that can increase or decrease any potential result that you might have.The message is going to be important.How you write the message can have an impact.How the message is packaged will have an impact as well.Have you talked with some others that do direct mailings for any insights?

The closing costs are much less on a per unit basis on your MFRs, as opposed to a package of SFRs needing individual appraisals, title work, etc.So you can buy a nicer B-class MFR property with moderate 75% financing, and enjoy higher ROI than your unleveraged SFRs.Or you can buy a C-rated MFR with high enough occupancy to get financing, and really capture a huge ROI.You can also lock in 30 year fixed rate financing on larger MFR properties that is totally unavailable on SFR packages.And obviously you can take down a bunch of units at once and get your capital to work.

Then I would present the package to investors that buy rentals.

Some food for thought:I had 4 hours to complete.
