But because it's a vacation rental I can block off any dates it's available and live in the place again.

One time the tenants still want a new color painting on freshly new painted walls they were pointed to the front door to exit.   

But there are many areas where you’ll have half million dollar homes that are a block over from homes that is essentially worthless (except for the lot) and need bulldozed. 

I just want the opportunity to speak with an interested party.Besides, I'm hiring a property manager whether it's a block away or 2,000 miles.

I see so many ugly rehabs with ugly colors, floor material, etc. 

There are some other new apartments (1-10 years old ) but Within 1 to 2 miles walking distance this lot is within two blocks from the University with a lot of bars and restaurants in the areaMy questions are.

In fact, you do not want to own the largest home on the block typically as it is more difficult to sell than all the others.Now, if the area does have other 4000 SF homes including this particular street, then yes, you would take the sold comp values of the other similar sized properties within 10% or so of the 4000 SF and use those to comp your new build factoring in some higher values for a new build over an older comp.

Make the call to action to be: "VISIT MY WEBSITE FOR MORE INFO" and place your URL in a different color, different font, different size text as the remainder of the mailer... and make absolutely sure the website is credible!

I can give you my flipping color scheme if you like?

I can not save the block so to say but if I can help one family and they have affordable rent then that is idea for me.
