Amazing what can come of just grinding volume with cold calling Volume + consistency + follow-up = DEALS.Simple really. 100%

Florida should be busy currently with people staying in the Winter to get away from the cold & snow. 

I am cold calling owners and they are just laughing at me with my offers at 8% caps. 

I hope you or someone is at least keeping an eye on your properties for break ins, squatters, roof leaks, temperature control, frozen pipes (if in cold climate), if you have a basement and sump pump goes out leading to water damage etc.I just talked to two investors in California that have let their properties sit vacant (no mortgages so paying property taxes and insurance).

Cold calling/texting works but you'd have to pay for the numbers and make the calls.

Seen a few Gators in the canal with the cold earlier this week.  

As a resident (who travels a lot) I would say the Midwest does not have the attractions like palm trees & beaches (the great lakes are cold) or amazing mountain ranges, which often come with some disadvantages like high cost of living or hut/humid weather, stroms etc. 

@Mike Sferaif you reach out to them cold with a bunch of questions, they may not be willing to help. 

I've rented in cold weather every month of the year.

It's also really cold outside as well, which he mentioned that "we don't want anyone dying of exposure".
