It is very important to understand that your response rates will go up with subsequent and consistent mailings.

If so, then would it be a fixed amount ($10-15K) or a sliding percentage based on the property's age (A% @ B yrs, C% @ D yrs, etc)?

You will need extra reserves for each property and the underwriting will be different for properties that you don't intend to live in, thereby making it more difficult to qualify for each subsequent loan.
