It's definitely a chore...My neighbor spent 3 weeks installing his new one BUT he owns a construction company.

@Greg S.Looking at "a week's worth of revenues" can be very misleading if you're not accounting for seasonality and vacancy.No need to reinvent the wheel- just look at KPI's for the Hotel Industry.Revenue Per Available Room (RevPar).RevPar = Average Daily Rate (ADR) * Occupancy.  

This is not a complaint, but there will be a lot of flipping pages to write everything, as you have to do the weekly part (tracking daily habits) and daily part, daily.

First post on BiggerPockets.I am highly interested in real estate, listen to podcast and read bigger pockets on a daily basis.

Cold Calling (daily)for rent ads/ For saleCraigslist, Trulia/Zillow, other FSBO websites, newspapers, etcBandit SignsPut across major intersections AdsVehicle Signs – good quality car magnets on both sides of car.Internet Marketing / Social MediaPost ads on Craigslist and other sitesAds for Cash Buyers (BtoC) and Ads for home sellers (AtoB)Learn a certain market (Walk/Drive for dollars)Get to know certain neighborhood.

So I live in pain daily but have to deal with it the best i can.  

I recommend setting up keyword alerts for each area as they are discussed in the forums daily with advertisements posted in the BiggerPockets marketplace hourly.One thing to note when looking at the individual markets, you can make or loose money in any market.

It sounds like it would reduce the amount to bring to closing but in the end will cost you more in interest unless you'd gain rent to offset daily interest.

Daily progress!

As long as it isn't a daily parade most people won't complain and you still get to show the units.
