This would be a VERY inefficient method and leaves me wanting to just send that list out to a different mailer service.What is everyone's thoughts?

Are their listings detailed with good quality photos?

This attracts a higher-quality renter, ensures funds are available to maintain the home, and reduces the risk of major losses.

If you don’t have one already, try adding a video or virtual tour to attract more interest.Make sure your photos are high-quality and show the best features of the home.

I think the problem here is your lumping ALL syndicators, regardless of operational time and quality, into 1 big generalization. 

Also, do you have any idea what you'd like to do in terms of the method of investing? 

Best way to find cohosting gigs is to look for properties that should be performing well based on their location and quality of furnishings or amenities but cannot seem to get good reviews.

Then, having covered my base, I'd try to differentiate myself, by having the best located property, the best quality property (given the price of course) and offer the best experience.

Other factors such as the quality of the tenant, and location will also determine the value you can get.

A lot of people will pay $1200/nt for 4 crappy budget motel 6 quality rooms at the All-Star resort rather than $175/nt for an 8br themed out mansion with a private pool, theater, and $30,000 arcade room.To answer your original question on investing over a long-term period, that is really this market's main strength.
