In a similar situation I had very good success with direct mail. I sent out a similar number of mailers and was able to write a somewhat personal sounding letter, return address it with a local address, use stamps I stuck on myself, and make it look the opposite of a direct mailer. I had a very high response rate (16%+), and ended up buying a few deals because I took the extra time.

As a contrast I had run my list through a phone number generating service, and I checked what number the lead called me from against what the service said their number was, and only one or two were correct.

It's already been there for 100 years, it will probably make it 100 more.

If you chase perfection on older houses you will end up bald, broke, or both. 

My city uses that system, I paid for about 50 listings, got 14 call backs on my campaign, 1 closed deal, and 2 closing this summer. Going to be at around 4k/mo in cash flow from spending 150 bucks.

But yeah, its too expensive.

Yup ^, bake the cost of the gas into rent, too much hassle billing for actual use

A tenant complaining that the water heater wasn't big enough to fill a soaking tub wouldn't get a reply from me, but you do you

They offered to pull the permit and you refused to pay for it, this is on you.

Your pictures are 7/10, but do the job so no real complaints there. But your 'cover' photo is a closeup of the garage door, fix that and make it a nice warm picture of the kitchen and living room, something that looks 'homey'

Besides those easy changes the others above have some good advice

Link would help.

It's also the low season for rentals in snowy climates so slow is not unheard of.
