Quote from @Nina Diehl: I would do the window covering.

I am considering these types of homes as well......with window units. 

@Elton John - I'd go to Star Hardware in Hartford and ask them who buys a lot of windows from them and see if they can give you a phone number.  

Insulation/Windows: What is the average payback period you see on high-efficiency windows and insulation vs. the cost, especially for rental properties?

The best realtors don’t spend all day cold calling cuz it wears you out and don’t get you many deals most times. instead they go after internet leads because people online are already looking to buy or sell so the con...

AI is everywhere now and people are starting to tune it out

Obvious next step.Outcome: Higher opt-in rates and fewer drop-offs.Step 4: Connect the follow-up – Deliver the magnet by email and kick off a short nurture.Outcome: Fast replies, booked calls, and warmer conversations.Step 5: Promote it everywhere – Pin it to your profiles, run a small ad, add a QR code to mailers, and link it from blog posts.Outcome: Consistent daily signups instead of random spikes.Sample Templates or ScenariosCampaign outline: “Thinking of Selling in [ZIP]”Audience: Owners in 66208 who plan to list in 3–6 monthsLead magnet: 7-page “Pricing and Prep Playbook for 66208”Landing page: Headline, 3 bullets, short form, privacy notePromotion: Two feed posts, one email to SOI, $10/day zip-code ad, QR on postcardFollow-up: 5-email series with tips, then invite to a short pricing consultEmail sequence (5 messages, plain text)Delivery: Link to the guide and one tip they can use todayStory: A quick win from a recent sale in their areaEducation: Common pricing mistake and how to avoid itSoft proof: Short review from a local clientNext step: Offer a quick call or home value reviewChecklist: “Weekend Prep for Show-Ready Photos”Clear counters and floorsLight bulbs matched and workingFresh towels and neutral linensCurb touch-ups and swept walkwaysScent neutral, windows cleanedInvestor scenario: “2-Unit Analyzer”Magnet: Google Sheet that calculates taxes, insurance, rent, vacancy, and cash-on-cashNurture: Three short emails on screening, maintenance, and lending contactsClose: Invitation to get on a weekly deals listMistakes to AvoidToo generic – “Ultimate home guide” sounds nice and converts poorlyToo hard to consume – Keep it short, skimmable, and useful on a phoneNo follow-up – If delivery is the end, the lead goes coldWeak headline – Lead with the outcome and the audienceAsking for too much – Start with name and email; add phone laterSet and forget – Update quarterly so advice and stats stay currentThe Bottom LineLead magnets work because they flip the script.

Also the main big box store changed their policy in my area recently and they won't deliver if nobody is home so it's challenging to schedule delivery around a tenants schedule especially because they give a 3 hour time window and sometimes deliver at a completely different time.

IMO, no amount of insurance savings will generate a reasonable ROI on replacement windows.
