I have communicated with my tenants, handymen and contractors though phone calls, emails and SMS. It turns out the most efficient way is the short message, especially while I have a full time job.
I am thinking to use SMS or the application like whatsapp as the main communication tool. Hope to be the only communication channel in the future. Just want to see whether anybody has any experience. Any comment is highly appreciated.

for communication with your tenant...if it got down to it, how would you admit SMS into evidence of a trial if needed? I know google voice makes that easy to track & print off, but don't know about other applications.
A guy that mentors me and has an eviction business has always cautioned using txt for that reason. I think it is (almost) as easy using email and have preferred that method after his cautioning.
